Thread: (6) Oka River Frontline2 Aug 2018, 17:30 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2018, 11:57 AMSturmpanther Yo, I guess you meant favours south or? Yes favors the south The main goal was to get around the issue with the river. 1) The problems I see with the map: - IT HAS TO BE a 2v2 left and 1v1 right. Boring. By having similar resources, teams can choose the side they want. - Late game the river can be destroyed leaving North to be isolated from the city. Just make arty pieces and destroy the river. GG. With similar resources, disconnecting the south = disconnecting the north. 3) If the VP moves North/South it will be unbalanced with the cover at the perimeter of the cemetary. So it was moved North-East. In many instances the actual distance to the point does not matter, the distance to the cover matters. For instance the center Church is more important than the fuel/VP distances. So I moved it as far as I could. Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2018, 11:57 AMSturmpanther I would have no problem to just remove it completed tbh! And change the cover south side or north side. Atm north side has green cover, and south side only yellow. There were buildings there already so I tried to leave one in, but place it in a way to make it fun to play around. It will give good MG coverage North/South. It is sight blocked to the middle VP. And the new opening makes it very easy to flank. So you can take it for a quick advantage but you do not want to camp in it or you will eat a grenade. North side has more green cover: Truck and grave stones. South has a water trough(bath tub) for green cover. Could remove the truck and trough. The building also adds a sight blocker for the cemetary so you can retreat vehicles etc after engagements. 5) I would love to make a crossing on the river but it would ruin the look of the map. I made a version with bridges and it looked...weird? And you gain a solid crossing point but lose a little river crossing area due to the hills needed for the bridge. Other options would be make land bridges like in Rzhev winter. A large river would allow for boats in reality so I thought a regular bridge would look the most realistic. The bridge should actually be more of an angle and more south so units travel on it coming out of the base area. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: (2) Arnhem Checkpoint2 Aug 2018, 04:56 AM Does anyone have thoughts on making this map better? A couple quick ideas from a mappers perspective: 1. C1 and C3 need to be moved. This map is large but you only need to hold 1/2 of it to completely decimate your opponent. If north player spams MGs they can lock down the city and right side leaving south with almost zero resources. C1 is in plain sight and MG distance from the church. C3 is hidden and far enough away to take without shots fired from a major building. 2. These sight blockers have to go. In: Summer patch 2018

Thread: (6) Oka River Frontline2 Aug 2018, 02:57 AM A prominent community member has requested this map get looked at. Here is my assessment: (6) Oka River Frontline (v1) This map favors the north a little. The main problem is the river. Most of the fighting takes place on the west side of the map in a 2v2 format. North has to cross the river to get to the west. South does not. There is no cover on the river and late game it can become impassable. There were also a couple garrisons that over looked the river so south could put MGs and North is pinned in their base. 1. Moved the south munition to the east side of the map. Now there are equal resources on each side of the river. Two VPs remain on the west. 2. Moved the right VP garrisons so that building A contest building 1. Building B contests building 2. The sheds have one door (BLUE line) and sight blockers so North/South attacks are negated (not possible). 3. The middle VP is closer to the south. It was moved as much as possible to get it balanced with the terrain. The South also had better access to the area from the road. The road was also a dead zone of red cover. Going on the road was treacherous at best. It was also annoying trying to move back and forth from the west to middle VP. So a hole(BLUE) was added to the cemetary at the middle building. This allows the the road to be used more for flanking and to quickly gain access to the new shed position. Sight blocker hide the shed from the west buildings. 4. Building 1 was moved away from the left VP so that it mirrored building 2 better for coverage. Several new opening were made so you can play the game and not try to solve a maze puzzle The minimap in the unpacked files was bizarre so that was punched up as well. Cheers In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: Angoville 1 Aug 2018, 04:32 AM Latest version (2) Rosboneville (v5) 1. Changed north spawn to inside base area. 2. Adjusted other north and south spawns so they position better on minimap roads. 3. Moved south west spawn for balance additional timing of new north spawn. 4. Cleaned up the minimap. 5. Numerous cosmetic changes: Tiling, splats, splines, etc. In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: Lienne Forrest31 Jul 2018, 04:56 AM Everything all in one picture that needed fixed: 1. (BLUE) North MG areas(GREEN) were easier to flank. Added new path for south flank. 2. South had very little space for late game. Grove removed (YELLOW). 3. Both North bunkers had sight blockers. Northern most removed to closer mimic the southern sight blocker (PURPLE). North and South MG areas closest to VP(RED) are easiest to flank. 4. North did not have a enough space for an MG to hold by the west Munition passages. Grove size(PINK) reduced to give more sight and increased distance to travel for northern MG. 5. Cleaned up pathing allows for light vehicles and large AT weapons to get thru the forest lanes better. 6. The NORTH western based flanks (RED) are still slightly longer. 7. Added treeless pockets around VP for bunkers. A) The river is red cover and favors the North by Munition and south by the VP. Balanced? B) One of the Norths paths is all river (red cover). It is still the forrest, so grab your blobs and pitch forks and go find Shrek In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch31 Jul 2018, 01:06 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Jul 2018, 00:58 AMWhiteFlash I agree this is the devils advocates position and approaching ideas as such, its just a very weak position I dig the devils advocate approach thanks Rosbone All arguments have pros and cons. I just try to get all the ideas out there so you smart guys can get it figured out from everyones perspective You will also see me on here asking for transparency when these decisions get made. But it is hard to criticize when someones doing the work for free and Relic is at least letting the community make the game better. So I don't bark too much In: Summer patch 2018
Thread: 1vs1 Removing map from automatch31 Jul 2018, 00:54 AM Data is great. It tells you some very cool things. DEVILS ADVOCATE It does not tell you who is vetoing the maps. There is a large range of player skill involved in the data. And there are players, like myself, who tend to not veto any maps until they have played them enough to find something they don't like about them. And that something may have nothing to do with balance. Balanced or not, sometimes a map is just not fun to play on. Only the top 200 players (level 16) can truly speak to balance as they have played and strategized enough against players of their own caliber to get valid results. But even these players may not know why the map works. They just know how to get around its flaws in a way that fits their play style. I think the poll represents these things: - What Relic thinks needs to be removed? - What the "inner circle" wants removed? - (The vote) What the community feels when they play these maps? - No one has offered any reason/desire to improve these maps? There is one good reason to keep KFW. If the mods made to the summer version are disliked, players can veto the summer version and continue playing on the unmodified winter version.

Thread: The Utterly Atrocious Vehicle Pathing30 Jul 2018, 21:16 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jul 2018, 21:10 PMferwiner That one is clearly a problem with refusing to use reverse button. I never use the reverse button. I click reverse in the menu. Then COH2 dicks me because the UI needs fixed. I click on the button but am moving fast so I may drift off the button as my mouse button comes up. When coding there are two events you catch MOUSEDOWN and then MOUSEUP. For a program like MS WORD you want to use MOUSEUP to make sure the user is on the button when the mouse is released. For a game you want the MOUSEDOWN event because the user is moving at a frantic pace. COH2 UI uses the MOUSEUP event, not the MOUSEDOWN event. Needs fixed for COH3. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Utterly Atrocious Vehicle Pathing30 Jul 2018, 21:10 PM Another thing that messes you up is when a tank targets some other unit than the one you want it to. So it just starts spinning towards that target. Pay attention to your VEHICLES ONLY button. The only time I would call this a bug is when it targets units that are not in the game anymore, like the last guy running off the field when his team weapon is killed. You tank starts pointing away from the front lines and gets rekt shooting at a phantom unit In: COH2 Gameplay
