Thread: [animation bug] SMGs firing into ground22 Dec 2016, 18:14 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2016, 18:04 PMOsinyagov I don't think, that Relic or CBT (Community Balnce Team) can solve this issue. It's probably not an animation bug though. I think I worded the title wrongly. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: [animation bug] SMGs firing into ground22 Dec 2016, 17:29 PM Some SMG type weapons fire into ground after re-positioning. It usually takes almost 1-2 seconds for the squad to aim properly again; Bug or working as intended? In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: Relic: have an awesome idea for balance? create a mod20 Dec 2016, 15:55 PM I think many people missed this important part from the 2017 Roadmap. This is the original text: So if you too think you have an awesome idea for balance, we encourage you to create a tuning pack and have us and the community put your feedback to the test! We will gladly review and incorporate changes that we feel prove beneficial. https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/243407/coh2-the-road-ahead (basic categories and parameters you need to tweak in order to build a simple tunning pack, like changing a vehicle's damage, speed, veterancy bonuses, infantry weapons etc.) Right. They said they will incorporate your ideas, if proven beneficial and popular. So if you feel you have a perfect fix for some stuff, or your solution is better than the ones provided by the current balance team, gather all of your ideas into a single tunning_pack, publish it on steam and start a topic about it on this section. Actualize your theories! Let everyone know whether you are the doer or the dour! Where to start? There you go: https://www.coh2.org/guides/26089/coh2-modding-getting-started-with-the-official-tools The attribute editor already includes short descriptions for most variables and values. Still, if you run into any issues, you can start a thread about it and ask for help, there are at least 5 professional modders who will happily respond to you. If your mod is an extensive tuning pack which covers multiple areas and addresses a wide variety of subjects, like Kappatch, Competitive Edition, Dreadmode, Wikingier and the GG Mod for example, feel free to contact GB Hooligan and ask for tips on running a tournament for your mod. That should help exposing your mod to more people and prove its efficiency and success in action. You have to be more realistic and practical when coming up with ideas though and have a decent understanding of current playstyles and popular strategies as well as decent amount of experience in competitive play. No one would accept a Jetpack upgrade for obersoldaten for incorporation into the live game! In: Modding and Tools

That is the best way to speak your ideas. Uploading a polished mod with full explanation regarding the changes. Jump back to quoted post19 Dec 2016, 20:52 PMZombiFrancis Also it seems the quantity of replay submissions seems to be the metric of authority. Which is a little problematic since recording replays can render the game unplayable for many. TBH, this 'replay pls/Out of scope' answer is a way to divert attention, dodge responsibility and mask own incompetence. Unless someone is shouting something like "OMG 222 is OP please remove the MG", there is no reason to shoot people providing valuable, formatted quality feedback with such answers. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update19 Dec 2016, 20:44 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:34 PMDangerous-Cloth Lol it is as I feared. These modders now think all of their wettest dreams are soon to be realized. The main problem I see with these guys is their hyperdefensive attitude in regards to their changes/methods and close-mindedness to Ideas proposed by the community. This hostile atmosphere is further intensified by rude comments from some members who attack individuals involved in the WBP Mod. Instead of coming up with their own mods and logical explanations.

Thread: Good Book For Balance Designers 18 Dec 2016, 21:23 PM Superforecasting : The Art And Science Of Prediction People have been trying to make the sick well for as long as people have been getting sick. But “wretched”? That is less obvious, even for readers familiar with the history of medicine, because “most histories of medicine are strikingly odd,” as the British physician and author Druin Burch noted. “They provide a clear account of what people believed they were doing, but almost none at all of whether they were right.” 4 Did the ostrich egg poultices applied by ancient Egyptian physicians actually heal head fractures? In ancient Mesopotamia, did the treatments of the Keeper of the Royal Rectum actually keep royal rectums healthy? What about bloodletting? Everyone from the ancient Greeks to George Washington’s doctors swore that it was wonderfully restorative, but did it work? The standard histories are usually mute on these scores, but when we use modern science to judge the efficacy of historical treatments, it becomes depressingly clear that most of the interventions were useless or worse. Until quite recently in historical terms, it was not unusual for a sick person to be better off if there was no physician available because letting an illness take its natural course was less dangerous than what a physician would inflict. And treatments seldom got better, no matter how much time passed. .... You probably realized a couple of things. First, conscious thought is demanding. Thinking the problem through requires sustained focus and takes an eternity relative to the snap judgment you got with a quick look. Second, “ten cents” is wrong. It feels right. But it’s wrong. In fact, it’s obviously wrong—if you give it a sober second thought. The bat-and-ball question is one item in an ingenious psychological measure, the Cognitive Reflection Test, which has shown that most people—including very smart people—aren’t very reflective. They read the question, think “ten cents,” and scribble down “ten cents” as their final answer without thinking carefully. So they never discover the mistake, let alone come up with the correct answer (five cents). That is normal human behavior. We tend to go with strong hunches. System 1 follows a primitive psycho-logic: if it feels true, it is. In: Lobby

Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update18 Dec 2016, 21:06 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2016, 18:41 PMKurtWilde This is not CoH mate. Don't be so 2012 His point still stands, T1 doesn't need AT. Countering penals, M3 and snipers require vehicles, giving the Tier any sort of early AT doesn't work. And people who have been playing this franchise since its creation have a intuitive understanding of core game mechanics, asymmetrical aspects and game balance in general. Nothing to do with elitism or stuff like that, but experience and overall time spent on the games. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.3 Update17 Dec 2016, 16:13 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Dec 2016, 15:36 PMHelpingHans I agree with most people here that Penals simply do not need PTRS. T1 is not supposed to have AT. As Budwise said you should be punished if you attempt to be greedy with penal spam and then get hard countered with a light vehicle. You want it so that guards are not the automatic choice? Make them non-doctrinal, put them in tier 3 or something and then spice up the commander roster a bit. The view expressed by Budwise is a pretty accurate description of strategic concepts behind the Tier. Making guards non-doctrinal is also a welcome suggestion, if not a bit intrusive.
