You could build shoguns in that time FFS.

Or apocs.

You'd have what, 1 shogun? Moreover 2 ADs pwn 1 shogun anyways, and 5 guardians + 2 ADs kill an Apoc.

Stop trying to defend the AD, it's blindingly OP and if you haven't even encountered the tactic online don't even THINK about defending it.

@Malle: Yeah, that's as Allies.

so he rly went from up to op?

I didnt fuss about AD at all, only at the topics and the angry mob.

plus my surprise is legit since there are so many old well known bugs/issues that EA hasn't bothered to fix.

So it turns out this was an unfortunate XML error in the patch, we're fully aware and are going to make every effort to fix it as soon as possible. Due to the 4th of July Holiday weekend, we are unable to acquire all the deploy resources to put a patch out this week. So it will not be fixed this week, unfortunately. Apologies for that but the timing isn't great.

This balance error is impossible for us to monitor and control as its a simple balance exploit that can be abused easily. While we can't tell everyone to please stay away from using the Assault Destroyer in such a fashion, we do politely ask that you refrain from exploiting it as such.

I will let you guys know next week what the outlook is for a hot-fix. The fix is a simple XML modification, as many of you would know, but we will need to go through all of our STEAM, MAC, etc deploy channels to get it out, which is what takes some extra time.

Apologies for this error, we'll address it as soon as possible next week.

Thanks for understanding EALA. Apoc will you adress more issues now that you guys are prepared for a hotfix. Like PK vs buildings/tanks damage reduction and bullfrog 100$ cost decrease in order to compensate for flak trooper cost increase, honourable discharge tweaking ect... Either way I'm glad to have heard a responce this fast

Thnx Apoc, we needed this fix yesterday, but since you know about it already and acknowledged, that a fix will come, it doesn't matter, i hope you get this done by at least the end of next week. Remember don't let us down.

Well darn. I guess I have to stop abusing it now

In the last 2 days of AD abuse, I haven't lost a single match where I got an AD out. So ridiculously OP.
Glad to see it's being addressed.

Good job EA! Now fix the random-players-faction-hidden change too.

I didn't say it's a bug.

I said it's a bad change, and it needs to be undone.

And on top of it if they come after you first, you will know what faction they are unless they don't scout either. lol

Just to set expectations, at this point, a hot-fix patch would ONLY include the Assault Destroyer fix as that is most critical and "game breaking". Everything else from balance opinions to "random match" opinions is all subjective and not "game breaking" and this would be deferred to our next primary patch further down the line. Please do not expect any changes in a hot-fix that are not hyper-critical game-breaking exploits.

Thanks!

ok.. do you guys realize that a AD with its secondary doesnt lose even half of its health when hit from a proton collider.. not to mention all units inside are completly safe

Well, I appreciate the expectation setting APOC.

I agree that random-faction changes aren't 'game breaking'. I just want to emphasize that they're 'fun breaking'... and I know that above all else, you want this game to be fun. Currently, I'm only auto-matching on random (like everyone else who wants to be competitive), and that means less time playing the faction that I enjoy most.

Cheers.
