One of the things I love most about games is how systems can get almost bastardized, y'know what is "proper use" after all. I imagine it's neigh on impossible to predict when developing a game how it's going to pulled and tweaked with, IE truck pushing (NOT ABOUT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ) just that I find that... drive, to push limits, always really cool, and frankly important to the evolution of our game.

Emergent gameplay!
One of the best things about the developers of EVE Online is that they don't stifle it. Jetcan mining and wormhole societies, and so on.
The justification used by devs to stamp out behavior and unexpected gameplay is 'it wasn't our intention / it's not in our vision.' Prime example, John Carmack (I think that was the one) removed strafe jumping and a bunch of the momentum quirks from the next Quake update / game: he literally admitted because he removed it because he personally didn't like it, that it's cheap etc.. Needless to say, huge community backlash, he finally relented.
Ultimately, it comes down to humility and arrogance. If the devs are humble enough, they will either remove it for a good reason (proving that it makes degenerate and boring gameplay), or leave it be and adopt it into their vision. If they are arrogant, they'll remove it for dumb reasons like the one above. Developer intention doesn't matter a whit. Masahiro Sakurai created one of the most beautiful fighting games in existence, and he didn't predict all the myriad behaviors and depth that would arise from his numerous mechanics.
Developer intention doesn't matter. It matters morbidly to those who worship said developer, sadly, and often to themselves if they be arrogant enough.
That being said, I'm sure there's many examples of devs removing bad emergent gameplay, for good reasons (degenerate and boring gameplay), I just can't think of any right now.

could you post on the vet guide what is missing then ill update it?

Hey now--we don't know if the attribute editor is the accurate one here, though.

Empiricism? Not as I understand it, at least~
Primarily, it says that knowledge can only be what is known via sense-experience. While this is undoubtedly true that all knowledge has its root in sense-experience, Empiricism lacks explanation for such supersensuous things as ideas, produced by the immaterial faculty known as the intellect.
Just as, Empiricism couldn't find the essential idea of being underpowered in Stormtroopers--it couldn't discover that, or even so much as guess that, since there is no guessing without ideas or intellect. Yet, we have demonstrated it through... many means, numbers in no way the least!

hahahha,
wellll i mean, i coulda used "analytics" but i really appreciated the in game comparisons. i really like threads like these that have contained rational critiques which evolve into tactics. it's people elbow deep, trying to search for edges hidden within factions. i think it's exciting.

Aye, aye.
This is why I love the Den Kirson community. We (and by we, I mean Marvel4 and Probaddie nowadays ) sniff through their game files and get the actual stats of Call of Duty, none of the abstract... bars on weapon descriptions, often misleading and inaccurate. Even though I don't play CoD any more, the principle is the same. Some better understanding is hidden deeper in the game files, somewhere!

I am hopeful for some of the responses.
They are going to reduce the R N G FRUSTRATION involved with plane crash! AYY

I'm glad everything worked out.

Shoulda handled this behind the scenes dude. Just my humble opinion.

Being as honest and transparent as possible holds everyone accountable, and creates far more opportunities for understanding and proper diplomacy, and if not, creates hard evidence for the poor quality of someone's character. So too it gives us more chances to reconcile one another and mend our ways.

You people do realize at the time COH2 takes place that is 1944 During the bulge as of WFA afrika corps would literally make zero sense as they are all long gone? I mean sure you could still do it, but like a pacific expansion would have to separate from the main game.

We shouldn't be worried about any immersion breaking from this sort of thing--after all, we have plenty of glaring fictitious elements and impossible scenarios at work in CoH2 already.
