Thread: Replay Feedback for December Balance Patch5 Nov 2017, 00:12 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Nov 2017, 19:03 PMelchino7 Regarding demos, i was thinking the other day: 1-Demos are revealed visually at 10 range by any enemy unit. 2-Demos are not targetable unless a minesweeper is in range. 3-Remove death crit, reduce OTK zone but spread damage. Demos as booby trap on garrison is fine. Same if use on cover or concealed behind objects. On the other hand, if they are in the middle of the road or in the open...Someone paying attention will avoid them. Maybe make demos visible at range 10 if not in yellow or green cover, and targetable by anything that can see it. This would help with the worst abuses like demos in the open by a VP. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH3 Pacific ?5 Nov 2017, 00:08 AM It wouldn't be fun - one side has a super-sim city, the other has to assault through mud or jungle using mostly infantry. Forget any significant tank battles. Off-map 16 inch battleship support might be interesting (in a Sittard summer kind of way). In: Lobby
Thread: StarCraft II go F2P, should Coh2 be free 2 play too?4 Nov 2017, 04:38 AM If they do a F2P, it should only be for the single player version. Every time they have a F2P weekend, people load up multiplayer without even knowing how to build tiers and then expect other players to tell them how to build stuff. Make single player comp stomps be F2P, but have campaigns and automatch be paid add-ons. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Commanders revamp - December patch1 Nov 2017, 02:44 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Oct 2017, 09:46 AMnigo They said: IMHO 2 commanders for Soviets and Ostheer is not enough. What are your choices for this revamp? The bad Ost and Soviet commanders are mostly just different combinations of a few underwhelming abilities. The balance team could fix about a dozen abilities and it would make most of those commanders viable. Feuerstorm (sp) for OKW needs help in anything but a city map, so does Overwatch. Mechanized and Recon support for USF are the worst. Airborn needs help also and could be fixed easily (lower CP on paratroopers, make P47 hit something smaller than a KT, maybe morph pathfinders into more of a support role) In: Lobby

Thread: Relic about December patch1 Nov 2017, 02:37 AM Looking at the patch notes, the approval rating of this patch is also likely to be 60%. What will change is the groups that like it or hate it. Before coh2 Charts and Statistics went offline, it was showing somewhere around a 80% axis win rate in 2v2 and above, which is what everyone currently bitching about the upcoming patch really wants. Being a mostly USF player, I hated the last patch when it first came out. I don't play much anymore but UKF is playable if I have to and my friends will now play Axis (must be the cool uniforms).

Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)27 Oct 2017, 18:52 PM When do people play this? I play occasionally in the evening Pacific time and haven't seen anyone playing this. I tried a couple comp-stomps and it seems better than the live version but would like to play real games on it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Survey about CoH2 future21 Oct 2017, 02:29 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Oct 2017, 19:42 PMWygrif All this talk of of customized load outs/armies/commanders scares the shit out of me. If this stuff makes it on the ladder we will all be eating a ton of salty cheese. I like this idea. Think of having OKW with Panzerfusiliers, resource drop, Stuka Dive Bomb (should really increase the radius of death critical to something like 200), and Stuka CAS (Loiter). Would be lots of fun and balance wouldn't be much worse than live version. Relic probably has very little income from COH2 now and won't spend much time with it, survey or not. I also didn't get one, so apparently owning two copies of the game isn't enough to get a survey. If Relic wanted to make the game fun, they should've limited the number of indirect fire units per player, nerfed all armies off map abilities (instead of just USF), then made small regular tweaks to stats until armies were balanced.

Thread: Time to ban people that don't surrender3 Jul 2017, 02:58 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jul 2017, 02:40 AMLuciano These kinds of posts are masterpieces, please dont invise it I'd put the over/under on how long until the thread is locked at 3 hours from now, long enough for one of the Europe-based mods to see it.

Thread: Relic won't accept to change to the game that much. 1 Jul 2017, 20:20 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jul 2017, 17:00 PMvoltardark Even if the changes proposed in mods are logic, Relic won't accept anything massive or anything that change the fundamental nature of a faction. So this is wasted energy. That's sad but rather truth. ..... Hard to guess what Relic will do. They have to see the data with allied factions having the lowest win rate across the board. Even at GCS level, USF had about a 35% win rate if you exclude Luvnest and DevM, and even they abandoned USF in the finals when they were going to face a roughly equal player. I'm not sure if it has affected games played or active players. Relic is fortunate in that there isn't another RTS that is similar (other than Blitzkrieg 3, which is a pile of pudding).
