Unbalanced pay commanders

Con!,

If you played COH you would know that before the game was "stale", as you understand it, it was almost unplayable because Relic refused for the longest time to do anything about Kangaroos being into your base by 7 minutes and then crushing your troops over and over again. Before that, trenches and gliders crushed all your people. The PE infantry spam and ACs were ridiculous. ToV represents this shift where relic nose dived from legendary to comically insane.

VCoH and CoH+TOV were done by separate teams if I remember correctly. The TOV expansion caused ridiculous problems to the game essentially ruining a perfect rts and running off over 3/4s of the initial community.

Guess who is in charge of this game? The track record simply isn't there. Nothing that they have said or done in this game thus far has been anything to the contrary of a big fucking letdown and this is about to make it even worse.

Mark my words.

New commanders are cool. I'm glad they keep adding to the game. I've spent a total of 462 hrs on Coh2 so far (and about 2500+ on coh1) and the $8 is totally fine with me.

The guys threatening to quit the game should get on with it and stop making so much noise.

The P2W-whine crowd should hit the highway as well. Things aren't going to back to "how it used to be".

^ People support the game through buying expansions. Servers don't cost one million dollars to run. Having said that, I think the hardcore 1v1 players would not mind investing some money into Relic if they have produced a really good game which they play a lot. But with DLC and pay to win commanders, it is not a good game!

I am uninstalling this piece of shit that feels like a BAD free to play browser MMO. Enough is enough. I paid full price for this game and persuaded my friend to buy it. Now, my friend hates me and I feel like I've been fucked up the ass for £40! And another £2.99 if you want some lube.

Never buying a Relic game ever again. Their attitude stinks. At one point, the producer Wilson douche said you needed DLC to fund things like the World Builder. Errrr, mate, your devs were already using the World Builder to make maps for the game! Granted, you had to polish it up a little, but of course you want to give the community a world builder because it adds value to YOUR game for FREE. So many lies. It's like listening to a bad used-car salesman.

I'm done. Fuck you.

Hell, gym costs me €30 per month (which is the cheapest you can get around here), eating out around €50 or so and painting little men has it's costs. All my hobbies have upkeep.

Even taking up an activity like running, where you don't have to pay for facilities, isn't completely free of monetary upkeep. Why should gaming be?

When it comes to balancing, I'll just weather it. As long as I keep shelling out cash for them, they have a real incentive to fix things.

I am just dissappointed by the fact that they are trying to keep the expectations high for the 1v1 players, while all they are doing is fucking them up over and over again.

It's just sad to see that Relic is trying to only please those people that don't care about 1v1s or competitive games (3v3s, 4v4s) by adding more and more stuff to buy, that becomes even more and more ridiculous. CoH1 was a game made for competitive gaming. While it was totally possible and probably really fun for those guys that played 3v3s or 4v4s, the game was balanced around and built around 1v1s and 2v2s to some extend.

This is just the complete opposite. The thing is, that it does not matter for Relic, since they are probably getting more money out of the game by adding more and more stuff for those that will buy it, instead.

I agree with the current balance problems. I agree that constantly adding new commanders that are unbalanced doesn't add to the "Customer Experience".

What I don't get is the "Fuck you, Relic!" -part. Are they messing with and insulting YOU personally?

If it's so bad, just take your money elsewhere. Leave the gym boneheads to be milked dry of their cash. I like the way they're handling this game, and so far it seems they're putting a sincere effort into balancing the game in the long run. In the meanwhile, I'm sufficiently happy playing and losing due to imbalance and handing out money for extra content. I trust that things will turn for the better.

When I lose that trust, I'll move on and give that money to someone else. No need for QQ.

the right analogy for this this is buying a hotdog but paying additional for chili sauce and mustard, not some gym membership.
