Thread: Company of Heroes III - Your expectations20 Sep 2016, 15:21 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2016, 22:22 PMNoun a) the Quazal server frequently crashed. Near the end we were having hours long outages often without warning. It was pretty terrible. At the start it was great, but by the end before the transition it wasn't because their focus was shifting to supporting their own projects and away from vCoH. b) they were bought by Ubisoft who had no desire to host SEGA (or anyone's) games on their servers. So Relic are as likely to go with them again as they are of having EA host a game on their servers. Say what you will about the Steamworks performance, but Relic/SEGA invested a lot of time, effort and money to keep vCoH online at a time when most studios/publishers would have closed the game. Truth. World in conflict for instance. That game has no online multilayer anymore. Just played coh 1 and world of conflict at a small lan. I'm so glad I can still play coh1 outside of it. Been enjoying myself all week in automatch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Destroyer Time to Kill stats20 Sep 2016, 14:08 PM Quick question, why would your opponent start massing unturreted Tank Destroyers if you're building unturreted Tank Destroyers or vice versa? If I saw my opponent building SU85s I'd build a few paks or get pgrens with schrecks instead of StuGs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Tank Destroyer Time to Kill stats19 Sep 2016, 23:35 PM These are great stats and all, but I think it should be particularly stressed how utterly important positioning is in this game. The conditions for these stats are stacked to produce the highest possible performance from unturreted tank destroyers. That's what people should be reading from this. These stats are showing you exactly how important it is to utilize positioning to the best of your ability. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: People's mentalities toward OKW: Time to change19 Sep 2016, 23:23 PM I'm just hazarding a guess here, but the sentiment against OKW players may have something to do with where the medic truck ends up. Not that it's a uniquely OKW issue, but often times in team games an OKW player will be too far away or too aggressive with the placement of their HQs which can put a strain on how well their teammate can actually help or be helped. It might be a contributing factor is all I'm sayin'. In: Lobby
Thread: (2)Kolberg Outskirts16 Sep 2016, 17:34 PM Moved the base bunkers out of interactive zone. (Oops) Rotated HQs. (Stupid Brit base) Optimized Splines. Removed the negative cover road from the rightside base. (Oops) Added more Grasses Added a few more hills and variations going off into OOB. The playable area still does not have extensive variation due to balance issues with heighmap. Eliminated 8+ layer map chunks. Unfortunately I don't have further time to update my map. If only we had the weekend to work on it. Ah well, the OOB and base sectors still look like unfinished ass. Maybe if people like it I'll get a chance to make those look pretty in the future.

Thread: Soviet Teching Gone Intimate16 Sep 2016, 15:12 PM I like how everyone assumes Guard Motor by default anymore. But Shocks are always still apparently an option. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Company of Heroes III - Your expectations16 Sep 2016, 14:33 PM Well the DotA strategy is to throw SO much stuff into every game that it takes full-time dedication to understand all the heroes, abilities, and synergies. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Relic: Please hand over the balance to the community10 Sep 2016, 15:05 PM CoH2's community is too fractured to take control of the game. Honestly, I find that defining which community would/could take over balance to be as problematic as anything. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Company of Heroes III - Your expectations8 Sep 2016, 17:46 PM Honestly, a single Axis faction that had different voice actor packs and skins to mimic the Afrika Korps or an Italian or Hungarian themed division would probably have worked out well. An Allied faction with British, French, American, ANZAC, etc flavors would have likewise worked. Things like voice acting seemed to be more interesting to Relic's upper management than gameplay anyway. In: COH2 Gameplay
