I've been playing blue team every single game since I bought the game when it released. My fucking wallpaper on my computer is a screenshot of "Lonestar wins!"

It seriously makes me want to stop playing. I don't even mind the other changes, but this shit is unforgivable.

EDIT: The people who don't get it are probably the same people that change to whichever team is winning, or check the score before they even choose a team.

Just FYI.

Since cash will be scarce from now on. And delivering pallets doesn't pay shit anymore. Forget streaks, you will consistently lose Urals.

I'm Korean, but not all Asians are the same. Please stop treating us all the same. The problem right now is the cheaters from that country you are thinking of. As an Asian myself, I simply can't play on the Asian server anymore. That's why I keep ending up on the North American server. At least on the North American server, the players actually communicate with one another.

Piggybacking a bit off of a post I saw here not too long ago, I want to highlight some things that happened recently and seem to be consistent across the experience of both myself and my wife, both cisgendered females with voices that match that description.

Talking in the Wardogs VC in game is a toss up where the coin lands on the shitty side 90% of the time. The 10% where people are cool or joke around with us is great, but that hasn't been the major experience for us. Last night we came to the conclusion that neither of us should be heard over open mic anymore because it fundamentally ruins the gameplay after my wife has had two matches in as many days where she's been stalked, verbally harassed, and griefed by both TEAMMATES and enemy team members alike.

I've had teammates try to destroy my Ural after they heard my voice in game, or try to crash me with their own vehicles while I'm just trying to chill and do logi stuff. I've had my body camped and been targeted by enemy players, had my body dragged away by another teammate so my friends couldn't revive me while he hurled "suck my d*ck bitch" at me the whole time.

Last night and the day before, my wife had both enemy players and an entire squad of her own teammates stalk, harrass, team kill, and verbally abuse her for an entire match all because she had the audacity to speak in the game VC. In one instance the person only fucked off because another man began to yell at him for being a terrible person.

I'm not saying this to discourage any female players, but please be aware that the harassment still occurs and that, even in virtual spaces, you still need to be careful.

To the Wardogs community as a whole: do better and speak up when you see or hear this behavior. The only way it stops is by men holding other men accountable.

Wouldnt this solve the entire faction drama? They could even rotate the spawn points across the teams each map so people won't choose a team just for it's spawn

Genuine question for the devs regarding the ping cap.

I live in Australia and my brothers and friends live in America. The only reason why I play video games is so we can play together, catch up and have fun together. While I absolutely love Wardogs, I love catching up with my brothers and friends more. This ping cap will prevent us from playing together on Wardogs.

So my question is will you accept refunds to those of us that are in a situation like this? You advertised this game as being for the every man or for dad gamers who just want to unwind with friends.

Now because of the ping cap I, and many others, cannot do that. I’m not saying this cause I’m throwing a temper tantrum, we just genuinely won’t play if we can’t play together. Thank you, and I hope the real problem (cheaters) is fixed soon down the road!

should not be able to level this fast

fyi, if you bought 30 gold at the absolute lowest, it would have been 5mil 3 weeks in.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm on Reddit. I know exactly what kind of people hang around here.

But seriously, you guys complain SO MUCH about every single mechanic and new feature, and most of you probably don't even have the game knowledge or skill to a point where any of this stuff would actually affect you in a meaningful way.

At some point, you should either learn to enjoy the game for what it is or just stop playing altogether. Not every change is the end of the world, and not every new mechanic deserves a 20-paragraph rant.

At some point, you need to ask yourselves whether you actually enjoy playing this game or whether you just enjoy complaining about it on Reddit.

Because all this constant whining accomplishes absolutely nothing. It doesn't make you better at the game, it doesn't magically improve the mechanics, and it certainly doesn't make this subreddit any less miserable to read.

Just play the damn game, have some fun, and stop acting like every little change is a personal attack against you.

Why the fuck wouldn't you just auto-assign players to teams at the start of the game? WTF did you think adding bonuses to 1 team was going to do?

Just auto assign players AT MATCH START and then allow team swapping after a couple minutes if you need it

10 servers in a row I can't choose the team I want, I can only get the leftover team.

Nobody wants to join Red so servers take ages to fill.

Delete the stupid xp/cash bonus message.

I finally get a filled server and the enemy rolls up in a tank and camps the fob from the start of the match. I get blown up. I switch teams because progression is apparently a joke and this team cannot play the video game anymore, and the enemy did the same thing, camps the fob with a tank.

Well played devs.

I've played blue since the beta and haven't changed once I didnt feel like we lost that much but we didnt have some special players for sure. But what kinda good stuff was the dev team smoking when they gave blue team a "buff". Blue team has issues with map layout more than needing these chuds cloggin up our team.

Reverse this change asap was a terrible decision let us loser or win how we want.

I've been kind of a diehard Bulkhead supporter since day one but this has kind of broken my trust.

Thinking that putting a cash and XP bonus in blue would be a fix is naive and foolish.

We all know now, and many of us already knew, that this would not be a solution. In fact, this just recreated the problem for a different team. Moreover, this has made the problem worse. Now, you actually get a buff for it.

Randomize team assignments and disable team switching. Max group size for official servers should be 4.

I don't know how you drop the ball this hard. The solution to this problem is painfully obvious.

Now that we're about wrapped up with season 1 I think the devs need to re-evaluate limited skins and how they are earned. First, why are we being so stingy? I would love to see the player percentages that have actually earned the AK skin. I'm guessing like 1-2% of players unlocked it it. I'll admit, I'm butthurt. I put in 200 hours, focusing somewhat on the cash grinding but also having fun with friends and buying some stupid unlocks. It's pretty wild that I ended up at only 22/30 gold bars.

