Thread: Relic and Org need to update their banning policies26 Jun 2023, 20:54 PM RELIC BASED DISCUSSION Another issue with not telling people how long they are banned is the ban is supposed to teach people the rules. This is meant to curb bad behavior and make the community better overall. If someone is malicious and you have given them no term limit on a ban, they could assume they are perma-banned. And once perma-banned, there is no reason for them to stop the bad behavior. And now Relic would have no power to stop their behavior. I still feel it would be best to give a reason and time limit. This encourages bad actors to learn and have a cool down period. If you ban someone and they feel they should not have been banned, they may go into scorched earth mode. "Why be nice now, I was not treated nicely." Counter arguments: - If a person is an asshole enough to go scorched earth, good riddance. But this denies the person a cool down period and a chance to learn and become better at dealing with issues and people. - If someone is told they are perma-banned they will go scorched earth because they have no cool down. By not telling them, they get a small cool down period. Just another random thought. Still trying to see this from all angles. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Tutorial: Reshade for Company of Heroes 226 Jun 2023, 16:26 PM I take it no one has had issues with this being seen a a cheat and being banned. Cool. In: Lobby
Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 25 Jun 2023, 16:31 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2023, 15:10 PMFantomasas Also, Relic's opinion: "The legendary strategy franchise is back! Bigger and better than ever, Company of Heroes 3" I personally went from "Coh3 could fix all the issues and have CELO based functions built in. This is gonna be great!" to "Two maps, a skin store, and now a brand new comp stomp map! Oh boy!!!" My expectations quickly fell to Duffman™ Crippling Depression™ levels. I am clearly a giant idiot. I expected more from Relic. A lot more. In: COH3 Central
Thread: At what point will you come back to Coh3?25 Jun 2023, 12:07 PM I recently sat and thought what exactly is the threshold for many people to start coming back to Coh3. SCENARIO: You are a newly appointed manager at Relic. The game has failed to some extent. What will you focus on now to get people excited to play? If you read Steam, you will probably want to add more content. If you read Steam/Reddit, you will think balance is off. You come here and you may think Coh3 is fine because it is mostly 1v1 player based, which seems to be playable right now. I am a simple 4v4 MP person so my TOP 5 in order: 1) More maps. Community or otherwise. 2) Fix the disappearing stats page. 3) Make kill counts visible, not hover based. 4) Adjust the voice lines so they are not so dominant. 5) Fix the rendering pipeline. Specular lighting, gamma, etc. Relic is having to filter a lot of noise right now. What do you think is really the problem with Coh3? They seem to have a pretty good handle on things announcing new maps etc. The slow pace has many people worried, but what can you do. In: COH3 Central
Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 25 Jun 2023, 11:52 AM Interesting that the poll in the OP was mostly started out as YES FOR NOW dominated but has been slowly balancing out. In: COH3 Central

I don't know for how long this site lasts before some young blades finally seize the initiative and start their own site with an up-to-date board.(Discord does not count). I was sorry to see you had to leave staff, but I can see why it happened. I appreciate the kind words. I know most people see me as toxic, but it comes from a good place. I would love nothing more than to shut the hell up and play Coh3. And you are right, I hope people are not too beat down from layoffs. In: COH3 Central
Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 23 Jun 2023, 17:36 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2023, 17:12 PMSkysTheLimit The game is dreadful for team game players, gets so boring so quickly. 1v1 is the only viable mode right now, none of the team game modes have enough maps. Including 2v2 Yet, community maps is not even on the list. Wouldn't any competent manager make this #1 priority before release even? If you know you are going to be low on maps and will take time to make some, wouldn't you start making sure you can bring in outside work? Two maps for 3v3 and 4v4? I have seen free download game demos with more content than Coh3 has. This is the thing that sucks the life right out of me even remotely hoping Coh3 will ever be good. There is no one at the wheel with the slightest clue what is going on around them. And the roadmaps are like "The house is completely engulfed in flame so we are going to a pull the kitchen table out and maybe next month the couch". Zero sense of urgency at all. Even after 120 people got let go. I just dont have the words to describe this level of incompetence. Maybe someone can help. In: COH3 Central
Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 22 Jun 2023, 23:46 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jun 2023, 22:12 PMFantomasas Journalists are a joke, so it is up to the people to voice the negativity. This. This is the answer. All of those 8/10 ratings from journalists are complete garbage. There is no one left to hold anyone accountable. Only the negativity of users. To be fair to the journalists, they probably are not hardcore RTS or Coh fans. So I could almost forgive them. And most likely they were told the same lies we were. Its gonna be great, we will fix all of this stuff before release. Not sure how anyone could score 8/10 for an alpha release game. Unless they only played thru the campaign for a few minutes and it didnt crash or bug out. First skirmish or multiplayer you get smacked in the face with a disappearing stats screen. Which has to be the worst bug of all time. Thats like Programming 101 stuff. 8/10. WTF? In: COH3 Central
Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 22 Jun 2023, 17:20 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jun 2023, 16:08 PMFire and Terror Too bad peaple like being negative all the time. You cant even see the final stats page 4 months after release. How can anyone think people are being negative when shit like this exists? The game is clearly not even in alpha stage yet. Most people are just being realistic. Too much easy to fix stuff is still broken or missing. About 20% of reviews I read are just maniacs going off about arcane issues. The bulk of reviews have valid reasons like the game is unfinished. I agree with you and SupremeStefan, for many people the game doesn't have to be 100% done to be fun. And if people are having fun without all of the details that is very cool. Thank you for keeping the game alive. We appreciate your efforts. I continue to hope the player base will grow. For me personally, the Q MODE mod tried to fix the main issues I have. But even that did not work for some things. And that would only fix Custom games. So I still sit on the sidelines waiting.

Thread: I have moved on from Coh3 and i am down for .... 21 Jun 2023, 16:44 PM Most reviews are people who have played the previous games. So you get 4 reviews: - Positive - Game is unfinished but its fun to play. - Negative - Game is unfinished, do not give money for unfinished games. - Negative - Game is trash, missing features, maps, etc. Sucks compared to Coh2. - Negative - Game is trash. Unhinged reason like I lost to Pgrens once. Basically 90% of reviews are a negative reaction. Even the positive reviews. If I was a casual, I would not buy this game after reading ANY reviews. Good or bad. But this off-topic stuff speaks to other games. Another reason why I like to hear what other users are playing. I look at most games, search bad reviews and decide not to buy the game. Even games with a high percentage of positive reviews. There is always one nugget of data that makes me say nope. I miss the good ole days where you bought a game on disc with no option of update. The game had to be good and it never changed. If someone said "Its good" you knew it. Now, it was good 6 months ago but now it has microtransactions out the ass so its trash. So you never know if its good or bad. Do game companies rely on this uncertainty now? Sure, push out some unfinished trash as long as its good eventually we will be fine. In: COH3 Central
