My beta is sitting on my comp doing nothing. It just sits there. Its alright thats its there, I dont mind. But there is a problem when what could be a tool is not being used. Players discuss, and then players discuss, lets say the call-ins in this game, but the result in the end is nothing as the discussion only refers to abstracts.

If there is gonna a be change to the call-ins, why not let the players try out some diffrent solutions? With the beta players could be able to try if call-ins tied to teching is a good alternativ or if some other solution is better. Why do the job when you can have someone else do it for you?

Oh, its being used, you're just a lowly peasant not worthy of testing stuff or knowing whats to come.

Most of us are.

Yeah, there are still community testers testing, it's just not an open-beta style test. NDAs and such keep it pretty quiet.

I still have mine installed. If they do use it, I hope they bring the updates faster instead of waiting years such as Battlefield 4's CTE

So the Illuminati is made up of some of the people who routinely bitterly complain about balance on this forum?

R00fles!

Examples?

That group list is also semi outdated. People have been culled, people have been added, etc.

Guys, for beta development relic need such people as developers! I understand that each of you is a programmer :D but actually to update such complex thing as RTS game you need a lot of work to be done.

If I recall correctly the open beta was made open just before the last big patch so it could be tested; and I do not believe it has been updated since

Which means the open beta and the live version are the same thing right now yes?

In which case there is no point using it

Im sure they've made more progress them simply adjusting the isu/jag as well as tweaking performance. Maybe they should look at expanding the alpha or updating it?

I for sure would love to work with relic but I wish they were more open about what they are working on. Maybe just giving us teases would boost the moral of the community

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
