That new thread smell. Also the devs are aware of how these lopsided resource spawns have made the last two wars a bit of a boring one-sided mess and have mentioned working on fixes for how they're distributed.

It has helped make specific cities worth pushing towards either to take or at least disrupt so it's at least an interesting mechanic. The components in particular being weighted more heavily to the backline should help smooth out the big problems with the system.

taters posted:I speculate Wardens wrapped this one up so quick by several of the "neutral" clans stacking Warden this war. The numbers seemed about 3 to 2 Warden advantage most of the war. Hopefully the next one is more even and we can at least get light tanks. While this was a big factor it also didn't help that Wardens started with Tempest Island and its manufacturing hub which is significantly easier to defend and use than Oarbreakers'.

Add in some pretty flagrant cheating with alts to steal things and some chinese fly hackers nuking things with satchels and people have just shrugged until the next war.

MREBoy posted:War over ! next one starting ???? Also devs effectively turned off the Resistance phase this go around by deciding to not let anyone build caches. Apparently someone caching 1,020 boxes of stuff (supposedly including 100 crates of satchels) last go around kinda broke things this war in their opinion. Caches have had a snowballing effect for a while now. Also didn't help there were almost three times as many wardens as colonials which is why queues were getting into the hour(s) range. More importantly and disturbingly is that the severe problem of warden nazi/nazi-adjacent groups is starting to boil over Here and also on the discord while the devs and mods have been completely silent.

eonwe posted:and honestly, both sides have dogshit regressive dumbfucks. the last time I played on colonial there was a guy singing about his child bride, columbine, etc and everyone thought he was hilarious While there are definitely a bunch of regressive shits it has become a self-reinforcing cycle that it's much more likely for someone to be yelled out of colonial chat for being an explicit nazi which just leads to them joining wardens in the next war and staying there. This is something that has been going on for well over a year. Definitely a next step after removing them would be trying to stamp out the racism/sexism but that's unfortunately not nearly as controversial as either implicit or explicit support of nazism/neo-nazism among the average (game) population.

MREBoy posted:New (& currently highly disliked) system that affects upgrade parts. Depending on factors the value of 1 part can deviate from the long time 1:1 ratio, can vary anywhere from 0.8 to 1.4:1 now. This one in particular is a big killer and hopefully to be reverted eventually. Besides that the devs still haven't figured out that constantly adding in new systems without actually stopping to balance any of the old ones isn't particularly good for the game. That combined with logistics burnout due to their(devs) complete refusal to accept that long slow drives across boring maps isn't good game design is already depressing the population again from its update hype by ~1/3. There is the glimmer of a good game in there but it's covered in poo poo.

Hezzy posted:I knew they had some sort of German soldier vibe going on but didn't figure it was Nazi related? They seem more to be fans of Warhammer than jackboots Some of their members, along with WN, formed the 'Warden SS' as a 'joke' back when All chat was still a thing where they would happily do 'Heil Callahan' (lore person), 'joke' about gassing certain peoples, and leave blueprint swastikas. Pretty nazi-like, imo. Though, again, 82dk is massive and a lot of their members likely don't quite realize that no it's not a joke.

Hezzy posted:So a handful of people from two of the largest clans in the game made a dumb teenage edgelord joke and therefore the rest of the clan are also Nazis? Is that what you're saying? There was a public outcry. Especially once they went full bore hard racism against the chinese players joining the game. You couldn't go an hour without seeing one of those fucks whining about them in the most vile ways possible. This is, incidentally, why they removed all chat. Yes, not all members of those two clans are involved directly in the overt nazism. Many of them are just normal rear end racists who are a-okay with the nazi parts existing. And some are new players who haven't played enough to see the really ugly parts when they poke out - the aforementioned racism against the chinese was especially good at getting people to reveal themselves. You're free to continue playing with these groups if you want though I would personally suggest joining literally anyone else. KirbyKhan posted:What the gently caress are nukes. I've never really stuck around in a war long enough to see those. Also signs a p cool I like em. Calling them nukes isn't really accurate as they're a missile structure you build at a predefined location - Great March, Farranac Coast, Reaching Trail this war - that is a one-use long range weapon that makes any structure it hits within an 80m radius removed from the match. If it hits a victory point town it lowers the required captures to win by 1. To actually launch the missile you require 10 people in the region which it's built and a spotter within ~120m (binoc range) to grab coordinate codes for the missile to hit which are then given to the missile operators to enter. Then a 10 minute countdown starts in which the spotter needs to stay in the same location and not die. A warning is issued to all players in game giving the coordinates of where the missile is going to strike when the timer starts but not the location of the spotter. If the spotter survives the 10 minutes the missile is launched and the affected structures turn red to indicate their removal from play. Usually manufacturing towns are targeted. The engines for them are the very last tech in the game so they're meant as game enders. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jul 31, 2020 |

