#Insight on the Community

It’s disappointing to see, after the awful mismanagement of AAA businesses in the gaming sector, that game studios continue to fail in gathering such basic insight such as community suggestions. Especially in the case of games that focus on historical timelines, there are plenty of nerds who would be more than happy to provide the necessary facts to develop a good update.

This update, while welcome as we haven’t had anything major in so long, has clearly shown the community that the research done to facilitate the era you’re bringing to life is lackluster at best. There’s been many great points made, primarily being:

  1. Driel was occupied by Polish paratroopers, not even the British. It’s been widely praised that the new development team intends on representing Polish forces in HLL, but immediately undermines their efforts in the war by overlooking one of their victories.

  2. Including completely inaccurate armor in Africa. While this is not a huge deal, not including some of the most iconic tanks of the British forces during the war such as the Matilda or the Churchill is disappointing. We didn’t want to see another Sherman.

  3. The layouts of the control points and another bridge map are astonishing decisions. Remagen is widely despised and is largely absent from map rotations for a reason in most servers for the most part. While the new concept is better, there were many other great options for maps.

I think it’s a failure of the Community Manager and the management for not actively pursuing the insight of the community on what we’d like to see in the next major update of which we’ve all been dreaming for. We had plenty, but none of them were received or delivered. On top of that, the update which we now have was also not developed under the consideration or suggestion of the community. And this is all ignoring the fact that the game is still ridden with bugs and problems which we’ve all been somewhat willing to look past due to our hopes of a major update.

I had to slim this down substantially as posts are limited to 2000 characters, but I think I made my point.

Ramagen was the map HLL needed so badly they thought they'd make two.

im with ya on the tank, seems a bit lazy.

to me this game likes to pick and choose when to be Historically Accurate anyway, so alot of that stuff is probably just them grasping for anything new.

It is worth noting that the British expansion was mostly developed by Black Matter. It is possible (and implied by Wombat) that these were not T17s decisions.
If so it may be good to either acknowledge this or make tweaks to realism in the meantime.

I hope with the edition of Arnhem that they do not go for another bridge map I’m tired of fighting over that singular middle point on the bridge, rather they should do what they’ve done with map and make it smaller on one side and put the points off the bridge as well as multiple crossing points as to avoid fighting over just the bridge

The new maps were made mostly under Black Matter's tenure, the new team seems to have just finished them off to ship them while they work on what they're actually interested in, which is going from 1939-1945 on a yearly basis, and releasing content accordingly. Most of these weapons were done by Black Matter as well, it's unfair to hold T17 responsible for these choices when they were made before they took the reigns, like the unrealistic tanks.

You're complaining to the wrong people.

Driel had both poles and Brit’s fighting at that location
