Apart from steering the discussion heavily offtopic, shouldnt you also as a moderator be unbiased? Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2019, 22:22 PMthekingsown10 I noticed this with rangers as well! I dismissed it at first as unlucky rng but after many tests rangers overperform. also topicstarter, why don't you take the time to muster a ontopic reply to all of our earlier ones? Or was it just to troll? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: For the Love Of God M1 Pack Howitzer 11 Jul 2019, 08:51 AM 225 replies. Well done! You are on to something! I'll try to keep this as beneficial to all of us as possible, and I will attempt a well thoughtout, honest but constructive reply in hopes on conveying information that will help us all. your criticism on the Pak howitser encompasses the following Its accuracy is way too high ridiculous AOE damage profile Your final remark was 2 M1 paks will squad wipe everything with zero input from the player building it. Saying something is wrong without offering a proposed fix makes it hard to fully understand what you are trying to achieve here. LI hope you want a constructive discussion about this unit but it seems to me you aren't fully committed to being constructive to begin with. Judging your other replies conveys to me you are more emotionally than logically invested in this matter. I fully disagree with your entire statement. I will list here as unbiased as possible why I disagree. Its accuracy is way too high I somewhat can understand why you would feel this way, The unit does have more accuracy than any other allied mortar counterpart. But going for pak howitsers is a very risky investment for any player involved. The resource drain into going for them is high and it prevents a USF player from giving himself any freedom unit wise. Going pak howitsers can be considered close to an "all-in" It either works or you get rolled over. There seems little middle ground from my experiences. ridiculous AOE Simply untrue. It has a huge spread, not AOE. there is a difference. If i play a game as USF and see my opponents trending towards turtling, blobbing or amassing units then the choice becomes clear, A turtling blobber can expect to be pack howie'd. Why? Because I know you will just turtle and amass units which makes this a good choice. any agressive player or non blobber kills my pack howitsers easily which makes it a very bad (game losing) choice. damage profile I do not know what you exactly mean by this. It does too much damage I assume? I am willing to bet a fair amount that you have been blobbing and you got treated with some pak howitser shots that effectively countered your blob. Regarding the investment both in choice and locking out other tech it seems more than fine to me. 2 M1 paks will squad wipe everything with zero input from the player building it. Simply untrue, as i said earlier the investment in tech and manpower makes it close to a "all in" decision which gives you a unit that is quite easily countered by axis (being more agressive with units, Stuka zu fuss, raketenwerfer, less blob-turtling. In hopes of you reading this and replying in a similar fashion I wish you a good day, sir. In: COH2 Balance

Its accuracy is way too high along with a ridiculous AOE and damage profile. 2 M1 paks will squad wipe everything with zero input from the player building it. I can't even. more than 116 replies and counting. At least you got that going for you.Bravo Oh btw add your playercard and hours played for the full picture please. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Move soviet sniper to T219 May 2019, 18:50 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2019, 18:47 PMSander93 He is talking about Ostheer, not OKW. you are absolutely right. Then what about fausts? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Move soviet sniper to T219 May 2019, 18:18 PM Jump back to quoted post16 May 2019, 00:05 AMSturmTigerVorgo T1 of soviets is way to strong for OH to handle. They have: 1. penals who are too good at vet0 and cheap to reinforce they cost a lot more than the volks you field. 2. scout car that neutralizes the MG & the OH sniper Raketen. 3. sniper that is very strong against 4 men gren squads who already have trouble handling the scout car and penals. Move the sniper to T2 at least please !!! It's ridiculous. The faust upgrade and again Raketen. I had to edit this from here as I mistakenly thought u meant OKW. Fausts do it. If your opponent micro's too much then you need at least a second gren squad or better positioned MG but yeah, throw them in T2. Makes my life easier. (sarcasm) In: COH2 Balance

I understand the concept of free speech and all, but why don't u police just a little bit more and weed these posts out before they settle in?

Thread: Enough is enough, fix the Rifle blobs3 Jan 2016, 08:44 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Jan 2016, 02:01 AMpugzii People should be in top 100 to post on the balance forums, getting tired of these official board kids coming and posting total shit. Thats some logic right there. So just because you are within said group you think revoking the right of speech for people outside that group will make it better and contribute to what you think is a reasoned debate among equals? I'm going to use the same form of reasoning that you did. albeit with a little more backstory. Here it comes. You know, we all hate online cheaters. People that go beyond measure to alter a game in such a way to exploit certain mechanics or alter them so that benefits them providing them with an advantage over their online adversaries. It really implies a how sad a person must be if he or she chooses to cheat in online games. Not? So ill rephrase so you'll understand it. "People who cheat shouldn't be allowed any access to online gaming / forums anymore, getting tired of these script kiddies coming and acting like their opinion still matters" ofcourse this is easy and does not contribute to the discussion at hand any way. But seeing as your reply didn't either it's fair enough to call you out on your bull pudding before you spout off at others yourself. You can't act all high and mighty when you yourself aren't of unimpeachable conduct. Therefor, nullifying everything you say, because who wants to listen what you have to say, right? if you're going to explain your vac ban at the hands of your little brother or "friend" that accessed your account, just save yourself the trouble, just. Don't. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: British are now useless6 Dec 2015, 08:02 AM Thank you for this 'contribution' Dusty, once again you manage to perfectly summarize your caliber in one post. Ontopic: The statistics so far seem to backup that the amount of games won dropped significantly for brits (in every gamemode). It seems like there's a pattern here with patching factions up and overnerfing them later on. So the circle continues... In: Lobby
Thread: Balance Forum suggestion24 Nov 2015, 17:45 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Nov 2015, 10:56 AMDonnieChan i have this (not new) suggestion for the coh2 balance and gameplay forums. in order to post in these forums, your forum account is required to provide a link to your playercard. this will make it a lot easier to sort out people who know what they are talking about. Yes, because by that logic, people without a player card, or people with X amount of hours played can't have an opinion about something game related. As I understand why you have these motives, you are taking this a step too far by saying " sort out people who know what they are talking about". Could you define what makes someone " knowing what they are talking about?" Is " Hours played" the deciding factor here? "Amount of wins"? "Ladder rank"? The coh2.org balance forums are known for their, let me put it mildly, "open ground discourse". Everything gets posted, the usual suspects blend in and throw in their opinions, facts, whatever you may call it. All the different colours of opinions, facts, statements, questions and offtopic responses get thrown together on one big pile and it creates this browny mess which, to be fair isn't what anyone wanted. You can try to filter the mess but in the end the damage has been done and you move on to the next post. In the end, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and freedom of speech makes us able to post whatever we want. If you want a "clean and regulated" discussion on balance you're too late for the coh2.org forums. They can't be saved (that easily) anymore. Oh, don't worry about Relic entertainment being influenced by these tens of thousands of posts regarding game balance, unit balance or faction balance. They won't read most of it, and if they do, it's in their own topics and just to clarify something. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic Appreciation23 Sep 2015, 11:13 AM It seems that indeed relic has stepped up their game. Coincidentally around the period that Cynthia left communication started to be more open, more routine and generally better. Still they have ways to go as Ipkaifung points out (albeit in a bit harsh manner) regarding their dialogue and communication, but at least heaps better than the least year(s) Keep this trend going Relic! We appreciate it! In: Lobby
