[Rivals] Balance Patch needed. VOICE your support, don't let this game die!.
Rivals needs a balance patch. It has been 2 years since the last major balance patch.
This is a live service game that people invested large amounts of money in to enjoy. EA has a responsibility to ensure that people's investments are respected so that people have faith to spend more.
There are many units that have been nerfed and made unplayable throughout the game's lifespan. Below is a proposal to make many units interesting again, most of the changes are targeted buffs that try to make units more useful and have defined roles, while stripping away problems that make them oppressive.
A large issue is that many units are simply unaffordable. Many of these changes are designed to increase the speed of the game by making units cheaper and ultimately the game more enjoyable.
Itemized list detailing purpose and scope of changes: (29 net buffs, 3 uncertain, 8 net nerfs)
Code changes required, easy to follow and implement (estimated time 30 minutes):
Rivals is a great game, however it has grown stale. It needs periodic updates to remain interesting. There needs to be a team that is willing to make changes every so often to ensure the game is appealing. There are many in the community who would do this for free, but even one more patch that makes units playable would be incredible. Even if you do not agree with some of the changes, please voice your support! so people continue to have things to look forward to and that this great game does not die.
I've uninstalled CNC Rivals but will come back as soon as a balance patch is done. 2 years of no patches is just too long. I imagine others feel the same.
Thanks for the communication and fixing the crash bugs. Regards. I will update this post if a patch ever comes out; but until then the game is stale.
