just a month ago the "community" raised more than 5k-or double that I am not sure-for OCF which was meant largely to promote the new DLC, which in my head at least means that the game is in an acceptable state and now you recall that performance is crap and people should boycott the game?
That's confusing.
Thats not confusing. There are a bunch of enthusiastic people who are willing to support this game because in it´s core it´s a shiny gem in the rts-genre. This has nothing todo with the state of the game.
Those people are much more enthusiastic then the dudes at relic who get payed for working on the game... Just look at relic streams, those guys are so damn motivated... yeah right...
"at least means that the game is in an acceptable state"
Look at the 1v1 leaderboards, between 1,3k and 3,5k players enlisted for each faction - acceptable right?
Well, if you look closer you´ll see that there is a huge number that hasnt played automatch in the last 14days or longer.
This turns relics claim to get coh2 into "esport" into a joke.
Relics statement about optimization just puts another nail in the coffin.
"but playerbase for teamgames is huge ..."
Yes, many players like to play coh in teamgames. Many try this, even when they only get 10 fps, massive lags and freezes.
All this is maybe "an acceptable state" for some, but for most people it´s not.
Ocf also showed some fundametnal flaws of the game , I mean ami and ciez had to manually synchronize to be able to cast the games and even then it desynched after a while and the game even needed to be restarted...
I mean come on, realy? Is this a beta or something?
So tl,dr already? Well boohoo I am in the mood you know...
"Boycott?"
Not going to happen. Everyone knows that the dlc is going to be bought. They didn´t make an ingamestore just for fun...
What we could do is flooding every relicstream and maybe their forums and steamforums with questions about optimization, lag, freezes, bugs and so on instead of the usual questions about this op unit, that op faction and warspoils.
Will this work? Maybe, maybe not..... but hey, we´re getting a pershing right? Despite relic stating "no heavy for usf" in the past...
Enough for now got to drink my
beer medicine now
