    o.k. i know in all this; this maybe a small issue?  but the Deena shredder fix say's nothing about what will be fixed?  when all's said and done will Deena still not be able too hit air targets with shredder? if not; in my eye's that makes Deena less then hailstorm and no long a hero unit. and shredder which was too be the thing that made her a hero a waste. she just becomes a cyclone with some extra health. :(
    After this week's release, you'll be able to use the Shredder to hit air again.

    I like the idea's,expect the sector reductions,say there's about 300 sector left after the update,and in 1 of those 300 sectors ur friends are only in that sector or team,and that sector gets filled up,now u got to go to one of those other 299 sectors left where you are by yourself and u got to stay there and get hit til u can jump to a different sector where u could be hit also.

    What good is this to me when Kixeye won't even acknowledge that I have spent $60 on the game and refuses to the support platform saying I have not spent $50 on the game. I have the receipts and currently am working towards refund if Kixeye continues to deny me service. Just so you know-you can buy a second starter kit but you will not get the E-titan which should be compensated with a different but equally powerful weapon.

    Commanders,

    The excitement of the War Commander team is at an all-time high!  For quite some time now we’ve been working hard on some major features and improvements to the world of War Commander... and we’re finally ready to lift the curtain.  Without further ado, let’s dive right into the new features and improvements coming your way!

    OPERATION: ROACH EXTERMINATION

    Late last year we began a massive initiative to reduce cheating in War Commander.  We’ve gradually been chipping away at these cheats one at a time, and, by the end of this month, you’ll see yet another major loophole closed: Repair Cheating!

    Here’s a list of some of the roach behavior we’ve eradicated in since we’ve started this initiative:

    • Bullseye and Missile Spammers

    • Oversized Platoons

    • Free Unit Unlocks

    • Free Unit Upgrades

    • Free Building and Turret Unlocks

    • Free Building and Turret Upgrades

    • Repair Cheating (within the next few weeks)

    ALLIANCE RAIDS

    When we first shipped Alliances last year, we regret that we didn’t really give you too much to do as an Alliance.  With Alliance Raids, we seek to correct this problem.

    Sick and tired of having your home sector invaded by the Hellhounds, Corpus, or the Eastern Horde?  Now you and your Alliance can return the favor!  Collect faction Intel on the world map by striking Intel bases.  Then spend that Intel to activate a Raid.  In a Raid, you can send a predefined number of your platoons to strike at your enemies in their own home Sectors.  While having a powerful army matters, having allies matters just as much!  Work together to defeat your enemies for great rewards!

    ALLIANCE WAR EFFORTS

    Raiding enemy sectors earns precious Supplies.  Supplies can then be spent to activate War Efforts.  There are three War Efforts that you can activate (and all three can be active simultaneously).  One boosts your units, one boosts your turrets, and the last boosts your resource collection.  Though War Efforts only remain active for a limited time, every member of your Alliance fully benefits from them when they are active.  A coordinated Alliance can use War Efforts gain huge benefits during Events, a major advantage while at war with other Alliances, or additional Thorium looted from your enemies while preparing for future battles!

    RETURN OF WAVE EVENTS

    We know you guys have been asking for this one and we aim to deliver big time!  With our very next event we’ll be returning to an improved version of the Wave System!  Now, you’ll have three tracks to conquer: Attack, Defense, and Master.  Right from the start of the Event, you’ll be able to participate in both the Attack and Defense Tracks, each of which offers its own loot.  Progress far enough in both the Attack and Defense Tracks, and you’ll unlock missions in the Master Track.  Though Master Track Missions are far fewer in number, they are especially challenging and offer great rewards.

    You can Reset your Event progress at any time, if you want to replay for more goodies, but you’ll only have a limited number of Resets, so make sure you use them wisely!

    PvP OVERHAUL

    Hold onto your hats, folks, after the conclusion of PvP Preseason 2, there will be a glorious overhaul of our PvP systems.  With Repairs fully secured, the test of skill will be real.  You’ll see vastly improved Leaderboards, broken up into multiple divisions, and tons of rewards.  People reset within their divisions monthly and get payouts depending on how high they climbed on the Leaderboard.  Of course, as many of you have said, without lower Repair Times, PvP would have a tough time getting off the ground, even with all these also improvements.  Well, prepare to be shocked: we’ve heard you!

