Was hoping for more out of the game. Personally, I wonder why there is no cover, no retreat button and no veterancy? That would make it so much more engaging. Without those I feel like I m playing an unranked 4v4 SC2 game, building up a blob and a-clicking it around. I have SC2 for that already, so why play this... Elite units are fun I suppose, the Eldar 4 point assasin chick (whatever her name is) being my favorite, but they are another thing that affects balance negatively. The space marine 2 point elites (the squad that lands in pods) for instance, will just decide a big early-mid game skirmish by landing on opposing troops mid-battle and thats gg right there (since you cant retreat from there).

Even without elites, there seems to be little comeback mechanics. Essentionally if you lose a squad or two well thats it, you will be a squad or two down for the rest of the game and the chances of you winning are now drastically reduced. Many ordinary units and elites have interesting abilities, that seem to be cool and theoretically are effective, but so far my experience has been don't bother with individual squad microing and abilities, focus on getting a bigger blob of stuff and focus fire at will. The only thing you might wanna micro is the elites, and thats only for when abilities are off cd. This makes for pretty dull gameplay overall, especially in god damn mirror matches. I barely manage to stay awake in those.

So basically, interesting idea kinda mixing rts with moba, but needs so much more polishing and thought. For now I'll just stick with SC for the rts part, and HoTS for the moba

P.S. Nearly forgot, for me personally the way stealth works in the game is kinda stupid. Needs more ways to reveal or break stealth. For instance, 3-4 squads of eldar rangers can pretty much one-shot an enemy squad. They move in stealth and have a monstrous firing range. So focus down a squad from max range, soft paddle back a bit, get back in stealth - rince repeat. Btw 3-4 ranger squads isn't a late game army or smthn, you can get them fairly quickly, its an early-mid game comp. Dumb.

G'day folks

I'm looking for some advise on streaming with obs, it so appears I found a way to do it from China (which seemed impossible before), and I streamed a couple of days ago. I have a couple of questions for any streaming or pc software gurus out there that might help me:

1) Whilst streaming, the ui interface of coh1 kept blinking at times. I was told in stream chat that there was no lag or anything, but the ui (minimap, unit icons on the right etc.) was blinking through out. Is it a problem with the capture? Should I tweak source settings or something?

2) And a question unrelated to coh - at the end of that stream when I ve had my share of coh1 for the day, I went to play a few rounds of Heroes of the Storm. Left the stream on just for the fun of it - maybe someone would get a laugh of chinese voicework ^^ Thing is, after exiting coh and launching hots, the stream turned black for everyone. Anyone have any idea why it would work fine with coh and then not capture hots?

Well thx in advance

Ah this is cool.

These ones?

Yeah those included How fun that was back in the day. I ll keep you posted if and when I download coh and install the mod

I logged into CoH today for the first time in like a month. Since this patch or w/e its unplayable because of constant 5-10 sec freezes followed by an x4 speed during which units are uncontrollable. And yes, I checked, its not my net. To be perfectly frank, at this point, I'm not even irritated, angered ot dissatisfyed or w/e; I am honestly IMPRESSED by Reli'c ability to take normally working things for "repair" and fuck them up so bad. Like, if someone starts doing THE EXACT OPPOSITE, they will be the best. So yeah, thats log in was probably my last. Such a shame.

P.S. Nearly forgot: BY GOD, Relic, don't you ever dare to make CoH HD. You will fuck something major up and ruin all the good old memories of it.