Basing it on the current economy model feels terrible. It rewarded people who got lucky and bought heavy at the cheapest gold point (good for them), used kinda cheesy farming methods like IRV pre-removal or drill spamming and the like (good for them), or were unemployed (good for them?).

Frankly, I think they should remove time limited skins all together, but if they must, I think it would be a lot better to tie the skins to some seasonal wardog level or some seasonal goal. Even better if that goal is actually related to the skin being unlocked. Anyways, I still had a blast. I'm still pumped for the wipe. Thanks for coming to my soapbox!

People are freaking out for no reason over this.

I was not making most of my money from dropping off pallets. I was making it from supplied assists and turning in those pallets. People are acting like the only way logis make money is dropping off pallets but that's like.. 20% of my money.

If you provide ammo for an active mortar fob that's getting kills and destructions, you're making $375 per each of those. Yes. $375 for destroying a hesco.

If the streak mechanic, which is meant to be a punishment if you DONT do round trips, was added without lowering the delivery bonuses, everyone would just play logi cause it'd be making IR spotter money.

I support this change, it's a good one. Trust the process. Also do ALL the math.

There is maybe 1 bow player per server so like 1% of the player base max and even that is pushing it.

The bow has a spray pattern like The guns do. Its noticeable after 200m. but who is using the bow after 200m anyways.

its already largely ineffective against t3/t4.

visibility is already awful.

it has the slowest projectile speed.

shot speed is already the slowest thing in the game.

you’re already outgunned (pun intended)

for all the trade offs it already has.. why does it need more a more aggressive projectile drop off especially when there is absolutely no way to compensate for other than vibes.. bow has no attachments or augmentations to account for another handicap. while everything else in the game does.

Like seriously, it's not even been 24 hours and I'm in my first game seeing guys with the new Spear, rocket heli with 50+ kills and even fucking tanks.
What's the point of wiping if tryhards already have the latest stuff ? I don't even have access to a RPG or anything, not even amor nor a scope and I'm against guys full kitted out already DAY FUCKING ONE.

Wipe was supposed to bring back the nice new early game feeling, well it didn't even last a day LOL.
Seriously, I prefered season 1 with T3 + Galil against people with T4 and FAL/BMR rather than this shit where you have nothing at all and you're already against mid/lategame stuff day one.
Season 1, it took at least a FULL WEEK before people started showing up with Galils, about 2 weeks before tryhards had the M4. Now, I'm sure we'll see that in less than 4 days...

EDIT:

What they could do is quite simple:

The 1st percentile of players (sweats) are the basis. Let's say they take up top 10% of players
- 2nd percentile (20%) get a 30% bonus on XP/ (maybe not gold?) while in that percentile
- 3rd percentile (30%) get 70%
- 4rth percentile (25%) gets 100%
- 5th percentile (last 15%) gets 150%

That way, sweats are always leading and ahead but people can reasonably actually catch up to them. So by the time they have a mid tier gun, people are going to catch up quickly. Same when they get late game stuff. And because it doesn't impede the sweats, they won't get pissed.

That way the game can actually have a slower progression than this joke right now and have some sense of early/mid/lategame after a few weeks and not just a matter of 1-2 days.

What's the point of even playing any other team besides blue? Not being able to join blue instantly feels shitty.

as a logi player your telling me when i join a game i cant see if someone even has a base or not and you want me to waste $10k to find out?

i understand doing this to the map if i CHANGE teams, but dont do this shit if im just joining a game, this is garbage, only do this if someone changes teams

Let me start by saying I love wardogs, the devs are a breath of fresh air, the gameplay was new and exciting, the community (for the most part) has been pretty fun to be apart of. That being said, holy shit, the amount of whining from the community over helicopters and how “overpowered” they are, that ultimately just made them get nerfed to the basement is insane to me. We’ll see how this season plays out, but coming from last season being level 189 (pilot 45) I can say I will genuinely not touch a helicopter now unless it’s to taxi myself and ditch it. There’s no point, becoming profitable this season with helicopters will be genuinely the most impressive thing in this game now, and that’s a nice way of putting it to be honest, because you’ll genuinely have to have either the craziest game of your life mixed with the opposing teams not attempting to counter you, or just cheat at the game to ever profit in the combative helicopters lol. There’s nothing that gets under my skin more than some dipshit that has NEVER gotten into the seat of one of the combative helicopters and hear them say “blah blah blah I’m glad they got nerfed they were overpowered”. There are so many counters to a helicopter that it’s impressive people somehow made it sound like a helicopter was a problem for them. MAAWS, manpad, CWIS, trees, infantry arms, other helis, .50 cal, etc. and you’d have to get 10+ kills in a single life to BREAK. EVEN. Lmao, it’s just funny to me that these nerfs were a so overcompensated, as if infantry only servers didn’t exist… anyway, game is still a masterpiece, I was more or less using this as a vent and to hear what others think about these nerfs, and the new season as a whole. I’ll just have to use this season to try something else out lol, maybe go use the new AA vehicle as an infantry killer, and see if they deem that one as a problem too and nerf it to bring my flying capabilities back XD

Seen tanks in 2 separate games already in the first hour I got on this morning. GL if you got a job.

hunt showdown did this, pubg went through this, all textbook examples of how not to implement certain restrictions.

either you put your foot down and keep the lobbies fair, or you outright state you're ok with the current lobby composition.

you wanna be greedy and appease both sides? maybe not the best idea.

I tried all of them with various attachments in the firing range since the update, and the only one semi usable is the SVD, the rest are a joke.

The new M14 is of course missing the modernized furniture so you can only put a bipod on it, and hiring it from the shoulder is awful, worse climb than the stock SVD.

Meanwhile, ARs are full laser beams. SAW is still unusable without bipod.

Lol, lmao even.
