hello again folks.
this thread is mainly about the answers and questions that we got from this stream:
it was hosted by @AlvanTolk and a game developer named pablo/pavlo ( sorry, mic quality wasn’t very good so unfortunately, i couldnt get the name right. ).
since, today i had a free day off from work due to not happening much at “my” company, i decided to make one of those results type of things again. as i understand that not everyone has time for watch the full stream.
so… someone has to do it. might as well be me for today.
KEEP IN MIND
that for the sake of time, some of the answer and questions have been simplified due to, being either too elaborated for just saying yes or no, or too technical to a point where it gets irrelevant ( no disrespect towards anyone of course ). plus, i made it for an easier reading.
( but i still recommend it to watch it. perhaps it’s a bit better to hear while doing something else.)
question number one:
Q: we saw the introduction of the train mode, will this gamemode be available for others campaign as well?
A: ( short answer: ) Yes.
we are planning to release more armored trained content. and we will extend it to other campaign as well.
not only that, but the team is also working with new experimentations of new types of gamemodes that could be interesting.
side note: " we want to make the train gamemode abit shorter and separate it into different missions "
Q: what about mission balancement. any plans?
A: we have updated the balance from time to time, and this year we will update the mission balance more often. we have already have released a big balance patch yesterday, and we are going to release them every 2 weeks. we are also improving our tools for more details statistic analysis. so yes, balance will be constantly improved.
Q: many players like the tournament test, when will we have more of them?
A: we are currently working on the UI improvement as well as the rating calcolation algorithm based on the players feedback. ( but no concrete answer. so my guess based on what i heard, yes but not in the near future )
Q: Players liked the modern event, will be extended, or be used in a separate game?
A: the ww2 will remain the main theme of the game. and more events like the modern one will appear. ( short answer: ) the modern event will might appear in the future.
Q: any words on animations?
A: we often discuss about this issue, and we will apply new improvements and bug fixes related to animation in the near future for example radio operators getting stucked after calling support. but there are many things we want to work on. in the long term, we hope to update the animation system in the game.
A: what about pre gen consoles?
Q: we are currently and will work about optimization
A: any words on gray zone campers ( infantry and tanks) will you do anything?
Q: it’s not an easy one. we will try to address this issue by making the battle area wider, and trying to avoid good positions being acessible by only one team. if this is not enough, we will think about additional matters.
A: do you read the feedbacks and opinion from players?
Q: yes, it is not always possible to respond to all the questions. we have a whole team of helpers and community managers who regularly collect feedbacks and pass it to us, and also the developers read the main forum and social networks. keep in mind that major changes are based by players feedbacks.
remember, your feedbacks are usefull for us. and we want to make more regular polls in the near future.
Q: Sometimes the interface is not user friendly, any words on it?
A: Yes, that is true. we are constantly working on it to improve it.
Q what about suicider bombers? any punishment planned?
A: we are going to increase the delay before the bomb explosions to make suicide bombers on below attitudes less effective.
(?)
Q: are you going to add campaign levels in the middle instead of at the bottom
A: for now, we will continue to add content at the end of the campaigns. but in the future we will consider the idea.
Q: any words on AI improvements?
A: we are upgrading AIs within every updates and we are trying to make more noticable
Q: any words on bunnyhopping?
A: we are thinking about the shooting while jumping more limited and tweak the drop shooting.
in conclusion, a few side notes from me, unfortunately, they haven’t talked about much else and they have been largely vague in some of the answers. for example what type of gamemodes, which way the interface will be improved?, ( but that’s just my opinion ).
campaign levels will not be discussed in Q & A because devs thinks they deserve an entire thread on their own. so we have no idea what and when the next one will be released.
they also mentioned about full turnament gamemodes and modding. but also those deserved an entire on their own ( as they said ).
so yeah, that’s basically it.
now, i’ll go make something else.
