Thread: Elite Mod - Snipers10 Dec 2013, 16:37 PM I would not recommend the passive cloak. It just changes the entire way snipers work. A sniper will only become viable in the early game, with an exponentially decreasing value as the game progresses. In other words: If you get a sniper early game, you are against the clock to recover its cost, because as soon as any light vehicle comes into play, your sniper is as good as dead. Let me remind everyone that in CoH2, units have armor settings, which provide a second layer of protection in the RNG. There is no such thing in vCoH. In: COH Central
Thread: Relic is updating VCoH9 Dec 2013, 18:14 PM I don't blame Relic for having a nonfunctional beta. It's not easy to pull maintenance on a game where many of the key people are not present anymore and that is not really bringing you money directly. We also need to take into account that its is not easy coordinating this when it is another company doing the work specifically. Here's what I think we can do to help them out: -Focus on the lobby's services. It's automatch and basic match finding that are crucial tog et up and running. -Focus on game breaking bugs: Stuff like error messages (visual c++), broken features (replays). -Post the feedback with a DxDiag of your machine. For all you know, they are isolated to very specific builds or components. This helps a lot. In: COH Central
Thread: Elite Mod COH - Download and Changelog9 Dec 2013, 18:03 PM Is recon run that bad though? Sure it allows for an off map, almost unkillable scout to reveal the battlefield and that sniper, which with 100% CS pretty much guarantees a kill. The problem is not that recon run is too powerful. Hell, if you manage to force a player into a doctrine just because of a sniper, I'd consider that good. Axis don't have anything remotely comparable though... In: COH Central
Thread: Shitcast!9 Dec 2013, 17:43 PM Are there any hopes to see a CoH2 edition? The potential is... mesmerizing. In: COH Central
Thread: COH Steam Version - LAN Play Plz Help9 Dec 2013, 05:58 AM In short: You can't. After 1.7 (That is, any patch after Opposite Fronts' release), THQ required you to be online to play the game. If you REALLY want to duke the game offline with your friends and dont mind the version, use your retail disc (which you said you had in a past post), install patch 1.7, and play. You didn't even need the cd to boot the game back then! In: COH Central
Thread: 12ocky's Christmas Wishlist: Changes, proposals, ideas ....9 Dec 2013, 05:43 AM I like a lot of the changes but disagree on many others. I won't comment because like Tommy said, we should be playing a lot more, rather than just criticizing changes (otherwise it ain't feedback). In: COH Central
Thread: A comprehensive theory about where Relic is going...9 Dec 2013, 05:42 AM There's nothing wrong with team games, per se. I personally enjoy team games in RTS games more than 1v1 games, but they are never as balanced. If they were going to focus on team games thats fine, but then they should have empowered the entire team synergy, which isn't so. CoH's design is not inherently well balanced for team games (unlike say, Age of Empires II). The resource flow and unit conservation just escalates into spammage. It's a shame too, because for some strange reason vCoH gained quite a popularity for team games near the end of its functional lifetime. In: Lobby
Thread: Predictions for announcement from Noun during SNF8 Dec 2013, 23:18 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Dec 2013, 22:47 PMKalismist ...Fucking assholes. Not sure any company would like that kind of lexicon in their facebook page, either. I wasn't impressed by the changes. If I recall correctly, mud WAS going to be in the initial game, but they discarded it as bad for gameplay. The fact that they are bringing it back makes me uneasy. At this point, it's fair to say that they are not looking to "fix" the game, their policy seems to be "the game is fine, what we need is to add to the game". Be it through commanders or through mud, or through units that make no sense whatsoever (A unit that stops resource gathering. Really?) and then changing them back to make half sense. Not even sure why I still have it installed In: Lobby
Thread: Semisky translation to Russian is hilarrious.8 Dec 2013, 21:04 PM ...maybe because it is a take on an old relic map, not a new one? If you want to be pedantic about it, then you'd have to find out what the Russian called that specific River in Europe and call it that. Relic could call it "Gummy Bear Land" and it would be valid. I think maybe that's why it is such a low priority fix. Getting new content(like it or not) and fixing true issues is more important than fixing names. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic is updating VCoH8 Dec 2013, 20:54 PM ...and that is taking into account that the game has a very bugged automatch system. I think Sega can still capitalize on vCoH, not just fixing it, but they could actually EXPAND it, and turn a profit. Not sure why they aren't. In: COH Central
