QUENTIN's Theory for help players to progress

Quentin is here so he won't get fined.

I guess the Quentin-busting comes down to two reasons: 1) his English sucks. 2) He speaks bad English like a French intellectual, ie. : http://www.egs.edu/faculty/jean-baudrillard/articles/simulacra-and-simulations-i-the-precession-of-simulacra/ And god knows there's nothing worse than a French intellectual, right?

Anyone who analyzes and thinks too much is always suspect. FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T ASK ME TO THINK - Game of Thrones is on.

But he's right, if you take the time to analyze why you suck.

I know why I suck: I have poor CPM and often, as some player pointed out to me, ask my units to do things they can't. I might know I'm not going to win an engagement or my positioning is poor so I should retreat from the engagement but there's a lot of RNG and probability in COH2 fights so I rely on luck. But I only play for fun now, so I don't care that I play arrogantly and my weakened Sturmpios only have a slim chance of winning vs that rifle squad that still has 75% health. It's more fun for me to win when I'm not playing serious and I lose a ton of shit!

And to get back on topic - there are still a lot of situations where I have no idea what the outcome might be. Like a day ago I ran across a 75% health shock (all members still there) with a vet flamer pio and another pio. I had no idea how that engagement would come out. Maybe with lucky flame crits I would have won? I didn't know so I retreated the units. And of course the more units in a fight, the more analysis you have to do subconsciously and quickly.

And that's what makes good players good once the technical CPM barrier is overcome - judgement. Unfortunately most shoutcasts don't do this micro-level analysis, and we can't expect streamers to do it - that's asking a lot while playing.

I also disagree with Quentin you can't learn a lot from replays of top players - their knowledge of good opening capping orders and unit movement early is something you can copy and learn from - up to say 3-4 minutes. After that it is mostly useless because everything unfolds differently.

Holy fuck. 400 4v4s. You must have the feeling.

Ow, I just think it's cool that you've played that many 4v4s, as I personally dont like them. No harm meant

Oh ok. I was thinking I should be having some kind of feeling. Like maybe the force was with me or something. This is my OKW account. 4v4s are a favorite of mine for the large scale battles. Kinda got into 3v3s and 4v4s in vCoH a few years back when it switched to steam servers. Red Ballz Express baby!

Hahaha, this is brilliant.

People who ignore to understand this are somewhat stupid or just hate/dislike you for whatever reason.

More COH2 related / broken English / French philosophy topics please!

Dude wtf?

This thread seems very french to me.

Thread = revived

It wasn´t me..it was siddolio. He posted a link to this thread in the shoutbox and I didn´t realize it´s super old. Ban him please.

Why is it that reviving old threads, or "necroing" as the cool kids say, is akin to child molestation in the eyes of the chattering nabobs of the Internet?

I love when interesting threads get revived personally.

If you noticed, as you should have, this thread is still open...however, it was unsuitable for US Forces Strategies, which is why it has been moved.

On a more general note, however, necroing is not encouraged on old, more serious threads, simply because posters often respond to others who no longer log in, while others necromantists take bad points about tactics, stats etc apparently failing to realise that one or more patches have intervened. In effect, the necromancy effectively is off topic, since it often refers to a state of affairs which did not exist when the old thread started life.

To equate necromancy with paedophilia, however, seems extreme.

wouldnt it be a solution to self-proclaimed balance specialists to place them all in one folder with necro balance threads to discuss their rich opinions

+2 streak in killing philosophy.

I’m actually curious about the destiny of Quentin. He disappeared for some time now. He played quite well, and made these jewels, nonsensical posts

Quentin grew a neckbeard and disappeared off to University 2 years ago. He start to stream on here, but I think his PC may have been problematic.

This is his steam account, if you want to contact him:
