Comments
Yeh, I got my email. Now I can play again.
Can someone tell me why one should try this out?
Has there been any major change since 1.19?
-------------------------------
-DON`T GET MAD GET EVIL-
Because some people havnt played in 2 years and may want to try it out. 1.20 will have the major changes in it. For example:
- Tiger, M10, Churchill
- Contact reports
- recon missions
- geographically locked brigades
- KOTH command structure (beginings of eliminating the HCs from an "out of game" type system, so that you can join the HC in game. Also when no HC is online in a brigade, the next highest online non-HC officer will be asked if they want to assume command.
Im forgetting some, but its almost the finalization of BS&D. Also 2 rumors ive read are that the map will be filled to London, Paris, and Bonn and that there is some sort of surprise.
Yes they've finally added in para sheep - woot!
But u serious London - Paris - Bonn? That's alot of map to add
Those are the rumors I have heard floating around. I know that there was serious talk of adding more towns in England, and London is already pretty close. The towns added around the French factories in 1.19 bring the map a lot closer to Paris. As for Bonn its probably even closer to the current towns than London or Paris.
Heh, they are threatening to zero out your rank if you don't resub.
Another great marketing tactic from those swell guys at CRS.
Extortion.
Note to potential subscibers:
Look forward to having everything you worked for in game stripped from you if you decide to take a few months off and not pay CRS protection money .
Q. What do you mean, "All accounts inactive/unsubscribed for more than 90 consecutive days become eligible for rank rollback."?
A. We want to be sure that the population of any given rank in the game is not skewed by players with accounts inactive for more than 90 consecutive days. As we make changes to the rank system, it's important for us to be able to predict population and allow us to roll back ranks on accounts not used. In addition, changes to the game and in-game organizations mean no player gone for more than 90 days should be jumping back into the game and leading missions.
[b]Q. What about members of the military who get assigned to duty that can take them away for more than 90 or 180 days?
A. We always make special arrangements for individuals in our community. If you are a member of the military or have a need for special consideration, we will go out of our way to make something work for you. Contact Badger@playnet.com for details.
The reason for rank rollbacks is reasonable. Of course you wouldn't post the reasonable response by the dev team because then you'd look like some egotistical, disgruntled, and ill-informed forumer who had a grudge against the game. Hah, oh wait! Nevermind.
You wont lose the ability to use equipment so why care so much?
ARGH, why do some people feel the need to press ENTER after every freaking sentence? And why are these people almost ALWAYS negative? Blah, so annyoying. Why couldn't you form a paragraph like this....
There! Totally readable and not obnoxious at all.
Simple fact hobbit. CRS have overtly nd to roll back the rank of former subscribers who fail to resub ASAP.
These folks spent YEARS earning thier rank, to see it rolled back once already, now CRS wants to zero them out, take it ALL away.
That is extortion, plain and simple.
It's disgusting profiteering, and a blatant attempt to bootheel the very players that are the reason this game even exists today. To potential new subscibers I would say, think twice, because CRS is willing to strip all your hard worked for rank leveling on a mere hissy fit.
And
if
you don't
like
the
style
of my prose
that's just
too
frikkin
bad.
The point is that the game changes a LOT over time. You don't want an inexperienced person leading groups of people in a game that has changed so much unless they are familiar with the game. This way they have to get back up to speed or stay active enough to hopefully make smart decisions. WWII Online relies on players making decisions and those decisions tend to influence the game moreso than others. They said if you have a good reason you can e-mail them to, it is reasonable.
Nothing has changed for the last few years. I havent played in 1 year, but doing the free-trial welcome back soldier thing today, and NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
Its extortion. And I dont think im gonna play their game. Not only are they going to roll back my rank, theyre going to delete my screenname cause I havent been subscribed for a year.
What are you talking about Nerf, come on guys why do you need to make absurd statements.
*checks watch* ya I got time for this before I get to my race.
Things that have changed in the last year that every NCO or mission Leader should know so that he can effectively lead and plan his attacks with others.
Automatic Resupply time has changed from three hours. What is it now?
