Not yet. Here is the post we refer to... So to sum up... *Reto did put few new weapons in game. Which ppl like - except US main dudes. *Ppl have been yelling back and fourth for a week. *Hades announces that the new weapons r under view/investigation...."the new machineguns are performing like the other machineguns were performing before the bipods were introduced". *Instead ppl here are sayin new LMGs dont need nerf - just slightly tweak let's say Johhny. Honestly... It looks like they added new guns just to have certain amount of ppl upset. So instead working on Terrain now - They will be working on new guns. It looks like new stuff is making bigger fire.

Nah nah nah.... Nobody on forums spammed 1919.

Oh fuk... @Trollfaktor I did not put 2 separate posts together...the one u Posted Sunday at 04:32 PM I wasn't payin attention to ur username, my bad. I just saw topic author havin a rant on HnG, while at same time ppl flocked around like HLL wud be a bad thing. And ur other post with just "Free and 30€".... I was like "is he serious". And I thought u were some random troll again. Guess I was late to party.... Anyway. What I wanted to say. There are games I play aswell. In the end I get back to HnG, since it has something. Endless circle! Deep down we hope to see fixes for Terrain etc. and I hope to see ppl back in HnG anyway.... Movin On

As a matter of fact I do get it. Free yes - Its Perfect! Yet there are ppl who SPEND money to be able to have Veteran-Membership (I think I have bought myself 2 months in total - with them deals Reto has had over the years). But you can act like YOU never knew some ppl have invested ACTUAL money in HnG. As a matter of fact - even topic author has pointed out he has invested money innit, before u posted. Not to mention every sale now is in GOLD (I personally will never gonna buy those skins/weapons/etc with gold). But I guess ppl might have stacked up whole pile of free gold with 4 coins per day... Grindig 600k credits ain't dat hard nowadays (for me) so its MOS DEF free for me. Just pointed out the other may be cheaper than 30€. you not got the point, or? Or does being FREE automatically make any other game that is not free - a bad game? You are correct. Everybody is totally able to play while not paying a single penny! (it might boost the electric bill tho, for the long hours PC will be runnin) Do make it even more philosophical - What does FREE mean?

I actually wait for it- So far I have enjoyed Red Orchestra 2. Then there is Rising Storm Vietnam. I even get good FPS in Insurgency:Sandstorm - it works fine (but the game is demanding and updates there sometimes mess up the fps too - the much reported stutters in there). Just to add...HLL is in Early access/BETA still. And I bet I can get better FPS there tho. And on plus point, it's another WWII game. Im pretty sure ppl can find steam key cheaper than dat. At least so I've heard. But yea... It's Steam who hasn't done any sales on it....It wasn't even on Summer Sale. Maybe Christmas will be. All said.... I always get back on this damn "memenator" of a game. I think I will be playin it off and on - until RB pulls the plug on Julius. // God I miss when Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was THE thing....

There You go... They did it. Less than a week...Impressive! At least this time we dragged DT and MT with us

I tell ya what we become to get used to. Defending every gun, cuz ppl on forum tell GE weapons are "OP AF". I am well aware of 1919/Johnny condition. To be fair every LMG took a beating after bipod. Problem is, u already have 3 LMGs and reto did nothing with yours I guess. Hell I dont even mind if they wud reduce recoil on Johhny (reducing dam aswell). I have even said it in this very topic. I have not compared MG13 over here - I simply dont understand how it's already OP and needs nerf? You can look in topic, I personally have not mentioned any US LMGs ....SU LMGs tho - different story. Ppl even act like MG42 is in "perfect state" - while going why we spam StG. And now add a new LMG which wud be another option to play. But...few hours after update there is a new topic, claiming a Nerf. Do you see pattern? (I guess the only pattern u see, Reto is GE biased)