New medics who don't realize their kits always appear even when you can't see their player model are always A+ for glaunching. Bodies piling up one after another. In update news next war is going to be absolute hell for logi with the removal of gunnests and the devs incessant push to make trenches actually used on the frontlines despite them being absolute garbage for that job.

Let me guess you're right at the border edge. Because there's an ancient, rare bug for when you cross the border it will fling you in a random direction if there's another vehicle that even partially clips/blocks your spawn in. It usually only happens on the small waterways as there's less approved spots to spawn but narrow land passages sometimes have it happen as well. This same bug can still sort-of be exploited with APCs all clipping their loading door into a vehicle simultaneously and launching any vehicle into orbit*. Used to be easier under the old system but you can still get some decent loft. Clipping bug also works on individual players which is how you can fling them across the map at warp speed if you set it up right.

RMats are hilariously easy to come by after sledgehammers come out compared to E/HEmats. I play with a group of ~8 and pooling E/HEmats is really the only way to effectively max MPF order satchels/shells which cuts off 50% cost. The timers are pretty brutal for Emats especially. If you're going to be doing group logi you'll want to share refineries and make sure everyone always has Emats cooking then whenever you have enough for a full MPF order have one person do it for that discount. Once harvesters come out rush out one to then feed the rest of the group some and you can then produce whatever you want after you reach critical mass of ~4 people. Basically have 48hours worth of EMats cooking in every refinery at all times.

The big massive secret to 1v1 infantry combat is just to strafe. The immediate reaction of many new players is just to immediately crouch and try aiming at you so just run around them and punch them to death. Against groups of players behind sandbags or whatever just come at them from a 90 degree angle of the front and watch as most of them don't even look in your direction until half of them are dead from being stabbed.

So with new goons about here's a tip: Avoid the queues at fronts by spawning in one region back that doesn't have a queue then walk to the border and cross. Border crossers get immediate priority over home base spawners and immediate access to a limited border queue if there's multiple doing the border thing. Once you cross over immediately return to home and spawn at any base in the region you border crossed to as you now have a saved spot. You're welcome.

Change grenades to gas and move it just behind rifles and you're pretty much there. BMats is also high up there. Masks aren't terribly useful unless you're using a heavy weapon/vehicle or defending a safe house.

SeanBeansShako posted:Think your rank or the other players rank actually means something in the game. I'd modify this very slightly and say that looking for a person's level, instead of rank, can actually be important sometimes. Unlike ranks which are just popularity contests / clan circle-jerks levels require putting actual time and effort into the game. And the amount needed increases massively after level ~15 so if you see someone at, say, 17-18 you can assume thousand+ hours, and by the time you see 20+ assume 3-4thousand. A much better indicator.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:One pubbie who said he flipped sides said that colonial was a lot more organized feeling but also way more tryhard. I haven’t really encountered rank pullers except in global chat. In the Before DaysTM when there was only a few hundred active players at peak it wasn't uncommon for the vast majority of wardens to be in a handful of large clans and for colonials to be far more chaotic. Nowadays, with the more new players, it's very mish mashy and the large clans have lost their power.

Getting run over, and running people over is just a part of the game. Especially once larger combat vehicles come out - new players instinctively want to stand behind them which just ends with lots of squished infantry. It doesn't help that the sound is humorous and satisfying

Proper (3+ person) tanker gear: Driver & Spotter: Hammer, Mask, Binos, Radio, ~60bmats and the rest of the slots filters. Gunner: Hammer, Mask, Radio, Fuel (or bmats if close to fuel), and the rest filters Gunner should never ever get out in combat situations or near the front and should instead be ready to jump seats to driver if the driver & spotter somehow die while repairing. There. You're an official tank crew. And seriously never skimp on filters.
