Thread: Lienne Forrest31 Jul 2018, 04:56 AM Everything all in one picture that needed fixed: 1. (BLUE) North MG areas(GREEN) were easier to flank. Added new path for south flank. 2. South had very little space for late game. Grove removed (YELLOW). 3. Both North bunkers had sight blockers. Northern most removed to closer mimic the southern sight blocker (PURPLE). North and South MG areas closest to VP(RED) are easiest to flank. 4. North did not have a enough space for an MG to hold by the west Munition passages. Grove size(PINK) reduced to give more sight and increased distance to travel for northern MG. 5. Cleaned up pathing allows for light vehicles and large AT weapons to get thru the forest lanes better. 6. The NORTH western based flanks (RED) are still slightly longer. 7. Added treeless pockets around VP for bunkers. A) The river is red cover and favors the North by Munition and south by the VP. Balanced? B) One of the Norths paths is all river (red cover). It is still the forrest, so grab your blobs and pitch forks and go find Shrek In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch31 Jul 2018, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2018, 00:58 AMWhiteFlash I agree this is the devils advocates position and approaching ideas as such, its just a very weak position I dig the devils advocate approach thanks Rosbone All arguments have pros and cons. I just try to get all the ideas out there so you smart guys can get it figured out from everyones perspective You will also see me on here asking for transparency when these decisions get made. But it is hard to criticize when someones doing the work for free and Relic is at least letting the community make the game better. So I don't bark too much In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch31 Jul 2018, 00:54 AM Data is great. It tells you some very cool things. DEVILS ADVOCATE It does not tell you who is vetoing the maps. There is a large range of player skill involved in the data. And there are players, like myself, who tend to not veto any maps until they have played them enough to find something they don't like about them. And that something may have nothing to do with balance. Balanced or not, sometimes a map is just not fun to play on. Only the top 200 players (level 16) can truly speak to balance as they have played and strategized enough against players of their own caliber to get valid results. But even these players may not know why the map works. They just know how to get around its flaws in a way that fits their play style. I think the poll represents these things: - What Relic thinks needs to be removed? - What the "inner circle" wants removed? - (The vote) What the community feels when they play these maps? - No one has offered any reason/desire to improve these maps? There is one good reason to keep KFW. If the mods made to the summer version are disliked, players can veto the summer version and continue playing on the unmodified winter version.

Thread: The Utterly Atrocious Vehicle Pathing30 Jul 2018, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2018, 21:10 PMferwiner That one is clearly a problem with refusing to use reverse button. I never use the reverse button. I click reverse in the menu. Then COH2 dicks me because the UI needs fixed. I click on the button but am moving fast so I may drift off the button as my mouse button comes up. When coding there are two events you catch MOUSEDOWN and then MOUSEUP. For a program like MS WORD you want to use MOUSEUP to make sure the user is on the button when the mouse is released. For a game you want the MOUSEDOWN event because the user is moving at a frantic pace. COH2 UI uses the MOUSEUP event, not the MOUSEDOWN event. Needs fixed for COH3. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Utterly Atrocious Vehicle Pathing30 Jul 2018, 21:10 PM Another thing that messes you up is when a tank targets some other unit than the one you want it to. So it just starts spinning towards that target. Pay attention to your VEHICLES ONLY button. The only time I would call this a bug is when it targets units that are not in the game anymore, like the last guy running off the field when his team weapon is killed. You tank starts pointing away from the front lines and gets rekt shooting at a phantom unit In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Utterly Atrocious Vehicle Pathing30 Jul 2018, 20:46 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2018, 18:09 PMNosliw Are we playing different games? We must be because I have all of the same issues thekingsown10 has Some days I have more lag than others and when I do my vehicles go where ever they want almost like I am watching someone else play the game. I attribute the different scenarios to: - Network lag. Long lag means your vehicle is somewhere else when it gets your commands. - Seems like you click behind a vehicle and it may back up. Click again and it tries to turn around. As InsaneHoshi said try to only click once or use the backup key. Clicking behind a vehicle is no guarantee it will back up. - As A.Soldier refers to, COH2 has more elegant code for vehicles and units. They try to get out of each others way in a realistic manner, as opposed to glitching/phasing thru each other. Sometimes the moving may conflict with what you are trying to do. I do not know what causes the MG pointing the wrong way bug. I see it the most on units that I send a fair distance to setup. My guess is something blocked them from getting to the desired setup position so they just drop where they are when they get "lost". Or perhaps the command did not make it from server to host in time (lag) so they just stop and drop. Both of these things are game changing when they happen. Try to notice more of what is going on around the unit and where exactly did you click. Did your mouse double click? Did you have lag? Was another unit coming thru the area at the same time?

Thread: Lienne Forrest30 Jul 2018, 20:01 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2018, 09:45 AMSturmpanther ok, so this map is now finally ready to go?^^ Time is running away. I will keep fixing things to you tell me to shtaaaap (8) Rosbone Forrest (v3) 1. Replaced a grove object with a custom made grove area to balance the distance between grove and optimal MG placement. The north grove(GREEN) was larger so it was much easier to overwhelm the north MG. 2. Balanced out the right VP territory(PURPLE). Also did some further path optimization and created empty positions for possible MG bunker placement(GREEN). Rotated sight blockers down narrow stream for better sight. Removed small tree sight block by northern MG bunker. In: Summer patch 2018

You could not sink there. It was a mix between ice and land. Because it got fixed in DBP. But it looked better imo. I do not think you will sink there. It is considered more of a puddle, swamp, or shoreline area. Both of these locations are good spots to build MG bunkers for the north. But you can not. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch30 Jul 2018, 00:32 AM I am not a fan of duplicate maps so Kholodny Winter is my pick to go. EDIT: We can probably fix Minks,Minsk,Mikns more than we can make KFW not be KFS. In: Summer patch 2018
