Have to disagree there, if there's one thing that Relic has been consistent at over the years it's being consistent at being inept at supporting their game via communicating with their audience or general quality of patches. Even the last hot fix had attributes that were intended to be changed but didn't make it in the end.
CoH1 wasn't exactly support nirvana either, taking almost a year to fix the sherman invulnerability smoke and the magical phasing panzer shrecks.
the original team left right when the game was released so we never experienced their support only their creation |
Pretty sure they just released a hotfix after the communal outcry over the kubel, and gave an explanation to why. Balance takes time, rather than make blanket complaints try coming up with some concrete solutions. Taking cheap shots at the devs of the game is not going to get you far.
the fix isn't enough, but did u notice how they butched the patch notes, not once but twice! For God sake they can't even get their patch notes sorted out. |
What happened to the original team? Surely it's not a completely different team than that that made vCoH......riighttt?
yes it is, the original team left, the lead design to ... you guessed it blizrd. there was a recent topic discussing all of this. |
Does anyone have any theories on what the hell Relic is thinking? I'm working on a few but lack insider info
Seems like a middle management screw up to me. Or there's a yesman making crucial decisions somewhere
Lack of leadership and vision. Basically they inherited a sophisticated product from the team that made the original game and they are not up to the level required to maintain it let alone grow it. |
I tried the HE rounds on the Sherman several times, but did not notice enough difference to keep using them. Are other people having the same experience or do the HE rounds make a significant difference?
Below are the stats of each round for reference:
The AoE radius is double on the HE rounds but the near AoE is not significantly better. |
I don't blame them. There's no rational discussion anymore. You think it's bad here? You should see the cesspool /r/companyofheroes has become.
Well things improved allot on this forum, it's just that it took the admins over here for ever to get their act on this issue, by which point most people have already made their first and final impression. Most of my good steam friends never accept participating on the forum, they always reply "isn't that the place where asswholes fight each other?". |
there are so many issues at present...bugs...balance...war spoils...obs...commanders...etc
how about some news on the following ?
OBS mode
maxim retreat bug (re-setting up loop)
retreat bug (in general) (units just standing there with the retreat symbol over their head)
vehicles forgetting commands (just stopping)
maxim facing wrong way
random faction selection when automatching (which should have been done AGES ago)
shadow setting in graphics options
some NEW WFA commanders
war spoils being made useful and adding value to the game
did i miss anything ?
silence is only causing people to leave, not stay.
coh2 will flop as an esport, if no one wants to play a buggie mess.
it is time to stop being so tight lipped and start talking to the community, and actually listening to us (not just SAYING you are).
Lets see if they even reply to this thread...
By he way, there was a time when relic used to be allot more active on this forum, but the amount of trolling and nastiness that was happening in every thread drove them away. In fact, one of the developers made a topic about how to contribute positively on the forum and people trolled his topic, lol! |
Thats the problem, if YOU play, YOU must have control about your mate, if he dont do, what YOU want. its just his fail by a lose. If i play with my mate, WE dont write much ingame, WE know how to play without much communication. You just play with statistics, you dont have any freestyle gameplay. thats no fun anymore.
you are sry to say that a "control freak"
ok dude, I am a control freak but just a friendly reminder to check some of the past casts that we played together in. I think you will be surprised how many orders you give, let alone all the none stop complaining and panicking you used to drive me crazy with. Heck, even your own twitch viewers were attacking you for that. |
As other have pointed out, its a combination of bugs, bad faction design, poor balance, cheese, and the fact it's hard to learn the game. I think ranking system would come at the end of the list. |
gg, wp,
i just ban, people which arent serious Kappa
I thought you removed me from your friends list because I was "too serious" for you, or was that more of your typical nonsense?
Now since I can't share this with you privetly anymore, I will tell you here that you lost because, as usual, you got your build/commander choices all confused. Instead of you getting the Jagdtiger and your mate going with tigers or panthers you went with the slow king tiger and your mate went with the elephent that can't shoot as far or through obstacles. Nice job throwing every advantage you have.
PS. now I know sprice can speak English |
