except that has nothing to do with squads-stacking?
fairly sure if you would segregate clans in their own MM nothing will change.
because clans are a minority.
and squads stacking happens on a greater scale regardless of clans.
i’m more hinting at the fact that we are wasting time implementing something that does not benefit the majority of players.
instead of ( mods and custom games ), which arguably improve what actually allows more people to keep playing this game once everything has been grinded? again, clans them selves included ?
This sort of comment was something fully expected - and fully understandable. It will be one of the main points of feedback from this dev blog itself.
That being said, I wouldn’t expect some solution for this immediately in a very-soon coming update, since developers are of course very busy with the things spoken about in the text/roadmap and other priorities. It is something we’ll mention as a priority though, since I don’t think anyone is in doubt that players really want to use different nations “fully”.
In all honesty, I really hope that this “map ban” actually happens, because I will make sure to ban Japan’s maps once and for all!
NOTE > DISAPPEAR JAPAN MAPS FROM MY LIST, FROM MY GAME!
I hate playing against this japan in this game!
Out of 10 matches against JAPANESE, I lose 8 and it’s always a massacre!
It’s incredible that when I’m playing with the USA and I activate BOOSTER of more than 100% and above, the damn Japan always comes as an enemy, and I can’t score almost anything, and in the end I LOSE miserably!
so do this, because I will be one of the players who will make a point of banning or at least EXCLUDING from the MY map list, everyone that involves Japan, I want this nation to disappear from my screen hahaha too much appeal and the players who use it are addicts with no social life!
Well the easiest option would be to add those outfits to all the squads.
And then it’s up to the players themselves if they want to dress their Italian or German in a German or Italian uniform.
But if the developers eventually manage that, nationalities will only be able to wear outfits of their own nationality. I’ll be happy. But I honestly don’t expect anything like that.
I wish things were that simple but from all the stuff I saw from Erika it’s a nightmare and it’ll be much better for the devs to make new squads who have new layout instead of touching ancient code.
Do remember that this was already on previous roadmaps, and it does say it’s a “Considered Feature”.
I think it’s also worth separating clans into “competitive clans” (which I at least believe is what you refer to as the small minority) and “casual, friend clans” (a much larger proportion of the playerbase, as in, anyone who just wants to play with their friends, and depending on how the system may work, work towards something fun and cool), since these would be very different. There are benefits to both for players and developers, and a clan system would work and be fun for all players - it wouldn’t be tailored to just competitive players.
“Clan” itself may even be the wrong word to use, I admit, as it suggests, as you rightly said, that it’s only for a small proportion of players.
i feel in a thread about transparency that this is a BS answer.
the lack of regression testing is appalling in this game, i hope that whoever oversees the production code was also “let go” in the latest batch of firings because its been so grossly mismanaged over the years that it shouldn’t go further than it already has.
you cant counter this with “rushed out code, no time for regression testing” because the updates are far and few
the averange joe playing enlisted absolutely does not care about any of that.
it has more to do with clans own ego and self pride more than anything else.
it benefits literally no one but themselves.
yet the modders who low key does much more FOR MORE PEOPLE are often ignored and out right disrspected. and instead of aiding modders and improve moddng in general while improving their tools for casuals, clans veterans, HA enjoyers, nothing ?
they have literally nothing to look forward to.
just wow.
why should clan deserve their own place when they could just gather into custom matches?
guess we’ll never know.
muh EPP must be so much more important.
imagine if the devs said to the modders to make 4~ new maps then they add them as an event in the game to see which the players would like added the most.
then they could outsource maps and have new maps ready with future updates.
admittedly they would probably only pay 100 gold a map~
This is not only greatly appreciated in terms of transparency and keeping us updated, but also very thoughtfully put together. It’s certainly a great relief for many of us to see some reciprocation about upcoming changes, testing past present and future and most certainly about our own feedback concerning so many things.
I really do earnestly believe that through continuing this forum practice from here on, will bring further peace of mind towards many of us and so many other players.
Once again wonderful job and please do keep up the great work, a big thank you from me and many others, to yourself, the other CMS, helpers, alphas and of course the Devs
