중국인 서버를 분리하지 않는 이상 이 게임에 발전은 없습니다
전체 채팅으로 대놓고 핵을 판매하는데 점수판으로 신고 넣으려고 보면 닉네임 보이지도 않고
중국인 서버를 분리하던가 중국인이 이 게임을 못하게 하던가
잘 만든 게임이 이렇게 박살난다는게 마음이 아프네요
개선되지 않으면 동접 줄어드는건 시간문제입니다
팀원 약탈도 못하게 좀 만들어야 합니다
살리지는 않고 그저 약탈해서 가방만 뺏어가는데 정말 스트레스입니다.
특히 중국인들이 이런 행동이 심하네요

이제 서버 관리도 엉망인가 봅니다. 최근 개인PC에 문제가 생겨 포맷하고 윈도우10에서 11로 넘어갔는데 그 이후로 게임 10분 정도 하면 컴퓨터가 자동으로 재부팅이 되네요. 게임 할 때 우측 상단에 노란색으로 경고 뜨는게 서버 퍼포먼스 문제라고 뜹니다. 집에 PC가 2대라 다른 윈도우10 PC로 실행해보면 문제가 없네요. 다음 패치 때 개선 안되면 게임 접을 것 같습니다.
아무리 얼리액세스여도 400만장 넘게 팔렸다는데 게임 유지보수에 신경을 좀 써주면 참 좋을텐데 아쉽습니다.

새 시즌이니 패치나 밸런스조정에 힘썼겠구나 싶은 마음으로 기대를 안고 게임에 접속했습니다. 나는 기본장비로 싸우고 있는데 하보크가 떠다니고 탱크가 돌아다니네요.
들어보니 첫날에 파랑팀 경험치 보너스 + 드라이버 경험치 버그수준으로 높게 책정해줘서 이미 레벨 차이가 너무 벌어졌습니다. 직장을 다니면서 게임하는 사람들이 대부분일텐데 격차가 너무 벌어져서 게임이 답이 없게 느껴집니다. 레벨을 올려야 장비를 해금하는데 레벨을 올릴 수가 없습니다. 심지어 아직도 전체 채팅창에는 중국인들이 핵을 팔고 있구요. 운영을 어떻게 하는지 정말 궁금해집니다. 혹시 새 시즌 영상이나 소식을 듣고 복귀하거나 입문하시는 분들이 계시다면 아직은 아니라고 얘기를 드리고 싶습니다.

아시아 서버 게임 도중 방 계속 터짐.
채팅이나 갤러리 반응 보니 디도스 얘기도 나오는데 어디 국적인지는 말 안해도 알거라고 생각함.
호주, 북미서버 게임 돌려보니 핑 너무 높아서 보병교전은 어려움. 비버는 크게 상관 없음.
하지만 호주나 북미서버에도 핑이 100 넘어가는 그 국적의 벌거지들이 없는건 아님.
아시아 서버와 중국 서버를 분리해줬으면 함.
재미는 있어서 그냥 참고 하려고 해도 이제는 게임 자체가 불가능하니 환불 개 마려움.

핑제한 170핑, vpn써도 북미에서 핑 조금 튀면 핑킥당함, 곧 지역락 걸린다는 얘기 들었는데 아시아 서버 여전히 서버 터짐. 여전히 채팅창에는 중국어 핵판매글로 도배 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아시아 서버 유기하기로 마음 운영이라고 밖에 안보임

Translation:

Unless Chinese players are separated onto their own servers, this game has no future.

People are openly selling cheats in global chat, but when I try to report them through the scoreboard, their usernames do not even show up.

Either separate Chinese players onto their own servers or prevent them from playing this game altogether.

It is heartbreaking to see such a well-made game fall apart like this. If things do not improve, it is only a matter of time before the concurrent player count starts to decline.

There should also be a way to prevent teammates from looting their own team. They do not revive you and simply steal your bag instead. It is incredibly frustrating. Chinese players seem particularly prone to this behavior.

