Welcome to the Community Creators blog! Every week we will scroll through YouTube, our Discord media page and our Community Hub on Steam to find your best creations!

Last year we have launched our brand new Content Creator Program. With this program we hope to show Heroes & Generals to the world with the help of our Creators. While at the same time help them to grow their channels and attract bigger audiences. Every week we start off the Community Creations blog by showing some of their footage. Do you think you have what it takes to join the content creator program? Take a look at the requirements and sign up!

After we had a mostly German edition last time, today we are introducing our new Polish youtuber GrYfciuOff. Check out his adventures in the video below and don't forget to subscribe for more of his content!

On the unofficial reddit page for Heroes & Generals, sofaofas has created a very nice time-laps for war 1046, based on the war updates posted on our discord server. Lasting well over 40 ingame days (more than 10 real life days), the war ended up in a victory for the United States.

Check it out here!

The next image does not come from the community, but is a preview of the new war settings! Which will be set in motion quite soon. To keep the war fresh and interesting, we have decided we want to change the capital cities around a few times a year. Both the current setting and the new setting have been suggested by community members. In the near future, we will start looking for new options again, so stay tuned for more information on that!



As captured by steam user yangtuoxiong, these two former enemy beasts now rest together on the green fields of the Luneville map. May they rust in peace.

RETO MOTO

The Development Overview board provides an overview of what projects are currently in development at RETO MOTO, so you as players of Heroes & Generals can see what we are working on.

The overview lists both the player-facing projects we are doing such as new content, features and maps. But it also shows the projects that are happening behind the scenes. Development projects you as a player may never even notice, but they are necessary to do to keep the game going.

The Development Overview is a living thing. Projects grow, transform, split into new ones or change all together as we work on them. Sometimes you might even see a project moving backwards in development if we find out something needs to be reworked.
Our current development projects are sorted into three basic sections based on where they are in our development cycle – early to final development.

This provides an indication of how far along in development a given project is.

The individual projects on the Development Overview vary in size and as such there can be a huge difference as to how long a project remains in one section or another.

The Development Overview also gives you an insight into what project we have chosen to put on hold, which are in test and projects released since the overview was last updated.

The Development Overview will be updated on a monthly basis.

Cheers!

RETO MOTO

Update 1.21.1 – Gameplay Enhanced is here and with it loads of Quality of Life improvements, gameplay enhancing changes and the usual bug fixes!

Matches will now have a time limit of 90 minutes. If the 90 minutes pass the defenders will win the match.

As a reference, only five out of ten thousand missions (0.05%) lasted more than 90 minutes in January. So the benefit of matchmaking faster far exceeds any concerns players may have.

Paratroopers and Recons have had their Equipment Points increased.
Both Soldier Types now have 8 Equipment Points to allow for wider ranges of weapons carried and utility.

In 2020 we have made some major changes to weapon balance due to the community requesting an investigation of the balance in the action game.

We have made them more class-specific, adjusted the modifications as well as the combat badges. With the groundwork we did last year, we will now make much smaller adjustments to the weapons to try and further improve the balance and gameplay experience for both the user of a weapon, as well as the receiver on the other end.

In Update 1.21.1 we have introduced quite a few smaller weapon changes, based on our statistics, personal experiences and your feedback from the community! In the following months we will review the changes, to see where the weapon balance has improved and where further adjustments are needed.

We will continue our efforts to improve balance in Heroes & Generals for the best gameplay experience possible.

To see the specific changes, please click here to view the changelog!

The War Over Screen has been revamped to show more complete information to players.


We have made adjustments to the progression of Infantry and Recons. This is done to smooth out the unlocking curve for new players. These changes have been focused on making the motorbike available earlier for infantry and letting new players get some experience before heading out with a tactically important Mobile Deployment.

We also changed Recon’s unlocking method for Recon Vehicles. This is done to allow the recons to unlock recon vehicles by themselves rather than being dependant on the Chauffeur Ribbon

Infantry
Motorbikes have been moved from Driver Ribbon 10 to Driver Ribbon 8 for Infantry.
Mobile Deployment Truck moved from Chauffeur Ribbon 2 to Chauffeur Ribbon 3.

Recon Vehicles:
Tier 1 Vehicles unlock has been moved from Chauffeur Ribbon 5 to Recon Ribbon 5. Tier 2 Vehicles unlock has been moved from Chauffeur Ribbon 9 to Driver 8 .
Tier 3 Vehicles unlock has been moved from Chauffeur Ribbon 12 to Driver 12

Badges
Infantry First Silver and Driver Bronze have been moved to be unlocked earlier in their corresponding Ribbon Ranks.

After each battle you can now conveniently select a Ribbon on the match summary screen and be shown a purchase button for a Ribbon Booster for the selected Ribbon.

A delay after the start of the reload animation is introduced during which a further click will not trigger a reload interruption.

Enjoy!
