OKW sim city doesnt happen in the first 5 min of the game

Neither do UKF one if you plan on having more then 3 sectors through the game.

OKW sim city doesnt self repair all buildings with a simple click

But it does, you select pios with sweepers and vet2 and shift click on damaged buildings, which are being repaired in no time

OKW sim city doesnt have a brace ability that makes all attacks virtually pointless

And neither does it have any dmg modifiers making it more susceptible to anything that isn't rifle, which in result means you have no chance of bursting it down.

OKW sim city doesnt vet up to have range that covers most of some maps (motor pits)

Guess what? NEITHER DO UKF!
Brits for dummies 101:
Not a single emplacement have a single offensive vet bonus.

OKW trucks on the frontline often results in losing a truck therefore losing a tier.. no i dont think this is true for 2 of the 3 trucks, not to mention 2 of the 3 trucks do not provide offensive firepower

No one is putting OKW trucks on the front line. Emplacements placed on the frontline pop to AT guns in no time as well. Both need to be carefully placed. In addition, OKW trucks don't cost you 10+ popcap.
And DUUH! Defensive structures from definition don't provide offensive firepower

OKW can only build 1 of each building, not 2-3 motor pits, not 2 bofers and such.. i dont see any reason why an OKW player will build tier 3 (rep building) anywhere near the frontline

And if UKF builds more, then you are facing few structures that can't move, retreat or cap. What are you doing in the meanwhile? Sobbing in your base?

Just a few words

But some of the stuff really IS easy to fix; modders have done it. Or its just ignored for an indefinite amount of time. Look at something easy to fix: the Automatch map list. What is this thing sorted by? It's not by size, it's not alphabetical, it's not by anything. Pretty much anyone with even a basic level of programming experience could write a very basic do-while loop to sort first by map size (i.e. all 2's, then 2-4's, then 4's, etc.), then by alphabetical order (i.e. 2's in alphabetical order, followed by 2-4's in alphabetical order). It would only need to be done once, since it would just read the map list on startup (or on Relic's end during patch deploy). Is it very important? No. Would it be a nice QoL change that would take very, very little time to implement? Yes.

I was talking in general.
While it may see that I contradict myself somehow now, I also believe relic have no excuse for stalling long on fixes that modders repaired in no time.

Misconception: Game Development Is Easy

Here’s Armin Ibrisagic of Coffee Stain Studios, the folks behind Goat Simulator, describing a common game development misunderstanding:



This “game development is easy” myth usually goes hand-in-hand with the misconception of “lazy developers”. People who don’t work in game development don’t understand that game development is a constant compromise between good content/features, and time/resources.

Believe me, developers and designers are getting a lot of flak from players
Thing is, we KNOW THE REALITY OF BACKSTAGE, we DO care about the game, because this is what makes our families go on and our plates full.

We have very clear picture on the players and their needs, we also fully realize when they just talk out of their asses. However we can't talk back to them(in general) and rely on community managers to rely all info, community mood, playerfound issues and so on from community to us, however we do not have the freedom to give as much info as we have.

There are situations when systems are made, QA tested and greenlighted, but everything goes down the drain the moment patch goes life, because it wasn't possible to test something in massive environment of life game.

Being a game dev or designer is a lot of fun, yeah, but its also a pain in the ass at times, especially when things don't go as planned and they often do.

Even with implementing simplest of systems(by the players eyes), we have to take into account a shit ton of variables and possibilities to try and predict how the system will act, will it be good, will it not be abusable and if there is no way around it-how to diminish it to make it as fair as possible(CoH2 example would be vehicle crews).

I am not allowed to talk back at my own projects forums, but GOD I would give up my months worth of salary to punch to the face an idiot why screams how "easy and fast" stuff is to make and flames when stuff is not fixed enough.

I'm extremely patient with relic, because I know what kind of bullshit they have to deal with and since I love the game, I'll support it and the crew.

Damn.... now I really want to punch one of these entitled, self righteous pricks

Hans: Community managers

-Hans goes to check forum feedback

-Sees 100 lolcake threads

-Screams "Oh come on! Where is my luck today?"

Considering he said he's an actual game designer, he probably would sound like the best choice by default...

Imagine the rage if he actually was

If only Vancouver wasn't on another side of the planet
I could even bring a community manager with me
