Hey people!

I saw you can now share librarys with games on the computer on steam. Its called family sharing. I have two account, so I shared the games. But now I saw when I opened Company of Heroes (duuuh, first thing I tried ;) ) my stats were reset. On my other account they were not..

Anyone else has the same thing going on? :)

Greetings,
Staf

Your Elo is linked to your Steam login. So no, you can't smurf unless you buy another key and put it on another Steam account.

Are you sure Inverse? If I use the CoH2 from my brother, which elo does it use then?
I play mostly 1v1 and my post are with 1v1 in mind.

Yup, I'm pretty sure now you can smurf with shared librarys.. Played a few games on the other account because I thought maybe I get my old stats back when I play a few games. Didn't happen..

Inverse, if your Elo is linked to your Steam login. For example: I used to login with Example1. Now I login with Example2, because I can also access CoH from Example2 with shared librarys its pretty normal you get a fresh start on the leaderboards.

New leaderboard stats doesn't mean new Elo rating. It was the same in vCoH before the switch, your Elo was linked to your main Relic Online account. You could create new profiles but they would still have your same ranking for matchmaking.

So I tested it and you can actually use another account on the same computer and have a completely fresh stat sheet with the same unlocked commanders you have on your main, so long as you allow the family share access thing for your other account. However, you will be missing bulletins that were unlocked on the main account as well as not have access to the few commanders that actually require an in game level to use.

At the end of the day it doesn't really make a difference, given enough games the new account will reach the appropriate MMR. Unless that individual continually kept making new steam accounts to enjoy the 4-5 "face roll" matches until they are at the skill level they are meant to be at.

I don't think your getting it, mate. Stat sheet reset does not equal MMR reset!

On my "alt" account I honestly felt like it was an mmr reset, the first 8 games were, well, "face roll" matches. People who seem really new to the game. I was getting those matches really quickly too, as oppossed to on my "main" account where it will take me like 5-10 mins + of searching then and only then I get a much lesser skilled player.

Call it how you want but thats how it went

Same here, the matches I get now are more vs people that feel more new to the game.

SHOUT IT OUT!

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
Yesterday, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
Last Tuesday, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
