Did they even fixed support center exploit?

As a matter of fact they didn't, which means, as a lawful member of the community, who wishes game all the best, you have to publicly tell about this exploit, because, it will bring attention of the developers, which in return grantees a fast fix.

Show Spoiler

But I really don't get where people are coming from with this "they prioritized the store over fixing the game or adding features!", like how exactly do you come to the conclusion that they pulled manpower & resources away from balance patches and features so that they can rush the store out? In fact, it is very likely that it's completely separate teams working on those things.

Because, even if its true, you cant say otherwise.

Is it hard to fix icons? No, its not. Yet its not fixed, despite art team was working on the shop. They made few new art accents, but left untouched unfinished ones. Why? Probably majority of the negative attitude from players, included re-used or unfinished assets along other things.

Is it hard to make new maps? Well to some extend, but if Relic had a team dedicated to it, for sure we would have had at least few new maps. Even with bad world editor people already pumping out decently looking map. Yet, nothing. If they dont have ideas or they are afraid about balance, why not remade maps from CoH1\CoH2? We already have re-used maps in CoH3 for different gamemodes, so they could've even make 1 4v4 map and scale it down up to 1v1 if need be. Still would've been better then having bare minimum.

Is it hard to fix game breaking bugs like, MGs getting destroyed in the garrisons, if the gunner gets killed or demo charges destroying the bases? No its not, yet we have 1 million fixes for the SP. Dispute the fact that, probably almost every one who wanted it already finished SP. Its not worth replaying because of the fixes.

Is it hard to fix player colours? Maybe even temporary just removing unique colours in favour of the CoH2 styled ones? Probably not. But there might be no functional to make it in this way right now. Then there is another question. Why was it even released in this state? It was pretty clear during all the testing, that its idea isnt working, people reported it. Yet, was ignored.

Last balance patch was almost a month ago, is it really that hard to get data on the oblivious problems if there is a dedicated balance team? Which cant even write a change log properly btw. At least balance team, required approval for their changes from relic and also open\close balance testings were done before patches, so it understandable why it took so long in the past. Even when CoH2 was under the relic team, we got big balance patches every month.
Let alone the fact, that 99% of the balance problems were reported during during tech tests. And it was pretty clear that this feedback was just ignored.
Why? because, even if, Relic just didn't have time to finish balance patch for launch, they would've have at least basic ideas on what balance problems they should work post launch and big balance patch would been already out.

So yeah, maybe there are different teams, maybe there are no manpower shortage, but nothing at all in Relic actions proves this. Or maybe its just the case of pure management idioticy.

I think DAK is fundamentally miss-designed in certain areas. Namely that they don't have handheld at options. The Pjäger call-in is nice, but 4 men are squishy, you can't get them "on demand" and they struggle against anything that's not a light vehicle. The issue is that at is really hard to get for DAK. Just think about, you need to spend another 45 fuel just to be able to build AT guns, which suck anyways and are unusable on certain maps. The heal is another thing that is just mind-boggling stupid.

The only thing they have going for them are 8rads, Stugs and Carrot spam (for now at least). But the design is really limited. I think it's a fundamental weakness in the design philosophy of "units are weak but scale with upgrades". That still means you have to spend 300 MP for the weakest mainline, while 200mp paths, 260mp sections and riflemen rip you a new one from the get-go...

DAK is good, besides the fact that PGs are over-priced, but PGs being shit is more of a problem of their damage profile, which resembles shotgunts rather then bolt-rifles.

But aside from PGs and 250, almost every single stock DAK unit is usable and good. Ones you start getting upgrades they become even better, DAK has the most cost efficient units in the game. As for AT options, dak can just use upgraded Marders, which is by far the best TD in game.

On the other hand try to play non-meta Wehr to actually see what is miss-designed faction really is.

What I don't get as it is right now in this argument is how 9-10k players is bad result?

Game is basically have close to zero content and pretty fked up balance, yet it maintains player base bigger then CoH2 after all these years, meaning that more people are playing it.

CoH2 on release had peak of 21k players, then lowered to 7k in one month, after another month it went to 4-5k. After all changes stable online became around 7-8k players daily, after release of CoH3 it dropped to 5k peak.

CoH1 before release of CoH2 maintained around 5k players, after CoH2 release it dropped to 3k, slowly declining as CoH2 updates started to roll out.

Now CoH3 had 31k peak, now its 9k daily, so you can assume another bunch of people will stop playing until the next big patches\updates. So why CoH3 player base dropping is something special all of a sudden?

And since a lot of people are fans of "DoW3 incident". DoW3 had 25k on release, lowered to 4k in 1 month, next month lowered to 1.5k players. So yeah, CoH3 is no where near.

Honestly out-side of 1v1 and 2v2, MP40 grens besides super early power-spike still fall off pretty badly. In smaller gamemodes they are a bit more viable, since its possible to pick favourable engagements.

I kinda get the concept of grens being just purely a meat-shield before you transfer them into PGs\Jaegers but this concept is honestly dumb, it was bad for soviets already.

Would rather see them as a cons, via vet, where they start off being weaker, but with vet becoming actually useful units. I still feel like, grens should be viable and at least some sort of threat and not complete push-over.
