Thread: Did anyone change his mind on the free weekend about CoH3?12 Mar 2025, 04:20 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2025, 01:47 AMGbpirate Were you inspired by my video on the matter? Took me a while to summon the energy but the mockups are good, although I don't know how much time would be needed to realize them as I have no UI/UX dev experience. Any dumb bloke can make a mockup that looks good! I did not watch it yet. Since you made it, I just assumed it would be great! Watching a little now and I see at 4:45 or so you address the elephant in the room. Well done! Well thought out and informative as always. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Did anyone change his mind on the free weekend about CoH3?11 Mar 2025, 20:38 PM Since I am banned I have not played of course. All I cared about as a viewer was kill counts, which are there now! Hallelujah! The next thing that needs to be done is menus and observer mode. The skirmish menus are very bad and the new observer mode is only about 50% as good as Coh2s system. SKIRMISH MENU The menu needs to remember the current setup. Currently it remembers some settings. It needs to do ALL of them. It also needs to return to the Skirmish menu after leaving a game and have the correct settings. Example: You setup a game then notice something is wrong. You get to set it all up again because Coh3 sends you to the main menu and forgets settings. OBSERVER MODE The new normal mode forces you to select a player in order to get that players menu. This means randomly clicking units does not show you their actions page, resources, etc. This is a decent start, but it needs to follow the Coh2 form. If you click a player the actions panel, etc all need to switch to that player. The tourney mode etc does not show the actions panel. As far as Relic is concerned, the streaming modes are their to build a player base. Meaning they need to TEACH viewers how to play the game. Neither OBSERVER mode are usable as they sit. GAME PLAY The game play has been good enough for 75% of the player base for a while. Top players do not like the blobbing, etc but Relic does not appear to care. This is the Coh Relic wanted to make. Easier to play means more possible players. But it has cost 100's of top players leaving the game. PRICING Asking people to pay $60 for the base game and then forcing another $40+ for DLCs is not a good idea for an RTS. Currently the game and 1st DLC are on sale, which is really good. But they need to cut prices some more in a couple months. No sane person would drop $100 on a game they are not sure they want to play. So Relic is just price gouging the fans who already have the game and are trying to support them. SUMMARY Every step Relic takes is always 60% good and 40% bad. They need to really cater to the user experience and pricing from this point out. There are still a ton of bad reviews out there. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Retreating infantry vulnerability10 Mar 2025, 21:08 PM I have not played Coh3, but many Coh2 players have said the complete opposite. Retreating squads are much safer in Coh3. Units only take 50% damage when retreating in Coh3. Grenades dont normally do as much damage in Coh3. People just tank them usually. Trying to move is not a good idea in some cases. Might be a debuff when in cover so it better to eat the nade? Interesting. The massive blobbing could be the issue as was mentioned above. In: COH3 Central

Thread: i have to say all coh3 game designer are trash2 Feb 2025, 14:19 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Feb 2025, 22:26 PMaerafield For some insane reason, they were under the impression that 1v1 is the most important mode in CoH when in reality 90+% of the playerbase doesn't give a single shit about it This makes me sad. I said early on that 1v1 will probably be good with DevM on staff. Tarnation was mainly 2v2 so I hoped his knowledge would creep in. Marco was before my time. But I said Relic needs input from players like Aerafield and Sturmpanther so that 4v4 can be successful. It made sense to focus on 1v1. 4v4 players are usually easier to please. But each mode has such a different play style that you really need people from each. 1V1 This mode has many engagements with a single unit vs a single unit. So unit stats are very important. Healing can be base centered since units are constantly retreating and not clumped together in a blob. Artillery is minimally used. Over tuned units kill this mode. 2v2 Similar to 1v1 where each player tends to face a single player, but the maps are smaller so you have more 2-3 squad fights and less 1 on 1 fights. You also have synergy between the two teams commanders, healing, etc. Artillery can be important, especially late game. 3v3 Similar to 1v1 and 2v2 in that each player usually only faces a single player for much of the match. The maps tend to be either too large of too small. Both support blobbing. Forward healing is more important. Artillery less important than 2v2 if the map is very large. 4v4 Nothing like 1v1. There are always 2 players fighting together as a team. Rarely a 1v1 situation. Commander synergy is very important as is team communication. Forward healing is very important. Artillery is very important and usually decides balanced games. CASUAL PLAY Lane maps, MGs, mortars, tanks, and artillery are everything. Unit fights are meaningless. Play is based on Mg suppression and mortar bombardment. Followed by tanks and then artillery destruction. Over tuned units are fan loved qualities. Casual and 4v4 is most of the player base. 1v1 is the most exciting streaming mode because the other modes are too busy to catch most of the action. But as Aera said above, focusing 1v1 alienates most of the player base. I think the main fear top players have is that Coh3 released in such a terrible state that everyone fears Relic will mothball it before it gets all of these things balanced out. COH4 is the answer. Focus solely on 4v4 and push out a new version. Call it COH III Arena following the greatest game ever made Quake III Arena! In: COH3 Central
Thread: This guy Joe28 Jan 2025, 04:05 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jan 2025, 01:50 AMDedoStorm Rosbone, wondering if we can build a plugin, to fetch steam ids check if you have blocked this player, and a note why (all saved locally) ? I planned on adding this to makoCELO at some point. The only issue is you cant dodge the person. You can just quit the game. By the time the LOG file has their Steam ID, it is too late, you are already a part of that game. But it would help if the person changes their name all the time. In: Scrap Yard

Thread: any new strat guides ? 23 Dec 2024, 13:49 PM Well I wouldnt say whiners exactly. People wish the game was closer to Coh2. This blobbing, no skill, weird sound, bright colors game is not to their taste. Personally I think it is getting better. I keep seeing gradual improvements. And it is a decent game for most low-mid ELO players. That said, many here are in the mid-high ELO bracket and are not playing the game currently. In: COH3 Central
