Thanks for the answers!

When I said artillery I really meant anti tank guns.  My mistake.

 

As for brigade spawing, I think I get it now.  Each "brigade" gets a certain amount of units:  infantry, tanks, planes, etc.  Those are then assigned to a town? by the High command?  A brigade and player run kampfe groups do not affect each other?

Those resources are then used when people choose to fight in that town/field base regardless of what player organizations they are in?

 

 

 


Let's say the axis have 20 army brigades, 6 air brigades.

Each brigade has a set supply list. An army brigade has various infantry, tanks, and guns all in different quantities. These units are attritioned as they are spawned and lost. A unit that has been lost takes about six hours to resupply itself at that brigade.

Each brigade is connected to a town, from which players can spawn using that brigades equipment at all the town's facilities and at things linked to those facilities.

The whole brigade can be moved from one town to another, either advancing or falling back, but this takes a few hours.

If the brigade is cut off from a link to it's HQ (by taking all the town links around where it's stationed), then it's routed and is gone for something like 12 hours before it can be redeployed.

 

The High Command of each side is responsible for moving these brigades.

But the High Command has no control over what brigades individual players choose to spawn at, or what equipment they choose to spawn.

Ok, that makes sense and sounds like a lot of fun (and HC drama LOL)

Interesting... how do you know it's not fun at the moment?

 

At the Moment:  Meaning in its current state.  So you've apparently played since its latest  release?  If so, why?  I thought you hated this game?  If you do, why do you continue to sign up every now and then.  Just to see if it got any better?  Then you must be interested in playing the game if you sign up every now and then.  If you are interested then why continue to be banned on these forums, and then sign up with a different name to continue to post negative comments?

Or maybe you must have X-Men Super powers and you just know just be reading the latest patch notes that it's not fun at the moment?

Or do you know it's not fun at the moment because you have lots of close friends who play and they tell you it's not fun at the moment?  Then it's hearsay and your statement holds as much water as granny in the tub.

You've mistaken me for beatbox.

I was never banned on this forum or WW2OL forum, nor my post were even edited. Also i don't hate the game.

Not fun ATM, means not fun for me at this present moment. It is fun for thousands of other people. So please stop creating a strawman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

 

Edit: Why i keep resubbing? That was actually a very good question.  I was asking it myself lately.

1. I like sims and wargames. And WW2OL is good in that department.

2. I like teambased PvP. Again it's good in that department.

3. I'am a powergamer, so i sually get burn out pretty fast in "casual" MMOs. So when i bored i resub to WW2OL.

So what is bad you may ask? Drastic changes in gamemechanics which gives unfair advantage to one side.

As developers don't have time and money to balance and test the changes thoroughly they usually balance and adjust them on live servers.

It's like swings. Allies are the "underdog", change of the game - Axis is the "underdog". So if you ride the swing in right direction, game is fun. Other way around - not so.

It is "WWII Online: Battleground Europe", not Battlefield. All players around the world is on the same server.

No one knows the total online and for the next few days they are split between the game and beta server. Since it iis free for 2 weeks why not give it a try anyway and see if you have fun. You wil find big enough fights.

No real way to tell you that.  I will tell you that a while ago there was a single battle that involved ~400 people at Roermond.  If you go to kfsone.wordpress.com you can find videos for it by searching for Roermond.

 

Right now though, it seems like the server's kind of bare.  Currently we're running an open beta for 1.28 so our population is split between the beta server and the live server.

Yes, I know I mispelled Shiner Bock. Don't blame me, blame society.

Hi,

I have question about PC specs...

I have:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2.2 Ghz)

2 GB 800Mhz DDR2 Ram

Geforce 8600GT 256 MB

1 Mbit DSL

Is it enough to run at a decent fps without lag?

thx in advance

Manohun

That sounds like an ok machine. In the lower end but not bad.

It depends what you will do in-game if you will lag or not. If you fly on the deck over a town with a decent fight might you lag. However, if you are on the ground as an tank or infantry in the said city will you proberbly not lag.

And this if you don't have turned on everthing, because then will you definitely lag.

The experienced players have turned off as much as possible. Effects will slow you down, and it is a bloody war out there. So keep your head down and listen to the sergeant or any other experience soldier and you will be ok sport.

 

Btw, the open beta is awesome. Sure, it has a number of issues yet, which the Rats has repeated several times since release; it isn't baked yet. But it will r0xx0r when it has gone through the beta-process.
