Here's why they ignore you:
They are too busy talking to people who are hard at work testing these changes. They are trying to determine whether they really are an improvement on balance. Because believe it or not, nobody knows for a certainty yet. Especially not you.
"Especially not you".
I have 1.5 k hours in Coh2 and I play the series since 2006. This statement simply shows how arrogant and full of yourself you are. You think you can dismiss community members statements just like that.
Meanwhile, you're offering no analysis. We are acutely aware that you believe axis has the short end of the stick. But with only your personal anecdotes, authoritative statements and very strong convictions, you have failed to persuade us.
Constructive posts were ignored multiple times. Such as what role the Panther should fulfill, what you think about redesigning the unit, Tier 3 outperforming Tier 4, the synergy between buffs on one side, nerfs on the other side etc. etc.
Now being useless is forgivable, but you've taken it a step further, haven't you? You insult the people who are just trying to do a job. You accuse them of bias.
It's refreshing to see you admitting that the job isn't done right, even if you just did it subconsciously. "They tried a good job" is a nice code in work-certificates for people that failed at their job.
How am I useless? I'm pointing out your blatant incompetence to balance the game.
What is way worse is to abuse your position of power given by the developers to adjust the game as you please.
That alone wouldn't be as bad. But if the community is discussing the Panther for over a year now and it's discussed that the Ost Panther might be lackluster and you THEN come up with a nerf to its veterancy DESPITE the aforementioned discussions has more than just a strange taste to it. It's topped with the onesided adjustments into the Allied favour in general. You admit yourself that Axis is getting the short end of the stick.
They know they may be biased, or lacking some information at the very least. Balancing this game is more complex than merely pointing out over/under powered units. If they were truly pushing an agenda, they would never have brought the update mod to the wider community for feedback before implementing it.
I thought they weren't biased. You are contradicting yourself here.
The shitstorm would have come anyway. So they might as well present it now. More so you can make ridiculous suggestions at first in your patchnotes jsut to see how far you can push the community. Then you can give in a bit so that big nerfs don't look as bad as the before proposed ridiculous suggestions.
Axis is receiving a few more nerfs than allies this patch, and the only people that advocate trashing it all can't provide a well reasoned argument with some credibility and evidence. Odds are, the extra nerfs axis is getting this time around are justified.
That's your opinion. Many high ranked players (Siu King, Hector, CookiezNCream, dangerous cloth, jagd wölfe) think different. Arguments were provided such as the synergy between Jackson buffs and Panther nerfs, general situation of Tier 4 etc. all dismissed.
You have almost 20 pages of shitstorm here but of course the odds are that all these community members have no clue. Because here we are again: You know it better.
Try developing a more informed opinion than *axis good allies bad*. Then you might get a response.
Me and others did so and didn't get a satisfying response. The Ostheer Panther doesn't fulfill any role good. We pointed out the inconsistency of claiming the Panther should chase vehicles and stop to hit its target. It was ignored.
