Thread: COH Steam gonna get fixed?25 Jul 2013, 09:12 AM I don't think they can afford to fix CoH not in terms of money but in terms of player base; there are not that many people playing CoH 2, and if CoH were to be fixed I suspect a reasonable chunk of players would make the switch back. Sinking the CoH2 ship before it even sailed. I predict CoH will remain how it is, and CoH 2 will get intermittently updated until an expansion or new DLC comes along. At which point they will no longer have the resources to work on the core CoH2 gameplay whilst they are bringing us new material. In: COH Central
Thread: COH Steam gonna get fixed?4 Jul 2013, 17:18 PM Let me try an explain why I think the game has been neglected (particularly in the last few years) 1) Keeping the servers up: well, that is the minimum they had to do so people who bought the game on steam could still actually play - since offline mode required a CD. 2) Anti-cheat measures: I have never been convinced rigorous anti-cheat have ever been implemented. I am aware that replays (at some point, certainly not for all of CoH's life) could be submitted to relic for consideration, and that gamereplays occasionally named and shamed some cheaters. 3) Bug and balance issues: 2.601 has provided us with the most balanced and (in game) bug free version of the game. The community had to wait almost 2 years for this patch (sat in 2.301). During which time a large part of the community left, with a disproportionate amount of the top players going. 2.301 and prior the balance really was awful. With it only coming close to balance just before opposing fronts got released. Regular updates for CoH stopped with the release of ToV. Other than in game, the leader boards have not worked correctly for 2-3 years (I cant remember when the search button last worked?), ever present NAT errors, servers going down (and coming back up with default map lists). I think hand on heart, we can only claim CoH had approximately 3 years of bug and balance support. 4) No feed back from the developers and publishers. I accept that balance/bug patches cost time and money. But an occasional 'hi' in the news feed costs nothing. This I think was of particularly bad form. Little bits of feedback from official sources are really appreciated. I know they are not obliged to do any of this stuff. But this is what really builds thriving communities, which I think CoH / CoH 2 is falling short on at the moment. In: COH Central

A huge amount of negativity and entitlement on this site. Personally I can't think of a single product ever that I've got better dollar to hours of entertainment value from than CoH. If relic said they are going to upgrade CoH on steam? Great. If you want more information about it why don't you email them or post on their site? Yea, people bringing up the EULA and threats of legal action are over the top. I also am dismayed at individuals who are willing to defend publishers who show very little interest in the fans (other than getting them to buy the most recent game/dlc/expansion). For me it is simple; if relic don't finish work on the first game, don't buy the second one. Down fan? In: COH Central
Thread: COH Steam gonna get fixed?3 Jul 2013, 11:21 AM Well, if Relic / Sega adopt your shitty and patronising attitude then they will definitely haemorrhage customers. Customer service and support means a lot, to a lot of customers. I am not going to trade with a company that historically has provided me with bad service. Even if this means not buying CoH 2. Fingers crossed they tie up the lose ends with the old title. In: COH Central

You understand nothing about budgets or resource allocations of a company who's job it is to turn a profit. Sorry, not all of us can reach the giddying heights of understanding that comes with being a, 'senior caster'. In: COH Central
Thread: COH Steam gonna get fixed?28 Jun 2013, 09:16 AM Saying they do not make money of it any more is not an acceptable reason for neglect. I brought CoH and the two separate expansions as they came out, for full price (so maybe ~£80 or ~$120 worth of game, cant quite remember the full prices). 6 years, and it STILL has many, many problems. In my eyes CoH 1 is the litmus test for how serious the current publishers/devs/owners are with regard to how seriously they regard their titles. In: COH Central

Thread: Humble opinion to improve COH2 sales=D14 May 2013, 08:35 AM Im not interested in potentially buying into CoH2 just to be exposed to a game that is left neglected and a community ignored by the devs/publishers. If they dont get CoH right, I will not be playing CoH2. In: COH Central
Thread: vCOH Flickering issue after clicking on and off tactical map9 May 2013, 13:19 PM I believe it is an SLI related issue (I run SLI and see the same phenomenon). Disabling SLI should 'fix' it. Your video does not show it, but I also experience flickering textures as well. I do not believe these are game specific bugs, and can potentially will manifest in any game run on SLI (I occasionally experiance something similar in BF3). In: COH Central
