Personally I dont see why everyone is so against a specialized company.  Shouldnt player have the right to design a company the way they choose?   If the devs feel a unit is too spammable...then please by all means increase the prices.  Just look at the crazy price on the walking stuka for example.  I think coordinating your company with a partner adds more immersion to the game.  If you are playing balanced companies in a 3v3 then you might as well only stay on your side of the map and only fight one opponent and never help your allies.

Specialised companies =/= spamming a single unit type.

The problem with the dev team raising the base cost of a unit to prevent people from spamming them, is that it makes it much less likely someone will use that now higher-cost unit in a balanced company.   If you want proof of this, look how often you see allied halftracks on the field that arn't quads.   It's because people spammed them and used them as clown cars and now a halftrack with no upgrades costs 2x as much manpower as a M8.

Balancing unit costs to counter people buying nothing but that one unit and calling it a company is a bad idea and very bad for the game, people just need to stop doing it or we need an escalating cost system for support units to prevent this - then people can buy a few at the regular price, but if they decide they need, oh, say, 35 flame halftracks, then each one over 5 is more expensive

To temporarily concern the original topic of the thread, I for one am happy with the system as it is now. I don't have to fret over win ratios, and I can avoid people whom I dont like playing with or know I have connection problems with.

[20:46] GenericNameAlpha> i want hidden names back

[GamerAndy]

Thats newbies not wanting to play someone they think is significantly better than them, and they're probably right.

The problem you run into is you're a jackass who runs gimmick companies, and people know that win or lose they won't have fun playing against you

[Haroquen]

I say hidden names are just as bad an idea as percent based matchup locks in such a small community. The reason hidden names work in a hyptothetical large community is because there's a much larger chance you wont run into the same stacked teams or people you don't enjoy playing with.
However, because we have such a small constituency of players, you have a very good chance of running into people you think are to strong, people you have connection issues with, or people with 'gimmicky' companies.

hay if ppl don't want to play him at the coast of starting a round, i chose the majority. he chose to join my game repeatedly driving away players, and when i went and re made he kept rejoining, its OK that he was looking for a game but did he haft to join the one with the lowest skilled players. that just looks bad. after he tried to pretend he wasn't himself just to play, i respect that seeing as we all deserve to play and have fun but really there where games up that he could join that had players of his own skill.

 we need something like ants to help us have fair games but that blind fold i dint think its necessary as its hard to connect with other players if you cant see them. ANTS needs to come back, but not now, not till the newer players get a hang of things and we settle into our skill groups.

[doctorsamuri]

lol damned if we do (have ants) and damned if we dont. I've seen so many players that "refuses" to play anyone on the leader boards because they dont want to get "steam rolled".

I dont know why anyone would be scared to play me, I'm only 60% win rate

Hidden names are not responsible for taking more time to have a game.
Haroquen how long was it yesterday we tried for that 3v3 ? 1 hour, 2 ?
And in the end you and me dropped after 6 minutes of play, and the rest continued 2v2..
Hidden names just speed up the process.
You get to join and try more games, and in the end play more.

[doctorsamuri]

hey heres an idea, have HIDDEN NAMES FOR UR ALLIES! 

[DerangedFerret]

You disgust me even from the vast distance from home that is france! Cant we thank the devs for fixing it? No, lets bitch about the changes they graciously agreed to make! Cant you give them at least a day off?

Whos chaining them up to work ? I know we stopped puting them to isolation room for no reason and the food ratios are been given regularly, so i dont know why youre complaining ?!

[Unkn0wn]

We should all just make accounts called "Hidden" and "Hidden1", etc .
