Thread: Call to action - Let's Be Awesome Together14 Feb 2014, 08:00 AM First of all, I appreciate what Noun is trying do here Second, i really like the game and since i dont find nothing better that catters me i will keep playing. Thirdly, i will briefly talk about the first message written by Noun n then go on with the flow of the thread. ______________________________________ I dont know how many or who wants to catter to a broad audience. But i dont think thats what some of the oldies have in mind. I dont see the basic mechanic of the game cattering to the big audience. This game n genre is in a niche and should have catter to it. Quality n complexity over casualization. I didnt get into CoH cause i saw a fancy image or catchy video. After seeing SC2 matches (IPL, Day9, Husky, etc and i have to say i didnt bored with 10mins game unless something super "special" happened) n playing the game (in that order) i looked after other strategy games. Thx to TFN n Inuki (the ones who i catch up first with) i´m here today. ______________________________________ Regarding how the thread derailed: Isnt it a bit too late to be "awesome"? The game is fine, but it doesnt keep up with the expectatives and fails greatly on other aspects. I mean, when the core issues, options, game mechanics, direction on which the game was designed (or is following) are what people are discomform with...how do you expect people to still like the product, praise it n spread the word of how great it is. I think all this have already been said but will say it anyway. Short own issues version: DLC n Vanilla commanders (Price, design, usage of things already ingame, overlapping) + Strategy depth n possibilities + Bulletins. Since the ones who remains here: Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2014, 20:50 PMMadok A rather a large chunk of the community (possibly even the majority) is dissatisfied with the current state of CoH2. Some issues are controversial some issues are universally accepted - which is astounding given the very nature of RTS gaming. What can YOU, we or others do to improve the game? 1- Vets n oldies have already told you what needs to change in order to appeal to that sector. 2- We can agree this is a niche game/genre. Trying to make it more casual in order to be more popular wont work in a long term of time. Maybe it would but i think it would derail from the roots of what the game started of. If that it´s the case all what have been said on the first post is gonna work. This somehow reminds me of how Battlefield started and on what is has been converted nowadays. ________________________________________________ Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2014, 20:50 PMMadok Please give us some indication of the plans relic and/or sega have for the future of CoH2 aside from balance patches. A rough roadmap, even if there is no timeline whatsoever, would do nicely. I know how unlikely a real roadmap is but please give us something, anything to look forward to. Please give us hope for the future! Should we expect a huge change that will shake the core of COH2 or shall we just expect little mid changes which will improve the game but leave it as it is now (Optimization, Better replay system or rewind funtion, more DLCs, more maps, somehow somewhen mods, etc).

Thread: Call to action - Let's Be Awesome Together14 Feb 2014, 06:41 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Feb 2014, 02:32 AMDarc Reaver Let me be more precise: You CAN play an esports title casually. But you CANNOT play a casual game as an esports title. It's that easy. It simply does NOT work to try to appeal to both esports and casuals at the same time. The only thing you CAN do is to make the game for esports and then guide casuals into the esports side from the game. What about SSBM ? If there isn´t anything more casual as Nintendo, you tell me. Anything can be played "competitively" (take for example speedruns), if you want something to turn into an Esport you basically need popularity, numbers, that´s it. In: Lobby

