Thread: Core issues that plague COH2 community, in my opinion 28 Sep 2013, 11:07 AM No. 1 - runs both ways, I think. Either way, it beats CoH 1's experience for me, where you'd have smurfing all over the place (and get accused of it yourself if you did anything at all well). The really cool thing about that system was how thematically nice the badges were. No. 2 - custom game lobby would help that section of players, I think. Also give the dicks that like badmouthing people somewhere else to go. No. 3 - I'm not sure this is true. Your basic units are very easy to handle, you don't have to worry about saving munitions for upgrades, you just have to build buildings rather than tier up, you don't have to handle MGs as a semi-core part of your army. I think this was true with the old MGs making it extremely punitive to have any conscript mis-micro but now it seems OK. In: Lobby
Thread: Post patch UI oddities28 Sep 2013, 00:08 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 22:33 PMAppleseed also it doesn't show player's lvl at loading screen or show how many ppl searching game in waiting list which is odd True. I've seen a post by PQ saying that's deliberate, though, so I didn't want to include it. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Post patch UI oddities27 Sep 2013, 20:28 PM Variously: The game no longer seems to save unchecked/vetoed maps. The game no longer shows the maximum number of vetoes. Going onto the army customiser now defaults to the TOW loadout. This seems very odd and finicky, given you more often will want to change multiplayer commanders. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Cannot cancel mines27 Sep 2013, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 17:15 PMOrvilleTheCat Is this a bug or intended? I cannot cancel mines and get my munitions back anymore. Seeing this too. In: COH2 Bugs

They've always been 25, haven't they? And if there's no patch notes on it, it's pretty fair to ask about it. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Multiplayer # of players searching display27 Sep 2013, 15:31 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 15:23 PMPingPing And really - don't give us the "well that option currently exists....." - out of interest - how many NEW players have people met IN GAME on COH2 and added to their friends list? I can tell you mine is ZERO. Once a game is over - most people just go look for the next match or shutdown - they don't hang about to chat - and that's the problem, unless A LOT of your friends are RTS types, you'll often have no use for the custom system in place. While I sort of agree with your basic points, I've got 6 or 7 steam friends from it, one of whom I play 2v2s with semi-regularly. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assault Grenadiers costing munitions.27 Sep 2013, 15:17 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 15:05 PMMorgolKing Read my post above. Why would any Ostheer player opt to get these instead of PG? By the time 1 cp is obtained you should already have or soon thereafter have access to PGs. They still beat conscripts and guards handily, their reinforce cost is lower (as is the initial cost), the higher squad number helps them recrew and take sniper shots and they're less likely to get squad wiped. You don't need to build Tier 2 to get them. There are plenty of reasons to get them instead of PGs even at 1 CP if they went back to the old cost. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Multiplayer # of players searching display27 Sep 2013, 13:46 PM I've seen a lot of people complaining about completely misunderstood searching numbers and in-game levels both in-game and on the forums. I don't think having these things visible in game honestly added anything. And yeah, a lot of those players who leave when they see levels really just want to have a custom mode and lobby so they can try to make sure they never play anyone better than themselves. I suspect they'll be incurable until they have that. I've not actually seen anyone leave because of a faceplate but y'know. Ladder rank in that mode or something would at least be more reasonable. These are all things I'd rather see post-game, myself. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Assault Grenadiers costing munitions.27 Sep 2013, 13:31 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2013, 13:07 PMStoffa Wow your comparison is just really really bad. Manpower blitz is an ability, abilities always cost munitions in CoH. This is about an infantry callin costing munitions, which is terribly inconsistent. Blovski Barton is right in a sense that a change was needed. This thread, however, is not about how to balance AG's. It is about them costing munitions and how that doesnt make sense. I agree that costing munis does clash with the established systems of the series for call-in units. (ofc, in COH-1, call-in units didn't require fuel either). 0 CP commander abilities are actually a far weirder clash than that (and I think the root of a lot of the balance problems with these Ostheer commanders)... ho hum. Of the other solutions - Fuel cost is both weird for infantry and would put back teching - Increased MP cost would have no effect on speed of arrival and make them too expensive for their power level later in the game. - Nerf is largely un-needed. They just had to come out later. I agree with Barton that making them cost 1CP is the best solution but if keeping them at 0CP is important to the designers' conception of the commander, the muni cost, either front or back-loaded, is the only real solution.

Thread: Assault Grenadiers costing munitions.27 Sep 2013, 12:37 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Sep 2013, 21:34 PMBartonPL What else would they do? i see only setting CP from 0 to 1 and that would be probably best solution, muni cost on call-in infantry is kinda weak. But good that at least they've changed something, i was getting bored to face 10 assault grens Barton is right. In: COH2 Gameplay
