Thread: A couple of post-patch balance issues/suggests28 Mar 2014, 15:56 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2014, 14:42 PMSpeculator Well, I would say a majority believe the patch has good intentions in more focus on cover dependent tactical oriented gameplay. However...the way the system has being implemented is dubious (Dane vs Albus' match yesterday where he intentionally demonstrated the overperformance of LMG42 Grens in even negative cover was a great example of that). The hotfix looks like a small step in the right direction, but I'll wager it'll be a month+ before we see a leap in balanced. I agree. But I woudnt hazard a Percentage of the player base.

Thread: How the new Patch changed the flow and feel of the game.28 Mar 2014, 14:37 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2014, 14:31 PM__deleted__ I'm sorry, but when you all (I hate calling you fanboys I hate that word)let's say soviet faction sympathizers will be happy with a patch? When the soviet buffs will be so obvious that they'll hit you in the eye? That was before the 25 march patch. I think is not right just for a faction to try to adapt adapt and adapt again. Yes it is easyer for german faction players to adapt to these last changes, because they were forced to play that way by soviet spam and crazy walking-around-shooting -everything playing style. I said it before, I say it again: they could use a minor adjustment to german small weapons DPS, while letting them still superior to soviet ones, to compensate the different squad sizes, and everyone would be happy. Probably. When each side has a clear advantage to be leveraged at some stage of the game or neither do. Simple. Soviet right now have no advantage early game and are disadvantaged late game. And are also less flexible due to faction design and tech cost. If relic wants Mirrors fine. Make them equal in all things. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A couple of post-patch balance issues/suggests28 Mar 2014, 14:24 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2014, 14:19 PM__deleted__ Go and sing at another table. 90% of players are thinking this patch (though not perfect) is pointing into the right direction. Where are you getting those numbers from? I would wager you just pulled them out of thin air. I would probably say that 90% of German Biased players like this patch. I am sure thats closer to the truth than 90% of ALL players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How the new Patch changed the flow and feel of the game.28 Mar 2014, 13:38 PM Jump back to quoted post28 Mar 2014, 13:28 PM__deleted__ Well, your first phrase explained all your next words and your problem with the new march 25th patch. Soviets have no more advantages in the early game. Well, this is called balance, ya know? No faction having advantages. I think that the small advantages german faction had, were fixed by the last mini-patch - 28th of march, except the one with pios. No balance would mean that Soviets have no advantage early game and Germans have no advantage mid to late game. Currently Germans enjoy their advantage while the Soviets lost theirs. Plain and simple. Cruzz is correct. Soviets we known for what? Superior infantry and an early game advantage. Thats gone now. Soviets had inferior support teams that need to get close to the front but were hard to kill. Now they arent hard at all to kill need to get close to the front and yet receive no other kind of buff. There was one single nerf to Ostheer and that was reduction to armor of Grens and Pgrens. Everything else was a buff. Everything. If you call that balance you are smoking some good shit my friend.

Thread: How the new Patch changed the flow and feel of the game.27 Mar 2014, 23:08 PM Game gained some depth at the cost of the Soviet Early game Advantage. While nothing is done to the Ost late game advantage. I like the changes in lethality but not the rebalancing of units. It is harder then ever to have early game map control before the real late game thrashing begins. I think changes are needed for Soviet support teams to help them dislodge Ostheers turtle. Staying in sandbags is suicide for Conscripts if a Mortor is present. Ost doesnt suffer from the same fate. Also as noted failed assaults are much less forgiving now and when you rely on them being the aggresive focused faction then you are at a distinct disadvantage. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: A couple of post-patch balance issues/suggests27 Mar 2014, 20:18 PM I agree. I would also like to add that this has encouraged defensive play on both sides. With the increase of Small arms damage leveling out the Soviets advantage of having more men in their support teams. Increase lethality of Grenades has done so as well. This leaves the Soviets with inferior support teams capability and takes away their survivability or at least greatly reduces it. Further the increase in light vehicles puts that benefit clearly in Osts favor while the utility of the M3 has been diminished with no real gain. (Removal of the Sniper cheese but nothing given back) Historically the Soviets have been the offensive force early game while Ost has always had the advantage on Defense. The Soviets now have no clear offensive advantage. It could even be argued that they are at a disadvantage due to lack of assault style infantry early game. I feel that soviet support weapons could use a buff overall to compensate for the diminished value of their survivability combined with the forward operating requirement for them to be effective.

Thread: L2P thread of post-patched Soviet27 Mar 2014, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2014, 16:17 PMFlamee So you have played as Soviets after the patch? Could you share your win ratio? I still agree that patch is step to right direction, no deny about that. Biggest problems IMO are pioneers. They deny the map control rather easily. I agree. I like it but the Soviets lack the tools to assault really. They have always lacked the tools to defend as well as Ost. So now they have no assault advantage, no defense advantage and well the late game is untouched. Now what? Fix Pios and tweak Soviet support weapons if we are meant to turtle. And make Penals good at something not just scripts with a better vet. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: THE PROBLEM WITH THE COVER SYSTEM27 Mar 2014, 16:16 PM I know I was only half serious. Just to illustrate the sillyness of the new infantry effectiveness. Ferrozoica seems to think that Cons arent meant to fight. In: COH2 Balance
