The next expected patch will be in December as Relic usually does this every 2 months.

Kyle is in the process of assembling a community balance team which will mean that changes are being made by community members more regularly and will be approved by Relic Entertainment for inclusion in the game

Last time that happened they broke the game for about a month, and some of the damage still hasn't been repaired.

The last time that happened Relic didn't implement the USF Mortar properly as it was far what was tested and intended. The USF mortar was fine in the May Balance Preview.

Relic picked and chose which parts they wanted to implement, without regard for how some of the changes would work cohesively together. It's not the balancer's fault, Relic messed it up.

last time i checked, you don't work for free to get your stuff "approved" by a boss.

Relic gives to these community balancer a real power and no approval needed or just fuck off, that's how it works.

if kyle disagree, he can still come here and explain us why he should still approove things ...
oh wait, he is not even on this forum.

nothing personnal against kyle or relic, just common sense.

That's what I'm saying, what's our guarantee that Relic won't mess it up AGAIN.

And I never blame anybody, I only said WHAT happened LAST TIME something like this was attempted.

True, It basically made one third of the players uninstall the game and run for their life.





The last time that happened Relic didn't implement the USF Mortar properly as it was far what was tested and intended. The USF mortar was fine in the May Balance Preview.


USF mortar was one example. The changes suggested and advertised from the "Competitive" mod basically killed the asymmetrical balance concept, made the axis factions even less enjoyable and a lot weaker and overall it proved to be unpopular. Some more mind boggling cases aside from the obvious USF mortar trolling include;

Penals Over buffs without adjusting their veterancy

Allies artillery triple buffs succeeded by cost reduction

Messing up OKW Teching

T34s buffs succeeded by cost reduction



Though I am very glad relc didn't go ahead and implement all of the changes included in the "competitive" mod, or else all of us would be diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The mod author never claimed to be a "balancer" to begin with (whatever that term means). It was a pretty fun and enjoyable mod, praise worthy for the hard work and dedication. But not appropriate to be integrated into the live game.

Relic lacked the professionals to come up with Ideas, so they went ahead and chose the mod which 'seemed' to be the most popular at the time. However, the balance complaints raised up significantly right after the patch went live, and proved the fact that it was a wrong decision.


Not to mention there are some mods which are much more coherent and provide more appealing ideas, including The First Reinforcements, DreadMode: Realism & Balance and recently the Commander Rework by PlanetSmasher.




I hope A-team from community will include this guys:
Cruzz - Game Mechanics Specialist
Mr.Smith - Lead Bug Solverguy

1.
Indeed. He seems perfect for the title.

2. Highly motivated guy with lots of expertise, definitely a worthy candidate for the Bug Fixing department. His balance ideas don't seem to fit with the overal coh2 design though.

3. I think we could have a closer look at the current balance and reevaluate our judgments.

4. No. Read the GG's change-log for explanation. Fun mod to try, and kudos for the hard work. But certainly not relevant to the live game and how it is designed.

We'd all think Fyodor Dostoyevsky's not a very good author if we only read versions of The Brothers Karamazov where 75% of it was cut out at random and poorly-translated into our language.
