Relic probably gonna look at this "awesome the hardcore crowd got their own mod, now we can keep NOT working on the game for the casuals because they don't care anyway" |
It feels hopeless because game has deep design flaws and relic have never promised they will go back and fix them. PQ hinted that he wanted to do it but with him now gone that indication seems more like wishful thinking than actual fact. Game also lacks robust competative supporting features like a proper ladder system but relic doesnt seem to be interested in things that can't be sold with a pricetag. |
@spajn
In general, just assume I don't know what I'm talking about. It makes posting easier.
No im gonna assume you are right, unless a game has atleast 200 million budget it's doomed as a competative game.
that shit is now in the books and will be refered to in future debates. |
Put that joint down and rub your eyes a moment. CoH2 will never become an e-sports title, and it amazes me that there are still people who believe it could ever be so. Relic are too inconsistent and fragmented a studio to pull off such a feat, and more importantly the game was clearly not designed with such an outcome in mind.
CoH2 is a great game, but it lacks focus and Relic lack the manpower and resources to truly break through into the sort of player base you're talking about. They have what, a hundred people, and presumably only a fraction of those are working on the CoH franchise.
Do people honestly think a game - no matter how fun it is, and it is great fun for the most part - with a one-man balance department, no dedicated map team and the kind of server/connection issues that have plagued it since launch will ever become a finely tuned competitive e-sports title? No chance. Incidentally, I do not believe there is either the interest/ambition from the developers for that to be the case, or a real fanbase for it within the existing CoH2 community. We're not SC2.
CoH2 is a great game, but like most games it is flawed. We should enjoy it for what it is and try to work with what tools we have available to us, but the whole e-sports thing (an idea I see floated quite often) is simply a forlorn hope.
Peter's a cool guy, though. I'm sure he'll go on to bigger and better things in a less constrictive environment.
I don't think anyone expects coh2 to beat league of legends in its current playernumbers but it could atleast pull 3x the amount of players it does currently if relic would have played their cards right. Starcraft/broodwar had even smaller teams with less resources behind them than relic and it still got huge in korea. Likewise league of legends had a tiny studio behind it when they launched. You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you werent a onlinegamer in late 90's and don't even know the history of todays greatest franchises? |
ok this game is now dead |
Good they now know that nobody cares, makes their effort for this game and this community worth so much more.
For reals? Whats up with todays generation, bunch of whining sensitive p*ssies. No nobody cares if you play coh2 or not and don't play it for anybodys sake but your own. If you want to contribute to the scene by streaming and organizing events go right ahead but nobody owes you a goddamn thing. |
I find it wierd that this James Hale guy who is a merciless moderator who locks every thread unless its a "praise relic" thread on the official forums now comes here and mock muslims. Also we dont need any jewish propaganda picures. |
I never noticed any difference from any patch... it has always been half a second delay on command for me. |
Relic your sound has been broken on your stream for like half a year now if not longer... even some random kid doing some streaming often is of better quality. |
Where did you read that i disagree with that? You missed the point of my post. So if you come down a little bit, maybe you will understand it.
If you wanna attack Relic, please do it in another thread. This thread is about the patch and this patch is very good for many people.
And about Star Citizen, yeah, if the Community donates Relic 60 million Dollars they will for sure focus on them.
Imo, Star Citizen is a bad joke (not the game but about this founding model). First you have to donate for the game to be developed and then you have to pay again to buy it and then.... you have to pay a monthly charge for usage. So yeah, they went to an entire new level of getting peoples money.
Here is my source. If this is wrong, forgive me and i mean it (i can accept being wrong and apologize if necessary ).

Why even comment on stuff you have no idea what you are even talking about? First of all you don't need to back starcitizen to play it you can just buy the game. Secondly there is no subscription at all. Thirdly if you backed the game for as little as 30 dollars then you get a free copy at release. This sort of uneducated rumour spreading is the reason why internet is a garbage can for the most part. Worst part is you linked a FAQ where it clearly states " To play Star Citizen you need only to buy the initial game. There will never be a monthly charge for usage." |
