The "real deal" patch will be the next big one

[Mazisky]

I have seen some disappointment with the lack of impactful AI changes in the new patch, among other things.

However this should still be considered as a minor patch that was just supposed to add Dlc content for the most part.

The next patch 5.0 would be the major one, the one with huge changes and lot of stuff, I think we should wait its release in the next couple months to really judge which direction the game is going.

Meanwhile, have all fun with Shadows of Change!

I think the disappointment is less about general fixes and more about those specific to the content of the DLC, like Ostankya and Changeling campaign which were expected to be fixed with the patch that fixed Shadow of Change. If not this patch (and no substantial race updates in a year and a half) that they delayed the game months over, it's a mug's game to expect the next patch to be any different.

sure and then they don't deliver next time you gonna say

"they were testing the grounds with such little additions the major things are on their way to come"

and when that time actually comes there will be no one left working on game in studio

And then, 20 years later when the game is considered complete abandonware and doesn't even work on the more recent computers, it suddenly gets a gigantic patch fixing every issue known to man leaving everyone completely flabbergasted. Just because CA wanted to troll us one last time.

Multiplayer chat will be back just in 20 years? The hype is real this time.

Not at all.

For me, 5.0 patch will be the make it or break it moment.

My review for the game is currently negative and I see that 5.0 patch as a crucial moment for changing my review to positive or leaving it negative.

I mean yeah I was hoping they were gonna change the campaigns for changeling atleast as its so boring and pointless, cool but pointless. This is the biggest gripe with the dlc for me

[feillyne]

Weren't 3.0 and 4.0 supposed to be the real deal? At least 4.2 is not just another batch of horrid balance changes, it does have new content... still, hypism is bad for one's health, especially applied to a company that often underdelivers.

If the Dawi don’t have proper maps for their Karaks and just more units. It shows how lazy and uncaring for the lore CA are

[AkumulatoR]

This whole patch is a huge nothingburger, so you're probably right. Next one is make or break. And I'm not sure if they're even capable of doing the make anymore.

They are one of the subjects of the next update.

Exactly my point

Yeah they should have new maps just like Chaos Dwarfs had new Darkland maps with industry assets.

Hopefully we get some new mountain maps aswell

[AkumulatoR]

Expecting them to rework siege maps again for free is delusional. Expecting them to do it just for one race (or even three, doesn't matter) is pure lunacy. Not gonna happen.

Was anyone actually expecting anything major game wise in this patch other than the new stuff, some fixes and some balance changes? I personally wasn't, and while obviously i don't speak for the community i don't think many people at all were either.

Some people have been complaining, but that was probably inevitable even if Jesus came down and personally handed them the completed absolutely perfect game with no issues.
