The devs need their priorities fixed

This post is kind of rant-ish but I have to get it out.

What the hell is happenning in DF headquarters that the devs were like: “We must change the BP! Its what the playes want!” and “We must improve the lighting and reflections! The game is unplayabe like this!”
Who asked for this? I do not recall seeing a single post about how the graphics are the problem, and we complained enough about the new event BP and why it shouldn’t be a thing.
The players have been asking for AGES for some actual gameplay changes to be made (like customizable ammo loadouts on vehicles, the famed Manchuria campaing and an ever growing number of more).
Why is the funding not going to what we actually want?
Why care about stuff that nobody asked for when MM is still as F##ked as ever?
Why care when Germany still doesn’t have a 100 round MG?
Why care when bipods are still janky?
Why care when conquest is still sh#t?
You know the rest.

It seems to me that this game is asking to die.
Please for the love of god put funding somewhere else.

Imposible to balance that is why
customizable ammo, would be like giving every vehicle every ammo type.
loadouts on vehicles because you cant trade ap for heat 1 for 1

It’s like DF has too many creatives that like to ruin our fun with their bright ideas (paid steam launch, halloween paid event and now reworked BP) and too many graphic guys while almost zero competent coders to fix the game.

Their map makers could be as well be kidnapped by other Gaijin’s dev team since they haven’t released anything major except Rzvev which is pretty much just a mix of old maps with a few new props and objects.

How could a single Chinese dude making Modern Conflict could achieve something way more fun and complex that DF ever could assemble in their basement.

Plus with every new “fix”, something breaks.

Priorities are definitely odd. The devs have very selective hearing or the moderators push certain suggestions to them from a very biased perspective.

If they never want to add belt fed German MGs, customizable vehicles loadouts, or whatever, a simple “no” would be nice to hear. At least we know we have been heard.

They ended the halloween event early that i paid for but would have it finished today due to work i started late… but i was about to unlocked the browning 1919 bloody… and now i lost the samurai squad as well. As a contributor and supporter since CBT this hurt me badly by the SNAIL!!

All so that I MUST BUY THE NEXT BP. That forces your rewards completely…

Same here. Playing since late 2021 as a F2P player. I don’t really find the game to be that much fun as I used to earlier. I remember the good old days when we used to get 1-2 campaigns per year alongside a ton of content. Nowadays it feels like I am just opening the game to grind these monthly events. I hope things do change for the better.

Hope they doing better and active market

More fomo grind, now not just in events but also in constantly changing rapid BP grind events! Lets remove player choice and make sure that everyone is fomo grinding the same thing.

But even better there are also regular pay grind events like the stupid earth shield, where the rewards are at the same time lame and immersion breaking. The whole event is also terribly designed and buggy AF. But more fomo, more grind, more cash (?)

New content in tech trees? Not enough fomo or grind!

New maps or campaigns? Not enough fomo or grind!

Custom weapon loadouts? Not enough fomo or grind!

Etc.

Thank you for your post. Dont feel bad about a rant cause I believe youve covered how pretty much everyone is feeling.

Yesterday I asked a community manager direct how to the devs choose maps?

I gave some examples but also specified that I wasnt saying hey make this map that I personally want, I was seeking to understand the developer’s thought processes.

Another point/question I had was I’ve noticed the game seems to focus on ‘generic’ maps like ‘snow’ ‘desert’ ‘Pacific island’ rather than real life battles or even locations in some cases.

We’ve all had various suggestions for new maps, or improvements of existing ones.
Every single one of these has so far been ignored.

As you mention we got this weird Rzhnev update that no one asked for, to that I would add the argument Ive made many times now how especially Tunisia and the Pacific, the maps are all same old, same old.
Myself and others genuinely forgot we had a ‘new’ Pacific map after like 5 days because it was so similar to existing maps.

My argument has always been, and I believe its a valid argument, that the devs really need to sit down and think about what would be a really good addition to the game.

For just one example: Pacific needs something completely different. Manila has been requested by the playerbase a lot and it gives Japan a new urban warfare map, plus another urban warfare map for Allies since USA-UK currently only has Omer.

I know the playerbase has been asking for USSR VS Japan for ages. Some have made valid points about why Manchuria 1945 might not work. However, the other option which Ive discussed elsewhere is to add Chinese squads as a part of USSR and Chinese maps and do it that way.
That would tick off both USSR vs Japan + a new faction (sort of) + Sino-Japanese War.

France is another nation that has been much requested, its very strange to me we have a BP M24/29 in USA (??) and a French Resistance premium squad, plus Moroccan auxiliaries premium, plus French weapons in Axis tree, yet no proper French squads, uniforms or (excluding Normandy) maps.

For myself Im sure many of you are familiar with my requests for freely available Commonwealth uniforms, including slouch/digger hats for Australians (remembering that these assets already exist, they just need to make them available in appearances).

Now I agree there are some more pressing issues, but I would hope people also agree that its pretty silly when the devs are supposedly “too busy” to add something as simple as a hat or British uniform with CANADA written on the side, yet have the time to do stupid events like Earth Shield with whole new monsters, lots of new appearances, new guns?

Modern war is more popular but same thing, new guns, new appearances, new tanks even; yet when someone requests one 100 round German MG, an M93 Mannlicher, a slouch hat, whatever it is, devs and their supporters are like nahhh cant do that, too busy.

The myth of the parrot lives on

Myth? He still haunts people’s PMs, regularly. It’s becoming an issue at this point.

I reckon it could be done.

Just tie payload to BR

Plane has its base BR, BR raises depending on what you strap to it

Plane: Mosquito no ordnance BR 2 (its just an example)

Setup 1 (BR 2)
2 × G.P. 250 lb Mk.IV bomb


Setup 2 (BR 3)
2 × G.P. 500 lb Mk.IV bomb


Setup 3 (BR 4)
8 × RP-3 rockets


Setup 4 (BR5)
4 × Uncle Tom rockets


Tanks by shell type and ammount (really only matters for a select few that use HEAT)
