Thread: Confused about call-in units25 Apr 2017, 05:32 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2017, 02:16 AMJZuna As for call in infantry this in general would lead to awkward infantry timings like soviet shocks and guards, lock them behind t1 or t2? or in HQ and unlocked after teching?, means they come too early and are too powerful if you lock them behind more tech they come later then 2cps so not worth it. Easily fixed with side teching a la bofors/AEC Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2017, 02:16 AMJZuna Or look at the panzerfusiliers locking them behind tech like med truck would force you to give up panzer 2 opening, you could have them at base HQ and have them unlocked once one of the trucks was deployed, but this wouldn't really change the 3 volks opening. You can unlock panzerfussiliers after calling in the first truck, if you think deploying the truck is too late Jump back to quoted post25 Apr 2017, 02:16 AMJZuna And cps are more than just time, they are earned faster trough combat or teching so a really aggressive early game will unlock those cps faster. being aggressive does not mean having more deaths/kills or capturing of points. CP reliance breaks the BO rhythm, needlessly. Consider for a minute that all units are unlocked via CPs vs a game where all units are unlocked via teching. Which would you play? Then rationalize purpose of CPs and its nature. A bunch of random things that you cannot control. Why make capturing, combat, and teching generate CPs? Why not healing and repairing and using abilities? (I'm not sure which do actually give you CPs, but the fact that it the list is vague is part of the point) Sounds like a band-aid solution to a problem that could have been fixed more elegantly.

Thread: Confused about call-in units25 Apr 2017, 01:44 AM I would like to know what is the rationale behind making some commander units call-ins while others are simply unlocked at 0 CPs behind certain tiers. Does it not make sense to lock all units behind tiers? What if pathfinders were locked behind t0, allowing for more variety for USF openings? What if the greyhound was in t1? Poeple may actually play recon commander? Stormtroopers in t2? Panzerfusiliers/jagers behind med truck or mechanized etc Imagine being able to actually plan your BOs, instead of floating req and waiting for CPs? Would that really be so horrible? a decision was made to lock T34/85 behind a tier, yet MC4 Shermans were not EZ8 locked behind tier, the pershing was not If you break it down, CPs are time, which is not really a currency, because it is not something you can earn or spend. Just because you spent currency on a bunch of units that don’t require teaching currency that can soft-counter both AI and AT does not mean you should be rewarded with spamming tanks with the hoarded fuel. P.S Why do i need to pick a commander to build a stock unit (KT). I realize that I should have picked a commander this late in the game, but I should have the option to counter-pick a commander at any point in the game. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Matchmaking - constantly against higher lvl opponent. Why?22 Mar 2017, 00:50 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2017, 13:56 PMSiphon X. Here! Likewise in-game, when you are in the automatch lobby, click on "statistics", on the, err, ok, the other tab, the one that doesn't show the leaderboards. And then on "Recent Matches". However, more often than not the in-game thing doesn't work for some reason. At least I find myself often staring at a black window... Sweet. Thanks. I never knew this. Was always wondering who I'm playing. Clicking on the enemy badge only took me to useless steam profile. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The American BAR21 Mar 2017, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Mar 2017, 13:03 PMSmaug I think the BAR is perfectly fine. It requires an initial upgrade. Later costs munitions to equip and it can be dropped. The problem might be the huge recieved acc bonuses on the riflemen rather then this weapon itself. Yeah. Feels like it's impossible to wipe no-health vet3 riflemen on retreat with non-aoe arms. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Matchmaking - constantly against higher lvl opponent. Why?21 Mar 2017, 13:06 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Mar 2017, 07:35 AMSiphon X. You can try out CELO. As far as I know it will only show ranks, though, not level which is a bit more indicative of relative skill difference. And of course you can check out the ranks/levels in detail after the game by checking your recent match history. Thanks. Where do I go to see match history? In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Dawn of war 3 Game play changes11 Mar 2017, 02:23 AM If the final is anything like the beta, it's crap. Maps are hideous, StarCraft-like. No cover, no buildings, just a field, some elevation; huge, open and plain areas made so you can a-click your blob around and pretend you can micro all the things that you build. No point in repositioning units to use the environment. Prancing space Marines... In: Other Games
