you can but at level 45

Thanks for clarifying Ip, nice Akira DP! I'm a Lau Chan main myself, I also like Eileen.

Don't worry, you aren't missing out on much this patch.

What's this inferring? I don't completely get what you're indicating here.

I agree with a lot of the points made by AE, I'm distressed by the DLC; I was considering a purchase but thus far I've held off and stuck with vCoH on the basis that I have no idea how SEGA/Relic will manage CoH2. The uncertainty caused by the day one DLC is keeping me from buying the game so far, despite vCoH being one of my favorite games ever.

SEGA's managed Total War mostly well but Shogun 2 had some ridiculous DLC. Chiefly the blood effects DLC but as shitty as that DLC was, it still had no effect on gameplay & it was purely visual. Also Total War has a way less competitive multi scene vs. CoH.

I think there's a lot of potential in CoH2 but I honestly don't see myself purchasing the game for at least a year at this point. I need to ensure I won't get ripped off, buying into a game that I think will be kept fair only to have some new OP DLC.

If SEGA wants a big franchise they'll need to sacrifice small profits like this DLC in favor of long term growth of CoH as an esport. A sizable esports community won't develop if large swathes of said community feel they are at a strategic disadvantage. As a long time SEGA fan (going back to Genesis/Mega Drive, depending on your territory) I'm not sure they are competent enough to pull it off. I've watched that company make blunder after blunder at the management level despite the extremely creative individuals inside of their dev teams.

So to any relic devs reading, I say: try to exercise as much weight as you can to ensure the integrity of the game is preserved.