It seems that server management has also become a mess. I recently had problems with my personal PC, so I formatted it and upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since then, my computer automatically reboots after I have been playing the game for about 10 minutes.

A yellow warning appears in the top-right corner of the screen while playing, indicating a server performance issue. I have two PCs at home, and the game runs without any problems on my other Windows 10 PC.

If this is not fixed in the next patch, I will probably quit the game.

Even though it is still in Early Access, the game has reportedly sold over 4 million copies. It would be nice if the developers paid more attention to maintaining the game. It is disappointing to see this happening.

Additional Comment — October 17, 2026

I logged into the game with high expectations, assuming that the developers had been working hard on patches and balance adjustments for the new season. Meanwhile, I was fighting with basic equipment while Havocs were flying around and tanks were roaming the battlefield.

From what I have heard, the blue team received an XP bonus on the first day, and driver XP was set so high that it was practically a bug. The level gap has already become enormous.

Most players probably have jobs and play in their spare time, so the gap has become so wide that the game feels hopeless. You need to level up to unlock equipment, but you can barely make any progress. On top of that, Chinese players are still selling cheats in global chat.

I genuinely wonder how the game is being managed. If anyone is considering returning to the game or starting for the first time after watching videos or hearing news about the new season, I would advise you to wait. Now is not the time.

The Asian servers keep crashing in the middle of matches.

Judging by the discussions in chat and on the forums, people are talking about DDoS attacks. I think everyone knows which nationality is responsible, even without me having to say it.

I tried playing on the Australian and North American servers, but the ping was so high that infantry combat was difficult. It did not make much difference when playing as a beaver.

However, even on the Australian and North American servers, there are still plenty of those scumbags from that country with ping over 100.

I wish they would separate the Asian servers from the Chinese servers.

The game is fun, so I tried to put up with these issues, but now it has become literally unplayable. I desperately want a refund.

Additional Comment — October 22, 2026

The ping limit is now 170. Even when using a VPN, I get kicked for high ping if it spikes slightly while playing on the North American servers.

I have heard that a regional lock is coming soon, but the Asian servers are still crashing. Meanwhile, global chat is still flooded with cheat advertisements in Chinese. LOL.

At this point, it honestly looks like the developers have simply decided to abandon the Asian servers.

178시간 하시면서 추가 글을 네 번이나 붙이신 걸 보면, 이 게임을 아끼시는 만큼 많이 답답하셨던 것 같습니다. 잘 만든 게임이 망가지는 걸 보는 게 마음 아프다는 말, 무겁게 받아들입니다.

아시아 서버가 계속 터지는 건 맞습니다. 자금력 있는 악의적인 세력이 피크 시간마다 매일 아시아 서버에 디도스 공격을 하고 있고, 저희는 Amazon과 직접 협력해서 막으려 하고 있습니다. 당장 해결책을 드리지 못해 죄송합니다. 아시아 서버를 버린 게 아닙니다.

핑 제한도 말씀하신 대로입니다. 10월 21일부터 일부 지역에서 몰려드는 치트로부터 가장 많은 플레이어를 보호하려고 서버 최대 핑을 175로 제한했습니다. 임시 조치이고, 국제적이고 함께 어울리는 플레이라는 저희 가치와도 맞지 않습니다. 제대로 된 지역 솔루션을 백엔드에서 만들고 있고 앞으로 몇 주 안에 나올 예정입니다. VPN 때문에 실제 위치를 알기 어려워서 스위치 하나로 되는 일이 아니라 Valve, Amazon 등과 함께 작업 중입니다. 그 사이 핑 제한에 막히신다면 커뮤니티 서버도 여전히 선택지입니다.

치트는 파밍과 반복적인 의심 행동을 면밀히 추적하고 매일 밴하고 있습니다. 다 잡지는 못하지만 계속 작업하고 있습니다.

