Thread: Lock Demo Behind Veterancy14 Jan 2017, 14:31 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Jan 2017, 07:17 AMPlaguer Sometimes I've lost 2x SPios to a single demo thanks to my own stupidity but I've been easily able to come back by changing up my game plan, but if those were late game volks/obers with vet 5 and weapon upgrades I would probably get run over by infantry without a chance in the world, taking in to consideration that the game has been even up until that point Also, goliath is shit because it gets SPOTTED, it's not invisible, just stealthed You must have played some rank 4000 if you can somehow lose two OKW sturms and come back. Double sturms at the start is almost never viable... And good job with your troll post as no one is going to come back from a early 600 MP loss :0 Also Goliath is crap because it moves sloooowwwwww and it makes huuuggggggggeeeeeee noises. Would think that thing is a King Tiger. No one would die to a demo if it made a noise when you got near it -.-" In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Balance for infiltration squads badly needed?14 Jan 2017, 14:26 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Dec 2016, 18:43 PMMr.Smith That's a good option. Partisans will require a cost recalibration regardless (they are definitely NOT worth 35MP per model); it's the dirt-cheap MP price that makes them an overkill. Other alternatives are: - Give a delay between issuing the infiltration command, and the squad actually spawning (say 20 seconds) - Make the squad spawn with crap weapons, and they regain their default weapons after a delay has elapsed Hope you are kidding :X Reworking (OKW) infiltration squads would require major rework of OKW. OKW Volks are pretty garbage(since vet nerfs)/comes way too late(obers). JLI/fall spawn is the only real way OKW is killing a early sniper. JLI and Falls (especially) are needed to somehow stay alive vs retard durable Maxim spam. Falls still suffer from plus 50 percent explosive damage and weak vet bonuses. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: UKF Snares - How to balance?14 Jan 2017, 14:11 PM Because allies are the light vech terrors of the game :x Hey, they do have a snare. A mine... UKF anti tank gun can sprint which sort of makes up for not being able to snare. Early lights like the kubel/halftrack/222 get mauled by a vickers as they have piss poor armor. UKF seems fine as is.

(Protip: It's the vet 5 volk squad) Also giving demos vision is just a troll suggestion, I wonder why I'm being this serious with this answer anyways when obvious troll is obvious Pro tip: Losing a volk squad early is devastating. Losing a Sturm early is pretty much good game. Having to worry about an instant squad wipe demo that may or may not exist in the early game when you are strapped for resources is just not fair. Obviously demo already instant squad wipes and that is without vision. Obviously it would be better if there is no opportunity for a squad to be wiped at the 8 minute mark. Obviously you will now be able to stop demo from even being there at the 30 minute mark by devoting attention to killing engi whenever possible. Guess what currently has stealth and vision and blows up for huge damage? The OKW Goliath has vision and is somehow not op but instead total trash... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lock Demo Behind Veterancy12 Jan 2017, 18:00 PM Trying to achieve the following by changing demo: 1. Give demo a soft tell via seeing a vet 2/3 engi. 2. Being given a different way to counter demo (besides sweeping) via wiping the vetted engi. As getting vetted up late game just does not happen easy as engi vs 40/60 percent accuracy units is lol horrible. 3. Stop early game (first 15 minutes) demo wipes. 4. Help Axis early game by not having to worry about fast demos and being able to buy shrek/whatever. On another note engi can vet up pretty fast. But it is just not normal most of the time. And if you now give priority to wiping the engi, then vetting will be slower. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lock Demo Behind Veterancy12 Jan 2017, 17:35 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2017, 17:28 PMBlalord Change the vet system just for one unit is strange... i still dont understand the need of a demo buff nowadays Losing a Vet 3 unit to a self spotting Demo charge would be totally absurd ... You forget the nerf it gets as you would need Vet 2 in order to build a demo. Meant to be a nerf and a buff as SU players would just cry a river if you did a pure nerf. Would also like to see you do a six minute vet 3 engi -.-' Top 10 people lose Vet 3 squads to....non-spotting demos.... So don't really see your point. If you don't got a spotter you will still die.

Thread: Lock Demo Behind Veterancy12 Jan 2017, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2017, 17:10 PMBlalord You can have a engie vet 3 something like 6 min in the game its not really late game Easy fix...just increase the amount of vet it takes to get to vet 3.... Engi vet 3 is just "no longer takes extra damage while repairing, +15% accuracy, -15% cooldown" so it will not be a huge loss if they take longer. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lock Demo Behind Veterancy12 Jan 2017, 17:24 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2017, 17:05 PMImagelessbean Vet 3 is very easy to get with flames as pointed out. Giving the demo anything will only make it more attractive. In fact, in this you have just straight buffed the demo as your first munitions will almost always go to flames, maybe a mine. By the time you get vet you have upgraded what few infantry can get upgrades and you are looking to wipe blobs or vetted squads. It is at this point that demo's are attractive. Adding sight will only increase the problem. A strong no from me. This change is taking into consideration 1.4 balance preview. Vet 3 really does not happen fast as 20-30 minutes is not fast... Flamers on Engi (as opposed to penal) is only really viable on heavy building maps as they just don't have very good durability. Clown car not being as strong once the awesome OKW faust changes go live. Heh, if all the Engis go flamers. Would feel good if the SU did not have a zillion engi with sweepers. As to conscript merging with engis....would be good for the game as it would then give conscripts a strong reason to exist as usually people only merge to dying weapon crews and perhaps elite squads. By the time you get to vet 3, the other guy can afford to have two sweepers (esp ost). And going flamers would lesson the amount of muni you have for the demos themselves! In: COH2 Balance

Its something the SU players have wanted forever. Seems like a good compromise to me. Take away early demo play and in return give stronger late game demo play. In: COH2 Balance
