Thread: Ardennes Assault - Steam Preorder soon16 Oct 2014, 14:23 PM No I have no idea about that, no troll. I'm just hoping for it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Ardennes Assault - Steam Preorder soon16 Oct 2014, 09:35 AM Hmm maybe a hint of a future Commander System change? And, as much as I love airborne company, this game cannot be called Company of Heroes without the Rangers In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Which Cherry MX switch is the best?15 Oct 2014, 22:45 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2014, 18:31 PMBudwise It looks like they use a proprietary switch. That said you can get MUCH better keyboards for the money than Logitech. I know, the problem is that there are very few companies that make mechanical keyboards with Italian layout and Logitech is one of those. What about a G710+ , it has cherry mxbrown ^^ That said, which models would you suggest with brown switches? I could try to see on the internet if I find them with the Italian layout In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Which Cherry MX switch is the best?14 Oct 2014, 17:36 PM Do you guys have any information on the new Logitech G910 and the switches it uses? Did they release any detail in the US? In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Hyped for Ardennes Assault?12 Oct 2014, 16:21 PM I am hyped because I like also single player content. I would be way more hyped tho if they released more information on the campaign itself and the new customization/progression options. For example, I would totally freak out if the company customization would include units customization like the DOW2 campaign (like seriously, that would be crazy ). I don't think it's going to happen tho or at least we have no details about the depth of the work they are doing in the campaign. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic will be previewing observer mode9 Oct 2014, 22:46 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2014, 22:36 PMludd3emm And about the chat, why would it be bad to chat with other players you are not in sync with? Why not just enable an option to toggle on and off the chat? Just some thoughts... I would hate to miss any advice just because I can't watch the chat since I was not in their observer party. Don't quote me on that but I believe observer party works in conjuction with Steam chat groups, so basically you would create a Steam chat group that the game will recognize and put in sync. I have no idea if technically it would be possible for Relic to put in communication all the viewers of a game sorry In: Lobby
Thread: Relic will be previewing observer mode9 Oct 2014, 22:35 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2014, 22:05 PMWhat Doth Life?! The bans were being thrown left and right in the chat because the player-base is irate about Relic showing off this superfluous and Majorly overdue feature while the game itself is mired in game-breaking bugs, bugsplats and drophacks. I can't speak for the rest of the issues you raised but I can assure you that the team that focused on OBS mode has nothing to do with the developers working on balance and bugs. You may consider this an overdue feature but this is something we are asking from years and that Relic surely planned to do way before they added all those bugs in the game. I am sure they know very well that when the ESL event will start the game will have to be in a very clean state (and I'm not talking just about bugs but also about input lag and performance optimization, as well as balance OFC), let's see what they will be able to pull out.

Thread: Relic will be previewing observer mode9 Oct 2014, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2014, 21:52 PMludd3emm Indeed but isn't this a subject to change? I understand that Relic wants to be safe regarding the delay but we're not talking about 8 minutes compared to no delay but rather a decent 3 minute delay like in other comparable observer modes. I don't know if there are any plans to implement this but it would be really cool with an "observer chat" so you can discuss a current game with other viewers. I don't think 3 minutes in COH2 would be enough. (but I could be wrong) We did some tests and asked for quite some feedback from casters and players and the general consensus was that mines/demo charges, as a core aspect of the COH2 gameplay, deserve a lot of respect, and 3 minutes are not enough to be sure they would be blown up already. It is hard to pull out a right number because on one side you want to offer a "as close to live" experience to viewers, but on the other side you have to make sure players can't be exploited. I spectate pretty much every day matches of League of Legends using their built-in obs mode (with 3 minutes delay) and I really believe 3 minutes is the perfect delay there. I also know from playing with friends that often some information that are apparently irrelevant become immensely important. Let me give an example: right now in COH2 the meta is dominated by call-ins based strategies. By having a 3 minute delay in the automatch the information you could give to another player are immense: doctrine picked (which is probably one of those things with the highest impact), tech choice, mines placement. I believe that Relic wants to go super-safe right now and go with 8 minutes to make sure it's impossible to have players communicate with observers in the automatch. After a first period of tests I would be totally up to propose Relic to lower the delay to about 5-6 minutes (if it's possible) and see how it turns out. Overall tho it's irrelevant: since you are not supposed to interact with players in the automatch but just spectate games with specific tools the delay could even be 1 hour. What instead I think should be in the game is a way to let observers feel more involved when spectating, like being able to see mouse clicks and even players camera movement (like SC2) but I have no idea if it's possible. To answer your question, "Observing as a Party" feature should allow you to chat with the friends in your group while spectating the game while also being in sync with each other. Since spectators in the automatch won't be in sync this means that there would be no point to allow them to chat because they could be watching totally different moments of a game. That said, on tournaments (that are based on custom games) it will definitely be possible for you and your friends to spectate games (if allowed by the game host) and chat together. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic will be previewing observer mode9 Oct 2014, 21:56 PM As Ami said. Basically the 8 minutes delay for the automatch was added for one main reason which is that COH2, compared to all the other RTS on the market, has persistent elements that can be placed on maps (mines) that have the potential to stay there for a very long time while still retaining a high impact on the esit of the game. I think the delay for the automatch could be toned down if Relic wants to, but honestly there will be no interactions between observers and players in the automatch so it doesn't change much if it is 8 minutes or 15 minutes or more. The situation changes if games in the automatch are observable live or the delay is very lowbecause, as you guys said, someone could give valuable information to his friends playing and help them winning. While this is already possible when someone streams the situation of those two cases is completely different: when you stream you know already that someone could snipe you or have a friend helping him in a game vs you, so you are taking a risk intentionally. When you are automatching instead and there is a tool that YOU CANNOT control due to which people can see ALL the map without fog of war then the game itself has to protect you from every possible exploitation. Let's be very clear guys: if tomorrow we organize a competitive event for COH2 that is not a live event in RL with players in booths and referees checking what they do but an online tournament (like SNF for example) we would still not cast games live. We would have to add a delay, eventually of 5 or 8 minutes, either in the settings of the game or in the stream (probably in the game settings to still be in contact "live" with viewers). An event where we would cast real time with 0 delay could happen only in RL on a studio with booths and referees, where we would have total control that there is no communication between players and outsiders.
