Had to giggle at this

So, Xmass is here, and DF gave engineers a Xmass tree, to build, i think i used it like twice, once i even built it before a sandbag on a obj :stuck_out_tongue:

So they give us a tree to place, to spread xmass cheer, in a game, and low and behold, the Grinch’s of xmass have come out

  • Increased cost for building a Christmas tree in resources from 0 to 3.

Now , who would even bother to spread cheer, while, it now costs you, wasting resources, so sad/greedy.
Could of been worse i guess, and they cost you Egold to plant.

Well, what a shame we can no longer build ammo boxes then. Because xmas trees are more important. :stuck_out_tongue:

It would make more sense to leave them free but provide no XP.

Engineer might be hardcoded to get 1 engineer point for a building and it might be too much hassle to fix it for this single use on Christmash

What, so thats why they did it :cry:
Ban the clown, that exploited it ffs

I think its mostly because players put them in doors to stop enemy bots and players.

I actually build tons of them up on a coal/rock loading tower that got exposed a bit for our sniper yesterday :smiley: Think that made his day and was perfect to hide behind those christmas trees. I also gave him his own personal ammo box

So far nerfing rally points so there was like 92% area of the map they were forbidden to be built was really mind blowing. I couldn’t understand how they could push it into public branch without prior testing. At least they reverted it back pretty soon.

So far there were:

  • Shotguns Nerf
  • Rally points Nerf
  • Semiauto ROF Nerf

But I may be forgetting something else.

there were some seemingly random changes to the bombloads of the pe-3 and bf 109 f-2 aswell

All of these recent questionable nerfs starting with semiautos is just

defo more to come. Have no doubts.

It’s highly possible with spaghetti code that they put 0 pts and somehow it overflowed and gave 100000000000 pts.
