Thread: Any consideration to reduce the RNG effects in COE2?7 Jul 2019, 21:37 PM Just wondering if Relic is considering lessoning the RNG effects in this otherwise great game? I know many have asked this same question in the past. Way too many times have I left a game feeling <strongly> that I either won, or lost, due to some extra-bad luck. After putting in a hard-fought hour-long game, I don't want to win or loose due to a few extra-lucky shots. I have played ~500 games of StarCraft over the past 15 years. I never once left a game feeling this way. It was ALWAYS the better played game that won. I would say ~25% of my games of COH2 ends up in 'rage' due to an entire squad going down with one grenade, or a my T34 missing several shots in a row while the opponent's P4 wipes my T34 out, ...at a critical point in the game. And somehow, it also really seems to come in sets of bad luck. Its not just one or two events typically. Realistic? Maybe, I don't really know. Fun? No, not nearly as much as the more deterministic combat of a game like SC. At least not from a competitive POV. Relic - pls consider reducing the RNG effects. Seems quite a number of other folks feel similarly. Who knows, maybe such a move would bring more folks to COE2, at least more of the competitive types. Because otherwise, COE2 is really a great game. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: RNG has too much of an impact on games7 Jul 2019, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Aug 2013, 23:06 PMInfernalis No I don't think so, it's not what made COH a success in the first place, it's all about the tactical use (positioning, flanking etc) of a few and specialised units. If you remove RNG the only difference is the game would more predictable which has more good points than bad points in competition. But Relic won't modify a thing it anyway. In: COH2 Gameplay
