Thread: Can we get rid of Bayeux?4 Dec 2019, 14:01 PM I am not saying it should be done or even needs to be done, but Spanky could easily push the bases together a little bit to achieve a distance like 230m - 240m. That distance plus the distances to key points would make this similar in size to crossroads. Some players like small fast action maps, some like larger maps where you can play a little slower and methodical. I do not play 1v1 so I do not have an opinion. Guessing by the number of plays Bayeux is getting, the community will probably be split. Just a guess. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we get rid of Bayeux?4 Dec 2019, 05:45 AM Bayeux is currently the longest map in rotation, measuring from one base to another at about 319 meters. Its important side to side distances are very close to crossroads: Distance between fuels 216m vs 231m Distance between farthest VPs: 191m vs 183m The most popular maps are usually maps where the bases are closest: Faymonville, Vilshanka, Crossroads, Nexus, Langreskaya. Note that Kholodny is 279m base to base and was used recently in a tourney. NOTE: Bayeux was the 6th most played map when the early stats came out. So it is getting a fair amount of play for being a new 1v1 map. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Keeping Teamers Separated In Automatch From True Randoms 3 Dec 2019, 20:15 PM The problem is each NEW team has no rank. So you get great premade teams smashing low rank players. The matchmaker needs to try to gather a sampling of ranks for each team player. But there is no easy way to do it. It needs to look for any rank in that mode (or similar mode) and use that as a starting point. So if playing 3v3, ranks in 3v3 should be averaged for each player then averaged among them to get a base ELO. If no 3v3 ranks are found then 2v2 and 4v4 could be averaged. But many people only play on premade teams so this will not work for them. At this point the server would need to search all similar mode team ranks and maybe take 50% of the team rank as a starting point. The best suggestion I have heard is from Duffman, where the team suggests what rank they want to start getting games at. And the server adjusts from that starting point. Because getting 5 minute noob smash games is not fun for good players either. In: Lobby
Thread: Stats from the WCS 20192 Dec 2019, 19:34 PM I am noob, but I think Grand Offensive was chosen every time due to having 0 CP snares and Tiger. That commander lets you counter everything a SOV player can throw at you start to finish. In: Lobby
Thread: Map crashing after arty use.30 Nov 2019, 20:50 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2019, 20:43 PMblvckdream I think I have this bug in my map too. It crashed when a B4 shell landed in a certain spot. How did you go about fixing it? Depends on where it landed. Where exactly did it land? In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: (4) Taman Peninsula30 Nov 2019, 18:14 PM I did not get a chance to play it yet, but the territory/points image on steam does not show the VPs. I assume they are middle and between the fuel+munition? In: Map Sharing

Thread: Map veto stats (v4)29 Nov 2019, 22:10 PM I did not look close enough to the map stats at first, but looking deeper: The 1v1 map pool seems to be the most balanced for plays at the moment. Casually browsing SPECTATE, I see this as well. Most maps are being played and the ratio from least played to most played is pretty close. 2272(most) to 1387(least) games played. Almost a 2:1 ratio. The 4v4 map pool is the farthest off due to community hate for Vielsalm. Here we have 4903(most) to 876(least) games played. Which is almost a 5:1 ratio. It guess it could be argued that the 1v1 maps are closer because they are ALL bad. But the top few maps get a lot of love so I would disagree. As we speak there are several mappers working on new 1v1 maps. But we really could use more 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 maps. I think Wuffya said he had a plan for a 2v2 and 4v4 possibly. Kpens new 1v1 could be made into a 2v2 map. RickieRifle is working his magic on a 1v1, maybe stamp it into a 2v2? If anyone in the community has any thoughts or wishes, check those maps out and speak your mind. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: How do you make wrecked vehicles not salvagable?29 Nov 2019, 21:51 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Nov 2019, 16:38 PMblvckdream But if you get 5 free fuel in the first minute it makes a difference for LV timing. And then the object isn't there anymore and you don't have cover. (i know u arent serious, not sure why I wrote this) I just brought it up to debate the idea of having them in the first place. I assume you are working a new 1v1 map where this would be critical. Is it okay to have salvageable objects as long as they are balanced? One on each side of the map, etc. Or just never use them ever? Thoughts? PS: The 1v1 pool is currently very strong as far as playable maps. Mean while there are several people making 1v1 maps. What we really need are 2v2 and 3v3 maps. {hint}{hint} In: Mapping Discussion
