Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2014, 20:22 PMwooof im not sure you understand how this system works... and look at games like cs:go, they have duplicates and shit drop rates. they also drop crates that you have to pay money to open. cs:go is pretty successful... maybe relic should make you pay money to find out what your drops are. OK, I'm sorry I'm not up to date on terrible f2p games that happen to be successful because muh valve "gamer culture". CoH's audience is not the same, and we tolerate less bullshit In: Lobby
Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 20:19 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2014, 19:55 PMwooof sounds about right. cant wait to see what they complain about next. and your solution is? Look at half the threads on this forum, or the basic economy systems for any successful free to play game. Personally I just want no duplicates with a progression system linked to rank or something else that can be easily tracked. I would even be ok with bypassing some of the progression (except commanders) by buying xp. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 19:49 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2014, 19:45 PMMilkaCow CoH2 community in a nutshell. Commanders only paid for? Complain and say it's pay 2 win. Unlockable commanders via playing? Complain that there are duplicates and drop rate is too low. Unlockable commanders via playing + random rotation? Complain and say that this is even worse than just unlockable commanders. Never happy I unless you get exactly what you want, right? If you want 1000$ and someone on the street donates you 999$ you gonna complain to him that it isn't 1k, rite? D: People aren't happy because literally all those ideas were terrible. Just because Relic keeps getting it wrong doesn't mean that people are complaining unfairly. In: Lobby
Thread: How to Force Relic to Change War Spoils15 Jul 2014, 19:46 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2014, 17:47 PMFestiveLongJohns I would rather give constructive feedback on how to make the system better than gaming the current one just to have it get AI xp patched out of the loot system, further alienating the player base. AI players get patched out, they complain, Relic gets more pressure to change the system. That sounds pretty good to me. Honestly if the system is going to give people a competitive advantage I really don't even think custom games should allow people to get war spoils at all, but if they won't budge on that they should at the very least make the progression to the bulletins / commanders be measurable and tied to your rank, rather than this random duplicate idiocy. I have a personal theory that maybe Relic just got some kind of ultimatum from Sega that said something like 'We need you to increase player 'engagement' stats.' So some genius at Relic came up with the brilliant idea of this system as a way to (artificially) boost playtime hours. Well if stats is what they want, stats is what they get via this script.

Thread: How to Force Relic to Change War Spoils15 Jul 2014, 17:08 PM It's a really badly designed system, so why not abuse it? I personally have a MouseController script that just plays a custom 1v1 with an expert AI on the smallest map in the game 'La Gleize Breakout', with high resources, 250 victory points, and fixed starting locations. The script just waits for the AI to win by VPs, which takes roughly 7 minutes. This is the shortest match type I can think of that's still above Relic's rules of: game must be longer than 5 mins, and must be either a win or loss. I let this run while I'm at work, and also overnight. It usually yields around 6 war spoils / day. Even though I feel bad about doing this, I think everyone should do it as it seems like it will be the only way to force Relic to change this poorly thought out system. In: Lobby
Thread: Green +XP27 Jun 2014, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2014, 17:40 PMPaRaNo1a FYI in options you can set "Classic XP" (not sure if I remember correctly the name) that will pop XP on top of the units that got killed. Also if you don`t mind it anw why start a thread? Seriously? When was this added? I'll have to check it out when I can. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Green +XP27 Jun 2014, 17:34 PM I know this isn't exactly a new request, but I figured it might be worth bringing this up again since Relic did actually make some minor UI tweaks with the release of Western Front Armies. Green XP indicators on unit kills. It was awesome in CoH1. Everyone loved it. I mean just look at this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXT8Fesmt30 In CoH2, we instead get the orange +XP indicators on the squads that actually perform kills. I don't really have a problem with this, but I don't see why we can't have both. I mean tons of times unit deaths aren't even caused by other units but by call in abilities, and for these the Orange indicators don't do anything. There's just something magical about seeing all that floating green text when nuking a blob. Do you guys agree? In: COH2 Gameplay
