Well that would be a shame.
I understand the whole 'if you don't like it then leave and let us (who do like it) play it' argument I hear a lot in these forums.
But surely that is not what a gaming company should want to be happening. I understand in life that you can never make EVERYONE happy but it does seem to me that the majority of potential players have left or are disgruntled. I mean shouldn't the balance (in an RTS game) be a priority number 1.
The potential for old veterans of VCoH and Coh2 players (who may have left), to return to the game is in reality probably very high. Gamers are probably waiting for Relic to sort the game out before they bother returning.
Therefore I struggle to understand why the game/community is in this state. It seems bad business, which at the end of the day is what it is all about.
Please don't delete/invisible my post MODS this is just my personal opinion.
Yes. You are right. I'm an old COH player (400+ hours of COH 1 and 531 hours of COH 2). I love this game and it will be very sad if Relic doesn't make something to regain the old players. |
I just wanted to say that people answering this question are likely to be playing it or have played it recently. Obviously the multitudes who have 'given up' or 'hoping' for Relic to fix their game have most likely already left the community. Just in explanation as to the lack of 'No' votes.
Not in all the cases. I'm one of the players they will quit playing COH 2 if this month Relic doesn't make some improvements. |
Haven't played for a month now. Not because of the balance, but about the blobbing in every game I played. As soon as this changes I'll play again.
I still enjoy watching streams
Yep, blobbing is a BIG problem now !!! |
The the next big patch in the works and what seems to be like a big change for COH, I belive that the UI could use an update. While most people like the UI or simply live with it, I suggest that Relic introduce more UI options to minimize or maximize the UI interactions.
Users would be able to customize what visuals they wish to be seen or have a scalable UI to adjust for larger screens. Other options that would be interesting to see would be to reintroduce the shield in the top right to hide units we don't wish to see.
Any other ideas coh2.org?
It's a good idea. |
Ah, there's the thing, Unshaven...
It *feels* worse in 2 v 2. In bigger games there are variables...
1. Noob teams - you get lots of Axis noobs looking for EZ mode. They don't leverage faction advantage
2. Synergies - support synergies are more powerful in big games, the most obvious being the Ostheer logistics biyatch role, or Sov arty dude
3. Uneven balance of skill - poorer players can be carried by better ones, no hiding place though in 1 v 1 and 2 v 2
4. Maps. The maps in bigger games change the dynamic - you spend half the battle getting back into it.

However, where you get a fairer match-up, yes balance can deteriorate into the heavy tank-fest. Lots of people love the heavy tank-fest, but until the American armour problem is solved (not necessarily by a heavy, but by tweaking Jacksons so they are more survivable) then the game remains hilariously dominated by OKW.
Yes, you're right. But even allies can blob tanks. I played some games with OKW (3v3, 4v4). If i didn't had the Pak 43 i didn't manage to stand a chance in front of Jackson, IS-2, Wolverine, Easy 8 blob. |
I only play 1v1 and 2v2. I can imagine the game being horrible in 3v3 and 4v4.
You didn't had the blob problem on Semosiky 2v2 ? |
^ True dat, as Americans you don't really get much choice either.
But the OKW blob is so versatile and tough, it really is win in fifteen minutes or.... LOSE
Yes, even the BAR blob is very powerful. |
I think its pretty balanced at the moment, so its hard to tell if I would play the game if it was unbalanced, probably not.
You think the game is balanced? Are you serious? |
I've been playing some 2 v 2 as allies which confirms my suspicion that OKW is E-Z mode. Blobs. Blobs. Blobs. Blobs with shreks and Obers and 'nades.
Then the KT and game over.
OKW is killing this game for me, to be honest.
Not only OKW ! BLOBS are a huge problem at this moment. |
My plan is to spam Stug E till next patch
Good point ! |
