But for the rest us, the balance is vastly improved over what it used to be. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Impact of smoke on AT grenades11 Aug 2018, 17:09 PM It's a glowing testament to how good the balance is now that the ferocious balance forum argument is over something this minor. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Impact of smoke on AT grenades11 Aug 2018, 09:50 AM It may be worth actually confirming if this even can be changed before spending several pages arguing about it. It might just be another symptom of the buggy panzerfaust animation. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game10 Aug 2018, 13:07 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2018, 12:47 PMroll0 I wrote an entire reply not just that cherry picked piece you know. UKF needed love in return for nerfs but they got nothing in SBP, I blame both relic and Mr Smith and team. You obviously blame relic and he is not allowed to be criticized for any changes because according to you everything is the fault of relic for factions becoming underpowered. It's alright you know we can agree to disagree. I usually only quote the specific part I'm responding to so I don't spam threads with redundant text. Normally the post I'm responding to doesn't get invissed. I don't 'blame' Relic. I believe they're the only ones who make the call on what goes into their patches. The balance team however has no authority and therefore cannot be held accountable for patch content. Giving community content creators flak just discourages them and others from helping out. Relic's likely throughly desensitized to forum rage by now so all these personal attacks are going to achieve now is driving away the people who give their free time to help keep this game going.

Redesign, not total redesign. Community balance teams are limited in what they're allowed to change. Relic was fine with fixing popcap, they were not fine with giving Sections snares.

Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game10 Aug 2018, 11:12 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2018, 09:01 AMTiger Baron Static mortar is still static so I don't think it's part of the good design choices. No community balance team is ever likely to have carte blanche to make whatever changes they believe are necessary. A UKF mortar team and Infantry Section snare seems obvious to us, but Relic clearly disagrees else they'd have done it a while ago. They've demonstrated they're not afraid to make big changes: they overhauled OKW and added nondoctrinal PTRS rifles to SOV T1 so evidentally they don't think it's the right thing to do. Therefore, if we want to help UKF we'll need to think up changes that are acceptable to Relic instead of repeating the solution they're not going to accept. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF feels entirely uphill, the entire game10 Aug 2018, 10:24 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Aug 2018, 09:55 AMroll0 But considering Mr Smith's pop cap changes he lorded here made it in I think it's safe to say he had input. And if he had the input for such a wide reaching pop cap change he could have added a mortar and snare after that long list of UKF nerfs the "community team" introduced and lelic rubber stamped. No, he couldn't. You make it sound like Mr. Smith had a load of Balance Team Points or something that he spent on popcap changes. That's not how it works. The pop cap changes are balance tweaks. Highly impactful balance tweaks, but so is changing a core infantry unit. It's tweaking numbers up and down and Relic doesn't seem to have any issue with that. Adding a proper snare and mortar to UKF is changing the design of the faction and Relic apparently is not keen on that. Every variant of UKF snares under the sun came up and Relic reportedly shot them all down. If Mr. Smith really did have the clout to push redesigns through then he'd have probably got the Stuart/AAHT swap in. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A suggestion on how to fix Brits 9 Aug 2018, 21:40 PM What if Pyrotechnics also gave a smoke barrage? It puts the base howies on cooldown but it doesn't cost anything? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: A suggestion on how to fix Brits 9 Aug 2018, 19:59 PM - No idea what the deal with the Bofors is, I rarely see it nowadays being used even besides for heavy duty AA purposes at which it doesn't even excel at. It does a grand total of zero damage to planes. In: COH2 Balance
