EA Staff (Retired)Well I'm currently sitting at the top of the leaderboard and have some balance opinions so here we go..
GDI desperately needs an infantry based counter to infantry to help deal with cyborgs, snipers might be the answer here but they come far too late in the tech tree.
Zone troopers currently feel like the needed answer in GDI mirror matches to the sandstorm, which is fine, except that they're an epic level unit, I'm sitting at 3522 points and have yet to unlock them, so I'm basically only playing nod outside of silly air rushes and the daily missions. Given how the current matchup goes I'd have GDI either get them automatically like nod gets the cyborg or lower them to rare at least so you have a good chance of getting them sometime before say, you give up on gdi, make it to the top of the leaderboard, and still don't have them :P
On the subject of GDI, I've been playing the air game there a bunch lately and the Hammerhead is basically worthless, the talon is already an excellent counter to air and more versatile, I don't know the solution to this since really its more a lack of the need for the role than a balance problem.
Scarabs are awesome, but probably a touch too strong given the cooldown on building units, at least until you get high enough up to get things with 2 range, and even then they can control a lot of the early game. Perhaps if they only had one suicidal shot rather than getting to kill two different things, alternatively removing their ability to hit and/or outright kill most air units that they aren't suppose to counter would provide a nice earlier tier way to deal with them.
Matchmaking is... not ideal. This is likely a low player number thing, but really if I'm playing at 2367 in nod I probably shouldn't be getting paired against 100-400 players who really don't have the tools necessary to fight me.
Otherwise, really enjoying the gameplay, but very concerned about how microtransactions will affect this game though because you simply can not answer some things without unlocking units and unit unlocks are completely random to the point that spending a bunch of money is the only way you can guarentee you'll get the units you need. I think for me to play this long term I'd need to either start with a mix of units that can deal with anything while unlocked increase tactical variety but don't give you nearly uncounterable answers, or you'd have to be able to spend coins to unlock units directly if you wanted to, the shop is a great for this, but it is slow to rotate and won't always have things that are relevant to you, I see little reason you couldn't make all units purchasable for coin at all times and just have the shop around to give rotating discounts. I'm also slightly worried about unit levels, but nobody has high enough unit level differences yet to know how much of an effect that has so I'll reserve judgement for now.
First off ggs, definitely deserve to be number one.
Second, everything that JadeXyan says is completely and utterly accurate. Although, after seeing orcas used properly I think they need some tweaking as well
Lastly, I believe there should be an option in battle to sacrifice a unit or something with a cooldown. This could be used to prevent the instant harvester harrass or possibly if you're in a heated fight and need more units. The units take forever to refresh when you have a full army and you're sitting on a 1 hp rifleman and simply lose because your opponent's units were destroyed first...thusly allowing them to have full hp units that join the fray and take the missile.
Not following allbtis discussion about sandstorm. I do not have sandstorm even though i am level 4 on that faction. Now, i just started nod, and am unable to upgrade my units. I am using level 1 inantry while my opponents are at 3 or higher. What gives?
I laugh how many of you have not even mentioned the fact matches are not n the slightest fair or competitive. I believe this is because most of you played before recent patches and are at higher levels and don’t see this BS.
Im level 14 account, and I’m being put against people who have level 50 unlocks. How is that fair? It’s painfully obviouse a tactic to swindle more into packs. Why am I not being matched with similar levels (slight deviation for challenge)
this have left me feeling bogged down on the game. I still have the original Red Alert, Command and Conquer, counterstrike, aftermath and love going back to them. It reminds me of the potential.
ya the lower matches need to be player lvl not medal count bc someone who stopped playing a while ago and starts back up will have high lvls but not the medals is really unfair to new players
Alright so then i have a suggestion since we don't want people to get to far lose all the time hate the game and ditch it then create a NON-MEDAL Mode. for people who are wasting time and don't want to lose their medals. I quit Clash of Clans because takes to long to progress and not control over what troops do. Ioved C&C red alert and when i seen Rivals I thought oh sweet but now with issues theres no point i wanna just get on battle. Yes progressing and getting levels is awesome but if there was just a battle mode non medal mode would be a nice time wasting fun
Yea basically what im talking about is you already cant get more credits and they lower down the amount of experience points so do the same with medals after X number of games medal win or loss is reduced or no medals won or lost this way A: if no medals won or lost can play for the fun of it thats what we are here for B: reduced medals so it would be very hard to get do different league and make it not fun.
Or yes make a non medal mode
