Ultimately COh is and always will be multiplayer game.Fix bugs and balance game...is main issue.Instead spending huge effort on these single player content...etc etc.You can do all these after u have fixed the basic game,no?What good is new SP content when multiplayer itself is a mess?How much effort would it take them to modify the existing unused commanders..i don't think more than a week.Relic needs to use more common sense than rely robotically on 'tested data' alone.
What to work on first? First off to shed some light here the 'basic' game is the campaign and TOW's. They have stated since the Beginnings of CoH1 quite a large portion (and no I don't know the ratios) of their players base plays SP, compstomps and now TOW. Not 'everybody' plays pvp, so they must consider both sides of the fence not just look after one side or the other. (Even though I too wish they'd concentrate on the PvP side of things).
As for the commanders issue well tbh very few people here could do it "well" in one week. I pray for the day they actually listen to people on this. I'd love to see changes here but I guess seeing as none of us are part of the team we're just going to have to twiddle our thumbs a little longer.
As for data they must rely on it since quite a few community suggestions on balance changes are laughable at best. Once you look at their player card you shed light on why they are complaining about the specific unit or Faction. You have to wade through useless repetitive posts to find the gold here these days.
Don't get me wrong something needs to be done about the state of things asap. Now in no way do I mean to insult anybody here, but if you get insulted that probably means your one of the people I'm about to comment on. By no means do I think the majority of the people that frequent the forums have anywhere near the ability or time to fix things themselves let alone do it fairly. Sure there's some "really" good ideas (quite a few bad ones too) but the things I read here are for the most part biased even though unintended most of the time. A fair amount of things on the forums are L2P issues, from people wanting the game changed to suit them so they can play their way or not have to build counters and just walk over their opponent. Observationally I see quite a few people come here and make threads about things like that when they could just go play for fun or go find the answer to the issue that plagues them so.
Mirage357 currently waiting for insults to get thrown my way for my opinions on the matter...since I know they'll come sooner or later
