Right now if the wrong river freezes you can just about give up on logi happening at any scale at all. There are so few refineries and factories and what's there are spread out or at the extreme back lines, queues are through the roof. Midway logistics on freighters with gigantic capacity are the bubble gum and baling twine holding everything together. Sever that and just loving forget it. Nobody is going to be hauling that much poo poo that far 15 crates at a time in trucks.

Only now we're sort of nodding and doing a weird hand gesture before the slaughter. Also, oh boy 250's Howitzers. The escort quest of Foxhole!

Yeah, the hub to hub logistics is where railroads would be implemented, and they're desperately needed now. 60 box crates on a flatbed is good, but that just exacerbates the missing scalability of a train system so everyone's just really feeling it.

Yeah so the weather is finely controlled by the devs. Despite having the fancy new cold weather gear teched, they've had a very light hand on the snow so far. I think they may realise that they've painted themselves into a corner by also making freighters essential. If they do introduce a big enough snowstorm to freeze rivers, they'll basically kill off whichever side is affected most. (Ie Wardens)

Big nerf to pillboxes, 66% reduction in armor means you can probably pop one with 2 HE grenades. This seems like a great change.

MREBoy posted:With the Colonials having a uniform specifically made for carrying grenades.... I strongly suspect they'll give us a uniform each, considering the  of some of them legit just being a thing on the belt or back and a different hat. Soft content padding to keep us veterans hooked.The outfit we have for that instead lets us carry more shells/pulls shells faster for artillery pieces. A good trade off for now.

Warden Specalist, It's the one with the Mortar shell tubes on the back. Mister Bates posted:the French have been waiting years for this day Sadly they must wait, It is a sole Colonial uniform for the moment. The bandolier is full of 30MM shells, nerd theory this is their artillery/support gun do better outfit but the tripod guns aren't all in the game so they holding onto their grenade one if it even exists and will do a swap around when the rest of the infantry tools part of the Summer update drops.

So just doing some defending outside Welchurch in that road, Colonial stragglers creeping out of that encircled ONE base. Hanging in a shell hole watching the peremitor, AI goes off. A Colonial soldier jumps into a series of slit trenches and we attempt to supress and grenade him out. Sadly as I was attempting to jump into the trench and full auto him with the sampo one of our own fragmentation grenades exploded at my feet knocking me down into bleed out timer. Colonial soldier was fine. He then ribbed in text chat about it being a friendly grenade, and I died seeing his lul. I respawned in the Town Hall down the road and grabbed one of our own substandard frags and returned to the scene of the crime, the dude was being chased around by a Warden soldier and was shot and shocked into bleed out state. The Warden who wounded him picked him up. 'no pls' he cried. I asked the Warden to put him down in the same slit trench he mocked my previous soldiers death, pulled and tossed the pin (sadly almost) in it. Boom, he died. Lul.

Back in Sea of Thieves SeanBean was the one who was horrified at how bloodthirsty and vicious I was, and now it appears the tables have turned; I go whole days between combat while they’re on their way to becoming WWII Rambo.

So, after converting a whole bunch of scrap to BMATs, I had some some fellow Wardens (as a Warden) block my truck, claim I was non-essential, then blow up my truck then told me to leave. Is this the norm for Wardens? I only have few hours in the game but jesus christ.

If this is shard 1 did you screenshot who the perpetrators were? Like most of the time it's either people waiting for their turn for the refinery or just messing around while they wait.

No tags, by the time I understood what was happening, I was already dead. E: Ironically, it was the one time I didn't have Shadowplay working in the background at the time.

Like not only they were huge assholes they also wasted truck in logistic zone when we are constantly out of trucks in logistical zones (while frontlines have million trucks im repoing back to logistical lines)

I love this weird as stupid game but the whole not addressing puppet STEAM accounts pissing in everyones collective cheerios seriously is the one issue I have against the development team. I know we've got a goon on that team, can you please poke them about this man? even though Network stuff is your cross to bear?

The solution is the same as with every buy-to-play MMO. If your game costs $20 to buy, you can hire a moderator for alt/bot bans at $20 an hour, and if they only ban one person per hour, they still basically pay for themselves. Either the players have to stop alting (in which case you win), or they have to buy a new account, which funds the mod who can keep banning them.

Yeah pretty much anything that requires them to add paid help isn't gonna happen. There were in-game mods (all unpaid volunteers) but because at least one went magic-wanding & teleporting poo poo a while back they all got their powers removed. So right now all the things you can do to deal with asshats are purely reactive as there is literally nobody outside the devs that can do anything in realtime in-game. Hell it took them the longest time to deactivate Steam's Family Sharing feature for the game.
