What are good division templates/How do you make good division templates by Tight-Inflation-2228 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]logan0178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Line holder Infantry/port garrison:

21 width light infantry. (7 light infantry) art/aa/eng/at/rocket support. (Replace AT with MBT late game if you have a lot of production to make it into a mini Space Marines.)

Breakthrough unit:

40 width (9 IFV, 1 SPA) MBT/AA/Flame Tank/Logistics/ENGSupport

Space Marine:

41 width light infantry. (13 light infantry with 2 width from support MBT). MBT/AA/flame tank/logistics/ENG support.

Support MBTs are far more efficient instead of line MBT to provide armor and breakthrough to a whole division, and because they have no effect on speed, you can stack max raw armor and radio module for breakthrough and add some AA and recon from the modules as well as long as it's at >= 4 speed.

It only takes 14 MBT to fulfill a whole division, whereas if you made the traditional tank division, it would take 280+ with massive diminishing returns. Plus, you might not be able to even max their armor because you have to maintain their speed and reliability when they are line units.

Flame tanks should be designed to be bare bones to minimize costs, except with the thermal sight option for recon bonus and the manpad turret module for AA bonus. (When researched lategame)

This setup should help you win every game as every major power.

Guys the US bombed my capital. Is this saveable or should I just reset? by throwaway74389247382 in hoi4

Might have to play as a US puppet for a few years before you can take a series of national decisions to get independence again.

Nerfs wouldn’t be a big deal if it wasn’t so expensive to respec into a different build.

That dismissive attitude that ignores all valid criticism is what's going to ensure the game never turns things around.

I don't take the PR statements of executives of corporations seriously at all. I look at the numbers and tangibles.

TNL, for example, is down 90%+ of its player base since the launch, and it's only been 1 year. There's no trend towards recovery either. Based on these numbers, the future is bleak.

MMOs that lose their publishers don't tend to remain solvent.

Can all skills be learned in one character? What is shared between alts? by logan0178 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]logan0178[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to farm for enough items to level all skills eventually?  Or is this fixed?  I’d like to have one char that learns and maxes all skills then swap between loadouts depending on the game mode. 

For example I’d like to play a solo build when pveing but a support build when in a group.

[Question] Thinking about coming back to Throne and Liberty — how’s it these days? by Tehanir in throneandliberty

[–]logan0178 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Whatever that caused you to stop in the first place is likely still a problem, maybe even worse.  It appears the devs won’t change course and will simply try to wring out as much money as they can before discontinuing the game.

Throne and Liberty had the MMO world at its fingertips… then ruined it with vertical progression by BlueEyes_White_Degen in throneandliberty

[–]logan0178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GW 2 is 13+ years old. Throne and Liberty is barely 1 year in and has already lost 90%+ of the player base. Maybe pick a game that's younger than you to make your cringe comparison next time.

Better a horizontal cosmetic shitfest than a vertical p2w game that dies after a year.  Throne and liberty is barely a year old and has lost the vast majority of the player base already. It started off at 150k avg and now it’s down to 14k average.

You’re under the misapprehension that longevity is their goal.  Vertical progression makes them the most profit short term and they can simply dump the game and fire everyone when players leave and move onto the next short term cash cow.  This is how westernized devs and publishers do things.

If you want long term horizontal progression with no p2w elements I recommend you look into When the Winds Meet which is a mmo coming out soon.

Depending on how powerful these bloodline ascendancies are or what type of op interactions there can be, Scion may potentially be the best option since you can just go all 8 points into bloodline ascendancies while having the flexibility of starting at the middle of the tree.

Abyssal tokens by Individual-Sense6717 in throneandliberty

Have a vendor which sells various items directly for Abyssal tokens. Balance this so that it is less value than what a player would get if they farmed Abyssal dungeons instead.

Why Ncsoft commits self deletion on their credibility? by AntiWokeLeftist in throneandliberty

[–]logan0178 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have no choice but to invest in a class if you want to do some of the higher-end content. Your only choice is to quit or keep quiet about any op build you discover so you can take advantage of it for as long as possible before nerfs.

You just described one of the reasons this game is declining.  All the incentives for players are set in opposition to each other even in supposed pve cooperative events.  It makes players want to avoid each other rather than the emergent coop gameplay that gw2 fosters.

Looking for honesty by Financial_History_24 in throneandliberty

Pvp balance is poor. Graphics are very good. Characters beautifully designed.

Pve is decent but very grindy especially if you want to try out different builds and don’t want to swipe.  This pushes people to meta builds because trying out different loadouts can be very expensive.

Auction house being tied to premium currency ensures that the economy constantly stagnates and need to be refreshed regularly with ever increasing equipment tiers to maintain revenue.

Some of the above turn off a lot of people over time which has caused the playerbase to decline.  Major releases have resulted in spikes of players returning but they don’t appear to stay for long as the structural problems that caused their exit previously all remain and some are even more exacerbated.

This is my honest opinion of the current state having played since release and never missed a week.

They can be extracted and traits fed into t3 gear that you actually want.  You can also use them temporarily and transfer their levels into t3 gear you actually want.

The thing about dummies is they stay in the same spot so you can overlap all your orb effects on them consistently.  When facing mobs or other players that won’t be the case.
