Thread: A quick note for the Coh2 community (redux)20 Sep 2014, 05:06 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2014, 23:02 PMLemonJuice just gonna copy and paste what i wrote in the last thread. PLEASE, stop calling kubel spam 'abuse'. Just because a unit is strong or OP doesnt mean youre not allowed to build them as you please. theyre in the game, and the stats were INTENTIONALLY buffed. people who spam kubels arent abusing anything, if anything they are just spamming. abusing something would be like using the double b4 shot bug, or if you were somehow to cheat and do something that you should not be able to. yesterday pq mentioned void rays in starcraft2 and how they were incredibly strong early after release, and how blizzard didnt bother patching them until later so that the community can try to find counters. i remember this period quite well, and while it was quite difficult to play against, people actively tried to find ways to beat this. i really hope you guys would try to apply yourself more to the game and try to figure out strategies that would fare better against kubel spam, instead of doing your same strategy and then when it fails coming to whine on the forums. also, think about jsut nerfs, but think about BUFFS aswell. what in the USFs kit is preventing them from effectively dealing with kubels? is it that bazookas dont have good enough accuracy to hit a small target like a kubel? what about smoke? maybe we should increase bazooka accuracy so that it can effectively counter light vehicles! Sorry, but this is nonsense. If a developer buff's a unit that changes the whole early game, he should at least have a clear idea how it can be countered. He should not just make a drastic change and throw it at customers to sort it out for him and then if it turns out op make some adjustments. This unit should have been tested in beta and a solid counter(s) should have been found before it was released at its current form. I don't know why it was not tested properly in beta, but it could have something to do with the fact that many testers are not putting much time in beta. In: Lobby
Thread: Should the blitzkrieg ability cost fuel? 19 Sep 2014, 20:32 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2014, 20:12 PMNapalm I'm not a fan of blitz but I think asking for a fuel cost is a bit out of touch. It does need to have a draw back though. I feel it should be an ability that causes light engine damage once used. Like an overheat, lite. That's too much. Several people have suggested that the ability should be made only available if you are out of combat (just like the sov crew repair ability). This way you can't just use it as easy way out of trouble. Also another suggestion was to limit it to forward movement only (no acceleration or reverse). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Oh goodie19 Sep 2014, 19:37 PM I watched the first 15 minutes of the game and I just dont see how 4 RE start has helped you in this game. You seem to have lost map control because of them and they had very little effect on the game except being used for caping. Also your opponent delayed his kubel until almost 4 minuets. If he made it first I think your REs would have suffered. In: Replays
Thread: Should the blitzkrieg ability cost fuel? 19 Sep 2014, 19:09 PM In 1v1 that would penalize the Ost player allot because he is usually fuel strapped. In 2v2 it might be appropriate because this ability gets spammed so much to get out trouble. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: A Quick Note For The COH2.org Community19 Sep 2014, 07:28 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2014, 07:26 AMCynthia_RE I am very aware this is also an issue. Toxicity in an online community is impactful in so many ways, and we want (need) that to change in ours. This is also currently being reviewed. That is why I suggest introducing a chat mute option, it can address so many situations. It would be good to know if Relic is wiling to implement something like this. In: Lobby

I mean, watch some high level games on Propagandacast - full of truck pushing. It's just what people do at higher levels. In the first few games in question he got a bunch of profanity and the worst he said was "so you think the Kubels are underperforming?" Again, I don't see much of an issue with this. I agree that saying "GG asshole" at the end of the game with taxman was bad. That definitely was not okay. Otherwise it's mostly a case of him getting harassed by community members, IMHO. Read the whole topic and you will see that people are more angry about him coming to the replay thread and posting the question again to mock his opponent. In: Lobby
Thread: Kubel counterplay19 Sep 2014, 06:15 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 20:32 PMSpanky I've had more success with 4RE opening into 2-3 fighting positions. It delays rifles, but it will help you quickly grab bigger portion of the map, because the kubel can't chase all the RE's around. build a quick forward fighting position and wait for the first engagement, RE inside the FP will hold out quite long so you can ninja cap around and you won't loose that much early. I'm sure this is the best thing out there vs the kubel. What commander you use with this start? You know without access to the lmg those RE units are going to be useless and upgrading them with Bars won't do much. If you have the rifles commander you can do with 2 RE and relay on vetted rifles to AT nade the kubel. It's still very hard to pull off because of the kubels insane acceleration, but its a better option. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Kubel counterplay19 Sep 2014, 06:11 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Sep 2014, 20:13 PMTrainzz The question for me is, why do factions have to rely so heavily on early light vehicles, instead of using infantry exclusively. You can always add a jeep or a bike like it was in CoH1, a cheap support unit that is really strong if microed correctly, but on its own it does not do anything. But I guess it's too late for that. Bad game design, and even the jeep/bike in coh1 were kind of stupid because of the ability to push and to go past base defenses and kill the first sniper the second he spawned for example.