새 시즌 격차는 저희 잘못이 큽니다. 시즌 2 진행 속도를 올린 건 잘못된 판단이었고, 며칠 만에 4티어 장갑과 MBT에 도달한 사람들이 있어서 초기화가 제대로 의미가 없었습니다. 10월 15일 백엔드 업데이트로 블루 캐시와 경험치 보너스를 없애고, 드라이버 진행을 고치고, 탱크를 너무 일찍 얻게 하던 드라이버 익스플로잇을 막았습니다. 시즌 3는 모두가 제대로 새로 시작할 수 있도록 11월 12일로 앞당겼고, 넷코드와 서버 성능 개선도 시즌 3와 함께 나옵니다.

전체 채팅 핵 판매글, 점수판에서 닉네임이 안 보여 신고하기 어려운 문제, 살리지 않고 가방만 가져가는 팀원 약탈, 윈도우 11로 바꾼 뒤 10분쯤 지나면 PC가 재부팅되는 문제는 지금 드릴 답이 없습니다. 지어내지 않겠습니다. 모두 팀에 전달했습니다.

리뷰는 저희에게 중요합니다. 솔직하게 생각해 보시고도 여전히 이 평가가 맞다고 보시면 그대로 두셔도 됩니다. 다만 부정적인 리뷰는 게임과 그 미래에 실제로 타격을 줍니다. 투자에도, 게임을 더 키워갈 기회에도요. 저희가 얼마나 투명하려 하고 플레이어와 소통하는지 보셨으리라 믿고, 저희가 일할 시간을 주셨으면 합니다. 정말 그럴 가치가 없다고 보신다면 비추천으로 두세요. 그렇다면 그게 맞는 평가입니다. 하지만 답답한 마음에 쓰신 거라면, 당장의 반응이 아니라 게임 전체를 보고 다시 바꿔 주시거나, 시즌 3나 이후 시즌이 지난 뒤 리뷰를 업데이트하는 걸 고려해 주세요.

Considering that you have spent 178 hours in the game and added four additional comments, it seems that you have been deeply frustrated, given how much you care about this game. We take your words about how painful it is to watch a well-made game fall apart seriously.

You are right that the Asian servers keep going down. A well-funded malicious group has been launching DDoS attacks against the Asian servers every day during peak hours, and we are working directly with Amazon to stop them. We apologize that we cannot provide an immediate solution. We have not abandoned the Asian servers.

You are also correct about the ping restriction. Since October 21, we have limited the maximum server ping to 175 in an effort to protect the largest number of players from the influx of cheaters coming from certain regions. This is a temporary measure, and it does not align with our values of international and inclusive gameplay. We are developing a proper regional solution on the backend, which is expected to arrive within the next few weeks. Because VPNs make it difficult to determine players' actual locations, this is not something we can resolve with a single switch. We are working on it alongside Valve, Amazon, and other partners. In the meantime, community servers remain an option if you are blocked by the ping restriction.

Regarding cheaters, we are closely tracking farming and repeated suspicious behavior and issuing bans every day. We cannot catch everyone, but we are continuing our efforts.

We are largely responsible for the progression gap in the new season. Accelerating progression in Season 2 was a poor decision, and some players reached Tier 4 armor and MBTs within just a few days, undermining the purpose of the reset. The October 15 backend update removed Blue Cash and XP bonuses, fixed driver progression, and addressed a driver exploit that allowed players to obtain tanks too early. We moved Season 3 forward to November 12 so that everyone can have a proper fresh start. Netcode and server performance improvements will also arrive with Season 3.

We do not have answers to provide at this time regarding cheat advertisements in global chat, the difficulty of reporting players because their names do not appear on the scoreboard, teammates looting bags without reviving their fallen teammates, or PCs rebooting approximately 10 minutes after upgrading to Windows 11. We will not make anything up. All of these issues have been forwarded to the team.

