Thread: Put beautiful levels from 1 to 2015 Mar 2023, 11:57 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2023, 11:31 AMaerafield This was a thing even in CoH2 for a short while and it got patched out quickly because people would constantly ALT + F4 out of unbalanced games Why would Relic want players to know why they got their stools pushed in? Relic would rather have you uninstall the game. "Wow I just got rekt, this game is unbalanced trash. I guess its back to CS:GO or DOTA2 for me..." A situation that could have been "That person was way better than me I should watch the replay and git gud son." And we get more players in Coh2. Yet another sign Relic has no idea what they are doing. Someone gets dumpstered post a hint saying: - Helpful: "Would you like to review this match to learn the enemy tactics?" - Fun: "HQ has requested we study the enemy tactics with this spy footage!" - Comedic: "Sorry about your butthole. It will heal just give it time." - Dramatic: "Damn it General! We lost a lot of troops out there today! What happened! Watch replay?" - Truthful: "Sorry no one else was playing so we matched you with DevM." Instead we got No REPLAYS and Tactical Pause! Well, I actually like the pause idea so maybe thats a bad example. In: COH3 Central

Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating14 Mar 2023, 22:33 PM Another thought on this topic, What is worse: A) Giving a bad review so people do not buy the game. B) Letting people buy the game then smash them with my premade team. Option B means people paid $60+ for a game they stopped playing the next day because it looks like trash and they got stomped. Which to untrained eyes could mean it is not balanced as well. A) Is 100% Relics fault. B) Was partially Relics fault in Coh2 (dont know about Coh3) and partially the community. So should we be pushing the "dont be a bitch and search solo" narrative more than blaming reviewers? In: COH3 Central
Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating14 Mar 2023, 17:54 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Mar 2023, 16:25 PMVermillion_Hawk Steam and its patch infrastructure I am old school. I always quote Quakes "Its done when its done." But having early access to a game has its draws. We get to play it sooner rather than later. We have more opportunity to guide the devs to making the final game we really want. The community can feel closer to the devs since we have a voice. And it is too good to pass up for the devs. They dont waste another year making a game no one buys. I get it. I can live with some bugs while they get things smoothed out. - But this game has not improved much since last year, which means our "VOICES" have been ignored. - The design choices for UI, feedback, information are completely unacceptable. - The game mechanics that were proven to be bad in Coh2 are back. From what I remember about DOW3, people said the community told them what they wanted and Relic did not listen. I would gladly give this game a good review (because I feel it will be great someday), if not for the three things I listed above. These all say "Relic is not listening to anyone and are clueless to what people want". They deserve to crash and burn. Even though we all want them to excel and continue to make great games in the future. Sadly I have been saying this for the last 2 years, watching Relic is like watching a young mentally handicapped kid trying to do some complicated task. And you are rooting for them, knowing full well they will fail miserably. In: COH3 Central

We topped out at 11271 today (Monday). Like I said, we could be below 10k this week already In: COH3 Central

Except Coh2 numbers have not dropped off that much. So many have not come over. Could be they got Coh2 free and dont want to pay $60+. In: COH3 Central
Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating12 Mar 2023, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2023, 20:20 PMHannibal Why would you say the player numbers were low? The game started at a peak of around 30k players. Now it is down to around 14k on the weekend. 12k during the week. By this coming Wednesday we could be seeing below 10k players. I hoped for a much better start. And at a minimum have the numbers keep going up, not down. As Aerafield said, maybe the single player people played it and left. Maybe the numbers will gradually increase as players become used to the game and venture into MP. Or maybe when the price drops, people will try it out and stay. Hopefully Relic has the bugs worked out by then. All I know is, if I was a manager at Relic and saw this I would not be happy. Crap reviews even by people who love the series and never have anything bad to say, player base starting small and dying fast... I would be sending out resumes fast because my dismissal is right around the corner. I am starting to see longtime Coh2 MP players saying they uninstalled Coh3 already. Streamers are sticking to Coh3 still. So that is a positive sign. It is the future of the game for sure, so that makes sense they would. In: COH3 Central
Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating12 Mar 2023, 20:04 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2023, 18:39 PMGiaA I just can't stand the negativity in this community .... Criticize relic as much as you want, but they are the only ones who can provide CoH. No other studio will create anything close to it. I am borderline retarded. And I made a single player vs AI skirmish WW2 RTS very similar to Coh2 in under 2 months. It was written in UNITY, which I had never used before ever. Had no idea what I was doing. I Purchased 3D models for Trees, Units, and Tanks. Everything else I made by hand in Blender and Q3Radiant. This includes buildings, railroads, textures, the map itself, etc etc ROSBONE MAKES AN RTS Oh and I got kill counters and team colors correct on the first try. So you are saying that a lone monkey like me could build an entire game in 2 months from scratch while a full studio like Relic couldn't do it in 5 years. Any gaming studio could crank out an RTS in a year tops if tasked to do it. This genre is ripe for the taking, if Relic does not get off their pedestals and get to it, I ALONE could take all their customers. I only stopped coding because the next step was network coding so players could 1v1 each other, and I didnt feel it was worth all the effort. Otherwise I would have a complete ready to play game right now you could play for free. Relic and COH3 would be DOA. In: COH3 Central
Thread: The negative user reviews are infuriating12 Mar 2023, 17:19 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2023, 16:35 PMHannibal CoH3's SP is vastly improved, so a higher proportion will play SP only. Is it really though? All I have heard is people saying the campaigns were boring. Which is a real surprise to me since AOE4 looked pretty cool. I assumed they put a lot of effort into the campaigns. AI Skirmish is a joke right now. You cant tell how many kills anything has. The only way to see the end game stats is to play the whole match out. It is not new player friendly at all due to being so unfinished. And these are easy to fix things that should have been done since day 1. When I was writing my RTS I had kills printed as soon as I got infantry moving around and shooting at each other. How did they even test this game without kill counts? As many people know I am an old guy. I grew up in the "games came on floppy disk" days. Actually way before that. You young guys are part of this generation that has an enormous amount of FOMO (Fear of missing out). You were all raised on instant gratification and have not grown out of it yet (will you ever?). Relic knows they can push out an unfinished mess and you crackheads will gladly grab it up. And I get it. Most hardcore fans are just happy to be playing a new version of our favorite series. But Relic dropped the ball here. This is some next level screw up. People keep saying RTS genre is small. I wonder why? If I bought this game and was playing coh for the first time, I would play it a few times and delete it. That is why the low numbers of players on Steam is alarming to me. We are going to be right back to sitting in queue for 10 minutes to get a trash matchup that is not even worth playing. Thanks relic, you are the greatest... at sucking. In: COH3 Central
