Thread: Relic will be previewing observer mode9 Oct 2014, 23:34 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2014, 22:05 PMWhat Doth Life?! To add insult to injury we have Cynthia saying things like "this is what players want" and putting on a facade of understanding the community that Relic isn't interacting with when she displayed a distinct lack of knowledge of the game mechanics themselves. She even said "someone is requesting a rewind demonstration" to which Peter Q had to bite the bullet and say "uuuuuuh... we don't have that." Relic is unprofessional, patronizing, inept and glib. I used to be one of the chat users who would vigorously defend them during streams when decent changes were being made but I am at my wits end to demonstrate any faith in them what-so-ever at this point. I can't defend some of the issues that are going on with the game right now, however; I will defend Cynthia and Peter. Cynthia is new to her position. Give her a bit to get up to speed. I think Cynthia, and Peter are in a tough position on these casts, they are the messengers; they are given the task of "advertise/show off/promote item X". Just because they aren't talking about bug's & balance doesn't necessarily mean they don't care or understand. It may be an instance where that isn't their task. And for the record - The players did ask for observation mode, "We" screamed for it. In: Lobby
Thread: PAK 40 is overperforming when compared to other AT guns7 Oct 2014, 17:59 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2014, 17:45 PMBurts Not to mention TWP will spell death for any stationary target. What is TWP??? How it compares to other AT guns is irrelevant. How it performs within the faction design is. Is it too effective at its job? Debatable, I personally think its in a good spot.

Thread: Bye Noun. Now lets blame some Cynthias.....3 Oct 2014, 23:01 PM A short but funny story - My wife has no interest in gaming. She recognizes CoH2 as she sees it frequently on my monitor at home. I guess at some point she was forwarded the Habanero video by someone. So Last week I'm watching one of the past Relic twitch videos and she walks in to my home office and shrieks "Its the hot pepper Nerd!" Noun AKA "Sweet Habanero Prince/The Nerd of Hot Peppers"- Thanks for your hard work. I wish that the situation worked out better for everyone. I, for one, appreciate the tough spot that you were in.

Thread: I don't get the NDA3 Oct 2014, 16:18 PM A NDA has it place. What's the saying about tasting a soup when the cook is only part way thru the cooking process?

Thread: Thoughts on ISU-15217 Sep 2014, 19:46 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 12:37 PMBurts The problem with giving the ISU-152 a switch between HE and AP rounds would make no sense. The HE shell alone was enough to rip turrets off of panthers and tigers. AP for the ISU-152 wasn't widely used. From a realism point of view maybe it doesn't make sense, however; from a game play perspective it makes a great deal of sense. Game play > realism. -Tanks don't take 5-6 penetrating shots, they take one. -The ranges on all most armor in the game would be larger than any of the maps. -All armor would shoot thru "shot blockers". -Don't get me started on the lethality of small arms and support weapons... Think about blending the worst parts of the old Elefant, the JT, and the ISU-152. Armor could sit at the back of your base, likely sight for itself, one shot stuff across the map, and you'd have no clue where the shot came from. Sound like fun?? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: A historical comparison in the Game17 Sep 2014, 19:00 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Sep 2014, 18:45 PMcoh2player The Panther was a direct competitive reaction to the T-34 series. The German designers intended for it to achieve combat superiority on the eastern front. It was also somewhat unsuccessful as a tank while the t-34, when married to Soviet doctrine and resource configuration, was wildly successful. It's not just the tank, but the military system that surrounds it. (production cost/speed, training/organization, deployment, repair & maintenance, combat readiness/field presence....) Undoubtedly the T34 was the catalyst that started the development of the Panther (& tigers). However, Burts post implied that the Panther was a copy of the T34 with tweaks. My post was a reply stating that from an engineering point of view, this isn't the case. In: COH2 Balance