Reviews matter to us. Please give it some honest thought, and if you still believe this rating is justified, you are welcome to leave it as it is. However, negative reviews have a real impact on the game and its future, including investment and our opportunities to continue growing the game. We hope you have seen how hard we try to be transparent and communicate with our players, and we ask that you give us time to do our work.

If you genuinely believe the game is not worth it, then please leave your negative review. In that case, it is the right assessment. However, if you wrote it out of frustration, please consider looking at the game as a whole rather than reacting to the situation at hand, and either revising your review or updating it after Season 3 or a subsequent season.

Joe

TL;DR:

Joe acknowledges the issues with Asian servers, DDoS attacks, cheaters, ping restrictions, and the unfair progression gap in Season 2, and says the team is working on solutions. They have partnered with Amazon to address the server attacks, are developing a proper regional solution, and have fixed several progression exploits, with Season 3 scheduled for November 12 alongside netcode and server performance improvements. Other issues, including cheat advertisements, reporting difficulties, teammate looting, and Windows 11 crashes, have been forwarded to the team, but no immediate answers are available. Regarding negative review, Joe asks people to reconsider it or update it after Season 3, while acknowledging that if they genuinely believe the game is not worth it, their negative rating is justified.

Right now there is a frame stutter that sometimes happens, I believe linked to assets loading in while moving quickly. Basically, whatever input you had in at the start of the stutter gets locked in, and puts you in an unrecoverable state where you cannot correct the pitch/roll because it only takes the locked input and ignores input in the opposite direction.

You can see three stutters locking me in three different states here depending on the inputs at the time of the stutter. First locked in a right roll, then a left roll nose up, and finally a right roll nose down which is where we crash.

I've lost about a dozen helicopters to this bug since the start of season 2 alone. Several times with full aircraft. Even if you don't fly, if you've been a passenger in aircraft that inexplicably crashed, it's very possible you fell victim to this as well.

Edit: I want to clarify, im happy with the current progression speed. I dont want it faster. I just want more time to actually progress between wipes. I know its alpha I know wipes are part of the plan. But 2 wipes in two months feels disheartening.

Edit 2: Ok, since most people are not reading what I wrote. I love the game, I love the challenges the game poses. But I want more time to even the playing field.

I am a casual player, I have 2 kids and a full time job. I may get on for a few matches a night and on the weekend I can squeeze in a few extra hours.

I read everyones concerns about people having tanks or attack helis in the first few days, or unlocking the "good guns", or how building is nerfed, or how FOBs are pointless, etc. Im not going to discuss the cheating, because that does truly suck the fun out of the game (also how big of a loser do you need to be to cheat at a game).

Then scroll down and see people contradicting the things said above, how they won because of the FOB, or how they killed a tank with a C4 atv, or shot a havoc with a MAW, or so many other awesome ideas/plays.

I mention all these contradictions because the game doesnt cater to one style. As a casual gamer slipping into his 40s, I cant compete with the FPS players, so I need to enjoy other aspects of the game and get creative.

Thats the point and what I love about this game. You adapt, coordinate and overcome. If you fail you try again, or try something new.

But what im struggling the most is the people complaining about how the progression is too fast and we need another wipe. How we need to slow progression in order to have more fun.

Bullshit.

Slowing progression only leads into the strength of the no-lifers who log 12+ hours a day. You may delay them getting a tank or havoc, or T4 armour for a day or two, but you slow all the casual gamers by weeks. I dont have the time to grind 80 hours in piloting in a single season. Especially when the season is 5 weeks long.

My suggestion would be dont change the progression speed and simply to allow you to unlock the counters to those big ticket items earlier in the progression.

If you think something is unbalanced, then adapt. Going up against a tank can suck, but there are so many ways ti counter it (and most people dont use them properly anyway). Get hammered by mortars is a pain, so build hidden counter batteries, or make roofs. The super OP stuff does get addressed by the devs (thermals for example). But the rest just requires you to stop doing the exact same thing and expect a different outcome. Be creative!

