Thread: KT should have penalties16 Nov 2017, 16:52 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2017, 16:24 PMKurfürst In theory. In practice one OST player cannot compete with 4 Allied players in building caches for the team, neither in time, neither in resources available. OST has the highest bleed of all and is usually manpower starved. Unless of course the OST guy doesn't do anything else but building caches while 3 OKW players enjoy 4 vs 3 for a good couple of minutes. It simply does not work that way. In practice this is how mOST of my 4v4 ostheer games go. I am often with 3 OKW. I build a few pios and mgs at the start to cover fuel/flanks/cutoffs. After each successful engagement, or after the first retreated pio is reinforced I start building caches where I can. The idea is to use pio flamethrowers to support okw in clearing garrisons and use mgs to keep them from being overrun by blob concentrations. After that it's usually brummbar next or t2 for flame ht for simcity and/or pgrens for clearing team weapons. Point is in 4v4s one player can easily do nothing but support. I'll sometimes FHQ as soviets all along the frontone to create ungodly strong positions for usf ukf allies. That kind of teamwork has more impact on the match than any faction design or individual unit performance. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kick out 4vs4 maps16 Nov 2017, 16:11 PM A lot of existing maps, at least official relic ones, would be great candidates for being modified. Many 4v4 and 3v3 maps could be fixed/improved given the opportunity. Rather than kicking these out, we could have discussions on how they could be improved. Way easier than making whole new maps from scratch. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: WBP V1.3 Stuka15 Nov 2017, 21:00 PM Yeah, unfortunately the balance team, in practice, keeps creating this scenario where they appear to be at odds with the community and relic simultaneously. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WBP V1.3 Stuka15 Nov 2017, 20:43 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2017, 20:35 PM__deleted__ If so, then tell me how is nerfing stuka healhbar going to: a) make the unit useless b) imbalance the game I am listening It may imperil the focus and quality of DBP even further. Like I said, I don't have a problem with the change itself. But I do fear that this potential patch is starting to move aimlessly, which doesn't bode well for community support as Relic determines what to implement and/or when and where to pull the plug.

Thread: WBP V1.3 Stuka15 Nov 2017, 20:29 PM Making changes to make changes to justify changes only obscures the balancing process. Even a good change can detract from the overall product if it's only partially (or not at all) addressing issues of imbalance. Every additional change lowers the chance of (proper) implementation. Every change makes it harder to gauge, measure, and track impacts on gameplay and balance. IMO this is more of an innocuous change, but it's something to keep in mind. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why DBP is destined not to work15 Nov 2017, 19:14 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Nov 2017, 17:19 PMsluzbenik The good thing about COH2 is about every 6 months you get a new game because they totally change all the unit's stats and accidentally buff some unit or another too much. The bad thing about COH2 is about every 6 months you get a new game that you have to relearn. Frankly they would have done better if they'd stuck to their core design decisions and found better ways to balance around problems. They stopped seeing the big picture. For instance, now every faction has an MG, because that was an easy solution to MG dominance and OKW blobbing. Balance by lazy handing out of abilities to make near-mirror factions. The game was more interesting when OKW didn't have MGs except in a doctrine though. We're still pretty far from pure mirroring, but honestly I think they should do nothing other than fix the most egregious OP units with this patch, I really am not even sure all the tank changes are needed. It's really tiresome having to totally relearn all the game mechanics, when the patches generally just CHANGE things, not balance them. Balance team has been explicit in that their goal is to give each faction new toys to play with. It's less about balance and more about implementing their revamp mod. Don't like their revamp mod? Tough luck. That's the screening process. In: Lobby

Thread: Arty in DBP15 Nov 2017, 16:26 PM This is where it starts to get tricky though. Would you agree that certain factions rely on team weapons more than others? In: COH2 Balance