Attack Objectives have many aspects to them, all of them have come into play in the last year. How do you list your sides current AO's? how long does it take to clear one? How long till after an AO is placed does it take for tables to appear? How long after contesting will other Radio's appear?
Mobile Spawns are a recent addition, and since then they've had one key element of their use changed, What is it?
Fallback and Hold at All Costs have been around for a while but anyone who has not played in over a year would likely not understand their use, or the use of the Overrun command, much less the little tweaks and changes that they've recieved since introduction. And things like that can cost a side to lose a town when they shouldn't, Capture things in the wrong order or fail to defend the most important parts of the city under those conditions and you basically give the town away.
RDP has changed also in the last year, do you know how it has changed and how Bombers need to plan their attacks now to maximize their effect due to the new changes? What changes are planned for RDP which will further change how the enemy might choose to conduct their Bombing efforts?
Brigades are completely new, but what upcoming change will have an even greater effect on their use and in the planning stages of their use?
The mission system is also new, how does it differ from the old mission system? What other new addition in the last 2 patches was added to give Mission leaders more ability to pass orders to their units in the field?
The User Interface is also another new addition, what changes are upcoming in the next few patches will add another ability to mission leaders to pass intel and direct their units in the field which uses the new User Interface?
This is just a small example of some of the things which have changed, most of these are things every NCO or Leader should be aware of, there are also lots of other general gameplay changes that have occured and will occur shortly that they should also know if they don't want to cause confusion in the ranks when leading. It doesn't really matter if you know the answers to these questions, because the point I am making is that everyone in a high position should know these things, and often you only learn them through being in game for a while and hearing about them or seeing them in action, and that is why I see no problem with the Rats rolling back the ranks of old players so that they need to play the game some before they can be put in a position of authority on the battefield again.
This game changes alot, and if you've been away for an extended period of time you could have a tough time of leading or operating in the field until you get used to them. And I forsee that it is going to become even more important in the future that leaders be very aware of the mechanics of the game which they control or use to conduct their attacks or defenses.
I'd reckon what I just posted itself, not to mention that which I haven't bothered to include would suggest that alot more then "nothing" has changed in the game in the last couple of years. If you persist in making absurd statements like the one above I have no qualms about coming in here and rubbing your nose in your own ignorance on the subject.
*Golf Clap* Thanks for showing up T-Shirts at the door.
Gee how did I know you were going to answer that one point for point. Its too bad your effort was both both simple, and/or incorrect in many cases. Nice try though, but you quite obviously missed the whole point of not only what I was saying but on the use of the word Ignorant, please go look it up.
Nothing has changed, nothing at all, as far as your view is concerned, but your view is simplistic, and based mostly from a standpoint of if you don't like it, it's stupid and not worth your consideration. But that doesn't make you any more right in your position, that just makes it Ignorant imo.
Plesae go look up the word Change as well.
Resupply times have been altered = Change.
AO have been added, and altered, and had other aspects added to them which affects their use or our understanding of them = change.
Mobile Spawns no longer time out, the also have a new distance from target which they can setup, alteration = change.
And on and on it goes down the list, an incomplete list I might add. Just because you throw in the word "Tweak" here and there, and discount that which you don't care about doesn't change the fact they have been altered and will be more so in the future.
Well its been fun but I'm going to go play the game now. Ciao!
Despite the fact that they aren't just tweaks, a tweak is a change.
tweak
1. To change slightly, usually in reference to a value. Also
used synonymously with twiddle. If a program is almost
correct, rather than figure out the precise problem you might
just keep tweaking it until it works. See frobnicate and
fudge factor; also see shotgun debugging.

A tweak isnt enough to yank my hard earned rank. And if your using the High Commands as a standard for leadership, then you might as well not use a standard cause the HC are typically the worse players in the game. I've seen green tags with more common sense then these guys.
Genius.
Dang you suck bigmilk.
Oh well, that isnt working, heres Bigmilk's stats, daaaaang are they bad. http://csr.wwiionline.com/scripts/services/personas.jsp?mid=357134http://csr.wwiionline.com/scripts/services/personas.jsp?mid=357134http://csr.wwiionline.com/scripts/services/personas.jsp?mid=357134
