Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 22:52 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jul 2014, 22:44 PMbraciszek There is a chance for you to NEVER get something that is "available" to everyone. That should not be possible. That is preventing someone from getting a War Spoil that was promised to be obtainable. Now, other systems have trading which means it IS possible to obtain something you'll never earn. But we have nothing of the sort. In short, it is the worst idea in the world to half-release a luck-based drop system. Also, bulletins and faceplates are worth nothing. The thing with TF2 is that you can craft crappy items into metals that are universally worth something. That is why i fear for a trading system. No one wants a lot of the spoils, at least you wont get anything that you might not already have in return. The trading system on Steam is much better than the current alternative - i.e. nothing. Some people put value on crap like faceplates or skins etc - so if you traded say 40 of them for 1 Commander you didn't have - you're better off rather than being stuck with 40 pieces of junk.

Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation15 Jul 2014, 22:30 PM Seeing as they made Steam so integral to COH2 - why not let COH2 items be tradable on the Steam Marketplace? Seems to work great for CS:GO etc In: Lobby
Thread: Infantry Blobs14 Jul 2014, 23:06 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2014, 23:05 PMVetLolcake Blobs are not broken. Just US force Melting everything in path blob You will seldom see a OKW blob of Obersoldaden due to cost and the need for them to spend resources elsewhere. Blobbing volks is useless and will get massacred Gren blob for OH is useless and will get mowed down via maxims and soviet support items Sov Con blob and oorah passed MG42 or MG34 so is somewhat very effective. In summary, US blob way OP. Both factions blob and both are terrible to deal with - this discussion is more focused on the WF and not the standard factions. There's little difference between a BAR blob or a G43 blob - same difference really. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs14 Jul 2014, 22:31 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2014, 22:27 PMBrachiaraidos This has nothing to do with blobs. You did watch those fights, right? I'm guessing no. Great way to avoid the discussion - I really should have saved that for a different thread. And I did watch those - they were more so a fight of who could get a half track up first. Again - another broken mechanic. Now - back to the point - BLOBS ARE BROKEN. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs14 Jul 2014, 22:10 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Jul 2014, 20:48 PMBrachiaraidos vCOH MG mechanics + None of the suppression breaking effects = most boring game ever in the entire universe. MG creep is already super dull, we don't need to make it any worse. Oh - so you mean something like say - COMBINED ARMS - where a player has to use say a mortar or other unit rather than just roll say - A LARGE BLOB OF INFANTRY - to take that MG out? That's what would make a good game? Sure - I like that. Unless of course you don't think the current meta of of blob creep is "super dull"... The current blob vs blob meta experienced in anything greater than the 1 v 1 game is a joke - it's like watching an under 10's soccer match where the large blob just follows the ball. 1 V 1 the US is certainly broken - as depicted by the current pro tournament result - 5-0 USF. The blob is bad and goes against the whole "Combined Arms" BS that the Relic designers have been claiming as the core of the gameplay since day 1. Why anybody would say the current state of the game is good is beyond me - unless of course they're one of those that just likes to blob of course....as always, a win is a win.. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Infantry Blobs14 Jul 2014, 19:50 PM Take vCOH MG mechanics + COH2's removal of "insta-sprint" = Winning. It's that simple. The problem with COH2 is that they changed things for the sake of change rather than to improve the game - MG mechanics was simply something they had fine tuned in vCOH that you'd think they didn't need to mess with it. But common sense and COH2 design....we know how that story goes. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Relic, lets talk about target priority... Again.27 Jun 2014, 17:22 PM Ah - the Western Front expansion - with problems so large - you could drive a truck through them..... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: War Spoils explained by Relic27 Jun 2014, 17:17 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jun 2014, 17:15 PMvietnamabc Really just afk and farm. Why don;t somebody just create a game for farming 4v4, players log in and Alt-tab doing something else, 6 hours later reap the profit, like the old TF2 farm room. Seriously, 6 hours for a single drop is just pathetic, at least make it like ~30min, roughly as TF2. Pay Day 2 has a good system - nearly guaranteed something at the end of a game. In: Lobby
Thread: War Spoils explained by Relic27 Jun 2014, 17:00 PM Just set up a 1V1 vs the AI and alt+tab. Let the PC farm for you - Alt+Tab back in 20 mins later and repeat. In: Lobby
Thread: Why so many Axis Lovers? 27 Jun 2014, 16:20 PM People play axis for these reasons: Wermacht - Because they're designed well and well thought out - unlike the Soviet faction which is poorly designed and poorly thought out (hence why the Soviet faction has to be buffed so much as its that badly designed nobody would play them). OKW - The faction currently has more powerful units that are OP in comparison to the US - however in this case BOTH US and OKW factions are poorly designed - hence when they DO nerf OKW, you'll see more US faction players in relation. People play either with a faction that makes sense (Wermacht) or a faction that's OP (OKW/Soviet). That's all. In: COH2 Gameplay
