Let's take axis post proposed changes

Mess Room

Ok let’s put this into perspective, purely looking at one of the countries - axis

Why against: one new combined super meta
The games will be all about highest level stuff wins, anything low level will be pointless now.

New axis meta:
Axis squads will no longer be varied, they will all have Engineers from Stalingrad FG42 from Berlin, Offenrohs from Normandy, MG45s, King Tiger from Berlin or TigerEs from Berlin, Jagdpanther from Berlin, ju188 from Normandy or Fw190 D from berlin, Bf109G10 premium.

Why against: Makes my premiums pointless
It won’t matter what campaign / map you play on, it totally negates the use of my various premium squads, I won’t use them because the other bought premiums and the above line up is all I need.

I recently bought P40, 2002 in Tunisia, where will they go? When will I use them? (Currently I can chose I fancy a Tunisia flight in my Hurricaine MkIV and p40)

Why against: Every game will be against try hards and sides will never get balanced as I won’t be able to help weaker side.

I played this game daily because it was fun, I don’t want to sweat in every match just because I’m end game and I used to go to the losing side and try and help balance out with one of my premiums, ie M3 on Moscow, or Stug III

Why cant you invest more time with certain restrictions on MM, if at very least matchmaking logic is split into Early, mid and late war Time periods it would stop this blurring and there would be 3 meta axis squads not just one.

Why against: Not properly Alpha tested
Something needs to be done, but making decisions without proper user testing? I thought there was a call for Alpha testers and then we hear nothing? Alpha test proposed changes, there are plenty of end game players here.

Why: My choice is being taken away and will never meet new players again
I play this game for the freedom, when soloing I help out, I fly and practice bombing, I go on certain campaigns Allied Normandy, Berlin Axis, Pacific Allies to help out, even meet new players offer them guidance and invite into our clan, won’t have that opportunity any more and will be likely put against same players over and over again.

Why: You will lose an income source when the players like me leave
I have spent well over 2k GBP since CBT on this game, I have / had a monthly premium budget to buy the new stuff that is released especially, I had no hesitation as this game was going in the right direction and I loved it’s historical battles

I guess we will have to see, bottom line Alpha test this before rolling out another game breaking change please

Agreed. As of right now I currently have no plans to buy anything else if the they continue this current direction. I will stay because I did pay money but won’t pay more. If my current payments become obsolete I’ll definitely leave the game.

For both balance and accuracy, i made a list like you have mentioned. I took about 3 hours but i listed every free unlockables and tried to sepsrate them according to timeline, power and current campaigns. It somewhat like this but devs will dont care i guess

Yet another overdramatic guy with another terrible opinion how to “save this game”. It’s so annoying to read things like this. I don’t think you are as important as you think lol.

I will also not invest more money until i see how the changes play out and whether i like them or not. :man_shrugging:

Maybe Gaijin’s accounting team will have last say, when they see their primary source of income will go if they make unrestricted changes to MM.

I have never been so active on the forum, but I play this game daily, even now logging in for a nice Tunisia fight, but that is my choice and taking my freedom of choice away is never a good thing!

I imagine they can gather alpha testers and give them access to a version of the game that has the system they want to implement, so they can see how well it works before fully releasing the new system to everyone.

Yes, I would have thought so, @1942786 @James_Grove @Ungorisz have you got plans to Alpha test this change with real existing players before implementing?

I really loved the idea of campaigns. I liked the idea of different atmospheres and theatres as well as roleplaying with my squads. I didnt always equip my squads with the highest gear, I would roleplay m1 grand and carbine for fun. But thats out the window. I was also looking forward to event squads and premium squads but they seem pointless now.

Ive invested time and money aswell, unfortunatley in the hundreds of dollars, buying premiums for my favorite campaigns such a snormandy and tunisia. However, it all seems pointless now. No more roleplaying 101st airbourne division in Normandy, or Marines in Pacific. Its all guna go to crap now. I was really hoping to see uniqueness like paratroopers parachuting into Normandy etc. But theres a reason why I dont play the new MW2 over enlisted, because MW2 is a garbage fuckfest. If they want to go that route, theyll lose my interest as well.

This won’t be the case since there is a BR mechanic. They will face is2 and federov if they use those weapon.
So why will it make low level stuff pointless? If you use low level stuff you will meet people who use it.

11

Ok so you are saying I want to chose low level on purpose, the logic is somewhat confused, I used BA Lebel premiums in Berlin for fun, now you are saying I equip low level stuff and farm new players, where is balance in that?

12

Where is the balance of using tiger against stuart which is happening now?

13

Its a flawed fucking system, they shouldve have just let us que as nations, and then randomize what campaigns is played according to that nation.

Wtf xD I am not stopping to invest into enlisted. Just yesterday I bought dicker max + nearly every customization slot.

Today I will buy 99euro pack again I guess. Just because of you.

I think they specifically said that even using low level stuff you can still run into KT, etc. That depends on the MM queue, and whether there are enough high level players to populate matched between eachother with or not.

Too lazy to find the exact quote tho.

16

That situation happen if there are not enough high level player. If everyone is using high level equipment like OP said, there will be no such situation.

17

Well, change all to “most” and it will be true. :man_shrugging:

18

What are you talking about? what “all”? Equipment? Player?

19

Everyone.

20

How did “most” make it true? Most people using high level weapon still mean there is enough high level player, so you will still not meet low level player.
