Thread: patch 1.8 feed back26 Sep 2024, 10:38 AM We said it at release, it's probably one of the things that's infuriated the game's hardcore playerbase the most. The people charged with delivering a decent sequel at Relic either simply did not have the time, or any interest, in paying attention to many of the subtle quality of life changes and balance additions that eventually helped make the second game rock solid. It is an absolute no-brainer that players should be punished for just dropping airborne units directly into the meat grinder and not at least trying to use them behind the lines, as intended. It's also utterly stupid that certain planes cannot be shot down, yet AA units still waste time shooting at them for no reason. It's been how long now? I'm wondering if the old community balance team wouldn't do a much, much better job at this point. In: COH3 Central
Thread: New roadmap21 Aug 2024, 12:44 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Aug 2024, 00:18 AMdonofsandiego On one hand I appreciate the small amount of well thought out battlegroups, but at the same time, I really liked how the larger amount of commanders made it feel like there were a lot of different strategies to try out with your friends (yes, I am aware that this is a phone number rank thing and that high rank people essentially had like 4 "correct" commanders to choose from anyways). I think you're right Don. Build variety is still pretty good but I do miss having so many commanders to choose from. Hopefully they'll come with time. In: COH3 Central
Thread: New roadmap16 Aug 2024, 14:01 PM Oh shit, you're right. So it is. Doesn't leave much to the imagination does it. So possibly the KT for DAK and Nashorn for Wehr? Wonder if they'll basically just reskin something old for the allies as well. In: COH3 Central
Thread: New roadmap16 Aug 2024, 09:00 AM Hopefully it's not and they've tried to vary things a bit but you might be right. I'd be surprised if the king tiger didn't feature, again. In: COH3 Central

Thread: US paratroopers27 Apr 2024, 07:42 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Apr 2024, 01:14 AMNaOCl I'm well aware of their current role. I think it makes no sense. They fill the same role as SSF. I feel like they should be a stronger close range unit, it makes sense due to them having the m1 carbine. Well, you may end up waiting a long time for that particular change. In: COH3 Central
Thread: What keeps you from enjoying coh3?11 Apr 2024, 11:12 AM Voiceovers and the sound design remain as the biggest disappointment for me and I get the sense that they probably won't ever be quite up to standard, which really sucks as the sound design was genuinely great in the original and really helped set it apart. It's sad to see how little Relic seems to care about it, it's arguably gotten worse with each new iteration of the game. But honestly, in all other aspects it has been gradually improving. I have to give them some credit for that as it was so half-baked on release it was close to an alpha. I hope that it survives long enough to fulfil it's potential. Time will tell I suppose.

Thread: Why no clone8 Apr 2024, 12:08 PM I suppose the RTS as a genre just isn't all that popular. So when those sorts of games do get made nowadays they tend to play it safe and just produce throwback games that imitate the stuff we've all seen before. Either that or we just get boring, low-risk 'remasters' of stuff like Warcraft 3 or Red Alert. Nobody has really dared to try to innovate since. Relic used to do that but as we know, they aren't what they used to be. EDIT: I shouldn't say nobody. Obviously there have been some attempts, they just didn't work out. In: COH3 Central
Thread: whats the reason15 Mar 2024, 16:37 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2024, 12:36 PMKatitof DoW3 was management of relic completely losing touch with playerbases of DoW (DoW1 players are not the same as DoW2 players) and their attempt to cater both spectacularly failed on both fronts, the game had absolutely nothing to do with CoH3 or vice versa. As laid out by Katitof, what little evidence we have suggests that Relic have been in a long slow death spiral for quite some time. They ruined the DoW series but managed to turn out a fairly decent, if unremarkable 'new' Age of Empires game that has probably helped keep them afloat. Tiger is right of course in saying that none of us know the precise reason, we're all just speculating. But for my money it's probably down to a combination of management incompetence (I think they fired and replaced the main guy shortly after COH 3's launch), a much lower budget to develop the game with and the fact that a significant number of the people involved with the original have now moved on to better things.
