"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: IA vs. AI, or "Why are Euros like this?"7 Sep 2023, 17:17 PM It's more than once that I've seen this on forums somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me understand why Europeans continue to call AI "IA". Why are Europeans like this? Why? I am an intelligent adversary, you are an intelligent adversary, a goddamn cat can be an intelligent adversary if you're playing with it with a string. It's a f!@#$ing Artificial Intelligence. A robot. Not real. Artificial. Maybe this made sense back when brits invented automated tiddlywinks machines that they could play against or some shit, but once multiplayer games were invented, "IA" stopped making sense. I come across Intelligent Adversaries every 4v4 PvP game (some less than others). It's a terrible descriptor. Is this just the Europeans' version of the Imperial measurement system? How long until they realize "AI" (the metric system) is just better in every way? In: Scrap Yard

Thread: CoH3 mod - reBALANCE Tuning Pack7 Sep 2023, 01:01 AM I messaged 45 users in my friends list if they would be willing to give CoH 3 another shot with this tuning pack and maybe some custom maps. Every single one is not interested. That's the level of apathy this game has accumulated for itself. It honestly beggars belief In: COH3 Central
Thread: Orders don't work.6 Sep 2023, 18:39 PM Of all the things I could say about CoH 3, at the very least I could say it was usually pretty responsive outside of giving attack orders to casemates (though that's since been improved), so my final answer is latency. In: COH3 Central

To be completely fair to A_E, he is a popular content creator, so if nothing else he would be a good ask on what a lot of people like to see most in a game/what brings in the most attention. I would imagine that they were asking him about what players liked watching the most about previous games. Or maybe how he would improve the replay/caster system. In: COH3 Central

I think having 4 factions currently keeps the game alive, because even with only 2-3 maps, you can have at least some variety in gameplay....the balancing isn't an awful lot off..."overfitting"..CoH3 balances each faction against two others from the start... All very good points This surely came at the cost of other parts not being finished. I don't think that CoH3 would have been a solid game if it released with two factions and shifted resources elsewhere. There was too much wrong with the game at release, having four factions can't be the cause of these issues. The post-release drought is a symptom of incompetent Relic leadership... +1 I think the situation overall has improved. Certainly, a lot of stuff sucking the fun out of the game in 4v4 got patched early on, like OST emplacement spam and brit boys rifle deathballs. ...Relic bit off more than they could chew, at least with poor leadership and planning. Four factions at release is part of that, but not the main reason why the launch failed so horribly and why the post-launch phase was very underwhelming. Thank you for the post. Good points all around. Maybe it was doomed from the start just from the Relic staff and leadership, maybe it was biting off more than they could chew, or maybe it was both ofc. Who knows. To be completely fair, it's probably not worth much to speculate about, seeing as there's nothing we can do to change the release (unless someone on here's invented a time machine I don't know about ), it was more of a hopeless rant on my part haha.

Thread: Why listening to the community isn't always good.31 Aug 2023, 19:17 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2023, 19:02 PMSmartie You did not remember my post in the shoutbox correctly. Fixed, thanks! Relic wanted to release with US / Wehr factions - do you think anybody would have been hyped for factions that was alrdy the CoH1 launch factions? I absolutely don't think so. And we should not forget that DAK / Brits as launch factions would never ever happened simply because the US market is so big. (Germany is a big CoH market as well). Wow, that's puzzling. Coh 1 - US vs Wehr; Coh 2 - SOV vs Ost; Coh 3 - ~~Brits vs Dak~~ US vs Wehr (???) In light of that, I'd say that it probably was a good decision to include the others at launch, considering that it would basically be received as a blatant ripoff of CoH 1 at that point. And is balance really the reason the game has not met expectations? NO, balance is one of the strengths of the game. In 1v1 and 2v2 yes I agree. There are a lot of factors that hold CoH3 back...Releasing the pc version 6 at least 6 months too early is the main reason. Let's say CoH3 would have been released in September then replay mode incl. caster hud would have been released 3 months after release - acceptable, right? We would have had 4 4vs4 maps after 3 months of release and so on.... For sure In: COH3 Central
