Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation17 Jul 2014, 15:48 PM How many MONTHS again did it take to see Windustry and Elite Troops nerfed again? Not days. Not weeks. MONTHS. All for the bargain price of $3.99 In: Lobby

The only thing coming to my mind is shocks and to a degree Riflemen with BARs and smoke grenades :/ OKW - Sturmpio's and Falshim's and Obersoldaten..... You can charge up to a squad or 3 with any of these and destroy them. So my original point stands - where's Wher's? Oh - that's right - they nerfed them into non existence. And Assgrens....not even going there. In: Lobby

Don't let those Steam stats fool you - there's only one person just running 6,000 copies of COH2 on his farming rig so he can earn a Maxim 2% accuracy increase bulletin sometime in the next 5 months....LOL In: Lobby
Thread: July 15th patch?16 Jul 2014, 20:44 PM PZ Grens were pretty rare as it was pre WF - now they're all but extinct. The Whermacht don't have a "rambo" assault unit that ALL the other factions do - the PZGren was the only viable option up till a few patches ago. Much like the Flame HT - the changes have just made the unit redundant. In: Lobby
Thread: July 15th patch?16 Jul 2014, 20:16 PM You have more chance of seeing a Tasmanian Tiger in game that you do PZGrens - they've been nerfed into uselessness. Anything the PZ Gren is "meant" to do - Grens do it cheaper and better. With the monster blobs becoming the standard meta - you'd think the PZ Grens would get some love. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation16 Jul 2014, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2014, 19:10 PMDarthBong420 i agree, but, like i said, because relic refuses to test commanders before release on a large scale then it will just turn back into p2w whiners. it they were balanced when released they would no longer be p2w. To avoid the "P2W"/"Paywall" crowd - the Commanders MUST be EARNABLE in game - and no - a random luck generated event isn't "earnable". You reach a certain rank/prestige - there's your reward. You don't want to wait/earn it? Oh - then that's $3.99. DONE. Relic gets it's DLC fix (that for some reason they can't seem to fathom is as popular as the plague with their gaming community) AND Players get a CHOICE in how they get WHAT THEY WANT. COH2 amazes me in how it doesn't give the player a choice in many facets - this current DLC policy is the epitome of forcing a one way decision on their player base....again. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation16 Jul 2014, 16:27 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2014, 13:34 PMCorp.Shephard I'm not sure what question you are asking Sluzbenik. The new OKW and US forces commanders; commanders like Rifle Company, Mechanized Company, Fortification Doctrine, Scavenge Doctrine, etc. are not for sale currently. Will the commanders who are on rotation go on sale? Each rotation? I have no idea. We'll have to see. edit: It's interesting to me that they say that the "Free Commander Rotation" is temporary. Are they referring to the current rotation? Are they referring to the entire system? Will they rotate commanders for a few months and then shut the entire thing down? I must admit I am a little confused about this new feature. ^ THIS is the inherent problem. If the ONLY way to get game changing mechanics (Commanders) is by PURE luck - the system is broken. You can't BUY them - you can't TRADE for them - you can't EARN them. Basically one could buy this game and NEVER have a certain commander even if they were willing to sell a kidney to pay for it - it's ALL RNG. The temporary Commander rotation does nothing to address it - it may even make the problem worse in that it provides players a temporary opportunity to a commander that's ONLY accessible via RNG - so to let them play it for a week - then leave a bitter taste when its taken away AND the ONLY way to get that Commander is by PURE LUCK - it'd just end in disappointment. If people here on the "Relic can do no wrong and you're all a bunch of ungrateful/L2P noobs" band wagon can't see that's a broken system - there's no point discussing it any further. War spoils based on RNG grinding should be limited to cosmetics. Commanders should be rank locked or purchasable. Duplicates should be tradeable. EVERYBODY wins. In: Lobby
Thread: Relic trying to save War Spoil with Free Commander Rotation16 Jul 2014, 00:57 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jul 2014, 00:47 AMmercenaryx1 I just don't understand. How can anyone be happy with this system? What was wrong with the old system of unlocking things yourself if you wanted to? Do people forget this is an RTS game? War spoils is classic MMORPG gating content through RNG. All they did was take all the DLC to date, shuffle it up a bit, sprinkle in duplicates, and release it back to you will abysmal drop rates. Think about that for a second... the phrase "drop rates".... in your RTS game, drop rates.... If they wanted people to stick to playing this game for a long time then they should have done the same thing they did in DOW2. Which is unlock skins for units in the game when you lvled up. Or unlock commanders through the ranking system. Which I thought they already had. 1. Unlock through achievement. 2. Pay for commander. 3. RNG RNG is always the wrong choice, it artificially extends the life of your content. Especially if the other choices are taken away. This genre of game does not work well with access to units being behind a RNG mechanic. I think they just want to stick to winning formula of COH Online........ In: Lobby