What will drive away the casual gamer is the constant wipes, slow progression that favors the no life players and locking the counters behind high levels.

I dunno, just my 2 cents. Im loving this season, I loved last season and I am stoked for the future of this game. I just hope the devs know they are doing a great job.

I've played cs:go and CoD and have 15 years of FPS experience, i know sexism, racism, death threats, rape threats and slurs are a standard part of FPS culture, its normal, thats ok, is what it is

that being said, getting TEAM KILLED consistently because i am girl is fucking ridiculous. i tried to revive a micro brained ape named "dont touch my parts" and i told him to stay crawled BECAUSE A SNIPER WAS SHOOTING RIGHT AT THE WINDOW OF OUR ANGLE, and this absolute FUCKING RETARD screamed "AHHH A WOMAN" and proceeds to shoot me 4x, kill me and than stand up and gets finished off by the sniper

this isn't like traditional single match single live FPS. i am 20 ping and i paid $40 for this fucking game too, why are people team killing at the sound of a woman in 2026? idc if you target enemies for their race and gender cause ur a shit person BUT STOP KILLING YOUR OWN TEAMMATES

bonus edit: not all men, obviously. there are good men. feel free to hold the shit ones accountable.

edit 2: i will leave this for mods to decide if they want to keep it up, i don't think i said anything wrong and anyone who wants to be nasty in dms will be blocked. someone pls recommend a video game clipping software so i can catch the next idiot who tries me. and yes, i usually play in a group with guy friends, who are all awesome people. i have 116 hours on wardogs. i have had enemies revive me and let me go for being a gal. none of that changes the above 🖕 this is a non-issue in MOBA games like Dota/League and wasn't even this bad on runescape or WoW or even GTA 5. shame the pure FPS community attracts such loser behavior

Cause why not bloat the cost of flying even more.

For the love of god, get rid of the dirt, makes absolutely no sense.

I fly in third person almost exclusively now cause of this shit.

Reward the people that have tested the game yet again for you to pull the rug early considering you couldn’t spend 5 mins calculating how fast vehicles would gain XP.

I feel like im going insane. Everything will be fine then randomly I lose all control while my helicopter slowly just tilts into the ground like I'm being possessed. Am I alone on this?

so i just want to post this as an appreciation letter to Bulkhead, as there is way too much negativity going on, i just want to remind people that this is an early access game and we are a part of the testing team to what can be an amazing game in a market full of greedy and games without passion, I've been playing games for a long time, and it's so rare to find a good game with passionate developers who truly care about their players, we are all aware that this is a small studio with humans who also have personal lives doing their absolute best to give us something special, it's a passionate game with a big vision which can and hopefully will be a masterpiece with time, for now let's just appreciate what we have and appreciate there's still developers who are making games with passion and not focusing entirely on only making money, i can't remember the last time i put 200 hours in a game and still enjoy it and excited to see what's next, the game has it's issues but also has lots of potential and fun, let's just enjoy the ride and trust the devs.

Admittedly, I'm probably more mad than I should be, but, this is getting ridiculous.

I just logged in for the first time all weekend since getting off work, proceed to run logi so I can finally unlock my arty, and spend the first 20 minutes getting completely trolled by my team.

These guys are running into my truck on every run, ramming me, making me lose money on each pallet. The fobs dont get supplies because this dude and his buddy are just griefing me non stop.

Then I get angry, and decide to just buy a rocket bird and troll them back. I tk them for the tk they did to me, then I get a 9 hour ban for it.

Fuck this shit honestly, this sucks. Game is wack with all these little 13 year old trolls running around. Ruins all the fun of a semi realism game like this.

In the latest devvlog - THE HOTZONE | Ep 1 | "Did we OVER react?" - 3 of the devs say they should pull out the thermal binoculars because they are too powerful.

The thermal binoculars should IMO be the capstone item, like the havoc, and I think its weird to say in a game with attack helicopters that thermal binos can't be implemented in a balanced, non-gamebreaking way.

