Thread: I don't get the NDA3 Oct 2014, 10:22 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2014, 09:08 AMHighfiveeeee As stated in the headline. I studied communication design so somehow I can relate to some marketing techniques as well but I honestly don't get how the NDA (the 'rule' that testers from new CoH2 content are not allowed to share the new stuff they have seen) should increase the player base excitement. Let's take a look at other games. When Call of Duty is going to release a new game or a DLC they will tease it months before. Be it gameplay teasers, trailers or simply some infos about the upcoming product. This creates excitement because the fans know what is coming at them and they can thrill themselves thinking 'oh my gosh this is going to be so awesome, I need it!' When Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was teased some years ago I thought 'holy shit that AC130 is coming to multiplayer I cannot believe it' just from seeing a 2 SECONDS CLIP in a trailer. For that reason I was so excited that I got the game on the day it came out. Now back to CoH2. The NDA chokes off every single spark of excitement because you literally are not allowed to talk about it. What is the reason behind this? Does Relic want to be 'mysterious' about their content hoping to increase the anticipation with the lack of informations? Honestly everyone here knows it doesn't work. When League of Legends introduces a new champion there will be at least some mysterious image on the starting screen to allow the community to riddle what is going to happen. I always think that Relic wants to create something like Area 51 or Roswell by keeping their stuff top secret. But the sad truth is that nobody cares. The CoH franchise is too small (with about average 4.500 players online) that someone would really invest a lot of time to reveal those things. At the moment every one knows somehow that the Observer Mode is coming to the game. But there are ZERO images out there showing the interface or functionality of this feature. How should we be excited if we have no reason to excite ourselves? It was the same before WFA came out. Ok there was a teaser that showed some new units (that was done well, Relic) but then nothing else happened UNTIL THE GAME CAME OUT. How would someone want to preorder something he has only seen in a minute-long video? I also was in the Alpha testing phase and I was so excited about all the new stuff that I really felt uncomfortable that I was NOT ALLOWED to share my excitement with anyone. What should happen, my god? If someone had leaked that there is a Königstiger in the add-on would it have destroyed the excitement for a upcoming release of WFA? Do you fear the critics about the decisions you made when creating a add-on for the game? No!! That would have been the best marketing thing possible: Viral marketing. Honestly, I had to make a friend of mine come over to my place and watch me playing on my monitor to show him something about the game (did I somehow broke the NDA? Lol). Good thing was that he also plays CoH2 and was some kind of interested but other people would simply have said 'Yeah, whatever, let's play something else' because they didn't even have the chance to delight themselves because there was absolutely nothing that gave them reason to. There is no bad marketing because even bad things make people talk about something. The only bad marketing is no marketing at all. You plan on an upcoming singleplayer content called 'Ardennes assault'? Good luck selling it with those strategies. Oh, Canada, why, why they even you make a country????? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Can we have a video like ASAP in WOT?3 Oct 2014, 10:19 AM In world of tanks, weeks or even month before launching the new patch, they will make a video to introduce you all the new incoming content and balance change, this kind ASAP video can allow player see the progress of the game developer have been made and can definitely introduce new players, Personally speaking, i believe Relic should do that, you guys are not doing Rocket science or many Manhattan secret projects, you guys are selling games, you guys should be excited to introduce player new content as soon as possible, but not hide it inside a black box, most of players just actually dont get NDA, WOT hold sorts of activities every week, come on, Relic, use your imagination. Maybe you finish Task one day, like kill how many stuff, you can have especial skin or you can unlock a box or etc. You cant expect the player would still be there and waiting for you another month to update, there are so many games for player to choose, your marketing team need to do better than that. I just dont feel your guys passion and motivation From a player who have been playing on COH since its release In: Lobby

Thread: SU-76: A Real Discussion7 Sep 2014, 14:43 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Sep 2014, 14:31 PMKallipolan Pretty much since launch, the Soviet SU-76 has been commonly written off as rubbish, useless and a waste of fuel. It is probably one of the least produced units in the game. However, I've been experimenting with it quite a bit over recent games, and I've come to some different conclusions. The start with, the SU-76 fits into a strange role as a late-game unit with fairly weak AT that relies on a long cooldown ability for AI. Its an odd combo, but one that is quite well suited to certain situations. In particular, if rushed out the SU-76 can shut down many light vehicles due to its superior range. It also does very well against infantry with the HE barrage ability, which can wipe Grens in one shot with some RNG. The barrage is particularly useful on urban maps, since it is indirect fire and can destroy most neutral buildings in 2-3 shots. Similarly, it is decent for pushing OKW trucks, since it can pull out much quicker than a Zis-3 of the OKW player counterattacks. However, the unit has a lot of problems. The T4 requirement is a big one, since this adds 120 fuel to the cost and means that the SU-76 usually misses its effective timing window. It is too fragile, which makes it very easy to hunt down with something like a P4 or Puma. The HE barrage has a very long cooldown. Finally, it lacks the penetration to be effective against any true tanks. Therefore, while I quite like the vehicle, at the moment most people are correct in their assessment that it isn't worth using. I'm interested in what people think needs to be done to make the unit viable. Personally, I would like to see its use as an AI, anti-blob tool enhanced. This could either be done by giving it increased accuracy with normal shots (making like a fragile Stug with better range) or by giving it a shorter cooldown on the barrage. I also think some form of survivability wouldn't go amiss, maybe something like a smoke projector so it isn't utterly fucked the moment a tank hits the field. What do y'all think? Anyone got any SU-76 success stories? the problem is soviet tech structure, not like US. i would suggest, soviet T3 and T4 both cost only 40 fuel, T3 can build halftrack initially T4 can build su-76 initially but need to unlock t34, T70 or su-85, katusha more fuel need to be spent, spend additional 40 fuel, unlock t70, another 40 fuel, unlock t34. spend additional 40 fuel, unlock Katusha(typo), another 40, unlock su-85 In this way, soviet can have more tech variability and more combined armed options. However, it is really up to Relic \, how would they like to proceed. In: Red Army Strategies

Thread: Foucs on the details, Relic, Plz21 Aug 2014, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Aug 2014, 21:00 PMCynthia_RE Our office is comprised of several different teams. The people working to resolve bugs are not the same people that develop new features or content. Developing new features/content does not detract from other aspects of game development, such as fixing bugs/QA team. well, that is the problem the guy knows how to fix the bug cant fix but move forward the guy who does not know how to fix it have to pick up from beginning to find where the bug then fix it In: Lobby
