Profile of Noun

On the other hand i have watched some streams and posts made by relic devs on which coh2 factions are reffered to as races . Please tell the people in question to stop using that term especially when reffering to coh2 which deals with ww2 in which i am sure you know racially induced genocides occured . Its like talking about ropes to a hanged man's wife .

I think that's a fair point, for sure. The races thing is a hold over from people who are more used to talking about Starcraft or Warcraft where "race" is a thing that's relevant to talk about unlike a WW 2 game where it can be considered offensive.

Obviously we're all humans, and thus race isn't something that we need to be talking about. We should be saying "faction" instead.

Noun: Is it true you (as in Relic) didn't tell the Beta crew what changes to focus on in terms of impending DLC Commanders?

Is it true you just threw a bunch of Beta stuff at them and expected them to be able to balance and feedback on it randomly without context or direction?

Cos thats what the Beta team is saying.
They say they didn't know what was intended to go live, and that they where swamped with so many Beta differences they didn't know what to focus on.

I'm on PTO (meaning it's my day off). I've been out of the office for the past few weeks, first on PTO (paid time off) then in meetings in London with SEGA's community team and now again on time off.

Thus I wouldn't want to comment either way on how the beta is going.

I know that it's not a perfect process and we're looking at making it better all the time. If that's the feedback that the beta testers are saying in public I'd hope they're also sharing that to their contact at Relic.

Running ongoing betas is new for us, and I'm sure there's kinks to iron out.

But I can't confirm or deny what people who are in the beta are saying.

lol, so far in this topic only you find those ideas great (except idea #1).

I think all of our fans' ideas are worth considering, and when presented in a constructive manner deserve to be heard. It doesn't mean we'll put them all into place, but everyone gets to be heard with respect and consideration.

I think the idea of comparing this with Call of Duty or Battlefield is a bit off the mark. We're really looking at games as a service more than a title that gets a new full priced game every year or two. We're not going to drop a $70 CoH 3 next year. We intend to support CoH 2 for the long term, even more effectively than we did with the original.

We know that some people don't like DLC, and sometimes that's a fair opinion to have. But what items like the Commanders allow us to do is offer a greater level of support to the base game than we'd have been able to in the past. Free content like new maps, the World Builder and features like Steam Chat lobbies are all built off of support from the DLC. The Turning Point Update is a huge free update to the game, and there's content in there that would not exist if it weren't for paid DLC.

CoH2 was a full game on release, nothing was held back from it. It had as robust a single player campaign as the first, a multiplayer mode like the first and an entire new play experience with Theater of War which lets players play pre-set AI battles and co-op.

We have a long roadmap for the game, and we hope you guys will stick around. There's no need to buy all of the DLC, we don't expect everyone to. Just like we designed the original expansion packs for CoH to be useable if you didn't have the base game and for players who didn't buy the expansion packs to be able to play against those that did, we're dedicated to making sure everyone has a great experience no matter what version of the game or what additional content they may have.

We hope you like the game, we've got really great plans for it.

We are working with Steam to fix this.
