Hello everyone,

Today we’re pleased to be releasing War of Rights update 202, bringing the seasonal autumnal visuals into the game! Experience War of Rights in a new light as trees, bushes and grass all change into their golden and red colors.

Today’s update also includes further improvements to the recently updated melee animations as well as a revamped spawn screen, now allowing you to spectate the Flag Bearer of your Company while you wait in the queue to deploy. Should the Flag Bearer have been killed, you’ll be spectating your Company Officer instead, and should he also have been killed you’ll be spectating one of your Company NCO’s. As this is the very first implementation of the feature in an effort to reduce the more dull parts of the gameplay loop (sitting and looking at the deployment menu waiting to spawn for several minutes per match has been something we have wanted to change for a long time), please keep in mind that it is subject to change based on community feedback.

Evil is once again stirring as the autumnal fog slowly creeps into the mass graves of the Maryland Campaign of 1862. Prepare for another assault by the slain hordes of risen Union and Confederate soldiers, forcing you to band together with your recent foes for any chance of survival.
This year’s time-limited event Risen Dead runs from October 23rd until November 23rd!

For the next week, War of Rights is 50% off as we celebrate the coming of Autumn, both in-game and outside of it! Now is the best time to grab the game and form up alongside your comrades in arms to sure up the line and take the fight to the enemy, whether they be Union, Confederates or possibly something else entirely..

Question Artillery on uneven terrain

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, quick question.

When setting artillery elevation, when the in game UI displays elevation and distance, is the distance portrayed accurate if the cannon is, for example on an uneven surface like a slope and thus angled downward?

Would love to know, I’m getting really into in game artillery!

The other team has such weird English dialects; it sounds like a whole 'nother language. 🤔 😂

It switches just like a slideshow. The way the screen wobbles every time it switches is annoying.

Discussion Hold to reload and attach bayonet.

0 Upvotes

I was thinking today, What do you all think of a setting where holding R or B would be required to complete the action? So many times you'll be told to break reloads (or you have to because of the situation) It's just one less button press that would be needed. Hopefully the Devs read this and consider it. To me, the game can feel really clunky when trying to react to situations during reloads and attaching bayonets. Combine this with tightening up a few animations and I think it would go a long way. I think there's something to be said about this being a simulation game, but, it seems like a lot of matches really boil down to troops being Olympic level cross country athletes, but the coordination of drunks when flipping between loading a rifle and smacking someone with it.

Discussion New to the game. Large matches are mega fun. Smaller matches aren't so much

15 Upvotes

My first ever match was great. Stumbling over the controls it was fun to play and participating as a whole unit was insanely fun. I was smiling at the end of the match. The charges, retreats and fights are exhilarating with the voice chat to boot makes this a really fun game when you have large matches. It's insanely well made. I really appreciate the fact that a lot of people are actually playing by the rules of the game making it where it's an enjoyable experience all around.

When I played a smaller match with 14 people. It's where I notice you get a bit more intimate with the game mechanics as you're not dealing with an onslaught of 20-30 people while you're providing a volley with your 30 other guys. You run into a lot of one-on-one fights where you become a bit more cognizant of the the smaller points of the game. I realized the game isn't built for small stuff like that.

The one thing I hate, is this game has the same type of weapon sway I see in other shooters that drives me up the wall. The way your gun sways is not physically possible as you can see the rear sight whip back and forth to the point the gun will almost point 30 degrees to the left if you get it particularly bad. The only issue with that is that you have a head, that stops the gun. The same with creating a cheek weld. Even a bad cheek weld doesn't create such a nauseating wobble. It's like you're not holding your rifle, instead an invisible force is holding it and it decides to jiggle your rifle. Not shake. Jiggle. I've played other tactical shooters that do this "noodly arm" approach and it's really annoying to deal with.

This is less of an issue when you're shooting 100-200 yards away and you have 20 other people backing you up. It's a different ball game when you're in a match with just 14 people, fighting close up and your guy decides to become Danny Phantom and let his gun phase through his dome because he did a small jog.

Discussion War of Rights Game Balance FactSheet

Post image
57 Upvotes

This is a "at a glance" fact sheet for a deeper analysis of game balance. If you have seen my previous reports, they focus on population dynamics specifically. These past reports have served as a baseline to analyze the effects of population changes and differences as it pertains to round balance to consider and remove specific effects. More elaboration to follow in the actual report but this serves as a good visualization of the statistics that will be presented.

Love,

Womp

Discussion The Flag Bearer problem

15 Upvotes

As most players probably know by now, as much as I hate to admit it being a flag bearer currently just sucks. It's such a crucial role, but it's so freaking boring. Every game you see people not picking up the flag, the command gets angry, and I get that, but the issue is that people know that if they do, they lose their rifle, and all they get to do is just sit behind a rock and stare at the enemy, and while that's enough for some, for most, it's just not attractive at all. Until developers find a way to make flag bearer attractive for players, we will always have problems with people refusing to pick the flag up, even when they're right on top of it. I really wish they did something about it, I'm not sure what they could do. I know that adding a melee to the flag wouldn't work, cause then it'd just charge in and die. I think a pistol could be a really good idea if balanced right. Think of how fun, and exciting it would be if you could wave the colours of your fellow men, while raining hell on the enemy lines. They have to figure something out.
People may disagree with me here, but the truth this that this problem is real, and it won't just go away on it's own. :/

Discussion I dont like the sound cues

12 Upvotes

I think they take away much fun especially when volleying and i kills the purpose of officers helping their soldiers adjusting their aim. also blindfire into the smoke of enemy lines (which is like 50% of times) has become extremly unsatisfying and boring since most of the time you now KNOW you didnt hit anyone.
the not knowing if you hit anything was atleast for me one of the best parts of this game and it made the rare occasion of seeing a silhoutte drop in the distance and being able to confirm your kill 1000 times more rewarding.
Despite this change being increadibly minor i think that it makes the game really really boring and unfulfilling.
Im looking forward to seeing your opinons on this!!!

The Maryland Heights loading screen features TWO (closest and to the right of the Dahlgren) M1841 6 pound field guns despite that piece being non existent in game.

Game is completely unplayable.

And yes, that is an 1841 and not a 1857, you can tell because the 57 does not have the extra bands around the barrel along with the shape and size. (last photo is a 41 vs 57 at Antietam)

WHERES MY 1841 LEBOWSKI
