LumberingTroll posted:What? Nothing in this is p2w. It can all be unlocked. Don't be douche. You are correct... I was being facetious. Everything is unlock-able with credits you can grind out. (on a side note: just ignore the recent patch with the new mammoth XP requirements and now needing to reach the rank of General to effectively play the RTS portion of the game. Don't run off to buy gold, they will likely lower the requirements down to reasonable levels again *soon*)

Mans posted:How do you change your loadout in a match? Do i seriously need to guess whether i'll need a submachine gun or a rifle before i enter a battle? You can change loadout by exiting the game and equipping the new equipment. Then, enter the battle again. You have 2 minutes though, then you cant rejoin. As of the latest patch, when you do this you need to leave the squad (if you are in a squad) to change weapons, which is annoying. A workaround might be to exit the application entirely, and it may work on restart. If it takes you a while to login again, and is too slow, you will be out of luck.

ToiletDuckie posted:I'm not sure I understand this game's credit system. Shooting down a P-38 (including kill message) and AT-mining ~5 tanks in one round is worth ~400 credits? I think I'd get more credits by literally never killing anyone and just driving to the nearest cap zone to stand in it? Point caps are best. And character hopping.

Nitrox posted:What is the deal with paratrooper corps being selected for the map, but no planes? It's usually on defense, but still. After initial deployment, paras lose the planes until they are moved back to an airfield and the General pays ~7500 warfunds for a new set of planes (that's just for the tier 1 paras). Never worth the cost to use planes more than once. Apparently this is some insurmountable glitch the full retards at reto have been unable to fix... conveniently draining funds all the while. It will be fixed in the future.

The RTS portion was a decent way to waste time, but the queue for ATs now is dumb as poo poo. It might change the outcome of a war (which has zero practical consequence) but makes the game slower... which is really unfun. e: Nitrox posted:I still don't get how we end up with nothing but the expensive troops on the field and no infantry.

It's official, the new S build sucks bunches. You can spend all night waiting to deploy your ATs in the RTS side, and we all know that sitting and waiting on a week night for 6 hours is great game design that keeps you coming back for more!

The learning curve for this game is incredible. There's people who have played for months that don't understand basic concepts of the game. I don't blame them entirely, as reto's ability to educate players is poo poo. They essentially had a contest begging users to update their extremely out-of-date wiki. On a side-note, I don't recommend spending any amount of money on the RTS part of the game... it is in flux, and rules changes can immediately nullify your purchase. I have not seen anything like that on the FPS side... yet (other than the steam bundles being a steal compared to standard prices).

Has anyone reading this thread played the game for longer than 4 months? You'll find that generally many of the "bugs"/poor design changes that seem to linger well beyond any reasonable length of time are the ones that overcharge/steal warfunds, credits or gold. But it's beta, right?

Mans posted:Does that mean this game is good but unfun bf2142 where tanks rule it all and american poo poo is better? No... Infantry kill tanks easier than other tanks can. Learning the few maps is important to doing well... Starting off in a tank will just end up with you getting killed constantly because you keep loving popping your head out to see where you are. If you don't know the maps as a pilot, you won't know the routes people take and will have a hell of a time killing peeps on the ground. Infantry first for sure.

It's hard to make WF in the RTS part of the game with anything other than guards and non-motorized infantry (tank hunting with sticky grenades). I've made WF using my light tanks, but never have paratroopers been worth the cost. I've also failed to make WF with planes, as it really relies on having very few crashes and lots of enemy tanks. Any tips here?

Nitrox posted:That's my MP40 setup now as well. Bring it will you when you go para. Don't buy the para-specific gun because it's almost 300k, can't be upgraded and won't be available to you if you go back to other classes. Worst money I've spent in game, period. Or get the Russian SMG (PPSH)... clip size is nice, but you need headshots and close (or medium close) range.

Resource posted:I ran around with a pistol as a para so I could carry grenades. I was doing it to level up the handgun badge with the Happyholidays2014 voucher thing. It went pretty well. Land somewhere unexpected, shoot all the dudes, grab the nice Thompson. Problem solved. That'll be a long road. In that case, you may wanna buy $8 worth of gold and spend some of it on sticky grenades. I have a para with stickies, normal grenades, and a pistol. I imagine leveling that sort of thing as a para for "free" will take forever (paras can't equip bazookas). If you're feeling really cheap, you can buy the ground based anti tank mines... But they take an precious extra slot and are more difficult to use than stickies.

When you switch "professions" you permanently lose current gear. For example, if you're a tanker and switch to infantry, then decide to go back to tanker, you will then need to re-purchase your tanks.

Resource posted:Wait, so now that I have para, I can't switch back and forth between infantry and para without paying each time? So I'm stuck only doing para or starting all over to make a new infantry guy? This game is constantly loving up when it comes to making me not hate it. You'll need multiple characters... that's why the guy above said to keep your infantry and start a new character for para. And yes, unless you drop gold, this game is a slog if you want to experience most of the content (different characters, tanks, both factions, the RTS side, etc).