Does not sound intriguing. Actually good one Do be fair. I haven't followed the META yet. goin with HeavySet and FastReload with trigger and spring only. The balls are gettin heavier with credits. Other gun dat can make money is MG42, but yea...the state it is in. That's what I have been tryin to say here aswell...for me, this topic, has been another one of those "GE got something - let's rant on it" topic. I even miss the pre-bipod MG42 nowadays....which is...just..sad I'd say dat weapon is the most nerfed one in HG history alone. But it used to be insane one aswell (not to mention, no forest to hide). This is from others topics I guess, but yea... M1/M2 - Stack it with high RPM mods only/ HeavySet+PointerQuickFire...U will get them capture points mos def. BUT on downside, u will lack good mid range. AVS - Harder to master than StG, but they both can be used in same sentence for sure mate. Drawback is mag size ofc. As I mentioned earlier...HeavySet+FastReload/Trigger (+sights/spring) - It is up there as best performing gun. StG - Performs well in close/mid that is true.....but the thing is...It can be beaten Close with smg/ M1/M2 (Hell i'd even throw AVS here), mid it can be beaten by SArifles/AVS. It isn't superior in Close or Mid. It is most versatile (I agree). But the StG does not have massive edge on Close/Mid at the same time. It is up there, but not KING in Close/Mid. So like Champi0n said: "just because the MG13 is enjoyable to use and its performing well, doesn't mean we need to nerf it". StG clearly performs well and is easier choice for most of us to use...but is the nerf necessary? Well I think SU pretty much has it already. US on other hand...

Nah not emotional...Was ranting before a lil tho (dat long post) But yea K/D has been goin up in recent years....dat is true from ur part At the moment I'm just trying to open ur eyes. Nerfin MG13 won't do nothing towards "balance". //EDIT: tbh - SU does look appealing atm guns/xp boost. Just need ppl who to play with....solo in any factions is miserable tho.

Well now... My K/D isn't something to brag about (1.2) Cuz when I started, it wasn't very welcoming place for newcomers with 4HK SA rifles. But if u can't control the recoil of AVS (in this example) and some others can. How is nerfing MG13 the solution? Better question is - How u are able to control MG13 and not AVS.... You are claiming MG13 is easier to handle...yet the difference is there and the advantage IS NOT on MG13 side (What I have experienced). I don't argue dat you can't control MG13 recoil....BUT it isn't anything dat special/OP! Do have any sort of ability to counter enemies with MG13, I have to give up Thight Grip and go for Fast Reload - You dont wanna lose Heavy Set....and if u don't have Veteran - Decisions, decisions! And for ur AVS....Try the trigger and HeavySet/FastReload combo - Practice, and u will get better if u ask me... #nerf_AVS Yet I don't DO THAT!

Forget the damn barrel. https://www.twitch.tv/mdotluik/clip/JazzySmilingFriesAMPEnergy?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time Go for trigger (sights optional/spring optional). HeavySetGold and FastReloadGold....ur welcome!

