@Chadwikowezy @HiebDE I'm confused.. Did you watch the video?

They are doing anything but staying on target.

My point is that talent doesn't care about hours invested. Someone can aggressively practice for 50 hours and be dogshit, while someone else can play casually for 50 hours and perform great.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Chadwikowezy @HiebDE Are you saying they should be better after 50 hours, or worse?

Talent has nothing to do with what you believe, and everything to do with the individuals capabilities.

@SteelGiant92 @AzecTheButcher @HiebDE @WARDOGS Here you go: https://t.co/7W32tWbgNk

This is Hieb. He is one of the top pilots on mnk. He's streaming now if you want to watch him go 57/3 and make like $10,000 after an entire match.

Everyone else is going negative.

He is in rockets now losing money.

Top 1% pilot.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@SteelGiant92 @AzecTheButcher @HiebDE @WARDOGS The devs just don't know how to balance the game, that's all.

The top 0.1% mnk pilots are the issue, and they've been 'balancing' the game around them.

Skill should be rewarded. Teamwork WILL remove helis from the air.

99% of combat pilots are losing money. That stinks.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Jamie0455 @TheTacticalBrit I think it's because of how obviously broken some of these things are. Makes you wonder how few people it passed by before getting thrown on live servers.

Perhaps they're overwhelmed with the success, and trying to do too much, and can't test it all. Hope we see good changes.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Jamie0455 @TheTacticalBrit The devs literally told us to give reviews, positive or negative, and speak up about things so that they can make changes to improve the game for EVERYONE.

I'm sure you would speak up too if your preferred role was nerfed to the ground. Don't fly? Don't talk.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@AzecTheButcher @HiebDE @WARDOGS You're missing the point. The point is that good pilots who have a following aren't flying anymore because it's so unbalanced. If the top pilots are not playing the game because of it, what do you think that means for everyone who isn't as skilled as the top 1%?

Think about it.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@DesertPunk1986 @GHBSmith @Brammflakes Are you forgetting what you first said to me? You told me to call a.. what was that again? Wambulance?

Just matching your energy and giving you what you gave me, so what grade does that put you in?

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@DesertPunk1986 @GHBSmith @Brammflakes Yeah, call your mom too while you're at it and tell her I'm not interested anymore and to stop calling.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

And now we have these, but on a mobile platform lol.

CZ is an instant death zone for pilots.

The Littlebird isn't exactly a glass cannon either.. so why is it so fragile?

It should take as much coordination and talent to take down a heli as it does to fly them.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Hep4aestus @TheTacticalBrit Totally agree. It takes data to make the proper changes so that everyone can enjoy themselves in some format, and people speaking their minds is one of the data points. Hopefully we will get to a point where we can all have fun.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Berthold_Skull @Looking_Mirror @ShirePropaganda You don't fly. That's only the top 1% capable of doing anything remotely close to that. Everyone else is losing money as a combat minigunner and barely getting anything done. You'd know this if you flew.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@GHBSmith @Brammflakes I've been taken out by one before I could blink. They're stupid strong, and have absolutely zero counter. A mobile CIWS that can hide anywhere.. It's nuts.

Meanwhile we can't see, it takes 12 kills to break even, everyone can kill us, and we got a massive damage nerf.

Great.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

Real talk.

👉 XP buffs for those falling behind in levels.

Example: by week 2 in season, those under level 20 (role level) should get an XP buff to catch up to everyone else's. By week 3 those under lvl 30 get a buff.

Thoughts?

ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

Season 2 was meant to be a fresh start, and for a lot of you it hasn't felt like one. We sped up progression on deliberately and tried to balance the game better, as set out in the patch notes, but it was the wrong call.

Some players are reaching end game gear like Tier 4 armour and MBTs within days, so the wipe never really landed.

Some things are clearly out of balance and we'll fix them. Others have the community split, so we want to see how those play out first.

We won't be doing a knee jerk reset this weekend, as that would be unfair on everyone already enjoying the climb. Instead, we're looking at significantly bringing forward Season 3 and some of its content, so you get a proper fresh start. More details in our dev vlog next week.

This is what Early Access is for. Thanks for playing and for the feedback.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Brammflakes Also wtf is the new AA? Literally dead in 0.2 seconds in a littlebird with zero warning. Wild that it made it past your balancing team. Starting to genuinely believe Wardogs isn't so much of a sandbox as it is a game about destroying helis 😅

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Brammflakes From a helicopter perspective: non of the devs must fly a helicopter.

Every role in the game can take out a heli. Every change made for helis needs to be reverted, and all you need to do is nerf mnk inputs so they align with HOTAS. Problem solved, then every pilot is shit 🤷

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@338wss @tricko3D @MagnumP0TUS @WARDOGS Don't forget the dirt on the windows making it impossible to see.

Dirty windows in the rain? Moving at 280kph? You're power washing the windows at those speeds but they're still dirty? 🤡 @WARDOGS

They don't know how to balance a game and it shows. Or they hate pilots 🤷

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@Dr00n @ShirePropaganda Cool. So with your logic..

Can't wait for season 3 when drivers have zero capabilities and are eliminated from the game.

What about season 4 when infantry can't purchase weapons because it's the season about vehicle combat.

Your logic isn't very logical.

[SimControls @SimControlsYT]

@LarkyMauler @Ifollowtraders1 @Brammflakes @ProLosco Just go fly combat helis for a day and report back 👍
