Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 5 Jul 2020, 07:34 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2020, 04:46 AMHoverBacon Infantry wandering about after orders, Attack-move is your friend, you should be using A-move more than attack, you shouldn't really be clicking on units most of the time anyway, I understand sometimes you need to focus fire a setting-up MG from time to time though. It's all due to dodgy LoS blockers so make sure you have clear line of sight before issuing direct attack orders. 1) Load up a map with CHEATMODS. 2) Make a set of enemy pios. 3) Give your REs the rifle grenade upgrade. 4) Move REs just to the FOW where they CAN see the enemy. 5) Select the REs and then focus fire the pios. Your REs will walk over to the Pios. Stand there for a second. Then walk around the pios. Then maybe start engaging if your still alive. This is the behavior I see in game. I see this in many games with many units. Sometimes tanks even do it. Like they just cant see the enemy. Sometimes my units will start attacking for 1-2 seconds then move up a few meters and start attacking again. Even though they are only 10 meters away to begin with. It is like they kill the closest model then CANT SEE the enemy anymore. I used to say its the server, but then why is my game drawing the enemy units correctly? In: Lobby

Paradoxically you rail against rng but play the mode that suffers from it the most, by far. Stormjäger is correct though, you should try 3v3. They're just a touch less chaotic and imo the maps for the most part are pretty decent. I do enjoy the game when it lets me play. And I get an enjoyment very few others do in that I get to play on maps that I had a hand in making. Every game I have ever played in 3v3 was cancerous. Most of the maps are not made for 3v3. If they are too small or narrow its the same MG+mortar fest as 4v4. And if the map is too big, it becomes make giant blob and 2v1 someone. I think the coded RNG factors in the game are good and make it fun. Especially to watch. But some games you dont get to actually play. The server decides you are going to lose and there is nothing you can do about it. And my earlier posts are saying that this it not the coded RNG factors. There is something else going on with server timings or traffic. In: Lobby
Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 5 Jul 2020, 07:07 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2020, 04:46 AMHoverBacon Without trying to sound like a pretentious arse: There is no bad luck in CoH, only bad play. This is completely wrong. That is the OP and my point. Just an hour ago I ran some pios up on a sniper. They did ZERO damage. I chased it around shooting it for about 10 seconds closing the distance on it the whole time ...ZERO FUCKING damage. NONE! I test in cheatmods, pios cause 10-15% health on first volley. By second volley they are closer and do even more damage. But in the live game...let me repeat this for you guys... ZERO FUCKING DAMAGE! That is not some bad roll of RNG. And it has nothing to do with skill. And this shit happens to me EVERY FUCKING GAME. So the main point is what do you do to mentally accept the fact that the game is broken as all hell and continue trying to enjoy it. Goosefraba. Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2020, 04:46 AMHoverBacon If an enemy mortar is hitting you with laser-guided-nazi-uber-shellen, especially if he doesn't have line of sight, you're unit is probably stood in a place that people predictably stand in. You did not read my post clearly enough. Enemy mortars sniping me thru FOW on the move. My mortar cant clear a static not moving MG after 50 volleys that is in plain sight. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Campaign Speedrun auto-split support for LiveSplit4 Jul 2020, 22:56 PM Thanks! I started writing an app to watch this for Olvadi. But I am very happy that some one good wrote it up! I bow to your greatness sir! In: Campaign & Co-op

Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 4 Jul 2020, 21:19 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2020, 20:35 PMBaba i think that was never in question but people feel more comfortable hiding behind 3 other players. takes some pressure off their own shoulders HOW TO MITIGATE RNG FROM THE GAME Sorry guys, but we are getting off topic. The main post was about coping with RNG. I was just laying out some RNG scenarios to help nail down what it is that is frustrating and can it be fixed. For my troubles I feel server lag causes many issues, so in the past I have tried different network things like Wifi, hard wired etc. I used to get better results by making my phone a WiFi hotspot to see if I can get a better server time from my phone carrier versus my internet provider. But the last time I tried that, it was just as bad as my provider. For me personally I go into each game knowing I will get screwed and will lose. So I just try to enjoy the little moments. And of course the few times you play with a random team and it all goes right and everyone is having fun is a big payoff for me. I also tend go full VonIvan and just keep saying "I like Pizza" in my head as I play. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 Campaign Speedrun auto-split support for LiveSplit4 Jul 2020, 21:00 PM Janne, I noticed three entries in the LOG file for missions: Code 17:55:40.88 GAME -- Scenario: DATA:scenarios\sp\coh2_campaign\m08-tiger_hunting\tiger_hunting 17:56:09.95 PerformanceRecorder::StartRecording for game size 4 18:07:54.14 PerformanceRecorder::EndRecording - game size=4, max average=0.045077, worst frame=0.010000 Which entry are you using to start the timer? It seems like the STARTRECORDING entry would be the correct one, but the GAME -- SCENARIO entry gave closer times to the test plays I had looked at. PS Amazing work as always! In: Campaign & Co-op
Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 4 Jul 2020, 19:40 PM I hope people dont see my posts as complaining. My point is not all players have the same experience. And to maybe help figure out what the cause of that is by talking about it. So L2P is funny and all, it does not help the other players out there with similar experiences. Because I want to have a good fun community playing the game I love. And if people are deleting the game for these reaons, that is not good. In: Lobby
Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 4 Jul 2020, 19:35 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2020, 19:25 PMBaba so in short, homing missiles exist. thanks we finally sorted things out myself and other people said it houndreds of times over the last couple of years: if RNG decides to kill your units, it will bend reality to do so The response: "reeeeeeeeeeeee thats not how scatter workds reeeeeeeeeeeeee" LUL Yes I agree with the idea if the server has decided, you are done. Your shit is dead. Play vCOH and watch the projectile paths veering, turning, going up and down following the terrain. If it rolls the dice and you are dead, you are dead. The plays you do to avoid or minimize the damage are irrelevant. I can even predict when it starts to happen. Right in the middle of a match, your units just stop being effective. And I have said 100 times on streams..."Uh oh, we are done. This is over" when I notice that shift begin. And about 85% the time, the game is over very soon after. That is not random or lucky guessing. In 4v4, you can hope your mates are doing OK and you may come out of it. But in a 1v1 scenario, your army will lose too much to ever come back. GG. In: Lobby
Thread: Burnout and Dealing with RNG Frustration 4 Jul 2020, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jul 2020, 11:16 AMT.R. Stormjäger Play 3v3, it’s much better and people drop much less frequently. I appreciate the help. But my goal is not to play anymore. Just try to make the game better for the people who do play. Thus, make maps, wrote MakoCELO, and play as RestartCoh2EveryGame. And maybe the mod tools are next? I am poor, but still try to donate to tourneys etc. Since my RNG is so bad, I have no idea about balance. Because to me all of my units have a 0-30% of winning against any enemy. But from experience I will chime in that OKW sucks in 4v4. No smoke, no mortar, no snares, no MGs = gg against any good opponent. Like I always say 85% of COH2 is the best game ever made by far, and 15% is the absolute worst game ever made. In: Lobby
