Vehicle Warfare is BACK! 5 minute tank spawns! but....

Post by npsxbox »

So with the re-release of the new Hotfix, I am totally excited again about the .9 possibilities.

Thank you Devs for making the much-needed change!

But why aren't servers running the mode now? I think some servers haven't even installed the hotfix. I was just at the Chicago Hardcore Tank only server (totally empty btw) and the tanks did NOT spawn in 5 minutes.

Why are people afraid of the mode? Come one guys, lets give it try!

i think ppl are still put off by the 20 min spawn tanks used to have. on pubs this just means ppl will end up at the base TKing.

also, the lack of infantry is a good reason for passionate ground pounders like me not to play VW. although when i played the old version of VW on yamalia it was big fun!

i know :) . i wasn't clear i guess :( . what i meant was that ppl probably don't know about the shorter spawntimes yet.

I knowz! Server admins are still "people".. :D
Anyway, I tried Thor's Brigade VW serv (Only me there) and it took 5 mins for the tanks to spawn :D
Maybe maybe maybe u could use the news ticker to announce that now it takes 5 mins for tanks to spawn in VW?

when i played vehicle warfare the other day with the hotfix about 20 people dropped out immediately. I dont think its a fan favorite other then a select few.

Personally, i dislike it. im not a tank vs. tank person. I think its too bland as well. i like having a mix of infantry and vehicles and helicopters and all that good stuff.

Boring mode tbh... It's not "Reality" enough for me and takes the focus off what this mods supposed to be about

It might be an idea to put this specific VWF fix onto the news reel?

I have still yet to actually play the mode, was looking foward to it.

Its a darn shame that servers aren't running these modes/being populated. Here is my idea to help fix the situation. I say that one or two servers run a VW only night once a week. That way, people can gain exposure. Say like Server "X" ran VW mode on Thursday night from 6p.m. through 12a.m. I think that would help to get things started. Personally, I wish this mode was more popular. I would play it almost exclusively.

Could the PR team host a VW only event? That would probably attract more people.

I'm an infantry man at heart, can't see myself playing in a tank for a whole match.
I'd rather have my feet on the ground and getting my hands dirty.
Glad to hear they released a hotfix for this game mode though, good job DEV's.
