Thread: World Championships is/was stale as old bread25 Nov 2020, 13:59 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2020, 06:08 AMichoosethesteak How is it admitting they have a problem with the game. "Come watch our broken ass game where one unit is so OP that it needs to be banned". That is admitting it is broken. And worse, if that commander needs to be purchased, now you are admitting your game is a shitty P2W game also. Everyone agrees, perfect balance is impossible. Some maps are meant for variety and not tournaments. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: CoH2 on 2020 Hardware25 Nov 2020, 13:51 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2020, 11:37 AMProtos Angelus The important question is: How to reduce FPS drops in teamgames. 1v1 has no fps drops throughout the 1h game. 2v2 has some, once both sides are at 100 cap. 3v3 starts getting stuttery at 15-20 minute mark. 4v4 is a general shit***w unless you have a brutal system. My guess is that larger game modes increase the two largest time killers: FOW and Pathing. vCOH calc'ed FOW like once every second. COH2 seems to do it almost every frame. And it takes a bit of time to do if done on the CPU as opposed to the GPU. Dont know where Relic does it. Maybe they moved to GPU for Coh2. Pathing just takes time in general. You have to guess all the possible pathways and find the shortest difference. So bigger modes = more units pathing, more units blocking pathing, larger maps so you need to do this calc a lot more, etc. This is probably all CPU based for 2013 code? Units also seem to favor red cover so vehicles get a speed boost on roads. But vCoh fans remember units that had to path long distances would just stop halfway there because they could not figure out a path anymore and their stored path got blocked. Larger game modes also have more artillery/tanks/mortars/AT going which means adjusting terrain height, terrain cover, terrain impass(pathing), terrain precise map(pathing unit width), terrain texturing, etc all on the fly while things are blowing up. I am always amazed the game runs at all. So kudos to Relic for the performance they got out of it. My point is dont get your hopes up too high. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: First Quarter 2021 Balance Patch25 Nov 2020, 13:33 PM I agree with Orangepest, Volks being trash is the main issue. OST is supposed to crutch on MG42 with pio support. But you cant cap a map this way in 1v1. So you spam grens which are weak and you lose. Your only option is Ass grens or Ostruppen. Especially since flame track got nerfed. I am not the balance guy. But I used to play this game a shit ton. And one thing I saw everyday is network/server lag. If you have long range units with lag, weird shit happens. Your long range units will be very weak because they wont start to attack until the enemy is almost on top of you. Example: 1) I make brit IS in green cover, Sturms rush me and rekt my no-no hole. 2) I make sturms and rush IS in cover, I drop 2 models before I get there. So either pios need a buff to protect MGs better or Grens need a slight buff on close range so they are not merely relegated to being rape witnesses. Buffing grens will water down the game since they will become more like every other faction. But who really wants the other option, MG spam? And of course the real-real issue is units doing way too much DPS close range. With lag and shitty animation code you should not be able to lose a whole squad in less then 5 seconds. But that would be a huge change. Too late for that. But for COH3 lets hope they hear us. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: World Championships is/was stale as old bread24 Nov 2020, 17:57 PM I would not expect Relic to have a tournament that bans commanders/factions/etc. That would be a public announcement/acknowledgement that there is a problem with the game. It was very cool that they at least talked about Zis gun bugs etc in their last big outing. For now we have AE and others that will make the tourneys fun. Maybe someone should have a small exhibition match called "Break the Meta" so players have to play against meta using a non meta commander. They get paid the same win or lose. And then maybe we will see something that could counter the current stuff. Thanks to the couple pros here that talked about Ostruppen being OP. Now we just wait for the nerfs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why aren't there team game tournaments?24 Nov 2020, 04:13 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2020, 01:45 AMSpoof Why doesn't this game have more 2v2+ tournaments? Balance issues? Maps suck? I would agree with GBpirate, a 1v1 tourney is probably much easier to organize and fund. 1v1 is also considered the main game mode. The 2v2 map pool is also a little underwhelming right now (may change when the patch hits). With that said, the last 1v1 tourney was a snoozer because of the meta commander choices. So right now a 2v2 tourney would be great since we could possibly see 4-8 different meta commanders as opposed to 2 meta commanders. In: Lobby
Thread: World Championships is/was stale as old bread22 Nov 2020, 16:46 PM I like to use Lend Lease as an example. Never used. Then quickly nerfed for being OP after VonIvan started using it. There must be some other strats out there. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: World Championships is/was stale as old bread22 Nov 2020, 16:05 PM Sadly there are probably alternatives that no one has decided will work or havent thought to try. I partially blame the players for the same picks over and over. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Relic working on Age of Empires 420 Nov 2020, 21:43 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Sep 2017, 16:36 PMRosbone If AOE4 is released on Microsoft Store only, I will never buy it. Simple as that. MS has a long history of trying to dip their toes into an established sector and failing. And after they fail they just abandon it screwing their customers royally. I would fear some system of not being able to play it unless MS store servers are running which they wont be when MS pulls the plug. <Cough><Cough> Ahem. Mixer. <Cough><Cough> In: Other Games
Thread: CoH2: All-Out War Edition - 64bit 20 Nov 2020, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2020, 21:10 PMTiger Baron Also is this update every coming out or is it another Cyberpunk 2077 that's endlessly gonna be delayed due to "reasons". The cant release during the tournament. If they actually have issues that are resolved it could come shortly after the tourney. If they have not fixed the issues...
