Thread: An open letter to the CoHmmunity about rebroadcasting4 Apr 2018, 14:27 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Apr 2018, 13:05 PMStormless This is a good discussion to have. I wouldn't say that nothing good is going to come out of this because we as organisers are speaking out about how we feel about this. The most important thing is that instead of this 'unspoken code of conduct' we have opened a debate so everyone can have their say about it. Following all the points here. Rules will be updated, guidelines will be established and sanctions created to ensure that situations like this are clear cut when someone breaks the rules. This is exactly what I hoped would come of this discussion and poll I created (against my will). TOs could get a feel for what the community wants and create some rules posted on this site somewhere in the streaming area. To go even further there could be an official COH2.ORG seal that could bee added to your broadcast to help create a place where viewers/streamers could get to this information easily. In: Lobby
Thread: COH2 STREAMER ETIQUETTE4 Apr 2018, 05:08 AM For MMA fans, Joe Rogan routinely does a podcast during a UFC event. He is just chatting with friends as THEY watch. None of the broadcast is shown or heard in the podcast. So it is a casual party atmosphere. This seems like a possible option for COH2 streamers. This would allow for viewers to hang out, to hear the streamers thoughts, AND would encourage them to watch the original tournament stream. I also like this approach because my Inet sucks. And sometimes I can not watch multiple streams. So I could have audio/chat only from the streamer and full broadcast of the tourney. More available options for everyone. In: Lobby
Thread: COH2 STREAMER ETIQUETTE3 Apr 2018, 23:34 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Apr 2018, 23:31 PMA_E Rosbone this poll misses the mark horribly, I don't think you've fully read the thread have you? This is not about the Stormless thread. But the thread touched on streaming during others broadcasts. And I thought some of that would get hashed out in the Stormless thread, but it got locked before any good could come of it. EDIT: And Hans has an even greyer twist in that he is a variety streamer. So many of his viewers may never watch the tournament anyway. They tune in for Hans only. In: Lobby
Thread: COH2 STREAMER ETIQUETTE3 Apr 2018, 23:31 PM A great part of this community is how the streamers seem to support each other. But the area of streaming during a tournament is a grey area. Some people frown on a large streamer streaming during a tournament. Some do not care. I would like to see the continued support where large streamers step down when a tournament is on. But it gets grey again if there are tournaments every weekend and they run for long periods of time. As this cuts in to prime time streaming. I am curious what the community as a whole feels.

Thread: The matchmaking in this game is horrid1 Apr 2018, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Apr 2018, 17:07 PMPanzerKampf I don't really get the hate for RNG. Real life also has RNG if you think of it. Nothing is perfect. The problem is Relics version of RNG. It is not random at all. If you are playing and can predict what is about to happen, it is not random. Relics RNG focuses on drastic changes in game dynamics. Planes always land on your army. Mortars sniping your units outside the FOW. Mortars landing no where near their target so they can blow up a mine you just laid. You pen a tank every time until the tank starts to retreat, then nothing will pen ever again (always at around 5% health it becomes invulnerable) etc etc etc As I said, the RNG gives the game a lot of replayability. Which is great. But it also drives a lot of players away from the game because there is too much "RNG". In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The matchmaking in this game is horrid1 Apr 2018, 15:34 PM "The matchmaking in this game is horrid" No this is where your logic broke down. The game is horrid. So no one plays it and therefore there is no one to play against. Thus, the match making is bad. "There isn't another game on the market like COH 2 atm." I agree. As I state all the time, 95% of this game is amazing. Playing army at a decent pace with just the right amount of micro, base building, etc. Fantastic. Then unbalanced factions, RNG, and limited maps create boredom. Learn the meta for your army, the weaknesses of the other army, and then where and when to attack the map. Rinse and repeat. The only thing to stem the boredom is RNG. So then you are not playing your opponent anymore you are playing the game. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: How would you change coh 2?1 Apr 2018, 06:33 AM 1. NERF THE SHIT OUT OF THE MORTAR AND ARTILLERY!!! Manual barrage only with huge scatter that dials in after each shot. Complete no brainer here. WTF? 2. Fix the map objects that block sight. Some bushes do some dont. And when you put them all together in a bunch TrueSight falls apart fast. Sight blockers need to be obvious. 3. Fix the buildings with no windows that people can shoot into but you cant shoot out of. 4. Return the COH1 resources options Low, Mid, High, etc. Some maps have points so far apart there is no reason to take them. This leads to camping. Could help team game maps as well. 5. Fix the "server decided you die" code. COH decides the outcome then plays it out regardless of the players interactions. You dodged that Katy barrage? Too F'ing bad your shit got rekt! Too much of this game is out of the players control. If an FPS can be played over the inet, I think you can actually let projectiles travel a random path and see what happens. Instead of imposing the "this is what we decided" so the projectile turns 45 degrees mid flight to kill you. 6. Make it more obvious that 1 or 2 models cant see the enemy they are targeting. It looks so bad when 3 guys are in a heated gun battle and guy #4 is smoking a cigarette because a leaf is in his way for sight. Maybe blink the guy or put a small icon on his head. It would be best if they actually moved into a fighting position but that is some tough code to write. 7. Get rid of the "a vehicle is driving around so I cant shoot now" code. I would rather a tank phases thru my army and still gets snared than have a high priced squad all upgraded that never shoots??? 8. Maybe add a third status bar for units that fire slowly so you know when they are going to shoot. 9. Nerf snipers health a little. And remove 2 man sniper team. Again, no brainer. vCOH snipers felt more squishy, less tanky. Maybe reduce cost a little. 10. Variety. The different factions keep the game fresh. But some of the maps are just no fun to play after the weaknesses are found. Rotate maps in/out of the game more frequently. Have a voting system in place (Count vetoes on the server maybe) so the really bad maps are removed/fixed. Cycle could be add, fix 3 mos later, remove if vetoed by all factions frequently.

Thread: Penetration system27 Mar 2018, 14:01 PM Has anyone mentioned the "random" way Relic tends to choose the worst case scenario for things as well. And that no matter what you due to avoid them, you can not. 1. An example would be the way a plane always lands on your HQ or army. 2. A recently killed vehicle will drive 50 meters to blowup on the mines you planted earlier. 3. Artillery/barrages that should be randomly scattered, land directly on your shit every time. 4. Your MG will not suppress a unit that is headed to grenade the building it is in. Even though they are crossing RED cover. As soon as the grenade is tossed, they get suppressed. vCOH was notoriously bad for this. Red smoke appears. You run away. You die anyway even though you are 300 meters from the smoke. I always pointed at the networking code for this issue. The dice rolls way before the event. And then it just shows you what it "decided" would happen. Even though you out played it and escaped. In vCoh the decisions were made like 10 - 15 seconds before the event. COH2 it seems to be a smaller number, but the horrible code still exists. And it needs to be fixed. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Possible map 1v1 removal25 Mar 2018, 02:51 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Mar 2018, 02:44 AMTric 2-3 of these maps are worthy. 2 because of one of the threes atmosphere being to hard on the toasters many play on. In only takes a minute to turn off rain or snow and instantly have good playable maps. Except maybe revert that one back to only a single cutoff In: COH2 Balance
