Thread: PCGZine features 4 pages of COH2 goodness6 Dec 2012, 16:13 PM Nice read indeed. Good newb input: It's fun even when you lose. The part about the multiplayer stats features sound very nice to me. That was the biggest and best bit in that article for me. Screenshots of some unknown units( to me at least) like the Elefant and a Brummbär(?) were also nice. I'm still sceptical about unlocks and commanders. In CoHnline this feature was rather weak and opened the door for various imbalances. Overall, thanks for the link and upload! Greets Schepp himself In: News
Thread: Private subforum for beta testers?6 Dec 2012, 11:25 AM While I agree that a combined discussion is not beneficial and inefficient, I don't think it's cool to create an image that there is on the one side the low newb folks and on the other side the venerable experts. To prevent mixing up of different needs of discussion ("OMG, why is the MG so overpowered??!?!" and "the MG build time may be 5 seconds too long, due to...") we could use the different forums (COH2.org and the official forum) or create a well moderated subforum for newb-question as well as an expert discussion. If you delete/redirect (and explain why) unfitting posts, there shouldn't be too much irritation on both sides. Greets Schepp himself In: Lobby
Thread: Private subforum for beta testers?5 Dec 2012, 23:50 PM Wait wait wait people. We are talking about the first closed beta here with only the people who got the code, aren't we?! I don't have any numbers how many people got that code, but I think there won't be too many of them around. So managing them will be rather easy (so no "17 pages of newb-ness"). For the semi-closed pre-order beta, I don't think we need one and only one place to discuss because this second beta won't make such a big difference balance/gameplaywise as the first. Then finally to my last point. Ask yourself this pls: do you want that more people play CoH2 than CoH1? If the answer is yes, then you have to accept that new players will try this game. Even players that haven't played CoH1 or maybe any other RTS game at all. Those players will ask newb question because they are, by definition, newb. Which isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is that a community can act all snobby and elitist and say: "you unworthy pricks have nothing to say here, let the grown ups talk and be quite". This I find highly questionable. Sure, if guys from Reborn and WMD (chosen randomly) talk about the different building orders from a pro-gamer point of view, a post about how "über the T34 is and how nothing can counter it ever!!!1!" is annoying and makes it harder to communicate. You have to remember, though, that not every player is a 5-year vet of CoH. Relic can't only bet on those die hard fans for their community (especially not when we want CoH2 be more famous and e-sporty) and their game. And honestly, I could use some fresh faces around here... So let's use newb opinions for what they are: first impressions by unclouded eyes. Those views are valuable because we won't get back to that point. We will always compare everything in CoH2 to Coh1 ("the resource system was way better in Coh1!" "I can't ketten push, Coh2 sucks! The rifle vs. volks mechanic was better than the gren vs. conscript mechanic! etc. etc.), newbs won't and therefore help us to get a new view on Coh2. Greets Schepp himself In: Lobby
Thread: Private subforum for beta testers?4 Dec 2012, 21:17 PM That would be great. But I think it makes the most sense, as Dane pointed out, to have one and just one place to collect all that info concerning the close beta (opposed to the semi-closed pre-order beta and the possible open beta). I think that the feedback of the close beta testers (aka us) is rather important and can change a lot. So it would be a shame if important info gets stuck because we have a variety of places to discuss these infos... Greets Schepp himself In: Lobby
Thread: Biggest Concern for COH 22 Dec 2012, 21:38 PM That's all nice and dandy, but this thread went from a possible sniper mechanic discussion to a "who is more lead?!"-discussion. Abandoning thread! Greets Schepp himself In: Lobby
Thread: Biggest Concern for COH 22 Dec 2012, 11:00 AM The SC2 analogy is a good one. Imo, you have a heap on stupid work to do (building a lot of building, workers, units). This doesn't add anything to the game other than pumping up the APM-count. On topic, though: The sniper mechanic is rather nice in Coh1, but I think it's good to see camouflage being linked to cover. Cloaked storms, cloaked paks and cloaked M18s were a bit stupid... And I bet with all that weather, ice and true line of sight, the game will be hard enough to master. Greets Schepp himself In: Lobby