Thread: Nerf the Sturmovik11 Feb 2014, 21:00 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2014, 20:35 PMwooof look how effective that vet 3 mg on the tank was. such good AA. the il2 only flew over him like 10 times. The damage is already done on the first or second run. Even if sarcastic or not, I could live up with an MG gunner nerf: for example like getting killed more frequently (i dont think thats a safe position). Historically asking, were they more for AA or AI ? Anyway i wouldnt mind seeing it losing AA capabilities if other specific AA got buff. Off: i would love seeing more upgrades beeing less braindead and more thoughtfull choices (MG gunners on tanks or PPSH for example) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf the Sturmovik11 Feb 2014, 20:15 PM I dont have examples of others so i will use this. 39:50 -74s mark: He barely calls it "without" LOS. -71s: It take like 3s to actually show up the flares. -70/69s: issue the retreat order as you see the troops moving on the minimap -It passes away since he didnt have any LOS of any unit (i dont know if this is how it works or i was just "lucky") -When the PG and grens were on the road near my base i got half PG squad kill and fullhealth gren wipe. -When ATR3UH moved the camera you easily see how big the range of the IL2 is. Use the VP and the PG point on the map as Radius and draw a imaginary circle. Now move that into the center of the map and tell me where i can move without getting target by it. @Tokarev: im talking about killing an AT gun. 120muni Flame and Light Artyllery 80% of the time does it´s job. Even with the big splash damage you have enough time to dodge a Railway. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Nerf the Sturmovik11 Feb 2014, 19:44 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2014, 11:42 AMOZtheWiZARD Who were also wounded or lacking half of their men. I have never seen IL-2 run to kill whole healthy squads on retreat. Lets not exaggerate here because soon we will have the same situation like with Soviet mines which as is now believed kill whole squads with easy all the time. I do understand that some poor guy got his army annihilated in some team game because he clustered his units but as said before for 240 munition this ability better does just that unless someone is happy to pay this amount for what could easily be a shooting recon plane. You can instaretreat your troops and have them be half map away from the Strafin run and it will still target them and wipe them. I´ve this experience both from using it and suffering it. You CAN´T avoid the first strafe since the plane acquire targets inmediatly. Let not talk about also the amount of time and size you force any light-med armor n infantry offmap unless you want to play with RNG if the plane is gonna wipe your squads or not. Anyways, all planes and specially strafin runs (Light - Heavy - Sturmovik) should be counter almost inmediatly if there is some kind of AA on the zone. I prefer having a reduce range on the MAA but with much higher accuracy or effectiveness. Regarding numbers (if someone can help me with the actual numbers for comparison) i´m talking about a 50%-75% of taking it down on each pass. This only with M5 Quad upgrade and Ostwind. 222 should have a small buff and M3 should have a late upgrade as well (if its historically possible). On this way you can actually counter reliably planes by moving your AA (and not just expecting it to kill it sitting on the middle of the map) and you shouldnt use planes if you are not sure there is no AA threat. @Tokarev Offtopic: what about Railyway Artyllery? Doesnt anyone find a bit "lame" the time to hit? Is it like 8-10s? You MAY be hit by its first shell (if you fell asleep) but it´s impossible for the other 3 shells to do something. OH the most expensive ability on the game! In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Panzergrens9 Feb 2014, 20:58 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 10:19 AMwongtp 3rd con out in the 1.30min mark. 1st fuel cache sighted in the 1.40min mark. 1st engagement with pios close to the 1.40min mark pretty damn obvious? we have already committed to conscripts before we spotted the fuel cache. Capping order. If you dont see X part of the map cappped or trying to be capped can be a good signal of what is comming. 3 Conscripts is not a heavy commitment. Knowing that you´ll face T2 you could also avoid teching molotovs. You still were in time to tech true about not going t1/t2. frontal assault to mg a mistake? it was covered by fog and I had a good chance to throw a molotov, didnt work because i got shat on by rng and mortar, single shot wiped 3/5 men, retreated asap but still con squad lost to mg42. no qualms there. Even if you throw the molotov he could just have to move back. Read what you wrote: "Frontal assault to MG". 2nd con squad lost to 2 vetted pgren squad. retreated with 5 men, 0 men returned. showcasing insane pgren dps and terrain stuck. Could have retreat earlier when seeing the first PG. 2nd PG assured the wipe molotovs has long windup, easily missing moving pgrens. stg44 dps wipes conscripts so hard they would be down to half squad by the time they throw a molotov. as shown later on, molotovs completely misses, cons insta retreat. So dont rely on Cons to counter PG spam 2cons do not stand against a 2vet pgren squad. staying at long range was his only salvation. judging from the speed that the con squad fall to the pgren squad, the supporting con squad would not be able to effectively chase the pgren away. Dodging the nade and ganging up 3v1 while keeping map control was his best option. Mantaining both Cons in order to deal damage and force a retreat (while your other conscript with hoorah could have also help) and still mantaing map presence was still an option. 4 pgren squad + fht, ran across a field against 6 cons who stopped and firing, 1 casualty. while cons were almost wiped before pgrens got into mid range. So you expect to stop a blob of 4 vetted PG with FHT with 6 cons? Anwsers in orange. Just in case, i agree that vetting needs to be balance. I also want to see: -vet0 Shock vs vet 2 PG -vet 2 vs vet 3 PG In: COH2 Balance

Thread: What maps do you veto as Ostheer?9 Feb 2014, 07:51 AM I´ll say i just veto cause of the map rather than faction preference. ALWAYS: -Don River 1v1: -Depending on the mood i may veto winter Langres - Kholodny -Or Minsk Pocket - Kharkov 2v2: 90% of the time -Pyripiat (summer n winter) -Rhzev Sometimes -Kharkov (as Soviets) 3v3: -Rhzev. Too small -City. Always some guy is set apart from the rest of the team. In: Ostheer Strategies
