absence of updates......absence of players

The soviets seem pretty bland atm

[SavageWorld]

It is all about reaching the tipping point. When a large enough part of the community play EF that becomes the norm. When the next pacth comes out you should try to post it on GR.org and ask if it could be poseted in the in-game news section. If that is not enough try to get a EF tournament going that will force a lot of the better players to play until they have a deep understanding off the game and this will result in strats and guides posted on gr.org which will increase the amount of attention the game gets.

If everything else fall I can assure you that when the OStheer comes out many people will begin to play again if only for a few weeks.

We've tried that from the beginning but doesn't work.
There is a good reason why there is no mod section in GR.org for any game. Its because the majority of people there don't play mods.

The staff there effectively did a 180 degree change in their attitude towards the mod once it was released. From enthusiasm it then turned to 'don't bother'. They never even shoutcasted a single EF game (not that there are many submitted)

They were not interested in running a tourney and perhaps that is rightly so due to the number of features missing from EF. When there is no player interest in GR for EF, they won't waste time running an unsuccessful/unpopular tournament.

[SavageWorld]

would it at least be possible post a note on the front page of gr.org it migth not be enough to get every one to play EF, but some people will see it and begin to play it again.

I think that the main reason why so many people stopped playing so fast was because of the 1.0 balance. If 1.1 is better than people might come back.

You can always hope.

I hope people arnt putting off playing eastern front because the lack of ranks

[Blackbishop]

Indeed... who gives a f#@&$ about rank anyway. I usually play against the PC, even if i play campaign instead of skirmish, i always use Eastern Front, in my opinion, it replaced Tales of Valor. I eagerly wait for the next patch for our beloved partially official add-on .

P.S. You already stated the next patch will bring balance to russians(1.05), that's mean patch 1.07~2.0 would bring the ostheer? I'm just being optimistic, that's all .

[Shaq]

Love to see whats in store for the osteer, maby the 1500 monster tank?

[huggy]

You can't really blame the community, it seems like the whole EF team went underground for a couple months now, no news, no patches. The only thing that keeps the community alive is the community itself wich is starting to die slowly .

anyway hang on there hopefully theres comming a 1.05 with the greatest balance fixes ever 

[luz777]

Whilst we havn't had as much news and updates as I'm sure some people would like, other than those nice re-skins over on Moddb, compared to a lot of other mod teams the EF guys are pretty vocal.

Maybe they just want abit of a rest haha

[Red_Stinger]

Its pretty sure that 1.05 will be available soon.
When EF was announced, I remember I did'nt believe it and, now, thanks to EF team, we can play it!! Soon all players wil play at EF, we need only a means to inform them!

The main word is: PATIENCE (or you will be shot lol )

status updates on the progress of the patch would be nice

+1 it would be reassuring to have info on "what we're doing"

[Rikard Blixt]

You will receive an update during next week .
Not about the 1.05 patch, but something else...

ohha, i hope that will bring some news and some life back
into the forums.

[boc120]

Yes, one would hope.

I hate to be the Devil's advocate here but if the update doesn't involve a date in which we can expect the 1.05 patch or some sort of completion update of the Ostheer people probably won't really give two flying foo foos...  Point is, is this is a good mod, problem is that the Dev's APPEAR to not care anymore. Yes I understand RL has a way of getting in the way of this stuff, but its been over a month since the last update for the mod... eventually all but the most hardcore followers will have left and gone on to other mods/games....

[Akalonor]

I play Blitzkreig until Ostheer comes out.I'm not good against Comp or players -.- unless its in BlitzK, There I am average.but yes an update would be nice.
