While its fine that you personally disagree with where CRS is taking the game - quite a few people seem to like the direction its going. To say the game is broke is a pretty vast over-statement and misleading. It runs fine and works the way its suppose to for the most part. Broke would mean it continually fails to perform as expected - which it doesn't.
We all know the front had to be condensed to keep the fights fair during off-peak hours and the best way to do it is to limit the towns that could be attacked.
Now someone has to make the call as to what towns those are - and CRS felt the players could do a better job of it than they could. So that's what they implemented.
There is/was nothing stopping anyone who wants to make those kinds of decisions from joining a HC and getting those command powers.
Please don't ruin it for the rest of us who want to see more players join and participate in the command and battle structure.
The game is growing and it will only get better - remember, how things operate now is not necessarily how things will operate in the future. Tables of Equipment and supply structure for the brigades is not finished yet - and when it is, there will be more changes to the ways AOs operate.

I never sad it's broke. "mekanicly" this game works fine. It's the system that's broke or badly damaged. Ipersonaly, haven't felt the need of bitchin about lag for instance.
We all know the front had to be condensed to keep the fights fair during off-peak hours and the best way to do it is to limit the towns that could be attacked.
When that change came they removed "the element of suprise-option". What is a war without that?
Now someone has to make the call as to what towns those are - and CRS felt the players could do a better job of it than they could. So that's what they implemented.
But it's not the players it's HC-players! HC are seldom picked by other players, it's rather the HC-person that have picked him self. I got big issues with this! This is handcloves that destroys the spirit of the game (1.15)
There is/was nothing stopping anyone who wants to make those kinds of decisions from joining a HC and getting those command powers.
Even with HC-squadmates by my side the HC- powertripp slows the game to a crawl and spontanious alliances in the feild were no more. As single player and brigadier general i could no more take charge of my own operations/attacks.
Please don't ruin it for the rest of us who want to see more players join and participate in the command and battle structure.
I hear you, but my deed is to help the game with a opposit approch. Can i help the 1.19 patch in it's selfdestruction the sooner the game will be repeared. I wan't back to this game, belive it or not. I do what i belive is the best for the game, what i belive will get all my gamepals back, what will give this game it's soul back.
The game is growing and it will only get better - remember, how things operate now is not necessarily how things will operate in the future. Tables of Equipment and supply structure for the brigades is not finished yet - and when it is, there will be more changes to the ways AOs operate.
I do not agree with the game growing as you know, but i agree that changes how this game operates is eminent. The rats in their arrogans will never bow to what i and hundreds of other players have sad time and time again. They will find a way that keeps their faces. But this time they are in deep and it needs a lot of pushin.
The nicest line i can say about this game in this present time is:
It started out as a wonderful game, then it turned to shit, i belive it will rise again but it will take some time.

Originally posted by GeneralDoli I doubt that, Pn. Do you have any EVIDENCE? I'm not going to believe you if you don't have any evidence.
Ha ha...guess what. I don't care. I'm just presenting the information to those who want to know who this user really is and why he keeps posting against the game. I'm not going to believe you either strange anonymous poster who thinks that all germans are nazis. You need to go reread your history books and learn some more about why people fought and who fought in WWII.
WWII Online is NOT about nazis vs "the good guys".
No, but the people we fought against in WWII WERE nazis. If you serve the nazis, you ARE a nazi. CITIZENS in Germany were most likley NOT nazis, but FOR SURE members of the military at least -pretended- to be nazis.
Jesus, I never said all Germans were nazis. YOU need to re-read my post and stop making rash statements.
No one's going to believe you if you don't back up your arguments or statements with facts. "Deus Ex is WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN TEH FUTURE!111". I wouldn't believe that. Would you? Well, that's essentially what you're saying, although, it is less radical.

The vast majority of the German Army were not Nazis. True, they swore a loyalty to Hitler, but they were not actually Nazis. Many werent members of the party. The majority of those that were party members were much like someone would join the Democratic or Republican party in the USA. The people you should bring issue with are the SS nut jobs. Those were hard-core Nazis that most of the regular army didnt like.
The people the Allies fought against in WWII were people. They were not driven by the ideology of the Nazis. The German troops were just fighting for the guy next to them and to get home. Most of them were drafted, just like the US military. To say that "FOR SURE" the members of the military were actual Nazis/pretend Nazis is ignorant. If youd like to know more Id suggest a book called Frontsoldaten by Stephen Fritz. There are actually a few others, but that one is an easy read.
As to the civilian populace, they most likely were Nazi party members. But again, most Americans are Democrats or Republicans. They had no part in the evils of the party. To say they were party members without a qualifier is an irresponsible use of language.
In short, you are seriously over simplifying the common Germans situation in WWII.
I'm over simplifying it on purpose, because this is a MMORPG board, not a historical debate board. Although, I admit, this is a rather cheap cop-out, but it is the only one I got!
When I say pretend nazis, I don't mean they were actual members of the party. I'm saying that they WORKED for nazis, served nazis, and assisted nazis. You're twisting things that WHILE TRUE do not present the big idea. And other words (oh, look. There's some other words.) I'm saying that the big picture, the main problem, the actual conflict was against the nazis. The soldiers were merely pawns in the nazi's plans. But tell me, if an allied soldier walked up to a german one and said, "Oh, hey. Why're we fighting?" and the German one said, "Oh, because our leaders said so. I'm not a nazi, though. I'm just a friendly german!" his officer would shoot him before the allied soldier did. Nuff' said.

