I do enjoy the show but I am afraid we're going to see the same set of players play over and over.

I think that a tombola system might be great.

All the players who want to play place their names in a tombola, when a new KOTH starts it randomly draws two.

Then if someone gets picked but wants to nominate, they have an option to pick a random, it draws from the list.

Von Ivans Is2 play was excellent. Thanks for highlighting for us. I had to work so I missed it. I'll have to watch the replays =)

Thats acutally kind of true.

Every week Vonivan, Luvnest, price, hans, that would be sad.

But there is a small chance with this raffle, that people will chosen, and will play self.

Like the last Sunday in January. It was n1 to see new names!

From what I remember of Romeo's predecessor to this series, he had to be quite forceful, to prevent the almost inevitable narrowing of choices to the same top players.

No problem. I'm just glad to help out seen as I'm not getting involved in balance discussion. Hopefully people watching can see the game is in a better state.

You might be right with this. Having a selection of 'to nominate' players might come in handy. I don't really know an easy way of doing this. I'm open to suggestions if you know software etc?




But there is a small chance with this raffle, that people will chosen, and will play self.



Point taken. I will look at ways we can diversify the players in the tournament.

I would like to suggest the first game to be for medium skilled players.
Lets say worse than rank 100 or even 150...
I guess people would be more willing to play themself if they'd know the enemy won't rekt them in the frist 10 minutes. Also it would only be one game.
It would give a different view on the state of balance for non top 10 players. Some cheesy stuff is extremely easy to play and extremely hard to counter which you don't normally see from top 10 players.

In addition the first game might be a bit less entertaining but at least the players will be more likely to play their best game and not make this become a troll fest. Which by the way I found really annoying last Sunday.

True words there :)

But hard to make it as Admin from this cup kind how.

So after raffle, they have to check first the laddercard?^^

I think it's best to make a blocked list for nominations, it's pretty much guaranteed that all the nominations will be the same 6 players. People don't nominate their friends, they nominates the best players.

Romeo used moobot for his raffles, with these qualifications:

If you win the raffle, you may give your slot to another player that entered the raffle instead.
No player may challenge the same king twice in a row in a given week of SCK.
No player may challenge a king that dethroned him in that week of SCK.

I have a question: Why the acutal king can choose faction?

I think 80% of all cupgames allies won. (And highest winrate was brit I guess. Also funny only 1 time USA was in the whole cup chosen! I find that intresting )


The problem is, to change now the rules, is kind of strange, after HelpingHans won 5 games , and 4 with brits. So Noggano should have the same chance kind of :)

Do you find it interesting ? I think its pretty obvious that USA is least broken from all allied factions.

One biggest example of this is that USA player is forced to pull all-scale flanks while soviet can just A-move maxims and brits can just survive

So this tournament proved that UKF is still the best after 8 months of work. Great patch :D.

UKF was mostly out of scope. Scope is mostly created by community players, so in next patch please vote for nerfing brits and maybe they finally get nerfed. Its not in hand of balance team to nerf brits. Its in hands of normal players and relic

So something is wrong if it is not in hands of high skill players/players with knowledge about the game.

SHOUT IT OUT!

No ProfanityNumber of ShoutsRefresh Shout Box
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
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
Last Thursday, 04:31 AM
Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
Last Tuesday, 18:27 PM
Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
Last Monday, 02:46 AM
Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance
22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM
Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: #RelicModdedEchoChamber
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...
16 Mar 2025, 16:36 PM
webdesign-muenchen-w: @Rosbone it is sick
14 Mar 2025, 22:09 PM
aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day?
14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM
Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