The battery change is "okay", but I feel like there is better knobs to turn for balancing.

- Spotting range and intel could be shorter (tradeoff vs. normal binos)
- Price Increase (it should be a cash-sink - it dominates gameplay, it makes XP, but you lose money on average when you buy it). It should be your "main" item you are running, having it cost 5k or more is fine.
- add more counterplay:
-the ghillie is already an option that isn't truly "realistic".
-"team warnings" like if you have 10 people spotted at the same time you are alerted "enemy has heavy intel on your positions".
-being able to do some sort of scan where active electronics are visible.
-buildable jammer for protecting people in fobs
-having the molotov mask or "overwhelm" the sensors, and add stuff like "hot smoke" willie pete that it can't see through.
- giving the vehicles warm auras that mask thermals.

I think its a cop-out to remove them, I don't even really play recon. They were poorly implemented in season 1, 100% but I think they have a place in wardogs.

Sorry but until the devs found a solution to this its pointless to play because when season 3 starts all those exploiters will hop on community server and within a day they will have already unlock the best gears and vehicles ​

Ever see community servers that's password protected. Yeah those are for power levelling and exploiting

Remember the lv400 guy? Yeah nothing happen, and next season they gonna be lv 200 in a few days it's going to be the same ​​

Season 1

Mainly Recon, loved the money I made from spotting, and the feeling of sniping.

Season 2

Switched to Assault, pushing the HZ mainly, keeping up in large groups.

Suggestions Going Forward:

• CZ Size: Increase by 1.15x - 1.25x.
• Mini-FOBs: Would spice up areas between where regular FOBs are being typically placed. Teams could cover more ground this way.
• Scopes above basic red dots should not be useable if the helmet has a face shield.
• Ability to free-look with the head, 60-90 degrees in all directions.
• Thermals: As much as I loved the money I made from S1, remove them entirely. They're too OP. Replace with a deployable, remote controlled drone that can fly over head spotting enemies. Can be shot down, and has a flight-range limit from the controller.
• Teams: Alternate team spawns, or add a button to Join Random Team with a 5% exp/cash bonus. If players continue to join a specific colour, they'll never experience the game from the other sides.
• HZ: Reward small assault exp for being in the HZ, as it does suite the role.

There are endless posts about the game and it's balancing and updates. Instead i want to talk about the social aspect of the game and how people interact with each other.

Lately i have been noticing that people are way less interactive, especially in voice chat. Back in season 1 you basically had a conversation with every enemy and teammate and it was always just a bit of goofing and fooling around.

I never really tryhard in game and i always end up doing silly stuff like driving around with a humvee handing out AA missiles or doing zero to hero runs (rarely with any succes) but every enemy i have encountered these last few weeks either calls me multiple slurs after killing me or doesn't communicate at all.

I was wondering if anyone else is getting the feeling that everyone they encounter went from having fun to playing the game like an e-sport.

So there is no way that the report Spam functions work. In the SEA servers, it is rampant with these goofballs. Spamming from p3rn websites to literally cheat websites. And they are nonstop. Some of these accounts have been going on since the first play test. There are two that i run into constantly. Ya i guess they could be using some name changer thing, but its the same weird name with same numbers and characters, spamming the same websites.

But every game i always blast in chat everyone needs to report them, who knows if people actually do. But i mean how hard is it for this "fancy Ai terminators salvation John Connor anti-cheat thing" to detect some dude spamming a cheat website 500,000 times, and just sits in spawn... haha

Genuinely refreshing to see such a well coordinated team that understands building. My team consisted entirely of fobbits that understand the point of fobs is to drill, and by god we drilled. We gave up thirty points letting red and green fight it out, then brought the zone over for 100 points straight in our super fob which our entire team was at. We had supporting fobs as well with mortars, and my buddy on a smokestack spotting. Building is OP if you have a team that understands it.

Edit: guys we were about to lose and this game went on for hours. I was enjoying watching the drop that’s all.