Man you are paranoid! There may be people that do what you say but don't mix me with such. BTW If you'r so brainwashed by the cheerleaderclub that you think only one person dislike 1.19 i got news for you kid!
There are more many many more!
Ok, now i get it!
PnHobbit, Mnemeth, Demarii and Sparre are all the same desperat cheerleader beliving he's pointless methods are used by he's opponents.
I'm SirEvil and i only used one alias and that is in WWIIOL. My alias is Evil66 for those who wanna know. This alias i used to be able to play freely when the first brigade-implements came.
The psyco-system forced me to assume a alias!
-To reveal who uses aliases (if that's so intressting) in this forum is pretty easy, just read their level of desperation and writingstyle!
My hottest tip right now is the hobbitkid!

It has nothing to do with the forum, you're oversimplification is INSULTING to the men and women that died fighting to protect their familys and to serve their country no matter what side they were on.
Originally posted by Sirevil What the hell is a troll!?
A troll is someone who hates a game and posts half truths/lies/biased opinions about it ad nauseam. Spouting their aged rhetoric in any thread they happen to come across that praises/dismisses said game.
Damn, go away for a few days and suddenly I'm cerpas and Sireval.
It must make the fanbois happy to think there is only one player unhappy with the game:)
I hope that CRS can claw themselves out of a hole with the release of Battleground Europe, but initial signs are not positive.
They needed 1,000 pre-orders to get extra advertising/marketing support from Tri-Synergy. Now 1,000 pre-orders ain't a lot, particularly when you consider that this is to be a new release in both the US and in Europe.
But they haven't made the magical 1,000 mark, and with a week until the pressing of the Gold master things are looking particularly grim. So suddenly CRS are back on the PS forums, talking to the players and treating them almost like human beings.
I've never noticed CRS not listening to people. Hence all the chats and teamspeak convo's that the rats held over the past year. Just the people who never paid attention to all of that are now pissed it seems. I knew exactly how the game was going to be about a year ago. I like it this way.
Ah, not technically one. I just group all people without an ounce of common sense or decency into one blob. You bashers are the minority and you troll smaller forums like this because you can't stand to see the game doing well despite your grudge for the developers. All you want is some place to piss and moan because it makes you feel special. You can't even complain on the official forums because you've hardly ever played the game you know soooo much about that you can troll every forum out there with your lies.

You missed your calling Hobbit, you would have done well for yourself in Germany in 1938.

Who are you trying to convince Hobbit? As for "you've hardly ever played the game", I'm amazed at your perceptiveness .... you have no idea who I am, but you somehow can psychically determine just how long I've played the game, how often I play the game, and even my motivations when I say the game is currently going downhill.
You're really special
I have no beef with CRS, other than the fact that they have promised much over the past few years, and delivered little. They can thank people like you that they've been able to get away with that for the last 4 years.
Originally posted by hazmats I've never noticed CRS not listening to people. I and the masses noticed 1.16! We noticed at 1.17! We noticed at 1.18! We noticed at 1.19! We are towards 1.20 and them bastages at CRS still dont listen!

learn to end your quotes please.
If not listening means hosting Teamspeak and IRC chats countless times to ask questions and give feedback. Perhaps you missed all the squad summits to enhance squad play?
All these things CRS does, but i'm sure you don't bother looking at the forums and seeing when they do all these things. I've talked/listening to badger, a RAT, talk about the game at least a dozen times.
I think it is more people choose not to listen, and blame it on the RATS.
I think the real problem with some people is they get it in their heads that they know how everything should go, how it would work better, and such from a perspective of ignorance, they ignore the budget, they ignore the development teams size and skills in various elements, they ignore cross-related tasks and features, they even ignore other elements of the game for want of features or additions made to another.
When the Rats come to these sorts of people and answer their questions, they aren't really answering anything in those peoples minds because quite simply the answers they recieve aren't to their liking so they call it, BS, Bias, Propaganda, Lies etc.
These same people then feel justified in making BS statements, or arguements based of their limited view of the game and claim it to be the truth. Well truth is relative and their understanding of the realities of this game and its development, much less their ability to convey their understanding, as limited as it is needs alot of work. But I think first it needs alot of thought, and I'm not sure any of said individuals could critical think themselves out of an open paper bag.
Well rats are poor in the aspect of answering questions. Mostly they are telling their own story to any question. Who doesnt remember the lebelion. Besides some few everyone was revolting against that new rifle with the blocked sight.
It was so easy for them to fix that issue but their total arrogance prevented them.
Most players know by now that asking questions with a hope of things may change is pointless!
One cant speak to such arrogance and expect something to come out of it.
