Thread: Infantry Blobs9 Jul 2014, 23:16 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 23:04 PMDullahan Anyone want to play a 1v1 and try their darndest to blob against me and see how it works out for them? I think you guys are failing to realize that artillery is already more accurate against blobs. It's called more surface area of the bombardment zone being full of juicy meatbags. Adding an aura to discourage blobbing is just stupid. I don't care if CoH1 did it, it was stupid then too. I dont think anyone said its particularly effective. Just boring and sometimes rewarding if you didnt blob back at that spot. If I wanted to play a Zombie Survival game with hordes of undead running at me I have other games for that. The human wave tactic is just boring to beat. I would like to just be able to END that play hard. As it stands you CAN end it hard if you get lucky but most times you gotta retreat then blob back and punish the skilless players lack of micro etc etc etc. Very very boring gameplay. Feels like playing the same game over and over again because those players make it to the mid tier and you need to beat them back down into their rightful elo spot quite often. Its not what Turning point gameplay was. That was fun. This is not. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs9 Jul 2014, 20:17 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 20:14 PMNapalm You got it. That is the fine act of balancing. My personal opinion is that it is impossible to deal with blobs at a balance level. There will always be blobs in this game and they will be effective. More infantry lethality. Problem solved. You running at me in cover? Ok you just took twice the casualties I did before I retreated. Tanks arent such a problem because of Maps infantry however is. Also more effective mines. I think there are ways to make blobbing punished. Katushya, Arty, Werfer, Stuka having increased accuracy against blobs would be another way. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs9 Jul 2014, 20:08 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 20:03 PMNapalm Blobbing is actively being encouraged by Relic. In order to reduce the amounts of blobs there needs to be checks in place. Units such as stuka half tracks, god-cannon tiger; abilities such as off map artillery; and to a lesser extent suppression are examples of checks. Over the past patches these checks are becoming less effective for blob control. KV8, German rocket half track, Katyusha have been adjusted and no longer effectively counter the blobs. So whats a player left to do? You get creative. You mass your own units and you throw them against the opponents blob. 2 Uber squads? I raise you my 3 shock troop squads. It's an arm race for the ultimate blob May the largest blob win. There is the catch though. If Relic reverts a lot of the adjustments there will be a whole lot of whines about units getting one shotted. ISU, love it and hate it, was an effective blob counter. Obviously, that was over powered and corrected. Yep and therin lies the rub. USF has to own early game through mainly blobbing because they cant match the firepower of OKW infantry. So what is USF supposed to do? They outnumber and blob. What are you gonna try Green cover riflemen vs Obersoldaten with STGs? Yeah that wont end well for you... Now if they implement good blob counters this screws them most of all and their armor certainly wont save them... So we have the current dynamic. USF blobs because sadly that is their real strength vs OKW not so much Ost because LMG and BAR dynamic is pretty good. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs9 Jul 2014, 19:57 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 19:54 PMMr. Someguy On the contrary, you're getting blobbing mixed up with spamming. Spamming is when you make a lot of the same unit regardless of how you use it. Blobbing is when you put a bunch of units into one big mob and move them all around at once with no attention to cover or tactics. Often times they overlap, such as a blob made up of 5 Riflesquads, but not always. Spam takes more effort to use, because you still need cover and tactics. Spam is often a side-effect of other units being less effective even with combined arms, than simply building one type. It happens because the weakness of building one unit type is still stronger than the weakness of diverting resources to another type. Blobbing takes little effort or risk for high payout and is popular among low - mid tier players, even moreso with Americans since they can create the most versatile blobs. The biggest blobs (what I call "critical mass") can even steamroll things meant to counter them, like Machine Guns and Tanks. This. I have started calling this Company of Blobs its gotten so bad. Its quite boring when there is just blob after blob game after game and you use the same weak blob counters to deal with them just dragging out the game with dull game play. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: KV-8 40% damage nerf?9 Jul 2014, 18:21 PM Shock Rifle Front lines in the lineup. Shock Troops spotted...lots of Infantry on the field...hmmmm I wonder if a KV8 is a possibility? Perhaps I should build my new and improved P4? NAHHH I SHOULDNT HAVE TO MY SHREK BLOB SHOULD DO THE WORK!!!....rage quit... Common sense. When I play OKW if I suspect flak half track I prepare its counter...seems legit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to abuse the WC519 Jul 2014, 17:59 PM I saw a Slow M3 without flamer. Your opponent was also total Nub mode. He tries to run at your Dodge with Volks. Doesnt recapture his MG that died due to no support. Then instead at the end of making a Pupp facing one way and MG the other to prevent Circle straffing he just kept putting the Pupp where your Dodge WAS and not where it was GOING to be. It may be abusive but thats not what I saw. I saw a bad OKW player that also didnt know how to deal with it. In: Replays
Thread: Broken balance - Soviets vs OKW9 Jul 2014, 17:38 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Jul 2014, 07:44 AMslother Volk grenade is no building counter. Poor damage and if he uses it he cripples himself and delay a shreck. Special Forces Ambush Grenade. All units get it. Its cheap, spammable, and devastating to garrisons. Just make sure you have a full health squad so you can throw them all. In: COH2 Balance
