Thread: Relic close to shutting down - not profitable27 Jan 2018, 16:54 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Jan 2018, 14:42 PMsteffenbk1 "The RTS and Strategy genre is pretty much dead and unprofitable" Then he proceeds to list very popular and profitable RTS'es.... Rts isnt dead, there just aren't many good ones that are coming out these days. So it would seem that it is dead. Would it be that competitive/PvP RTS are pretty much "dead" a better phrase ? Take a look at the titles released on the last 5-10 years and now compare it to some strategy games such as Total War, Civ, HoI, Stellaris. SC2: commander mode is more popular that the sum of all PvP players. Paradox games: all have 10K avg people and above peaking at 20K Civ 6: 30K peaking at 50K Total WH: 15K avg The recent "They are billions" has around 11K avg and 22K peak players. Now take a look at: Grey goo, Cossacks, Sudden strike, Steel Division, Halo Wars, Blitzkrieg, Planetary Annihilation, DoW 2/3, Wargames and whatever other title you might think of. CoH2, AoE 2 HD and SC are pretty much the only exponents of the genre with a more or less memorable remark on Men of War which retains it's really niche public. In: Lobby
Thread: instead of adding a fifth man to grenadier26 Jan 2018, 20:41 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2018, 20:09 PMZombiFrancis I wonder how many people are aware that pioneers were given longer sight range after WFA to buff them supporting and recrewing mgs... The sight range increase on a pio crewed mg is so crucial. 5man pios on BP3...or recrewing with 2 and having better reinforcements tools could go a long way on improving OH. For ex: reducing the bunker cost to 50MP and moving part of the cost to it's upgrades. Reinforcement bunker could now be 25/50MP and it's munition cost (honestly i can't remember someone using it), medic bunker could go to 75/100 and MG bunker remaining the same as now. Similar thought with 251 HT, moving part of it's cost to the flamer upgrade. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: instead of adding a fifth man to grenadier26 Jan 2018, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2018, 15:29 PMullumulu sum: 4x80 = 320HP 5x80 = 400HP 6x80 = 480HP all 4model squads have 180 HP less than 6model squads... and then we can read that 2hp more pro model would be totally OP... That's raw HP pool against AoE. You then have to account for: target size, popcap, raw DPS performance, utility, etc. And finally what their design is on the faction they are in and how they play against each other. The 2HP could be a late game proposition but the reason that a +2HP is totally OP, specially early on, is because anyone who has a minimum amount of memory remembers the +3% HP bulletins and how they completely change the early game engagements. It's not just +2HP because the performance of a unit is the same either it is on 1 HP or full health. -Against 16dmg per shot, it survives an extra shot from 5 to 6 (basically it's a +20% HP) -Against 12 (current Conscript) it wouldn't change the dynamic. -Against 10, it goes from 8-9 (12,5%) -Against 8, it's 10%. Anything above 80HP means your model survives a direct hit of a mortar shell, a rocket artillery or a grenade to the face. In a game where man power bleed is king, this means you survive way more engagements been able to go back to base and heal. Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2018, 19:54 PMKurobane snip The best course of action here would be to modify the weapon tables for all mortars and artillery and put in a damage penalty vs Grenadiers only so that they can still do significant damage but not entirely wipe squads due to random RNG. (Company of Heroes 1 had this) And this is one of the reasons Devs had issue making patches for the game. If one is to be lazy and have a realistic expectation of what is possible to implement, i'll go with a BP3 +2HP ONLY AFTER testing what happens when BAR long range DPS is reduced and possible double bren removed. Give utility to 120mm and reduce AA range to 80 and now people have absolutely no reason to complain whatsoever besides been unable to blame their own faults. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Lost Gimmicks You MOURN24 Jan 2018, 17:42 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2018, 08:07 AMHighfiveeeee Does anybody remember that originally (I think for the first 1-2 years) T34/85 always came in pairs? I think there was only one commander that was able to call one single T34/85. Should i tech and get a single T34-76 or should i wait a few CP and get 2 T34-85s for the same cost hmm... 46:25 or https://youtu.be/T1Kos1sM_as?t=2785 In: Lobby

Thread: The 222's ability to counter snipers20 Jan 2018, 01:03 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2018, 21:39 PMZombiFrancis Because sniper cloaking was completely altered to eliminate players from being able to expose their snipers and quickly recloak into cover after firing. The 222 was changed into ostheers anti light tank/vehicle option. This was imbalanced so the fuel was increased to 30 to nerf the effects of that change. The 222 stopped being a sniper counter to become a fill-in for anti tank because the goal was to break the panic puma meta. It goes way back in time. The 222 had even a lower HP pool and it received several buffes while ninja bugging the cost. It was something around 20f and for some reason they lowered it to 15f. Looking back at older posts: it was 230mp 20f 240 HP and then they buff it (officially) to 320 HP. But at the same time they moved the cost to 210mp 15f which in fact it should had been a +5f from ORIGINAL cost after they fixed the MG bug. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Stats are in... Some obvious factions to address!20 Jan 2018, 00:57 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2018, 21:57 PMJae For Jett I honestly doubt that is even a decent indicator of faction balance. I (or any of the players you took stats from) could severely inflate those numbers (think 20+ streaks) by intentionally queuing during off-hours. Streaks in the top 10 are generally just an indicator of which players are noob-stomping the hardest. Furthermore, look at the current UKF 1v1 top 10. UKF has a total streak of 99......prodi currently makes up 44/99 of that. A single fluke loss by him, and that value youre using gets lowered to 54 (around 45%). It's similar for most other factions, though not as severe. Another word that I just thought to add, but if youre going to be doing these kinds of statistics, youre either going to need the randomness and sample sizes to ensure the results are relevant, or enough context to properly interpret and explain them (think tournament/streamed matches where the wins and losses can be analyzed and the players are known). I just don't think that measuring top 10 streaks has either of those. Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2018, 20:43 PMSiphon X. Care to elaborate what the numbers in the table represent? Like, how did you gather them and what are they? Ah, and Since we won't have coh2charts anymore since Relic never ended fixing the API, is it possible to have the bot you were using to extract information about the current W/L ? If anyone is really interested on getting any MEANINGFUL information, this guy above is the indicated to talk with. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: instead of adding a fifth man to grenadier19 Jan 2018, 18:27 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2018, 16:07 PMWaegukin Instead of health, what about explosive resistance through target tables? Same effective HP as the +2 vs arty without interfering with the infantry combat. GL going through all explosive profiles and adding a command line and then checking if there are no game breaking bugs. Jump back to quoted post19 Jan 2018, 13:53 PMVipper my suggestion was lowering support weapon damage to something like 60 and the HP of team-weapons also, making these weapon less lethal vs mainline infantry about the same vs support weapons. https://www.coh2.org/topic/67083/redesigning-support-weapons Ostheer infantry seem to still be wiped too easily and probably the lethality of weapons need to go down, especially since Ostheer units should serve as the benchmark and currently they seem lackluster. Wouldn't this change force back the meta to main line infantry spam ? It's been proven that utility is not enough to make a unit desirable. OP: I'll rather see Pios getting a 5th man upgrade. Let's them recrew weapons easier + improved repairs + not crazy DPS unit. About Grens on the late game: Double bar with good long range DPS is a mistake. Double Brens is still a mistake. Adding HP is stronger than adding a 5th man cause you are making a squad stronger without it paying extra mp to reinforce, popcap, easier to hit with indirect, etc. IF it was possible engine wise, i'll prefer it to be a +5HP/0.95 against explosives but if i understand it well, you need to go through every weapon profile and add a line which should only work against grens.
