@Basilone. So Budwise is one of the very few ppl who are not good at the game but knows the game? gatcha. ill just write that down in my notepad.
Trust me I whole heartedly commend them and their efforts. I myself have been on that side of the the coin many times over the years and only once did it ever amount to fuck all, and that was when COH1 went EOL and they actually let us fix it with 2.602. And even then they still managed to fuck up that patch in several ways that were fixed in the final private beta. RELIC LEARN TO REGRESSION TEST YOUR CODE FFS!
So what I see here is COH2, going EOL just the same way, and Relic is finally giving up control like they did for vCOH. The problem is, there's still MAJOR game mechanics that are being toyed with. We had an army of top players for 2.602 in comparison to the tiny handful there is now, and everything we did was ultra fine tuning and finessing and there was tons of useful discussion with Relic devs and top players together in a joint effort. This balance attempt is still lopping off limbs and trying to reattach them elsewhere. COH2 is such a giant mess I just see it as too late to be attempting these monumental changes and succeeding.
That said, I give a giant solute to the peeps attempting it but I have good reason for being skeptical that they'll unfuck this game in 1 patch, and I dont imagine there will be many more patches after this. I'd do my usual and volunteer and rally the troops but with an 8 month old now I just don't have the time. Good luck gents!
it is obviously that you do wish well for the effort.
But you did not answer to wouren's question: what was the purpose? It was not to wish the team and the community well because most of it is just bashing the game/relic and talking about the good ole days(...that were actually better but still reminiscing the long gone time).
was it to ...
a. bash the game
b. bash relic
c. both a and b
d. reminisce
e. wish well with
healthy skepticism.(scratch that since you just state "I dont imagine there will be many more patches after this." without any basis.)
I think your first post is valid but the sole purpose of it in this thread was to bash relic. After all, we all know the story; you and like minded people have shared the "two cent" regularly and frequently. So please, don't act like you really thought your post was to be constructive.
