Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch25 Nov 2020, 20:19 PM Here are my ideas for some minor OKW commander improvements: Scavenge doctrine: "Thorough Salvage" out, replaced by "Captured weapons": Works like the standard weapon drop, would provide us mortar / 1 Bar (up for discussion) The new ability would fit well to the theme and be a lot more useful than "Thorough Salvage" Fortress doctrine: - Pak43 and LeFh merged to "Heavy support weapons": Jibber already suggested this in his wehr commander proposals - new ability: Ambush Camouflage In: COH2 Balance
Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch25 Nov 2020, 19:31 PM I havent give up hope that the useless "Thorough Salvage" will finally be replaced with a useful ability. Besides that I hope that some off meta commanders get some love, there are plenty of good ideas in the threads. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why aren't there team game tournaments?24 Nov 2020, 16:52 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2020, 07:37 AMLegioxRoma I would say apart from Currahee and Olvadi who really trust 2v2 potential nobody care that much. "1v1 is also considered the main game mode" you're right, but why? what makes it so special? When we compare to some bigger competitive games like age2 what i see is that most of tourneys are a mix: there's 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and even 4v4 all togheter. Casters have no problem to catch actions on 4v4 too even if i understand it's easier to lose some actions though. Dont take me wrong: 1v1 is good, i would like only to see more love in 2v2 as well. Whatching other rts that already made the big step to competitive scene would help a lot. There're so many ideas from Hidden Cup to, as i said, mix tourneys. P.S let's hope this map patch gonna bring some adjusdment to 2v2 map pool +1 I enjoy the 1v1 tourneys but the mode is also the least popular mode in the community. I would agree that we should have more team tourneys. What I would like to see: A CoH Ryder Cup - 2 (or 4) Team captains chosen by the community / organizers - captains can select players for their teams - All game modes are played in the tourney: 3 1v1, 2 2v2, 1 3v3 match, 1 4v4 - for every won match the team get a point - players can only play 1 game mode I think this could bring a lot more excitement for the community: Team captains had to decide who they pick and in which game mode the players have to play. Team chemistry would also be important. And all game modes would be represented not only one. In: Lobby

Off meta commanders BUFF This would be a dream come true. We have so many commanders which are barely / not played at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch22 Nov 2020, 14:23 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2020, 13:21 PMHannibal This is very nice. However, I hope that they fully plan on at least two patches. The way AE phrased it made it sound like a major rework targeting core issues of the factions. Obviously there will be strong need for readjustments afterwards, no chance that the changes all hit the nail on the head first try. Agreed! I would like to see 2 patches: 1. The first should tackle over performing units like the SU-152, 5 men grens etc. That could be done relatively fast and give the team the chance to see how the changes pan out. 2. The second bigger patch should focus on core issues of the factions. I would also love to see some commander related changes too: Nerfs to Su-152 commanders and Jaeger Armor for example and small changes / buffs to completely under performing commanders.

Thread: Why Relic Needs to Stop Listening to the Community21 Nov 2020, 13:12 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2020, 12:57 PMLetzte Bataillon Whenever I go through the patch changelog I am amazed at the amount of broken ideas and mechanics that the player balance team has turned into interesting and viable choices. [...] Finally, COH2 is still the most asymmetrically balanced RTS out there. The amount of different playstyles, builds and doctrines for each army is astounding. There's always something new to try. Take a look at the popular Age of Empires series so far: It's always the same gameplay with tiny differences no matter what civilization you pick. The fact that by any metric COH2 with its complexity is so balanced (win rate differences are tiny) is a testament to the work of Relic's developers and the community balance team. +1 In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 64 bit beta for coh218 Nov 2020, 18:53 PM Sturmpanther quoted a Relic Post: It should be released late November, so hopefully we get it at the end of next week week. I really hope that Relic allows us a balance patch after the update. In: Lobby
Thread: Chaos Kreig16 Nov 2020, 15:08 PM Commander Terminator = Great idea, lets do it again 250 VP mode = bad idea, pls never again. Late game factions will never be used in such a format; commanders with early call-ins are super strong. Honestly, I really dont want to see it again. In: Lobby
