Thread: Any news on possible upcoming balance patch?11 Nov 2016, 19:36 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Nov 2016, 19:39 PMOsinyagov I think i should explain my position. I suggest this guys because they have a number of interesting ideas about balance. Of course, if we give them our mandate to make balance in the game, they should not only implementing ideas from their mods, but solving problem with current balance. Smith and Cruzz are excellent candicates and hold a neutral view on balance. The other two are just proposing silly axis nerf in order to get attention and gain approval from people like katitof, aaa etc In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Any news on possible upcoming balance patch?10 Nov 2016, 18:35 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2016, 21:57 PMVuther We'd all think Fyodor Dostoyevsky's not a very good author if we only read versions of The Brothers Karamazov where 75% of it was cut out at random and poorly-translated into our language. As explained in my previous post, the rest of changes don't fit the design and factions profile. We aren't missing out that much. Let's look at these unwarranted overbuffs/overnerfs for example; These odd changes are not approved by the community, expect probably katitof, aaa, Sir WinsHueHue, IamCat and Zerocoh. As someone who has paid the full price for this game and all of its content, and who has been a fan of the AXIS factions since 10 years ago but also plays as all factions, I don't deserve this kind of mistreatment. I demand industry standard design and game-play experience. That said, there are some emergency hotfixes and tweaks already implemented by miragefla, Dreadbot, Smith and Smasher which should be included in the live game, ie the territory points blocking, doctrine rework etc. Anyways, I think we are derailing the thread, I expressed my concerns regarding Osinyagov's proposal.

If anything, squad wiping should be exclusive to the heaviest and most expensive arty units. But even then, that would be still unpleasant and anti competitive. In: COH2 Balance

True, It basically made one third of the players uninstall the game and run for their life. Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2016, 16:42 PMTheMachine The last time that happened Relic didn't implement the USF Mortar properly as it was far what was tested and intended. The USF mortar was fine in the May Balance Preview. USF mortar was one example. The changes suggested and *advertised* from the "Competitive" mod basically killed the asymmetrical balance concept, made the axis factions even less enjoyable and a lot weaker and overall it proved to be unpopular. Some more mind boggling cases aside from the obvious USF mortar trolling include; Penals Over buffs without adjusting their veterancy Allies artillery triple buffs succeeded by cost reduction Messing up OKW Teching T34s buffs succeeded by cost reduction Though I am very glad relc didn't go ahead and implement all of the changes included in the "competitive" mod, or else all of us would be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2016, 18:40 PMTobis It's not the balancer's fault, Relic messed it up. The mod author never claimed to be a "balancer" to begin with (whatever that term means). It was a pretty fun and enjoyable mod, praise worthy for the hard work and dedication. But not appropriate to be integrated into the live game. Relic lacked the professionals to come up with Ideas, so they went ahead and chose the mod which 'seemed' to be the most popular at the time. However, the balance complaints raised up significantly right after the patch went live, and proved the fact that it was a wrong decision. Not to mention there are some mods which are much more coherent and provide more appealing ideas, including The First Reinforcements, DreadMode: Realism & Balance and recently the Commander Rework by PlanetSmasher. Jump back to quoted post9 Nov 2016, 19:11 PMOsinyagov I hope A-team from community will include this guys: Cruzz - Game Mechanics Specialist Mr.Smith - Lead Bug Solverguy Miragefla - Lead Balancer TheMaschine - Balance Designer 1. Indeed. He seems perfect for the title. 2. Highly motivated guy with lots of expertise, definitely a worthy candidate for the Bug Fixing department. His balance ideas don't seem to fit with the overal coh2 design though. 3. I think we could have a closer look at the current balance and reevaluate our judgments. 4. No. Read the GG's change-log for explanation. Fun mod to try, and kudos for the hard work. But certainly not relevant to the live game and how it is designed. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Artillery27 Oct 2016, 01:22 AM Unfortunately the formatting has confused some of our members. Those mentioned units are the perfect example of a balanced arty unit. But overall most arty units in this game are quite devastating, require no micro or strategic thinking and are pretty affordable. The Pack Hoitzer, Panzerwerfer, StukaZuFuss, Calliope, The mortarpit, Katyusha, to name a few... Not only it kills the realism and immersion, it also makes the gameplay pretty bland, unfair and predictable. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic wants your vote about balance15 Oct 2016, 08:16 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2016, 07:57 AMAffunger Otherwise Just let GGMachine Mod fly and have the community take over with the mod and patches/updates. The ideas implemented in that mod are not supported by the community, and it isn't a popular candidate for a live game balance patch. It is, however, an interesting experiment with lots of effort behind it. By being new here, it means you haven't caught up with the new patching cycle from relic. In: Lobby
