Profile of Ace of Swords

Dude no one buys everything at full price. I bought both WFAfor $2 USD and bought all the commanders for 75% off ... cost me $21 CANADIAN dollars to get every commander in the game (minues the British and very recent OKW/USF ones)

Not everyone but most people bought CoH2 at launch, then they bought WFA at launch, then they bought UKF at launch and then they bought the associated commanders new commanders for full price, realistically speaking most people have spent around 100 - 120 € on this game but just because they didn't spend it all at once it doesn't magically reduce the money spent (which is still twice or thrice what's this game is worth), this however doesn't excuse that to unlock all the stuff in multiplayer and I want to underline that to have full access to all units/abilities combos available in the game you need to pay 184,64€..

And don't forget this is just for the competitive multiplayer part of the game, it doesn't include all the SP content + optional multiplayer content (skins,faceplates), it's quite frankly unheard of an RTS shipping it's Xpacs not tied with SP campaigns with the most recent example being legacy of the void.



Also you said you bought them on discount, may I point out the irony?

Are you 12 years old and don't get enough allowance money from your parents to spend $8 on new game content?

One quick edit: The price of the factions itself is fine (infact almost 2/3 of the full price comes from commanders), but paid commanders are a cancer that is helping this game to die rather quickly and that is preventing a lot of new blood from joining, that said I strongly encourage everyone to use the script to farm war spoils and use it to farm commanders.

It's funny calling them axis....when there's no axis in game but only germans

regarding non-german factions: noone (including me/japan might be an exception, but they dont really belong to the european theatre) would buy them. yes i know some of you on here would, but the silent majority of coh2 players wouldnt really care about those factions. hence no revenue for relic, ergo they wont do it

but keep dreaming

The brits brought in a breath of fresh air like no commander could have ever hope to do, saying people wouldn't buy another faction is asinine if not just for the sake of having more diversity or interesting mechanics, different/unique playstyles, I would actually like to see an axis faction based around the german allies with perhaps some sort of german lend-lease based around early game aggressiveness and way less relying on turtling and late game.

Barrage needs and ammo cost, it's ridiculous that it's free.

Like most other players I use P4s to deal with allies infantry rather than with allies tanks since you have tank destroyers and At guns for that job.

And when thinking about the AI role the P4 is clearly over priced in that sector, being easily outperformed by sherman (due HE Shells) and by cromwells (due high speed crush). P4 vs Shermans vs Cromwell is rather a RNG fest, unless it's the P4 okw, so you could say they perform on the same level against each other.
I think it would be ok to decrease to costs of P4 to Sherman/Cromwell level, while reducing the P4 OKW version by 10 fuel, to show its superiority over Cromwell/Sherman.

+1 to this

Considering SEGA's FB answers about the backlash of the chaos warriors pre order DLC for total war: warhammer this seems a straight up lie.
