Game Mechanics
1. Command Center does not send Bombers (Attrition Mode, Albion Map, North Side).
This bug has been successfully fixed! We expect the fix to be released in one of the nearest patches.
✓ Fixed!
2. Calibration: too many negative rolls in a row.
The probability of 5 consecutive unsuccessful calibrations is less than 1%, the probability of 10 consecutive unsuccessful calibrations is less than 0.001%. Still, we have reports on the flaws of the system - like having a succession of negative rolls. The team plans to investigate the issue to see if there any problems with the algorithms or on the server side. So I kindly request you if you come across the situation when you've got over 10 negative rolls in a row, please, remember the time it happens and send me a message with the issue stating the problem (Calibration failure or smth like this will be enough) and the time of the incident. We would greatly appreciate it as your feedback will help us to collect the data needed.
3. New equipment and upgrade system - how and why?
From the point of view of the Game Designers the system is basically identical to the previous one and performs the same tasks, but it gives more opportunities for the player in the specialization of his aircraft.
The system of slots typification (when the equipment for the engine can be put only in the slot type of the engine) against the old system, when any equipment can be put in any slot - if you conditionally think about returning the old system, then in a situation where we have 4-5 slots for equipment on airplanes, we will have to introduce additional restrictions so that there won't appear the unbalanced-strong builds of planes. Please pay attention to the fact that such restrictions existed before, when certain types of equipment could not be equipped on some types of aircraft. The new system, among other things, allows us to add more different types of equipment. This is a great potential and a reserve for future builds. In addition, the new system, unlike the old one, is expandable, and allows us to make new configurations for existing aircraft that will have different slot configurations for equipment, thus giving us the opportunity to bring new planes with unique characteristics into the game.
As for the restrictions for consumables is concerned, Emergency Medical Kit and Fire Extinguisher both were equipped by the 80% of players in every single battle, that in fact meant that:
- the players had no choice what kind of consumables to take - it was necessary to equip only those;
- the use of different ammunition was meaningless, as the effects of the ammunition was offset by the fact that everyone had the two constant consumables that treated crits and fires.
In the new system, in fact, the player needs to think about what to choose, and there is a choice. Moreover, the ammunition now is not meaningless and it is possible to use your advantages in combat and think more how to behave according to the consumables you equipped.
Therefore, we do not consider the new system to be a nerf, but rather an extension and an opportunity for development.
4. Why the materials drop and Specialist missions depend on winning?
The concepts based on the analysis of players' feedback, which are being reviewed and processed at the moment, are as follows:
- Removing the dependence on victory in Specialist missions. It should make the obtaining of Specialist configuration easier and more affordable;
- Reducing the cost of skipping Specialist configuration missions for tokens if there is actual progress on this mission (the more progress - the lower the cost in the tokens);
- Gaining materials in non-victorious battles by players who show outstanding results in such a battle (for example, gain 10,000 combat points or the like), i. e. not just giving out materials for a lost battle but rewarding the players who played for the victory, but for some reason (whether it is an unsuccessful coordination of the team, or a small number of real players in the team), the battle was lost.
These ideas are adopted and processed, though at the moment we are not ready to say when exactly these changes will appear in the game.
