First off I’d like to say the game is in a really really bad spot right now. The game is not in a healthy state and people are leaving because balance updates are slow, they feel untested and there is a critical lack of communication from the dev team. Not to mention game breaking stuff takes ages to patch.
(i would also like to add that I’m maxed on every campaign, so this is a non biased complaint)
This game desperately needs an english community manager, this would fix the lack of communication from the developers and would help quell a lot of the issues such as the whining on discord and reddit, if this game is to take itself seriously it needs someone to fill this position quickly. I think i can speak for a lot of people that two goobers on twitch giving out free stuff does not count as a community manager.
The update drips for this game need to increase - with the amount of content you have saved up like the bazooka for the allies, and several other weapons and vehicles this should not be a problem. Adding 3 campaign levels every few months is not going to cut it if this game is going to maintain a healthy community and playerbase. I think i can also speak for a lot of people when i say WE DO NOT MIND FREQUENT TUNING UPDATES!!! Seriously, the overpowered arty spam has been an issue for far too long and is driving people away from the game. If updates for this game are not put out more frequently this game will be dead within the year. I’d also like to note, if nothing is done by the time battlefield 6 releases this game will die. I can already notice queue times getting longer and longer.
We need a roadmap. It won’t be hard to put together, and nobody will hold you accountable for missing deadlines. But we as a community need some assurances and want to get an idea for what’s in store, any self respecting game has a roadmap if nothing else this would put a lot of restless peoples mind to ease.
TLDR; We need more information from developers and we need a community manager, plus a roadmap or this game will be severely hurt/killed within the year.
Signed, Escalate from the discord mod team, along with several other mods and many other active players.
Agreed, I’m fully invested in Berlin ($100 spent on it invested) and artillery spam is making me play 1-2 games a day when I used to play 5-6, I want the devs to experiment with balance more, it’s a beta- test making everything under and overpowered for a day to a week to make sure it’s balanced. My opinion, fully agree with your post escalate. Signed- another mod from the server
agreed 100% there, i belive we need an active community manager on all platforms, when the game started i would play all day long, but the updates have slowed down, a Road Map is as Escalate said very important as it looks as its gets your players more aware of whats going on
Some things I’d like to bring up in addition to what Escalate said are the awkward Combat Zone borders on Berlin mixed with the bad spawns on there for defenders are making it very easy for Soviets to capture one point then run to the other while you might have just spawned on the previous point as a defender just to see your next point getting captured while you have to run 150m to it.
Normandy’s vehicle imbalance is kind of noticeable with the Jumbo being an almost obnoxious vehicle to deal with as Germany’s current vehicle roster is lack luster on there hopefully we will be getting a Panther or Tiger on Normandy to counter this. The plane imbalance is kind of noticeable and will hopefully be resolved with Germany getting better AA or gunners for the Ju188, the FW190 is kind of lack luster in comparison to some of the allied planes aswell.
Conquest is hit or miss with alot of the community I know 90% of players I’ve met and or played with dislike this game mode and prefer invasion.
and last we would all love an option to select a certain game mode or set of maps I know I’d rather quit a conquest map than sit there and play the boring state that it is in
Moscow is more or less balanced because it has been heavily tested since last September. The same can’t be said about the other campaign.
The devs should allow a few players who know what they are doing to test campaigns early and iron out the issues before it is up for purchase. All the complains on the forum and their fixes has only ever caused more issues in the game. This is how it has been since closed alpha started.
100% agree with the tuning updates, bugs and such should always be fixed even while getting new content into the game. New content would be worthless if it is a buggy mess
Also quick addition to my post, Normandy Germany could really use the panzerfaust considering allies have the piat at this time the Sturmpistole is just not on par
Escalate is right in many aspects of the game ,when it comes to the future and present ,if they dont do anything to change or fix the current problems that this game has it WILL DIE, it will be a batlefield 5 all over again and speaking for a player that spent a lot of hours in the game this is basically going on that direction and i DO NOT want to see another game into that direction
Or people can stop being no-lifers and not complete the game so quickly. I haven’t finished a single campaign with one faction with a good amount of hours invested every week. And I rarely have low EXP games, so that’s not it.
You are seriously underestimating the work it takes to put new contents into the game. If it were up to me, I’d concentrate on solving the bugs before introducing new levels and equipment. I wouldn’t have let the game into open beta in the first place but we are past that point unfortunately.
Maybe, yes. But from what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t be surprised if testing access is given for a small sum of 99$.
even if they won’t read it great job
