Game Patches & Updates

1.31 Thanksgiving Production Update
Today marks a milestone in the development of 1.31. of the six hundred plus tickets we've had through the development cycle, one third of them are closed and another third are in the QA cycle, ready for testing. This leaves about a third of the known issues to complete but several of them are minor issues that don't really count. In other words, the end is near.

1.31 - More Than Just Eyecandy (New Feature Revealed!)

I like eye candy. It makes it easier to sink yourself into a game and for a few hours, transport you to a different place and time. Graphics, sounds and special effects are major contributors towards that "suspension of reality" feeling you get from good games. We have long been criticized for neglecting the look of the game in favour of mechanics and so, here comes v1.31 and now there are rumblings that this is nothing but a "lipstick" pass on WWII Online. New buildings, new trees, ragdoll effects, weather & rain... it's all just eye candy, isn't it? Nope.

Vehicles and Weapons of WWIIOL - A WIKI Primer
Written by DOC   
Thursday, 12 November 2009 11:06

Battleground Europe has many WWII combat vehicles and weapons that all have unique abilities and performance.  Sometimes players don't fully understand these unique attributes, leaving them with often inaccurate expectations of how they will fare in battle if it's assumed that everything performs based on being equal. In fact, every weapon performs relative to each other based on how they are different, and not how they are similar.

Tuesday, 24 November 2009

A question from primernr in The Hangar today: "Noticed in Doc's reply to another question that he mentioned radio and oxygen tank componets that are modeled to take damage. Is there any consequences currently for those items being damaged or destroyed?"
