Thread: Make War not Love 2 - The Rematch13 Feb 2015, 16:53 PM For what it's worth I think the game is in a better place now than it was a year ago. I also feel bad for feeding into the negativity lately. I think the individual people working at Relic are really great people and are passionate about their products but I find as a company that dedication and passion gets lost. In: Lobby
Thread: It just isn't fun anymore13 Feb 2015, 04:57 AM I think the potential for there to be a lot of strategies in CoH2 is there, even not considering commanders. The problem is that I think there are a lot of units that have very under whelming performance ( SU-76 and IR HT for example ) and that generalist units (grenadiers and conscripts and volks with shrecks) are just too well rounded units for you not to build.

Thread: Make War not Love 2 - The Rematch11 Feb 2015, 23:39 PM zomg CA broke Relic's NDA. Will Sega legal now attack each other? I hope they use the scorpion knife fight method. In: Lobby
Thread: "Blobbing"11 Feb 2015, 03:51 AM it was the 10% extra suppression bulletin and the gunner could go from one side of the arc to the other in under a second that made the MG42 total bullshit at release. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M2HB .50 Cal Machine Gun10 Feb 2015, 23:22 PM the vet bonuses are supposed to be applied to the squad, not the entities. the received accuracy modifiers are applied to the squad as well. So when you crew an MG with say a vet5 ober it's basically an MG team made up four vet 0 obersoldaten entities (aka four 80hp entities) with the 1.25x received accuracy modifier from MGs. however vet and modifiers could be bugged and its applying to entities when it shouldn't. nothing surprises me with this game might need to test it out.

Thread: Improve ranking system, Relic9 Feb 2015, 21:56 PM prestige basically equates to this dude has been playing the game for this amount of time, all game modes count btw. It doesn't give any indication of the player's ability however everyone has an Elo rating, a rating which is hidden from everyone except Relic themselves. I think it's dumb, it should at least be viewable by the player them self. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Decal Screen Shots8 Feb 2015, 17:40 PM they look the same as they always have (except the P4 G model because Relic fucked up patch integrations yet again, what a jolly sojourn it must be to work in their QA department.) In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 7 Feb 2015, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Feb 2015, 09:43 AMBeltFedWombat I am an IpKai fanboy. I trust his knowledge. His scepticism is hard-won, not internet asshattery of the sort that one finds here in abundance. In short, when he speaks I invariably listen, stroking my immaculately-groomed beard and nodding in agreement at his fell wisdom. However, this is where I disagree. With knobs on. IpKai is an esports advocate par excellence. This focus on a narrow sliver of the wider game is why he, and quite a lot of the tournament 1v1 / 2v2 hardcore sometimes miss the point. CoH2 needs solid, well-polished core game-play and it needs shiny-shiny pretty things for the folks who engage with CoH2 (whisper it, lest the sky fall in) differently from you. I fall in the middle. On one hand, I follow tournies and love watching skilled players. I'm currently getting into and really enjoying 2v2. On the other, I'm a 3v3 / 4 v 4 scrub a lot of the time, I like the occasional mindless stomp and I love aesthetic tweaks to the game. And even that puts me in a minority of the players who fund this game and keep it alive. Seriously, the competitive community needs to stop wallowing in a swamp of righteous entitlement and Smell The Coffee. You are whining yourself into irrelevance. I really like extra features but at the moment CoH2 is a burger made with a really high quality bun and salad but the meat itself is a piece of leather overcooked in an oven for a day. Whatever your poison be if the main game isn't up to snuff the extras aren't gonna keep people around for a long time. I actually mostly play team games and I get sick of dealing with massive volks / obers blobs every game and the big ISU-152 gibbing squads from screens away. I'd really love for every game not to turn into the same shit show every time. Then there's the bugs that aggravate players like men getting stuck during retreat or the little micro freezes while playing. In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 6 Feb 2015, 21:12 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2015, 20:29 PMmaskedmonkey2 All I'm looking for is to clarify that you don't have near enough information to make some of the claims you have made, and as a result have made some comments about Relic that are at best disingenuous. On this issue exactly. You're right I don't have enough information. However having dealing with them for eight years I can't trust them to do the right thing all the time and naturally think the worst. Jump back to quoted post6 Feb 2015, 20:55 PMWinterfeld As somenbjorn stated, the game is right now Stale and boring. This, combined with war effort, the custom commanders, maybe some F2P model, that allows us some bigger playerbase, could really give this game the direction it has been looking for for so long. How about just making the core game better? The current strategies are just so strong that you can't vary your play style at all. Soviets have some room for variation but it still revolves around using a call in commander. In: Lobby
Thread: Supply - in-game currency 6 Feb 2015, 19:57 PM you're right. It doesn't say this in the UCS but last time they did implement a system like that you did have to use real money to keep your items working. There is precedent for this and I really hope they do not go down this road because that game didn't last long for that very reason. That's all most detractors are asking for but I guess I'm just entitled for not wanting a company to repeat mistakes they made in the past. In: Lobby
