Thread: Keeping Teamers Separated In Automatch From True Randoms 5 Dec 2019, 00:49 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2019, 23:50 PMT.R. Stormjäger By all means, I play 4v4 too, but I don’t understand why 4v4 random automatch’s ranks matter. Case of point my okw rank in 4v4s is around 4000 and my 1v1 is 134, so that speaks a lot on how unbalanced the game mode is. I don’t think it’s a teamgame symptom though, because I find 3v3s a lot more balanced and fair, and in my view 3v3 rank is more indicative of player skill. I disagree on premades being the culprit, I think it’s primarily smaller map sizes over player count, as well as being more prone to bugsplats while loading. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you or if you misunderstood me, but the ranking issue I brought up was that arranged team of 2 (2v2) is affected by arranged team of 2 (4v4) and how the two should not be conflated, which currently they are. The debate about whether 4v4 random rank matters isn't something I care to pursue. In: Lobby
Thread: Keeping Teamers Separated In Automatch From True Randoms 4 Dec 2019, 23:17 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Dec 2019, 23:09 PMT.R. Stormjäger Fair, but generally I would avoid that because the 4v4 playerbase is uhhhh mentally unstable. That's your choice, but plenty of people like to play big silly games with lots of explosions because it's fun; even with the badly typed insult fiesta that is 4v4 randoms. There's a different experience and is totally different from what 2v2 or 1v1 can ever approach in terms of spectacle, mayhem, and sheer scope. My friend and I were rank 30 in arranged team of 2 because we played 4v4s. Our choice to have fun in big dumb games then led to us having some weird 2v2s; but also it really messed up the ranking in general. Anyway, I brought up the question because it seemed most people like the idea of separating arranged from random in concept, and so I was curious how this hybrid situation would pan out. In: Lobby
Thread: Keeping Teamers Separated In Automatch From True Randoms 4 Dec 2019, 23:04 PM How would a separate system even work for say a team of 2 wanting to play a 4v4? A separate ladder there or just non-ranked play? TBH when I read the thread title I assumed it was about how you aren't guaranteed to spawn next to your arranged team mate in such situations.

Thread: Ostheer T4 Hot garbage or Actually fine?29 Oct 2019, 20:07 PM I agree with Aerafield; all I'll add is that if you do decide to buff/nerf anything here, please keep in mind how it will affect game modes outside of 1v1. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: IR Halftrack durability...27 Oct 2019, 21:03 PM Turn it into normal sight extension, like a permanent 'focus sight' with greater range. Maybe make the 'IR' part of it a timed/muni ability alongside it. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: T34/85 or KV1 in Soviet Industry Commander? 7 Oct 2019, 21:02 PM RE: Industry Why not focus a bit on the CEs for this commander? Perhaps something like 0cp = CE's work 25%(or whatever number) faster when 1) repairing, 2) building things, and 3) laying field defenses And later give them a 5 man upgrade, maybe at CP4, to scale them even more. Just a thought since CE's really don't get any attention at all. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: sturm officer 4 Oct 2019, 21:28 PM I agree with Honeynuts. I'm also continually frustrated with people's "long range" tests that have the units unaligned, which results in one model sometimes not being able to shoot all of the opposing squad's models, or makes it easier for one model to be focused on by the entire opposing squad. Putting them on a line via sandbags then deleting them will still leave RNG for the latter issue, but at least it won't stop a model from shooting because the enemy is "too far away".

Thread: Howitzer Ninja Changes26 Sep 2019, 21:47 PM Does the change apply to Priest and Sexton too? If so, IMO, the change is fine -- though it does sting howitzers who "take longer to shoot their barrage" than those who finish faster. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Rifles overperforming?24 Sep 2019, 17:43 PM Why not consider placing Stuart back with Captain and AAHT with Lieutenant? A big piece of the issue, I think, is 50 cal + m-20 + stuart = everything you need for that phase of the game. And since you only need to partial side tech for AT gun, you're not at a HUGE loss to get that (and you get an extra squad which can help offset the cost). Switching it around now means you have to full tech for m-20 and stuart, which will be a more significant delay to go major. In: COH2 Balance
