"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.”

Thread: Why listening to the community isn't always good.31 Aug 2023, 15:53 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2023, 15:17 PMRosbone One X factor to think about in the 2 faction scenario is how many people have complained that there is no Italian faction. I can envision a boycott of a 2nd DLC that did not include Italians. Certainly something to consider. Jump back to quoted post31 Aug 2023, 15:42 PMOKSpitfire Or perhaps the game's budget (relatively speaking, as I know the costs of development are only getting more bloated and expensive as time passes) just wasn't large to fully deliver on what was promised? That's probably the case. The lackluster nature of the current "roadmaps" just made me wonder if it was originally where the release of OST and US was supposed to occur. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Why listening to the community isn't always good.31 Aug 2023, 14:50 PM I'm just going to put my thoughts here, because they're starting to get a little too long-winded for the shoutbox. Regarding the title; I heard that the decision to release CoH 3 with 4 factions and 2 campaigns was a decision that was made at the behest of urging from the first wave of the community council members (thanks Smartie). Now I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus, because at the end of the day, Relic were the ones who ultimately decided to acquiesce to the suggestions, and any of the speculation I'm about to engage in falls squarely at their feet, not the community people. (After all, the only people who can gauge whether or not they're able to pull something off whould be the higher ups) HOWEVER, I think that what we are seeing may be a symptom of Relic mistakenly listening to the community when they should have stuck with their plans. What do I mean? Well, let's just imagine an alternate universe where CoH 3 releases with 2 factions. Number one, balancing is relegated to one faction versus another. Simplicity. The difficulty of balancing a unit is not multiplied by a plurality of faction designs and units it has to contend with. Number two, a more positive initial reception. Maybe if the Brit and DAK matchup (NOTE: Apparently, Relic's genius idea was to rehash the US vs Wehr matchup for coh3's release, so keep that in mind) had some more love and attention, and bugfixing in general, the game wouldn't have gotten the bad reviews it recieved (and rightfully so, outside of our pleasant hypothetical realm. Sorry to burst your bubble 1v1 and 2v2 players) Number three, actual post-release hype. With only two factions on release, but with two factions coming in the very near future, players would have something to actually look forward to and give them an incentive to pay attention to the game. And that flows into number four, the big one imo, income for Relic. Yes, I think I would have bought DLC for CoH 3 if its release wasn't so shit poor. I may very well have bought a US and OST expansion. And I think that goes for a lot of people. Maybe that would have given Relic some much needed post-launch gas to keep going. All in all, I personally wonder how much of the post release content drought would have been alleviated by the release of the US and OST factions post launch, and if fast tracking those factions are what caused the drought in the first place. As always, thank you for reading my rant. In: COH3 Central

Did you mean they were left exclusively in one game, that being CoH 2? I honestly didn't know there were ways to immobilize tanks in CoH 1. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Fuck it, CoH 204222 Aug 2023, 09:16 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Aug 2023, 05:13 AMRosbone I was hoping for COH3: Dinosaur Wars. Would be great if anyone on this planet was as smart or cool as John Carmack. Then we could build our own games on the Coh engine. Bro that reminds me of Dino Crisis on the Dreamcast. Nowhere near what you're talking about but that's the last good dinosaur game I remember. I played Turok but it was meh. In: COH3 Central
Thread: is the coh3 game designer is a spy of coh2?20 Aug 2023, 23:26 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2023, 19:58 PMVermillion_Hawk It's unlikely that anyone who feels the need to talk about sex like that has ever had it with an adult human, much less a woman. Ergo suum. I prefer Occam's Razor. I think the least complicated explanation is not that Katitof is secretly talking about sex with adult women because he's actually thinking about the opposite, but instead that the one making accusations is simply projecting In: COH3 Central

And after 6 months we still were not given a crutch, wheels, or a fake leg to help him walk. So we dont play with him. Instead we watch others drag him around the yard by his neck while pining abut how cool that pony would have been. Plus dad won't even let us use the shiny new power tools in the shed to make our own fake doggie legs for the poor little pup, only his old, broken down crap tools. In: COH3 Central
Thread: COH3 needs a redesign before it is dead20 Aug 2023, 01:00 AM CoH3 needs alien faction and zombies gamemode. I want to see little grey men airdropped from tractor beams. Have something goofy. Maybe just release a spinoff title on the same engine to recoup some costs of developing CoH 3. Honestly, I think I've had enough of the gritty WW2 aesthetic man, silly and vibrant is in. People already think CoH 3 looks like a mobile game. Fucking own it. Do a goddamn crossover with fortnite LMFAO (kidding, please no). It's either change gears and generate some publicity (even bad publicity), or Relic really needs to dig in their heels, grit their teeth, and put out some damn content. Probably neither, but one can dream. In: COH3 Central
