Introduce the gendarmerie guy from april as an Assaulter squad alongside some french resistance members ( utilizing editor assets ) As a Compensation

i wanted to release this suggestion yesterday. but i got caught up by few things and didn’t had to much time on my hand. so i’m finishing it today while i’m at work ( don’t try this at home kids. or… i guess at work in this case :upside_down_face: )

so, to capitalize on the tragedy that the event has been in the history of this game, which it won’t probably be the last one, and act quick on it while salvaging the situation, i bet they weren’t so ready for this one.

i say that if they truly meant what they wrote:

how about making that future more present?.
and more concrete.

especially taking into consideration that they did planned on adding one or more of the goofy characters from the april fool event again:

( just like they did for halloween )

except it makes no sense.
because literally the character with most kills is going to be the samurai as he is the standard character. unless that was intentional and premeditated, it also makes no sense on a second level considering that this samurai was already introduced in the halloween battlepass ( a battlepass that i bought but apparently didn’t needed to because as rng/silver crates will essentially contain previous special battlepass weapons and squads. such as the battle pass ones. so effe my gold i guess )

but, to make sense and to at least gain back some of that trust, i came with the easiest solution and a more logical one.

i’m sorry to sound pretentious and/or kinda similar to paradivision. but enough is enough.
after 5 years we keep running in circles. and at this point, this situation is becoming a circus. and yes. i maybe am a clown. but it takes one to know one.
regardless, i am going to vote, and i did so with my wallet:


( hence, the whole clownette arc. kinda borned as a jest of it, as i’m aware of my own actions, and also inspite of this april fool. )

Main Suggestion & Compensation for the community

with this suggestion i wanted to tackle a couple of points:

  • a suitable compensation for the community
  • avoid wasting decent assets
  • introduce a squad that is grounded and still has to do with the second world war.
  • and above all, faster to implement considering:

which implies it was just a matter of time as someone was actively going to introduce pan / naked man ( or anyone else for that matter ) eventually.
scrap that, and follow this one instead.

i present you a new and more appealing, french assaulter " The resistancè " squad for the US faction:

features of this squad
( which developers will have to implement. but it’s not set in stone. major / minor adjustments can be done accordingly )

  • an unique french squad with all french speaking “soldiers”
  • new cosmetics featuring french salopettes
  • x2 “original” gendarmerie Assaulters with the new MAB 38 ( for US. opposed as germany )
  • an additional radioman, anti tank trooper and engineer all equipped with m1 carbines
  • a rather handsome fella with hair

the squad composition is precisely copied from the halloween USSR assaulter squad, so… even less work.

image

but to make it unique, let’s use assets from the editor. so it’s going to be even faster to make this squad and on top, be unique. ( although, if needed, they can all wear the gendarmerie uniform i guess. )

Why the m1 carbine?

because that’s what some of the french resistance were equipped with.

french resistance

the other alterinative, would be the Enfield M1917 considering that they also issued those.

and since most french weapons are behind gold orders, or straight up given to the germans, the m1 seemed to be the logical choice which is also friendly within what current classes can use.

but, it’s kinda up to devs. and players will be able to equip them with other type of weapons anyway.
since in the HW squads, you are able to do the same.

Why give the mab38 to only this squad?

ideally, said weapon can be used by any squads. but as explained, since it was a french weapon, and since the gendarmerie are french, it wouldn’t hurt have 2 of these weapons given to the US. kinda like a trade off.

but there are no french radioman / engineer or anti tank troopers

you’d be correct, but Wrong.

just like us modders can in our mods, it is possible to create any type of soldier and assign it a class. fairly confident that developers can do that as well.

in conclusion

that’s… kinda pretty much all. not ideal to some people, but better than nothing. and still concrete rather than gambling.

granted, there are way more cosmetics. and i would have loved to get an adrian helmet instead.
but that’s probably never going to happen in any foreseeable future. so, let’s take what we have already, and give it a new light.

any improvements upon this suggestion are welcomed.
although i doubt there are many.

as i figure most will be already busy with:

but that’s all.

p.s.
yes, you are allowed to make fun of me for getting this rather awefull battlepass
which i personally do not reccomend since they already stated that:

but you do you.
i never claimed to be smart in the first place :wink:

No, I prefer a full squad with mas 38, 6 soldiers with mas38, 4 assaulters, an engineer and an AT. They can have the blue color uniform in Normandy, and in other battles the same uniform but gray and brown.
They can also have these hats only in Normandy and receive helmets in other battles.

none of the other halloween squad have more than 5 members though.

not sure they will allow an entire squad with 5 mas while germany only gets 4.
for paying no less.

guess you’ll have to sort this one with developers.
( assuming they will actually take feedbacks )

the uniform does not have additional colors beside blue.

unlike the salopettes which has a new color system.
aka, more “sectionized”.

so… also that’s probably going to be a pass.

