Thread: Steam leaderboards and ranks explained30 Nov 2013, 13:16 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 12:58 PMBabaRoga You just described what 'soccer mum kid generations' is. Needs rewards and motivation to play. Wining and unlocking stuff, regardless of how well you play or not. And if you cannot win, you can buy it... This concept is absolutely wrong for someone who is not that generation, because you want to play vs someone with exactly the same units and capabilities. To win thanks to your skill, not something you unlocked and gives you advantage. However small it might be. What you have labelled as a "generation" has been common in Europe for decades and thus many generations. Obviously, these changes towards the European standard are visible in the United States. The concept is neither wrong or right as it is intended for marketing purposes and game developers merely adapt to these (cultural) changes for all the known reasons. Besides that, a guaranteed reward system does not prevent a competitive scene to evolve. In: Lobby
Thread: Steam leaderboards and ranks explained30 Nov 2013, 12:59 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 12:49 PMNullist What. No. Completely wrong and backwards. It means kids are extremely competitive here, as urged on by their career building mothers who demand more and more success and achievement from their children. Then why did you state that the "soccer mom kid" does exist in Finland...? In: Lobby

It is not my place to explain to you your own intentions, whether they are hidden or not. However, if these intentions do not exist in any form, an explanation would be appreciated regarding your post, months after this issue has been resolved. In: Lobby
Thread: Steam leaderboards and ranks explained30 Nov 2013, 12:46 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 12:37 PMNullist It does here atleast in Finland. That is because the non-competitive environment for children described in the OP has been the standard in Europe, including Finland, for decades. Therefore, this generation cannot be classified as the "soccer mom kid" generation and lacks correlation with the observed game changes in the last 10 years. In: Lobby
Thread: So, I missed the whole "why russians hate coh2" thing...30 Nov 2013, 12:35 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 12:09 PMEsky Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Sig worthy burn for sure. Although, I do wonder what does watching my stream have to do with the content of this thread? 90% of my stream is just my playing the game. Speaking of childish behavior. It is hard to align the actions you display in your own stream with your indignant response to the Single Player Campaign. Your appeal does not feel genuine. Especially since Relic had a proper response months ago, which makes your upset overdue, mean-spirited and interlaced with other intentions. In: Lobby
Thread: Steam leaderboards and ranks explained30 Nov 2013, 12:21 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 03:17 AMBabaRoga Well the answer is quite simple: Competitive play and competitiveness have evolved, its that simple. The true reason these ranks and bulletins exist in CoH2 and other games (for example: unlocking weapons and prestiging in FPS games) is the guaranteed reward a casual player gets when playing the game. This reward is not entirely seperate from performance, as the time invested in playing the game increases the chance of gaining a reward earlier on. Nevertheless, the reward can be obtained independent of the skill level of the respective player. This increases the attractiveness to play the game. There is no clash of cultures and generations, rather than good marketing strategies. The "soccer mom kid" generation that is described here is merely an American phenomena and does not exist, to the same extend, in Europe. In: Lobby
Thread: So, I missed the whole "why russians hate coh2" thing...30 Nov 2013, 11:58 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Nov 2013, 03:57 AMEsky I feel dirty and ashamed to even be associated with the game now. This is exactly how I felt after watching your stream for a few minutes once. The ignorance and childish behaviour displayed there puts the Single Player Campaign in perspective. Relic already acknowledged that certain mistakes have been made, making all your appaling war crime comparisons obsolete. In: Lobby