    Not only did we recently reduce Repair Times across the board by 35%, but we’re going to introduce a new type of Platoon in the Platoon Manager dedicated to PvP.  If you choose to put your units in a PvP Platoon instead of a standard Platoon, you can only use them to hit other players, but they will have significantly reduced Repair Times (on top of the previous reduction)!

    SECTOR OPTIMIZATION

    While there are a ton of you out there, it’s undeniable that some players start the game and it just doesn’t connect with them.  These players would start up the game, get through the tutorial, and it just wasn’t what they were expecting.  Unfortunately, this meant sectors would fill up with these bases, causing us to need more Sectors, and ultimately a massive inflation of the number of Sectors we needed.

    Over the past few months, we began an active process of culling bases that belonged to these  players who didn’t stick with the game and, as a result, this exposed the fact that we have many, many more sectors than we need.  So, we’ll be reducing the total number of available Sectors, so that we can better optimize sector performance and balance the ratio of player to non-player bases.  You can expect advance notice on this as we get close to the date so that everyone has time to adjust.

    STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

    It goes without saying that we can do better on this front.  Fortunately, we’re going to be dedicating additional resources to both solving critical bugs and improving performance in the coming months.  Much of this is be made possible by the conclusion of some of these other major initiatives.  We want to make sure that War Commander can be enjoyed by everyone and we are planning to make some real progress on this front soon!

    WRONGTHINKER THINKS

    I clearly remember when we decided to actually tackle some of the long term issues with War Commander late last fall and started the journey to make War Commander better than it had ever been (as I boldly declared way back in the first WrongThinker Thinks).  I’m not going to say the road has always been perfectly smooth (it hasn’t been), but we’re nearly to that point.  Everything listed above will be arriving in just the next few months, and some of them in the next few weeks!  These aren’t pipe-dreams, these are about to be the reality:

    • Securing Unit Repairs

    • Alliance Raids and War Efforts

    • PvP Overhauls

    • Event Rework

    • Sector, Stability, and Performance Optimizations

    We’ll be delving into most of these topics in greater detail in the coming weeks.  We greatly look forward to your feedback and hope you share in our excitement.

    Until next time, Commanders, this is WrongThinker signing off!

    -WT

    P.S. Alliance Raids and War Efforts will be coming to the Preview Servers very soon.  That’s right: Preview Servers!  We are going to be using Preview Servers again, so be on the look-out on the forums for your opportunity to check out Raids, War Efforts, and more before everyone else!

    P.P.S.  Deena’s Shredder tactic will be fixed this week.
    You guys really need to put a little more effort into the people using gold hacks, etc, because I've already found at least ONE video on Youtube of a guy using said hacks to get all the new units and max them out with unlimited gold.  And its a very RECENT hack because I saw him add the ELITE LEGION!!!!

    Don't think we aren't mindful and thankful for what we see here, but I'm sure everyone agrees some building upgrade times should also be shortened also. I think most of us would rather that than some stuff here.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the good updates you made to the game. Hope with these changes some of the hackers will get banned soon. But the major issue is with the gold hackers that they hack from face book. Check the spending of them and try to match it with their credit card purchasing  and also try to restrict the gold purchasing thru Kixeye site.You will see lot of hackers reduced drastically and the war commander will be back to its glory again. Else this game dies soon with these gold hackers.

    Thanks,
    Commander

    one issue with that almost everyone buys gold from FB not here because here you cant keep track of the reciet showing you paided for something if you dont get it and need to send in a ticket FB you can keep a screen shot showing you have paid for something and can remove payment info at any time in case you click on the buy gold button by mistake so no you need to think about that one more

    Hi WT.... 
    you say you stopped overcap? and what about workshophack? check out the 2 screenshots (for the privacy of the players posted without names) .. .
    the part about alliances i hardly undertand will read it again tomorrow, maybe then i will understand
    Then my issues lot of tickets takes ages to be handled sometimes even then nothing happend
    Then a lot of players couldn`t build missiles, mech and other things for weeks.
    Very silent it was fixed.. thnks for that but it took quit long ... needed to play an event without missiles, after that a war without missiles, no player is ever compensated for that.
    You mentioned repairtimes but a reduction of 35% is nothing, everybodies favorit toon, inferno growler, legion and jericho or sf has a repairtime of 1 1/2 day to 2 days ... do you still think that when we are online, we only bubble one base a day? thats done in 6 minutes or less, you think we want to log off for 2 days til its repaired before playing again? 
    That point alone already shows that you guys at kixeye office don`t have a clue how people play this game and what we want and need.