If they are not beneficial for DF to make profits, then these things will be very difficult to come true. As you can see, the current April Fool’s Day event is simply an ugly hodgepodge pieced together. If they had the ability to create such squads, the April Fool’s Day event surely wouldn’t be in its current state.

but that was their literal intent.

just like the previous bp ?

is reading overrated in todays dayonage over the forums?

do i have to plaster more Train Surfers type of gameplay to get more retention?
or add more slot machines every effing line?

Gotta say i really like your designs for squads.

I don’t believe a single word of what they said. The players have been fooled for a long time.

I guess I missed where they mentioned they were going to add one of these goofy ass characters to the game. Yeah if thats the case your idea is better. But the chance that Darkflow will actually implement your idea is slim to none unfortunately.

that is much true.

although, when it comes to that type of bses, you know they are more often than not, spot on…

dunno.

i doubt they will add a native american / literal gangster / mad max character / actual zombie / different type of naked man ( the ones with the pans, or the one with the pot ). as they wouldn’t really fit.

but… then again, we got a german “survivor” with ripped sleeves in the cold ardenn forest, moscow or stalingrad.

a literal samurai with next to 0 evidences of actually being a thing let alone used in combat.

the soviet guy who is an actual real life soldier of the partisan somewhere and … yeah. i guess you are right. we can expect almost everything.

but again, i think the gendarmerie guy is the less controversial.

If there is a need for voting, I will definitely “vote with my feet” for that exhibitionist with a jar on his head. I hope this jerk goes to hell along with Enlisted.

I hate those Halloween event teams, I just think this uniform is cute and I’d love to have a full squad of them, considering it’s been so long since the last event squad I have every right to demand something like that.
Well, changing their colors isn’t hard.

i don’t

fair enough

ah… you poor innocent thing…

i’ll give you a couple of years and then we’ll talk about it.

actually. no.

tell that to the plane tree camouflage:
( just to name one of many )

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/enlisted/i/FNbHIkZRwtpg

almost 2 year that it has been broken, and they still haven’t fixed it despite 10 bug reports.

speaking of colors, they still haven’t applied APC camouflage customization nor bikes.
which years ago were " underway " :skull:

I didn’t know it was wrong, I never pay attention to colors :joy:. Whatever it is, they’ve designed some of these clothes recently, so it wouldn’t be hard for the person who made them to change their color.
In the end, what you and I say doesn’t matter to DF, this discussion is pointless.

Thank you for suggestion, will forward it to the devs. But after that is up to them с:

As a cm, sometimes you need to show your strong side and be a tough guy.
Not to move forward, but to let them do something.
And let them see how popular one of the developers who was responsible for moving stones and bushes was in the Russian-speaking area (although he encountered fierce protests from players at the beginning). People found that he really recorded various problems reported by players and gave more appropriate answers.
Just like James,
Let more developers learn from you two.
Instead of learning the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs/Logistics/Taxation in the 40k world

Remember the colorful April Fools’ Day eggs of gun paint?
Personally, I think this festival makes crsed become one with us again.
So in the near future, will the new soldier clothing system be provided to players without bugs?
Also, is there a switch that can distinguish the viewing/display of various soldier clothing with historical/simulation/entertainment tags?

This idea is good… but I don’t know how the developers will implement it, even if it’s just copying and pasting the already compiled code.
Too much content that should be published and used is still being postponed, trying to solve bugs, redoing, modifying and shelving.
And the new major update deadline is coming.
The final time when the new roadmap must be released is not far away.
Players don’t even dare to confirm whether there will be delays after 19 days.
Sad.
ps: I can see a lot of good ideas shown on this April Fool’s Day, but how many of them will really be realized? Or how long after that.

cheers :saluting_face:

no idea what you’re talking about

i’d really hope so for modding.

there are alot of cool assets for modding in crsed.
and maps are big.

:point_right: :point_left: so when ?

i mean. it kinda feels like it.

but to be honest, the 3d modeler team does somewhat of a good job when it comes to clothing.

but whoever is tasked to implement said cosmetics or match up in the base game is doing a bit of a slow job.

i guess i should have specified, but the code is in editor term.
which allegedly it’s different.

so… i guess it was more of a code for modders?
i have no idea how the base game relates.

if it’s through jonson, then they should be good.

if not… :woman_shrugging:


this is the beginning of gold/blood/forbidden weapons?
I hope that the reintroduction of crsed characters this time can make the soldiers’ costumes normalized and enriched, with historical/entertaining features, different labels, and corresponding turn on/off options.
