The patch where SW use is limited under the bubble has fundamentally changed the game. If you wish to offer that as an option for another world and leave the present worlds as they were it would meet most preferences.I do not think it appropriate to make such fundamental changes for a world in play.

Also the supports are tied to the bubble timer not the fact that you have bubbles....I popped early and could not set supports on myself....is that meant to be that way???? If so why what is the reason???? I popped my support bases then my main ...still could not put supports on my bases but could put them on others???

Hmm - I don't know but I will bring this to the attention of the developers on Monday.

When you start a world and have set rules for that world its like signing a contract with the players who have the right to play on that world or not based on those set rules. I am one of those who do not like FA attack servers so i don't play there. The information provided allowed me to make that choice. Changing the rules without consultation with the players, after the fact, takes away those choices is kinda like a breach of contract in my mind. Leave things alone on set servers. It screws things up for the players.This is not how to please your clients, this is total crap when developers decide what they think is best, without putting the client first.We pay your bills, remember that!!!! Its really important for you to not piss off the hand that feeds you.

I am getting continued complaints from members of my team in Tib 26 about this rule change. Players are not happy about the support weapon changes at all guys like base swap but still I consider this also as a Arbitrary rule change, and even though I do like base swap I would rather not have it at the cost of support weapons. I am sure once the PVPers work it out they are the one who spend the most money here you will have more complaints.

since this change i have seen a drop off of players on some worlds where wars had been going on, it seems to be a biassed change. and has affected the game play quite a lot in a war situation and not for the good.

this is ment to be a war game and a surprise attack is a great part of any war situation and being able to protect such a base/ acct doing this is now totally lost and to me the game is suffering now more than ever.
i started playing when W63 was still quite new, so i have seen the changes in the game over the last few years and understood the reasons for past changes to the game , but with this change i am a bit stumped

could someone please explain the reasons for the change to the support wpns and how it is ment to improve the game or why it was done , as most of us here still are in the dark as to the purpose of this change and what problem/ issue it was ment to solve.

a proper and good explanation is in order please

cheers HH

Personally I think this is bullshit and I don't like it at all. It screws up game play completely, we are being attacked by a larger Alliance we have held off for ages using our supports and now it has decimated us so as the CIC I asked everyone to to complain. Once my funds are spent I will be done on all Worlds. The World rules should never change and I can only see it driving people, hard core players lake myself away. If a World was setup like this I would never play it. Opinion in one word RUBBISH!

At least there is a new forum „manager“ -> great?

Not sure why you think there is a new forum manager. EA_arcadia is in charge of all forums and that is why the announcement was in that ID. EA_Roger is still involved and is still the community manager for this part of the EA forum site, but day to day it is the moderators who do things such as 'enforce' the rules of the forum or point people in the direction of solutions to their issues with the game.
