Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)15 Jul 2017, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2017, 11:45 AMVipper Parts of the feedback I have provided have made it to both this MOD and in the Live game so I don't really feel any need for your advice on how to help the game become better (especially since I have not seen any suggestion coming from you). On the the other hand maybe you should follow your own advice and try to provide useful feedback for the moders instead of fixating on what at do. I probably have nothing more to say to you and little interest in what you have to say to me, so have a nice day. (P.S. if for any bizarre reason you find this post offensive feel free to report it, it would come as a surprise since once you got offended because I wished "marry Christmas") I'm not even sure why you provoke me with a "go on, report me!" request, but I have done it for you as you forced me to do so. There's no need to incite others to call in moderation because we disagree. But if you must tell us that you consider your feedback and yourself better than any other person in this thread and community, go for it. Regardless your attitude, I don't like your idea of balancing the elites, and there's nothing wrong to say that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)15 Jul 2017, 11:12 AM [...] At this point, I give up; give us your changes (if any) for the forementioned units as a starting point, and we can talk. If it is that simple, why don't you go through every unit and every weapon, put every unit/weapon in their respective classes and weapon combinations and describe the numbers for us as MrSmith kindly requested a while back? [...] Lower quality troops have -20-30% DPS, all weapon picked by elite infantry have +20-30% DPS. The idea isn't that great, as it'll just force players to get the biggest, most expensive, best bonus, and most elite units to win. Giving even more bonus to elite will just result in messy and boring DoW3-gameplay all over again. If dropped weapons using one commander was really a problem, there'd be more threads about it.

Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)15 Jul 2017, 11:01 AM The balance that MrSmith is attempting to achieve in the mod is way better than what you propose. The early game for ukf is really fluent and most fun in the mod. We haven't had the chance to try the new mortars. There's no need at all for a complete remake of early game. Do you want to play the mod sometime? Your experience seem to heavily rely on the live version.. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)15 Jul 2017, 10:55 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2017, 10:28 AMVipper "the layer of rules" you are referring to is already in the mod: Conscripts: Slot items - Receive accuracy penalty of -43% - This affects all slot items, including PPSH and PTRS Ostruppen: - Receive a permanent -50% penalty on all picked up items - Accuracy bonus only applies to default rifles Yeah, and now you still have to rinse and repeat that for every unit and every weapon combination. It'll result in balance hell and impossibly for gamers to find out what weapon drops is best on their, let's suppose, unit z with weapon drop k,l or m against unit k. That something is already in the game does not mean that it's good to expand on it. Or are you unhappy that I said 'add' layer instead of 'expanding' layer? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)14 Jul 2017, 11:02 AM The solution for picked up weapon is to have the penalties and bonuses (like ostruppen/conscripts) apply to all units. Drop-able weapon are balanced around mainline infantry lower quality troops get penalties elite get bonuses. I don't think the solution to balance is to add another convoluted layer of rules and subrules for each droppable item for a each unit. You'd end up with balance-hell and weird rules as seen in CoH1 with the targeting tables. And this massive amount of work would only be for specific moments within the game. It wouldn't even be fun to balance, or to play, and it'd be more of a step back. In: COH2 Gameplay

I told you countless times to PM me if you think I spend too much time in the shout-box or if you have other personal problems with me. Keep off topic insults off this thread. This is a community forum that promotes user engagement, and you're telling me off for shoutbox banter. Let's ignore this pointless bit of the sentence and focus on the next bit you wrote: Jump back to quoted post13 Jul 2017, 12:10 PMVipper ...Comet can use grenades as an ability from vet 0 with no other condition and that in the mod they simply need to research grenades (which by the way saw a price decrease) to have access to the ability. They do get additional grenades with vet but that is automatic and not an ability. Yes, researching grenades is a condition. Veterancy IS another condition that heavily change the ability. We're talking about the mod here, not live. You're arguing semantics. Play the mod at some point instead of focusing on live experiences. I even invited you countless times to play the mod with me.

Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)13 Jul 2017, 11:37 AM Just because they can throw grenades when certain conditions are met (Veterancy AND Mills bomb unlock!) doesn't automatically mean they counter ATGs. Most generalist counter ATGs one way or another when the ATG is flanked and without support. I still haven't seen anyone in the mod using grenades on comet to specifically counter ATGs In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Unofficial Revamp mod (EFA & WFA & Brits)13 Jul 2017, 10:47 AM Is it really unfair that certain Allies units perform better than their Axis counterpart? I don't believe it is. Certain units will be better, certain units will be worse, but that's the charm of having different factions, each with their own distinct character and distinct unique feel. I disagree that Allies units are to be balanced to be carbon copies of Axis units, whilst completely ignoring everything else game-play wise. It'd be incredibly boring if every unit had their exact counterpart on every side at all time. The game would feel like C&C with GDI fighting GDI; Axis vs Axis is already really stale, glad that it's not possible in automatch. So far, Mr.Smith has been really patient with his replies, despite offering great feedback to aforementioned changes and reasons why he did things in certain ways. Brits still need a bit of tweaking with emplacement and brace, but so far, all the changes are great, especially the FRP stuff. 4on4 with mod have never felt any better since WFA has been released.
