Thread: Make Multiplayer COH3 free to play to save the franchise.4 Mar 2022, 12:57 PM This must come as a shock to you, but let's make a simple thought. Take for example very big and succesful games in the strategy genre: Dota2, LOL, StarCraft2, Heroes of the Storm, Smite and dozens of smaller (although bigger than COH2's playerbase) titles. The people designing them spent millions of dollars in the creation and maintenance of the titles, however they released them for free. Why was that do you think? Few people ever pay 60$ for a game and play it for more than say 16 months. So it is unreasonable to expect COH3 Multiplayer to keep going even if it's perfect because nobody is ever satisfied with what they bought. The lootcrate business model, the one where you have a trading environment and basically pay for a chance to look better, seems to be way more profitable than the traditional pay to play one. Especially in this market. Keeping the game free makes you have a lot more players dropping in on the lower ranks, and thereby you increase the chance of fair matches and also the chance that the game will be better overall. Also adding seasons and better ranks makes the game more addicting and thus even free players will buy in. Bigger playerbase also makes every single matching algorithm work better and more efficiently. So do we, as a community dedicated to COH, really and unironically think that COH3 Multiplayer will be better even though it will never actually have a chance of even competing with the rest of the saturated strategy market? And just FYI: Age of Empires IV, a brand new title destined to "revive" RTS also released by Relic, right now has about the same player numbers as COH2 even though it released about 6 months ago (proof, previous proof but with better scale). I just want COH to survive. It's not 2006 anymore guys. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: At the end the modding team didn’t balance the game.4 Mar 2022, 12:43 PM That's what I have been preaching since day one. You cannot put bandaids in fundamental problems and call it solved while oversolving other problems. The main fault of the balance team (or whoever the hell is responsible for that, I don't know) is that they overfixed certain factions that only ever work in AT, neverminding the fact that a very very very small minority of the game plays AT as their main mode. I will explain with an example: let's take UKF, which is the single worst faction to play with (up to 3v3 random). However, if you can actually get a good teammate that can synergize with you and cover you while you actually spam emplacements, you can win the game with ease. So, in essence, skill got out of the game and an attempt was made to replace it with "synergy" and "cooperation" eg. giving AT all the glory. The final nail in the coffin was when the team actually gave randos and AT the same exact matchmaker (for that I have a whole other topic). What can we do to fix this in COH3: Make AT and Randos play together only through a checkbox (so you can choose if you want to pair yourself against or with Arranged teams). Actually design decent factions. In: Lobby
Thread: 120MM SOV mortar4 Mar 2022, 12:37 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2022, 17:06 PMMr Carmine The retreat should stay. Soviets are quite lacking in forward healing and retreat points. Unlike the other factions. If we give soviets as much acces to those it can be removed as a trade off. I cannot imagine what thoughts go through your head writing this, or how long it is since you opened the game. Soviets do not need FRP. They have the merge ability and dirt cheap reinforcement cons. You put more work setting up a FRP than actually reinforcing through merge. That's their basic mechanism. To not need FRP and be flexible due to merge. That way, you can reinforce very expensive units (like shocks or guards) for 18mp. Your argument is out of reality. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Please fix the horrible matchmaking in COH34 Mar 2022, 12:33 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2022, 22:06 PMKieselberg Why even buy it in the first place then? F2p means p2w with many micro transaction. That would be the worst. COHO was a very good example. Unbalanced peace of crap LOL and DOTA2 are the main "competitors" of COH in the strategy genre. They are completely free and not p2w. You pay to have better skins, and trade them. CSGO even went f2p, for the same reasons. It's just a way better business model. I guarantee you if COH3 MP is not free to play, the playerbase will sink right down after the first weeks. In: COH3 Central

Thread: buff 251 AA HT OKW3 Mar 2022, 07:55 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2022, 20:53 PMRocket It is incredibly lucky to attack ground and actually hit it. Just give 400hp and free smoke to 251 and all is good. OKW units after all must be more durable to offset their cost. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: buff 251 AA HT OKW2 Mar 2022, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Mar 2022, 13:13 PMleithianz There is no LV that has 400 hp with smoke by default. That is extremly too survivable. If it gets patched as so, you will see no pro player loosing AAHT before medium tank comes out. So in return it would have to loose smoke ability and don't forget to give other LV such as USF AAHT & Soviet .50 Quad hp increase as well. In overall, I quite don't see a reason for buffing this unit. It's doing it's job pretty well, and survivability is actually better than similar unit - USF AAHT & m5 - Nah just make it 400hp and keep the smoke it's alright. In: COH2 Balance