    That Over Capacity could be from buying the Starter Pack, and from the Armory glitch that purged all the Units in the Armory back into your Storage.

    How about fixing up the new workshop so that you can reduce the level of a component as easy as you can raise it!
    Why would you ever want to reduce a level of a component? 
    This is especially important for Commando fire, as you don't want your Commands to all fire at the same time. One Commando could have Compressed Magazine 6, one could have lv1, one could have lv3, etc.

    So instead of you removing a players base who has been banned your gonna just reduce the amount of sectors you have and pile us up on top of banned players bases in sectors. Why are these players bases not just removed from the game and sector as soon as they are banned???. Why even advertise them as banned when know one really cares. This is why sectors do not have room in them.

    Why has this took years to figure out away to fix it??? I personally could careless about what you do to the game. It will never be fun and exciting like it was years ago no matter what you do to it now. To many years have passed with to many things being ignored or not fixed. You have sectors that are locked now regardless if it is full or not. Well they do not lock them selves you lock them. So what is the point. 

    Your statement says I’m not going to say the road has always been perfectly smooth (it hasn’t been), but we’re nearly to that point. No Sir you are years behind no where near a point. But if you want all to except that statement please know all will not. You cant change years with just a few months. I guess know one understands this except some players. Its the same princibel as giving you feed back what good does it do. Thank You
    Because we like seeing the trophy, the picture of a banned base in our Sector. Good job everyone!

    Since events are in the process of changing I was wondering if Kixeye had any plans or discussions, to allow players to purchase weapons such as the "Omega Titan"  rather than gathering 80 parts during a 3-4 month span? And if players want to gather 80 parts thats fine too but I'd rather just buy the **** thing and get it over with.

    Lmao half of this might be true but you bet your **** they won't fix all hacks. They do that all these giant clans in giant wars with their few legit players who coin to keep up would go back to sitting in their home sectors playing farmville.

    The games shot to ****, you come out with all this crap and don't once mention your **** servers that barely cope with the game.

    I've been getting error 2021 since the event, all you did was blame the influx of players on during the event. So why has it carried on?

    What about permanent loading and DC? I suppose it's all the players fault not your cheap shoddy equipment.

    Fix the game or f off it's that simple. You're a poor excuse for a games developer. You make EA look like God's ffs

    Wc has been on life support for a very long time, the once great and popular stragey game has been turned into a jumbled mess with no clear upgrade path and hard earned units given away to low lvls, the times required for achieving anthing make wc a career choice not a game and no matter what new must have unit you manage to finaly get kix will nerf it and offer another piece of rubbish for you to waste all your time getting.

    Wc much more resembles a coined video arcade game nothing like the great strategy game it started out as, good luck kix because with your latest game change plan i think you will only need one sector as there wont be enough players left for two.

    Was thinking about this PVP platoon, I think its a great idea, and something I've been hoping for, since I gotta keep the event, vxp, and res going as much as possible.  I often can't pvp with such demands on my repair time.  

    I am hoping it is a separate repair time.  Squad, Air and Pvp.   However if its just one platoon, makes me wonder, how they will handle air, as you tend to throw Air, and several platoons at pvp.

    in the last preseason pvp I got screwed, I was in sector 236 and finished the preseason in that sector in the top 100 which entitled me to a tempest and 20k in medals. a was not awarded the prizes I was entitled to yet I was forced to participate in the madness. Since you cant guarantee proper awarding of prizes for these pvp events how do you expect to keep track of the efforts of individuals, clans, and alliances, which may or may not want to participate in this wet dream.and those that do not want to participate in these pvp wars will you provide a designated sector for them to go to, or a you going to force them to be targets for everyone else. some people cannot excactly jump on command when they are doing C&C upgrades. Or a key turret is being upgrade for a few days. or people that are not ready to participate for what ever reason be that a weak base , middle of promoting or ranking units that they will need to participate. while your upcoming events sound good on paper, and I am sure the people that cheated those powerful units into there inventories are excited and chompping at the bit to get at the the ones still either ranking or promoting theres. it should be made clear that some form of limitation needs to be in place to keep these events as fair as possible example a lvl 45 player clearly has a substantial advantage over a lvl 30 player yet that lvl 30 can be attacked by the lvl 45 with a rocket buggy for a platoon and use his air units to destroy the lvl 30's base. the lvl 30 can counter attack but he hasn't one chance in hell of hurting that lvl 45 but only himself because he loose everything he has attacking that lvl 45 player
