Profile of Highfiveeeee

Hello guys,

I am a member of this forum for over a year now and even longer of the German version (HQ-CoH) and I often find myself reading things how much Relic sucks and that they are awful at supporting this game. Reading all those things made me also believing this kind of stuff and I found myself thinking 'omg what does this damn idiot say again...' whenever I read a post from Noun or anyone else of the CoH-staff.

Now I saw some videos of this year's gamescon and somehow I now feel guilty for my thoughts. Sure some presentations went really wrong but you know what? They are also just people doing their jobs and the cool thing is that they are even having fun doing it (most of the time I guess). Some of them are shy and don't know how to behave in front of a camera and I was wondering if I could do any better in their positions. I saw the videos and thought 'hey, they are not the bad guys I always thought they were'. In fact they are proud of the game they made and want to share it with the people (sure they also have to make the money but who of you works for free?).

I have to say that I am a person who is influenced by other's opinions and postings very fast so I had the image of the bad and evil Relic staff in my head for a very long time. Everytime a new patch arrived I thought 'oh god these idiots make it even worse' and such things.
But guys (and girls) always remember that Relic is a very small team of people who do this for a living. It is no 1.000 people coporation with 3 different sections for design, gameplay and so on, so they have to split their resources if they want to work on multiple projects at once.

Sure the balancing of CoH2 is another thing to debate about but I find it awful how many people in this forums insult the team and this is not okay.
Criticism is very important. But it makes a huge difference how you say it.

I hope we all can live in peace and fight our wars on the CoH battlefields.
Best regards.

Maybe you play a little bit too much my friend.
I once dreamed about the mobile game '2048' where you have to move blocks to get higher numbers.
My whole dream turned around blocks and numbers and was some kind of creepy.
I woke up with a big headache and never touched that game again.

Sure it's a problem that has to be fixed.
But Axis had to deal with this problem since M3 and then US Jeep.
Just saying...

I actually have not realised this yet and I don't think it is true.
Though I don't have any evidence.

Just to say, when you play german you can go outside talk to your neighbour come back , then go away again, come back and still manage to win.

This was insane.

Sorry but that is not true. As a German you have to take heavy care of your units because they die like flies.
If a mate in 2 on 2 goes afk for two times in a row, losing all his units once is a sure gg if the enemies are not total noobs, especially as allies.

I have friends that played coh1 and a little bit of coh2. most Were excited to here about WFA coming out. Mostly to see a return of the USF.

My friends stop playing this game very fast. the balance issue are so prevalent even noobs see it. It was impossible to get my friends to keep playing. I be like lets play coh2 they say "NO, its unbalanced!" . They are simply not coming back.

I try to teach them how to play. but, their frustration increases and they simply don't want to play. OKW is fun tho, but the wait times are too long. Most of my friends have jobs and lives. they want to play a game for fun. Not the "lets wait 8min for a single game as axis" game. or the "use cheese to win or win in 15min" game.

Then they should play League of Legends, no offense. It's a very fast game with a gigantic player base. You get to play very fast.

CoH2 as a real time strategy needs some time to learn, but in fact CoH is a very fast one in his genre. Take games like Total War or Men of War. You will have to play for ages until you really understand how things work. CoH is so Arcade that you should know how to play after 10 games more or less. But if you're friends are not willing to try the game why did they even buy it?