Like I said earlier in this topic. Whenever GE gets a new weapon there is a topic how OP the new thingy is. It happened with even PzB (players sayin it magically aims better than PTRD). now WmXLT added a review about last update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie1a8WJZKdU In that video alone he claims DT being the most insane gun in game atm. Correct words are..."The most OP gun I have ever used" - and I guess the sights is a personal view how to rate a gun (not to have excuse again, like with pre-bipod 1919 - "It is OP but the sights..." - I actually liked the tunnel view). And I got to say...DT is awsome! While in a week or 2 there has been multiple topics about MG13 (like this one) to nerf or something, right. But not a single one with SU "new toys". I think there is topic for MT to have a buff(?) if I understand correctly. But let me stay on topic tho... Now in that video he says MG13 is good too - while sayin' - "Who would have thought". Now this kind of mentality is what u can also see on forums. GE got something - Its OP AF - Let us flood the forum! To be honest its a bit fresh air from StG being the most OP topics (while forgettin AVS) //This part here won't be on topic tho, a bit of a rant. At this point I can't understand why I play GE in WAR anymore. I won't go to Staged ever - It aint fun - all maps u lose one line while attacking and half the resources aswell - Defending is EZ win. But yea WAR. SU has the best chances to win it - due to location, due to RTS, due to fact they have less ppl and can trigger maps they want. And on top of it all they get Bonus so it is easier to lvl. US has better locations aswell - a bit more ppl (depends on Wars tho, cuz sometimes clannies join other factions there). But... The fokin meta and hate for GE. "Nerf topic" and "GE EZ mode". Defaq is EZ mode for u guys? We clearly drown in AT queue, We have the damn overstacked towns - which will fall after certain amount of battles. Defend maps will eventually lose the morale, or even better - there will be massive pocket - most helpful for AT queue. We have most wins due to fact GE has most ppl and the fact that there r stationary ATs which force us to defend. We win most while we gain no ground - Which isn't a win! So my question is - How are the WEAPONS gettin GE those "EZ wins", when it is clearly due fact we DEFEND most of times - which have better chance to win tho. What I mean is - It is harder to attack! Everyone knows it right? Honestly... This fokin OP stuff needs to end. And it seems for years Reto has tried to look for solutions for "so called balance" while we still have FKed up terrain and FPS problems!

I actually asked on discord with buddies. "When do we excpect the nerf MG13 topics on forum?" Guess I was 4 hrs late for that question....and I haven't even tried the gun yet but i guess this topic aint that regular "bashing" atm. more like trolling one? When GE got PzB...There was actual topic how it aims better than PTRD. Forum does not disappoint when GE gets new stuff.

The Picture you took is 3 year period. And with this pic you are trying to paint a picture, where in Sept 2016 there where 6,7K ppl online avg and in August 2019 2,4K. Nothing wrong there...so far. But you act like 4,3K ppl that have been missing out on game are mostly mad cuz of tankers being underpowerd issue? Now... In Sept 2016 there was a rework for maps and it came with a release of the game. There HG got its first massive issue with FPS. I had to change my whole damn PC to be able to play this game again. I guess with the game release and new maps there were alot of curious players back then who came online...and I can remember I wasn't the only one who could not play HG due to FPS issues (not cuz of AT rambos). So in conclusion I'm pretty sure HG has lost lots of players cuz of game performance issues overall. And if u remember in 2016 AT rambos could kill tanks WAY EASIER back then, with 2 H3 mines or landmines in spawns. And this went on to October 2018 (Armor 2.0). Im pretty sure Sept2016 - Aug2019 time period isn't the timeline where u can illustrate and say Reto lost 4,3K active players who did quit cuz they weren't able to play as tanker.

So data is in help to justify that tankers are the backbone of this game being alive? https://steamcharts.com/app/227940 Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players December 2018 4,165.4 +873.4 +26.53% 8,210 November 2018 3,292.0 -459.1 -12.24% 6,121 October 2018 3,751.2 +790.2 +26.69% 7,153 So this is after the new Armor was just released. It sucked for Rambos (AT cost sky High). Tank vs Tank went for quite a long time to. If I remember correctly, it was October right? Just in case added November and December too. After those months Avg.Players has been on constant drop. I think the new tanks and maps gave some interest, to older players, and then slowly went away again. It is just my guess...Knowing some of dudes who did exactly that. Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players Last 30 Days 2,372.7 -18.0 -0.75% 4,056 So this is last 30 days and the drop has been quite constant from Oct. 2018 (the growth was in Oct - Dec). Peak players online HG has lost around 3K. The Avarage playerbase tho...1379. I just wanna drop here the glory days (for me they were even earlier than 2016) Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players October 2016 7,289.5 +621.9 +9.33% 17,434 September 2016 6,667.6 +1,166.7 +21.21% 20,882 And from a time where you could kill most tanks with 2 H3's. Didn't seem to have a effect for growth of players.... I guess its only Steam version data tho.
