You got it wrong Nullist. ESL have been really good to me, I'm working on new projects with them and so far it's been amazing. ESL had high hopes for the game, they thought it looked good and had the potential to have a thriving competitive scene. Alas the CoH 2 community didn't bother to show up so the section isn't there any more. If you're upset about it not being there any more then you only have yourselves to blame.

I quit CoH2 for two reasons; the first reason is that the community in my opinion don't want much more than a nice auto matcher and an in-game ladder. That's perfectly fine but I want to do more than that so I'm going to put my efforts to use in a scene that has more ambition.

The second reason is because of Relic and the way they go about things. I really do not understand the level of bureaucracy they employ for such a tiny studio. To even get a re-tweet approved for a community event you have to go through several layers of management, most of the time you wont get that promotion.

I asked in August about an interview about the ESL partnership. Just to outline what their hopes are, why they are doing it etc. to get an extra layer of promotion for the announcement instead of people having to trawl through twitch archives. I didn't get a response till late September with simply "Don't want to talk about it."

My thinking is they're betting on a LAN finals attracting attention from people because of the novelty factor. If this is an online-only league it's going to be completely pointless.

It depends if there is money allocated to pay for travel expenses. If not it will be online only all the way.

No nullist that's not what I mean.

The player base at large genuinely does not want to take part in competitive events and that's fair enough. The game caters do loads of different people. What I get annoyed at is the people talking about how they want competition when in actuality they want a nice in game ladder and what they consider a fair game online once a day or once a week even.

You could do the same program on coh2.org and it would be the same thing happening with low turnout after week one and I can bet that Ami would have to run the whole deal on his own and he's gonna be pissed off.

So I tweeted this out on 15th October https://twitter.com/ESLIpKaiFung/status/522460464471875584

"balance is usually a crutch for people to complain when they lose. Relic do a good job when afforded time to resolve balance issues in the game. Unfortunately with AA they haven't dedicated much time to it."


I then get this reply from noun. https://twitter.com/JefferySimpson/status/522462647761903616

"Unfortunately you have incomplete information on that point."

Now since October to now what balance changes made it in to live? The ISU and Jagdtiger changes as far as I'm aware. It's blatant that Ardennes Assault development severely impacted the time dedicated to improving multiplayer.

So please tell me and more importantly tell everyone else what incomplete information I have on the point because so far there's been nothing to show.

Playing the "if you only knew" card shows utter contempt for your fanbase. I totally understand you can't tell us everything you're doing but when someone pegs that something isn't right don't play that card, be honest and open about the issue.

I saw Quinn make a post about side armour being implemented and it being a slim chance that it would be done. Disappointing answer for sure but at least we know where we stand on the matter and it was a breath of fresh air over the usual "we're excited about we have in store" shtick.

you cant add new assets yet I believe which sucks for people wanting to do TC mods.
