A key generation of HLL players, referred to as Veterans, are leaving the game or simply getting exhausted. For such a serious topic we take the time to discuss this and it’s impacts with two pillars of the HLL community, Wild Bill Jammin and Heidegger.  They provide their in-depth perspective on game mechanics, the Meta changes since Update 3 and how these changes removed choices and added rules.  We address the recent changes in Update 9 and the last PTE to determine if it fixes, mitigates, or ignore critical issues to this player group.   This is a long one so settle in.  

We provide our first feedback of the PTE and speculate on a release date. A wrap up of the Currahee Cleanup Project is provided along with highlighting the winner of the HLL video creation competition.  Congratulations to Easy who combined Company of Heroes with HLL to take the top spot.
