Thread: How to avoid Bugsplat?4 Oct 2018, 20:38 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2018, 20:34 PMTheGentlemenTroll That causes that to happen with replays? Do they have a memory leak attached to them or something that causes bug splats? I think it has to do more with the "temp" replay file that all matches played are initially recorded to. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Teller mines and OHKs3 Oct 2018, 23:20 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Oct 2018, 19:58 PMthedarkarmadillo That's the thing tho, triggered by infantry is a drawback. You don't need minesweeper everywhere to sweep for Soviet mines, just some of those pios that already provide recon. If you find one you pay 50mp, try that with a CE and you lose your T70. Hell I've had fleeing weapon crews detonate Soviet mines. Kill the zis and have it sweep for mines for me! Dead men no less! Hitting a soviet mine with an infantry squad doesn't just cost you 50 mp. It costs you a potential successful push, a capped VP, or a stolen team weapon. I think it's accurate to say that mines that trigger on infantry has a trade off, rather than being a drawback.

Thread: Looking at USF2 Oct 2018, 17:05 PM Let me offer a few possible solutions that could be tested independently of each other: Introduce a +80 health to usf stock sherman at some level of vet. Switch Assault engineers and REs. REs become 5 man callin with free sweepers. RE flamers convert to RE callin. Remove RE suppressive fire and attach to m1919: ability unlocks on squad holding m1919. (May get wonky with stolen m1919s, etc. Could also be a passive on rifles/usf unit that's only enabled by m1919s.) Reduce Lt and captain cost to 100mp. No squad called in. Reduce upgrade time by 1/3rd. Lt fuel cost could be reduced/moved to major or other units/upgrades. Switch rifle vet 1 with smoke nade. Grenade upgrade unlocks pineapple nade and AT nade. Officers default vet 0 smoke, get at and pineapple with upgrade as rifles do. Pack howie could become an air drop unit like ATGs. Mortar HT could replace it. The t0 mortar team could be reverted to its older performance and made LT tier, also made into an air drop unit like the 50 cal, or eliminated. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Teller mines and OHKs29 Sep 2018, 16:19 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Sep 2018, 16:12 PMJibberJabberJobber How about slightly reducing damage and having it immobilise light vehicles? (but not heavier vehicles) That will reduce the effectiveness of (very) agressively placed tellers, while almost certainly securing a kill with defensively placed tellers This would make Tellers essentially Reigel mines. It could be a possibility to switch functionality of reigels and tellers. Reigels, being doctrinal, could be the big bad OHK, and tellers could be a reliable disabler. I dunno though. There's already a lot of snares in this game. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Teller mines and OHKs28 Sep 2018, 23:39 PM I've had more Teller mines swept or destroyed than I've had OHK a rushed allied vehicle. A well placed teller mine can decisively swing a game by killing a rushed shock unit like the t-70, sure. But the Teller mine also means that Ostheer can't place mines to hold off infantry without literally laying down signs for their opponent. Also, katyushas are unparalleled minesweepers.

Thread: commander-preview-2vs2-tourney28 Sep 2018, 01:27 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2018, 21:43 PMLemonJuice well tbh feedback is already skewed since youre doing only revamped commanders vs revamped commanders, instead of doing revamped commanders vs existing viable commanders. I totally missed that. That will certainly force some off-meta games for the tourney. I mean, I totally get that the intent is to maximize testing the functionality of the revamp commanders. If we're considering this to be a sort of 'closed beta' stage in the process then sure, absolutely. Got to make sure things actually work as intended before really testing their viability. But if the intent is to gauge balance or effects on metagame then, well, yeah... :\| In: Lobby
Thread: commander-preview-2vs2-tourney27 Sep 2018, 21:01 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Sep 2018, 20:37 PMmomo4sho Feedback can be skewed or less accurate if we dont play on competitive maps That's true, though it may be wise to ensure testing is done on all automatch maps as players are going to be subjected to those maps and whatever changes are finalized. I really hope the efforts of the commander revamps doesn't result in more map specific commanders. To me, that's marching in the entirely opposite direction from improving dynamic gameplay. In: Lobby
Thread: Stormtrooper changes26 Sep 2018, 00:50 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2018, 22:15 PMJae For Jett 2 g43 + 2 kars would mean that elite troops storms would get up to 4 g43s, which would give them insane moving performance. They could be denied access to the upgrade (maybe thats out of scope since adjusting access to an ability thats not in the doctrine might not be allowed), but then it might be a weird exception given that pgrens have access to it. That specific loadout could also still be too much immediate wipe potential given how good the g43 is on the move. You know, there's always the possibility of just giving Elite Troops the Jaeger Command squad, or some other kind of unique squad. That kind of seems to be the trend and would solve any discrepancies between Close the Pocket and Elite Troops. It's like balance discussions have been so warped by Scope restrictions that everyone's started to self-Scope. Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2018, 23:03 PMJae For Jett So this is all probably more than I should say. Probably. In the end people either know and can recognize the history and pattern with community interactions or they don't. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: How to fix UKF: Unit overview23 Sep 2018, 19:55 PM Well yes, if Comets were only fighting Panthers. I think when you start bringing into account all the other units Axis have that the Comet might be trying to deal with, such as JP4s for instance, is where the 45 range starts to fall short as an effective balancing device. It just ends up making the Comet more vulnerable to taking damage without being able to retaliate than any other tank, which I would argue heavily impacts those offensive capabilities.
