Thread: COH3 epic fail24 Feb 2023, 22:26 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Feb 2023, 15:26 PMPatFenis Soundwise im on the fence, the high dynamic range is really nice on my Senheiser HD 650 connected to an ASUS Xsonar sound card, but with onboard sound and in-ears, the sounds even in compressed form seem to be whacky as hell comparatively. Interesting point about sound…i feel like the mixing (for lack of a better word) is odd - the action all blends together. Mortars, rifles, tanks…sometimes indistinguishable. In CoH2, I could separate them out easily and the scale of the sounds felt right too. Wondering if it’s my setup or the game based on your text - I’m running the same setup as coh2, where I did not have that issue (Arctic’s 7 steelseries w onboard sound) In: COH3 Central

This should be a standard feature in the game where you can toggle between vauge information and detailed information. Cheers Seconded! Thank you so much for the awesome work In: News

Thread: CoH 3 2021 Roadmap27 Aug 2021, 16:06 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2021, 07:32 AMDonnieChan THey were saying in stream that they were glad they took this route with early community involvement and feedback and askeed themselves why didnt they do that before. i liked that a lot. Do you think they are able to filter out the stupid nonsense from the forums? For the sake of their sanity and the well-being of the game, I sure do hope so. It must be interesting trying to find the sweet spot between making people feel heard and making sound business decisions, especially when most of the feedback you hear are ungrounded/unintelligent complaints In: COH3 Central
Thread: Gren Rifle nade is to powerful.13 Aug 2021, 18:28 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Aug 2021, 17:39 PMAHandyDandyHotDog 80% of the time it isn't called out, it has enormous range and has to be predicted to dodge, it basically wins engagements, it's useful the entire game, and if you predict where you're enemy is going to move if he sees your gren squat down, that's a squad wipe. It has to have its damage nerfed, it shouldnt kill squads without warning. Seeing as how the AI likes to bunch up, it's guaranteed to be useful. While it has its advantages (namely, that you can launch it from behind shot blockers), it isn’t super punishing if you’re in cover unless you have really bad rng. It can be frustrating, but I’m okay with it. You just have to be very aware any time you’re near their grens. Truthfully, I find the Pgren grenade to be much worse, especially for special weapons teams. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: CoH3 Art Vision - Life at War and Cinematic Realism11 Aug 2021, 18:15 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Aug 2021, 14:02 PMPip I'm reasonably sure that you can in CoH2 and probably 1 as well, it's just that it's never a good idea since tanks want to be moving rather a lot, and you're likely to eat even more HE as an infantryman when hiding behind a tank than normal. If stationary, tanks do become green cover in CoH2 In: COH3 Central
Thread: How does the AI make decisions?1 Aug 2021, 13:26 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 01:27 AMGrumpy All of the AI's run into problem with team weapons and are prone to gifting them. They also have a tendency to rush units like Priests or Katy's into the front where they get destroyed. I tend to see an inability to handle support weapons for most factions as well - unless the Soviet has an AT gun nearby to barrage The only thing the AI does well typically is poke at capture points constantly. I actually just won a 1v2 where my partner dropped at the ten minute mark because the AI was just annoying enough to distract them and…well, they weren’t great either. Wehrmacht with zeroing arty spam is tough if multiple cpu choose it. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic: Gameplay Overview1 Aug 2021, 13:17 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2021, 23:37 PMdonofsandiego That wouldn't make much sense. Games being sold on their own don't make nearly as much as games that include in game purchases of some sort. Games as a service is the current trend. What I get from that statement is that every faction will have access to the tools that it needs from the base roster and not have to rely on commanders to fill holes in unit composition Been wondering about this too. The CoH2 commander system lent itself very well to micro transactions - even though there were some frustrating aspects like the price point and the VERY slow accumulation of in-game currency. Im hoping we don’t end up with a pay to win system like there was in CoHnline. That was an awful implementation of a neat idea. In: COH3 Central
Thread: How does the AI make decisions?28 Jul 2021, 03:09 AM Thanks for the insights. Jump back to quoted post26 Jul 2021, 06:26 AMGrumpy Soviet, OKW, OST, and USF computers play somewhat normally. It normally seems like Soviet>OKW>OST>USF, but there aren't huge differences. I agree that Soviet is the toughest AI opponent...especially with the ZiS barrages. I also feel like the computer plays differently depending on the composition (i.e., 4 Soviets play differently than 2SOV/2USF), so they must look at allies as part of their decision making as well. UKF...is trash XD Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2021, 19:58 PMGrumpy Path A) Teammate drops - AI decides you are okay - AI continues normal build Path B) Teammate drops - AI decides you're a wanker - AI spams Kubels to cap behind the lines Accurate. However, the capping ability for an AI is sometimes better than the dropper anyway... Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2021, 16:00 PMRosbone Relic needs a way to decide which units to make. This changes after each patch. So it is my belief that they do a calc that decides how much a unit costs and how much DPS it can do. So you will see that after each new patch, the AI will start to spam a different unit. And it is a weak indicator as to what is OP during this patch. Hadn't thought about a score or value proposition for each unit, but that would be one way to work around some of the issues with deciding on which units to build that would "update" as stats are updated. Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2021, 16:00 PMRosbone Some obvious things as your enemy: - The AI has no Fog of War. So they will run around your units and cap points behind you. - The AI will park its vehicles in front of your AT weapons. - The AI will hunt down your sniper. - The AI will step on or drive over your mines. - The AI will move its units to the position you tell your units to travel to. So never click far away or use rally points or you will be met by the AI at that point. - The AI will spam light vehicles with all that extra fuel it gets. - The AI tends to put bunkers/bofors/etc on your fuel cutoff. Things as your team mate (still enemy): - The AI will drive its vehicles behind yours to block them and get them killed. This seems to be code that tries to support your advances but the code is not so good. - The AI will steal your team weapons etc if you tell your units to take it. So you need to move your units nearby, but not too close to it. - Since the AI has no FOW, you can almost use it as a recon source. Since it will move to areas where no enemies exist. Didn't realize the AI will rally to your movement...but I was aware of the other points - especially the team weapon snatching and parking lot antics Jump back to quoted post27 Jul 2021, 16:00 PMRosbone And of course it is completely broken for many factions: - OST AI will send a pio out to cap a point as it makes a new one. Then it will call the first back to build a building while the 2nd is standing in the base. - OKW will spam Kubels at all points in a game. Must be calculated as powerful for its cost??? These are some of great examples of some of the bizarre AI behavior. I'm sure there are many more out there as well. Any idea how they decide which commander to pick? I don't think it's straight randomness - I feel like it's partially dependent on map and army composition. In: COH2 Gameplay
