konstantine Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK, just started a PBEM QB in 1.07, as I haven't played since 1.03. But a bug I reported way back when surfaced the instant I loaded my first PBEM file (other than the initial password files): I get an FO with no ammo (Red versus Red). Or am I overlooking something obvious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Automatic QB troop selections can be so unequal (meaning that the other side has a huge advantage) that I wouldn't play a PBEM game based on QB. I've seen your FO without artillery issue several times. [ March 10, 2008, 02:32 PM: Message edited by: SlowMotion ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantine Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, I've seen it since I received my pre-ordered game! Not to complain too loudly, but are QBs ever going to be fixed? Guess I was disappointed to put my trust back in the game after several patches, after hearing that it was fixed, only to fire it up and find this big glaring error the first game I try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I stopped playing QBs quite a while ago because of these issues. I remember more than one occasion where I received a FO playing as red but no artillery and the odd occassion when I got some artillery but no FO. I even got 3+ FOs but no artillery in one situation but I don't recall a single time when I got both so I just decided that that was enough. Try some of the scenarios man, there are some beauties as well as a couple of campaigns. I can't imagine you'll return to QBs for a long time after playing some of them. With regards to your question about getting QBs fixed, it's definitely on their list and probably very high up on that list too. But don't expect an improvement anything anytime soon. The rest of the game is fixed and it's fantastic. A working game was obviously a much higher priority for fixing than the QB system for the most obvious reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantine Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Fair enough and thanks for the detailed response. I do love QBs, and I was never one of those gamey bastards who set up ideal parameters and preyed on naive opponents. I liked the randomized factor and even all-random games (much more fun than you'd think). The red:red/blue:blue feature in this game gives QBs a heck of a lot of potential, so I really hope it's looked at in the future of the game/engine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
