Doesn't get much simpler. Sorry my friend ;)

lol soon as in the mesozoic era was after the....watchamacallit era?   

The patch is soon about to enter internal testing, both balance testing on it, and bug testing.

I know that you want EF to be like an expansion to CoH and I must say that telling people than they will get an update next week and than say nothing for servel weeks is truely in the spirit of relic. However this is the part of relic that most people don't like, I will urge you not to learn from relic when it comes to keeping promises.

I dont think iv read the bit about an upate will be coming next week. You have to remember the devs work on this mod during their free time. Patching takes alot time, first you have to read alot of threads on the forums, then you need to test to see if you can recreate the problems, after all that you can then start working on fixes, with debugging and such. Then you test again all this takes time.

I dont see promises being broken. I see good news

QuoteThe patch is soon about to enter internal testing, both balance testing on it, and bug testing.

so i think the patch will Be done when its done

Like Jim said,unlike Relic we're not a company and certainly not get paid to do this so there shouldn't be any comparison nor misunderstanding of this fact.

The way this works is that people work on the mod when they have free time. Some times there will be a number of people working on it which makes us believe that its possible to finish something on a set date and we announce it.

But, people being people, will then stop unexpectedly and not finish what was needed because of personal issues (be it that they're bored, got other work, software/hardware issues etc....any number of reasons)

Complaining about it and lecturing about keeping on time blah blah blah honestly doesn't do anything.
I can appreciate where you're coming from but you have to accept the above.

We can also simply adopt the Blizzard like saying nothing more than...when its done you'll see it. No promices or comments on anything...

And we bring this prayer to a close.

*Ominous chants of choir in the back*

Aaaaaaa....meeenn...

Basically the mods couldn't have said it better.  ;)

Didn't mean to be rude or anything, but many of the thing that I have argued would be good for the mod for months should be in the next patch, I look forward to see how it turns out.
The waiting time is killing me.

hilarity guaranteed to ensue after an opener like that...

if above re internal testing etc is true then its quite possible patch 1.05 = at least 2 weeks from now :(

ah well, cant wait see the mp forums refilling!

good luck, guys

What is patch 1.05 supposed to do, add a better skin for the Russians, add vet/retreat, or do more balancing?

Rebalance of the entire Soviet Faction along with bug fixes, graphical fixes and a few reskins.

Excellent. It will be like getting an all new mod again.  Thanks for the hard work guys.

Awsome, but I would reccomend posting some news on the front page. Its been a month, and it still says "Don't worry, we will post some real news soon..."

Maybe the news is that there is no news......

Lovely EF-Team, from my point i wish that your mod becames the honor that they mod must  be earn.
I think after lots and lots play - the soviets must have a "retreat button and a "level-function". If this only able to mod if you delete one fraction, then delete it...
I`m also very dissapointed because the informationspolicies, but - on the other side, your work is a work from your freetimes..
I understand that questions as " patch? patch" you meanwhile see like a red flag in a big spanish arena, but please understand that the question say out that a great fanboys wish with the soviets to play like the other fraction..

A bit more informerspolicies, a bit less rude Post from the fanboys - and all was good..

Germane

Uhm, what?

Ahhh the trouble with google translator and the like....I've no clue what you're saying, sorry.

Plus...the patch is now....wait for it....1.10! YEY!

he said delete a faction and make that the russians so they get stats and veterancy and retreat

Wait the patch just evolved into 1.1?

Indeed...as the faction has been radically re-designed from what it was in 1.04...

And I'm playing the mod everyday?

QuoteOoh, fuck...

XD

We prefer '1.10' so it is less confusing, given earlier patches.

Make it 1.11 and it would be even less confusing  ;D

1.10 for what is done now and 1.11 after intensive testing...

haha nice  ;D

I think it's all a ruse, personally :)

Why don't you make british an 'extra' faction, and replace it
with Soviets? (So soviets can recrew at British can't?)

Temporarily, of course.

Well the Brits are centered around Emplacements....
yet they don't really have much in terms of "Mobile" emplacements(i.e. Mortars)

Is there a new patch out???

not yet, they evolved it into 1.10 sonce they changed so much in Soviets

will this patch fix the america rangers and airborne unit cap of three or was that ??? intintional

can u guys post a change log of a new patch which will b out in some time ? :)

the changelog will be posted once the patch is out as normal on the notes

There is no sense in rush things.

Don't even think about removing the cap on airborne or rangers, it's so much more enjoyable when the noobs cant spam anymore.

I think that would be changed in next patch.

ugh I hate rangers, they can take out ANY German tank in-game

That's normally why I send in 1-2 Halftracks filled with Grenadiers. And in some cases, a Puma.

The Rangers normally will target weaker targets first. As soon as the halftrack is gone, they get a facefull of bullets from LMGs and Panzerschrecks

Lol wizard, that's quite the expensive solution even if it is logical.

Rangers are pretty terrible against anything heavier than an ostwind. Kiting + facing front armour makes it so the rangers rarely hit and when they do, usually bounce off. A hint for those unaware, bazookas (unlike shreks) get massive damage bonuses when they hit the rear armour to make up for them being statistically worse. If you always face your front to rangers they rarely do any damage at all.

Personally I like the limit on airborne and rangers but I'm not a fan of limiting the callin arty to 2. Also, asking for a changelog before the release of the patch is like asking a surgeon how the operation went, while he's applying the anaesthetic...

Can the dev's confirm at this point that they are/are not removing some of the other factions from CoH in order to help with the bugs involved with the soviet faction?

We are not removing any faction in the 1.10 update. Future still has to be discussed.

The future should always be discussed and the past recognised :)

Well you missed the bloody big discussion about our future then  :-X

the max of 3 units is most harsh on airborne and if you think rangers are noobish lets not discus PE greniders and, the blitz krige storm troopes both are more powerful and do not have a cap. ;)

Seriously though guys, you gotta put up a new message on the front page.....summarizing what you've mentioned here?

It looks very bad for a website not to update even at least once a month...and very dispiriting for passersby :)

You're overlooking something though. When blobbing PGs or Stormtroopers, one or two machineguns opening up on the blob and you've basically been checked. Break suppression is not an ability that the axis units have in their inventory. Thus americans and brits can EASILY counter mass PGs or stormtroopers, with MG bunkers, .30 cal teams, Maxon Mount M3 halftracks, Bren carriers with MG upgrade, etc.

Airborne and Rangers have no such vulnerability. They can easily break suppression. En masse they can be almost impossible to counter. While it is very expensive to get such a blob up, it's even more expensive to buy the units you need to counter such blobs.

Keep the damn cap. 3 airborne or ranger squads is enough for any battlefield situation.
