Yeah, this is some kind of work-around patch to get GLOPS working again, no idea why there's a timer on it. GLOPS isn't ending that any of us have been told about, this is just another weird side-effect.

Fair! And likely! Just one of those communication things that makes you facepalm a bit. Lol

Wish we got that kind of info, instead of having to hunt it down from a Russian blog. XD

Fair, although it brings into question how much fairy gold they're reaching for with the higher prices, compared to how much they could make by lowering them. That would definitely be a matter for statistics and analysis. Specifically, they can ask $200+ for a tank package all they want, but if nobody or only one person buys it, compared to say, making it $50 and selling it to 30% of all players... Of course, the flipside being that those players will no longer be interested in buying that item, but if they weren't going to pay that price anyway, there was no purpose in having it and no income from the bundle regardless of how nice it looked. A lot of the "we can't sell it for that price!" comes from real life economics that have a per-unit manufacturing cost, not a fixed-price-cost for effectively infinite units of an item to sell. I'm certainly not saying that it'd be smart to just spam out every vehicle they can for ten bucks, but there's an old adage about "you sell more Chevys than Cadillacs." Lately, we've had a *lot* of Cadillacs.

Damn. Not surprised at all, but for just a little bit I was hopeful. xD

Definitely makes me concerned about the tanks that have weakspots anywhere on the front. MBT brawling could get *really* painful, really fast in anything that doesn't have flawless frontal armor.

Like everyone on the same server will have to pay the same prices... damn. Cool!

Yeah, I rolled a 7 that I grabbed for the same reason, but then rolled a 5 and shrugged. Same with the other three crates right now, I'll buy 'em if they're worth $3, or they can just sit there if not. I won't buy trash to clear a crate.

Yeah, that sounds about accurate. Bot missiles have pretty much always just ignored smoke straight up as far as missile guidance goes. This new thing just for some reason lets them keep shooting at you regardless of eye status, if you have ANY kind of spotting, you're under fire. And for some reason, the smoke doesn't seem to necessarily break their view. SOMETIMES it does, sometimes it doesn't.

Man, that sounds a lot like how I got here, gaming-wise! Falcon 4, and F4 Allied Force were some of the most amazing games I've ever played. Still want MW5, just waiting for it to come off of EGS exclusive. Welcome to the forum, and AW in general, man!

Welcome to gambling crates. Sometimes they roll good... Sometimes they don't. I'd suggest not buying that, obviously. I picked up a tier 7 duplicate for gold value, seen a lot of 9s and even a few 10s drop out of these. They're kinda weighted to 5-7, it seems.

Yeah, save it up! And if you get something *really* amazing, save your replay as well, just to be sure! Trust me, save that replay!

One that involved less enormous loads of hallucinogens? XD

Heya, welcome! Join us for the memes! XD

Yes, there will be Battle Paths and Raids. They are not the same thing. :) And I believe so, yes, although keep in mind that you get the Type at the end of the main string, not the side missions.

Those thousand-coin packs are for the *next* battle path, not this one.

It's probably the best gun TD tier-for-tier in the game. Which really doesn't say a lot, but it's at least fun to play I think!

That does work That does work just about perfectly for it. XD

The PTS wasn't really much help, mostly because it never had anything like the number of users the main server does. It'll occasionally be used, but for the most part it gave no useful data.

Yeah, especially since we all know the BP will have issues of its own that will have to be ironed out, and stacking those on top of the existing major ones would be really a bad idea.

I don't even have an appropriate emoji for this one... Should probably find one, though.

Personally, I'm *entirely* in favor of fixing the humongous existing problems here from the last patch, particularly the stuff that won't let a Steam user even log in, before adding even *more* potential complications to the issue.

I believe that's more or less the intent, to sort the mess from the recent patch before launch. Have to see how it goes.

And BP postponed, thankfully.

The problem being that you have no control over your team-mates actions in Randoms, nor over the matchmaking. And when you get a set of vehicles that is totally unsuitable for the map, or a bunch of useless team-mates, it's not *fun*. Working your butt off to try and carry a crap team, then losing anyway sucks. In terms of PLATOON play, Tiger Claw was just fine - You can actually make sure you brought a couple heavy MBTs for cap-2. You can make sure you give them the time to get into position before you trigger that first cap that's basically a booby trap to lose with a rando team that grabs it (completely without warning from the game that you might need to be somewhere else in just a few seconds) before your MBTs can get in to protect the second cap. And sometimes literally being *blocked out* of the final cap by the number of corpses you've generated trying to defend it, then losing because you can't even get *to* the Bradley that's buried in wrecks in there was no fun what-so-ever. I'm not against maps that make you think, I would just contend that they don't belong in randoms, where you have no control over your team composition or actions. Those missions are not fun at all, because it's basically a roll of the dice if you win or lose, before the mission even starts.
