Thread: COH2 Season Pass / Command Pass26 Sep 2013, 15:04 PM A coh 2 premium pack would be fine and I would buy it. But want to know how to make all this contraversy go away? Introduce in game currency which can buy commanders. Heck, make it really expensive and laborious to even unlock 1 commander, maybe you get 1 coin per automatch victory and it costs you 100 coins to unlock one commander. Even that feels better to me, because there's something in that kind of a deal that isn't really present at the moment. And that is hope of getting the content without having to reach for the credit card. In: Lobby
Thread: To Relic concerning DCE preorder.26 Sep 2013, 14:43 PM Thankyou for your hard work Noun, you are doing a good job just by being here and communicating with the at times difficult community. The community wants to spend money on the game. They want to spend it in a way that efficiently guarantee's them the new commanders. There was a lot of ill will generated in this competitive community as people thought the collectors edition entitled them to more goods directly associated with CoH2 multiplayer. I think having a singular product like a "Premium pack", "Command Pass" or "All future commanders DLC upgrade package" at a fair price would go towards alleviating some of the tensions caused by not knowing how much money will need to be spent to ensure we have access to all the commanders made for CoH2. If that option does not sound good, even including them in medium size permanently discounted bundles would take some of the pressure off. The ideal situation, is very rare random drops of commanders and skins that the community could trade. Don't forget some of the basics of human psychology, if someone "believes" they have been given something they will want to give something back! This is sadly also why the free CodeBlue theatre of war giveaway has not been generating good will in the community as these multiplayer only focused players do not believe they have been given something they value.

Thread: Best 3v3 map [Developer]12 Sep 2013, 20:15 PM Rhzev Winter, we always enjoy playing on that map cause the wide front provides flanking routes. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Best 2v2 Map [Developer]12 Sep 2013, 20:11 PM Rhzev Winter. The ice gambling is a fun mechanic and it would be great to see more of it. Perhaps a map with two small bases of snow set out on a great sea of melting ice with a tank battle focus. Hilarity ensues. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: pqumsieh and his faction choice12 Sep 2013, 19:47 PM There were some serious changes to the ostheer in the last patch that were really awesome panzerjager2 that you are totally ignoring. - Panthers cost 130 fuel now. 130. fuel. My gawd. - Tigers cost 200 fuel now. 200. Both these awesome tanks cost waaay less fuel and getting some late game manpower is very doable as ostheer. These changes will positively and drastically change options for german late game and I don't think you have grasped that. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: MG42 Post Patch12 Sep 2013, 19:25 PM I play both factions, like any CoH player who is worth his salt should across all modes of the game. 1v1's to 4v4's with my small CoH clan. Here is my ladder profile. http://www.coh2.org/ladders/playercard/steamid/76561198005614497 This patch is brilliant. It is what the game needed. Many of my clan mates were becoming frustrated and mad with their games, and noone enjoyed playing germans as there was a consensus that it was too easy to win. In team games, it was harder to flank out and often the germans were able to devastate our conscripts with mg42's. Even when we played as germans, games felt too easy, making very hard and savage early game plays was easy as germans and really they should be feeling the pressure in the early game from an aggressive soviet player. It was too easy for germans to lock down large sections of the map with a single unsupported MG team. Gentleman, you may have your opinions of the game and this patch. But please support relic in this direction. I have the benefit of watching a small clan of players reactions, not just my own and we were barely playing in august and early september due to the disgusting state of the game. The game just wasn't fun and 42's suppressing in a single burst was degenerate and frustrating. It was so encouraging to hear one of my friends say, "Hey you were right comrade, this is really great now, i'm so glad I can play coh again". And then we even played a 4v4 as the germans and didn't feel like we were playing easy mode. It was wonderful. Even seeing some tigers and is2's hitting the field =]. I have played CoH1 since 2006, I have played CoH2 since beta, and I think this patch is some of the best balance yet. A large part of this is the MG42 change. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Sick/bored of MG42 -.-12 Sep 2013, 18:58 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Sep 2013, 15:15 PMNullist Dont worry, Ekko Tek. The survival discrepancy will become a topic soon enough. The mg42 hits the field with more regularity than the maxim. It hits the field earlier than the maxim, and more often than not the mg42 engages the russian conscripts squad in the first minutes of the game near the middle of the map over a hotly contested point. The reasons for this are as follows. - German tier one is a stable option that most wehrmacht players build as tier 2 panzergrenadier rush is no longer a large part of the meta if ever it was. - Soviet tier 2 where the maxim comes from has a very long build time for the actual building itself, delaying the arrival of an early maxim squad. - The strength of the soviet mortar was a large part of the tier 2 strategies we saw months ago. It was then nerfed. The soviet tier 2 mortar can no longer assure maxim supremacy. Added to this it is advised to many soviet players that they build conscripts en masse as it means that they can out capture the german player by running all over the map and harrassing the wide flank to snare easy cap points. This is one of the differences between the factions as the russian player has the option of tier 0 infantry riflemen. Tier 0 means he will have troops on the field faster than german tier 1. If the soviet gives up the tier 0 advantage they will lose momentum and the german units will reach the middle of the map relatively faster due to the addition of build time for the tier buildings and then the training of the troops. German tier 1 infantry play can circumvent many of these problems simply through providing a varied mix of units from the same tier 1 building whereas the soviet must choose between two clear paths. Support weapons or scout cars. The factions are also designed to be asymetrical, that means "not the same". The reason they are not the same stats wise and why the MG42 has less health than the maxim is because the MG42 is likely to be fielded more often than not as most german players will build tier 1. Mg42's will be fighting predominantly conscript squads... start reading from paragraph one until it makes sense In: COH2 Balance
