    The Game is Staler than Year Old Bread

    Will repost all my suggestions in one place to see if we can start a constructive conversation about improving the game’s replayability among the other issues that plague the game and stop it from being fun for the average player over time. As the title says the game is staler than year old bread. After playing this game for over three years and nearly 900 hours very little has changed in the way each round plays out. We play on the same maps the same cap points with the same restricted borders, the same game mode and class limitations.

    For the hard core players we can keep coming back for the love of Civil War history and the friends we’ve made in the community. For the average Joe who may not be into the history but is here just to enjoy a fun FPS shooter it’s a hard sell over a longer period of time.

    Many units are shedding members for no other reason but their people are tired of playing War of Rights. There are a ton other quality games that offer very stiff competition to War of Rights even though their in a different genre. At some point in the next year there will be a direct threat to War of Rights in the form of Battle Cry of Freedom. We’ve all dedicated a ton of time, and treasure to this game and it’s community and it would be a shame to see dedicated community leaders feel their forced to move their group elsewhere to stay alive because WoR is stuck in a state of stagnation. Below are all the suggestions I’ve submitted over my time in the community some have been well received and some have not. To this day one has been implemented and many still have received no feedback from the dev team.

    If I didn’t want to see this game succeed and grow to its full potential I would have remained silent.

    White Knights I appreciate your loyalty to the Dev but we really need to have an open and constructive conversation without you trying to run interference so it’s appreciated if you have nothing useful to add please stay out of it.

    Need to add an Admin Feature to Disable Auto Balance


    Need an admin feature that allows you to completely disable auto balance on your server. The current way of temporarily doing it isn't really efficient during events as it has to be done continually as people join the server. When can we see this implemented? Thank you!


    Spawn onto the field already reloaded
    My suggestion is that when you spawn in at the main spawn or on the flag that the character already be reloaded. Will cut down on time to get moving also doesn't put the newly spawned in player at a disadvantage when spawning on the flag in the middle of battle.


    Kicked from my own server for respawning too many times.


    CG is it possible to make it so the admins don’t get kicked for respawning too much? Was on my server doing event planning and needed to respawn multiple times and I was booted form my own server.


    Suggestions for an Admin Panel 2.0
    I've compiled a list of features that I would like to see be included to increase the usefulness of the Admin panel. These are just the one I've thought about I encourage others to throw their ideas into the mix.





    • Ability to disable dynamic weather
    • Option to display a motd announcement (The message would be displayed a frequency set by the server admin)
    • Need a proper interface that offers drop down menus for things like map selection that actually list maps by name
    • The option to set the number of available Officer and NCOs slots on the server (Useful when running events)
    • Drop down menu option to disable autobalance
    • New weather selection UI that allows you in plain English to control level of the rain, wind, snow
    • Option for Admins to change how long a round lasts. (Useful for giving prep time during events or allowing for longer rounds if the server owner wants that.)
    • The ability to change who is attacking or defending
    • Ability to disable the cap point
    • Would be nice to also be able to set the Regiments that are available for each map
    • Ability to remove someone from Officer position without kicking them from the server.



    Sandbox Gamemode
    I just finished reading the forum post about folks clamoring for new content. As far as content I have a wonderful idea, CG created a wonderful large map for the Drill Camp and currently it isn't being used for much. We would love to have simple editing tools to create our own points of contention and scenarios. This would increase replay value of the game by a lot.


    We understand that the Drill Camp is for drill so I recommend creating an exact copy of the Drill Camp with both Union and Confederates included and call it sandbox mode or something. We already create our own events on the Drill Camp map because we enjoy but unfortunately we can only use our imagination because of the lack of these tools. We've even created our own custom map of the Drill Camp map to show the potential for different scenarios. Hopefully you all like this idea and can improve upon it.

    Officer Out of Line Timer
    I would like to suggest that you revisit the Officer out of line timer. Currently you're just not giving an Officer who starts at spawn enough time to even get back into the fight. On full servers or events it's not usually a problem but when you're on a 25 popped server and you need to run back from main spawn it's impossible depending on the map to make it back. My recommendation is bump it up to 60 seconds instead of 20 seconds. Thank you!


    Need the Option to Furl the Colours
    It is not historically accurate to believe that civil war Regiments would have had their colours unfurled when they wanted to keep their position unknown to the enemy. When engaged in combat the colours do provide inspiration to the men but when moving through woods or other concealment it would be foolhardy to have the colours unfurled. Since War of Rights strives for historical accuracy I believe a mechanic to furl the colours needs to be implemented.


    More Dedicated Server Providers
    It's time to get more service providers on board to host WoR, we need competition to drive down the price. Also why not allow us to host our own dedicated servers, many of us have the skills to setup and run our own servers? Thanks for your consideration!


    Ability to Disable Environmental Effects
    Need the ability to completely disable environmental effects from the Admin panel. The current system doesn't work and the large FPS drop caused by the effects is not worth having them turned on. Thank you!


    Notification someone went into F9 mode
    It would be nice to see a server wide notification if someone goes into observer mode F9. I believe this would cut down on folks using this to their advantage during events. Thank you!


    Destructible Enviroment
    It would be nice to see a destructible environment be added to WoR, this would really make the game much more immersive.
