Basically this.
They opted to roll out a new process without actually working out all the details.
And any Game Developer should know by now, the devil is in the details.
also upgrades in squads still give reserve size increases, which is useless now. Frankly, it’s unprofessional how poorly this new system was implemented.
I actually think they said they had to rework that section too (I totally forgot about it till you mentioned it).
It was half thought and done, and now we are in some wierd form of Purgatory while we wait for them to fix it.
Like
This isn’t something you would ever rush in the first place to get out
We could have coasted along just fine until they got it all done and then pushed it as a complete update
Instead we got this and it screwed over new players and anyone who doesn’t want to spend gold on soldiers constantly
I was talking to keofox after the rotation change in the battlepass and he posted this
maybe it’s a christmas present?
gold free?
squad premium free in the battlepass?
a month of premium for free?
I want to know it
It has been 3 weeks and I’m still desperately waiting for more troops. Elite BP is not enough as it was meant to be supplement to random bronze troopers and you simply cannot get same amount of troops relying only on that.
I really feel bad for new players. I have over 600’bronze orders for weapons and soldiers. On top of that I have 40+ silver orders. Wish I could give some out.
And this is mine:
For last 5 months (since I’ve started to play) I’ve only spent about 10 silver weaponry orders and about 5 silver troops orders. Today I may only be short with enough soldiers for Berlin campaign, so these silver cards I could share .
The same story for many, but imagine where you might be if there had been no random bronze order troop delivery, it was like mining Bitcoin in 2009.
Stock up on random bronze order weapon deliveries while you can.
You can’t believe how sorry I am to haven’t heard about this just a month earlier. Oh the envy towards those who had the chance to stock up their troops with countless soldiers.
I actually think it’s maybe a better strategy now to move T1 soldiers into newly unlocked T2/T3 squads to level the T2 soldiers up in the upgrade tree and then start moving the single upper tier soldier from the higher tier squads into the fully upgraded T1 squads…if that makes sense.
