Thread: Leaderboard matchmaking system broken?21 Oct 2013, 14:18 PM As a 2v2 player, I have run into something similar. Although it is more anecdotal than based on checking my opponents ladder ranks. Basically I seem to be very streaky. I will win a few then get hammered with 4+ losses. It happened so much with Soviets that I basically gave up playing them for the last few weeks because losses with them are so much more frustrating than Germans. I suspect any issues with matchmaking are based on the pool of available players. Barring any major code flaws, not enough players is always the problem with matchmaking. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Soviet Grenade Notification?17 Oct 2013, 19:30 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 15:15 PMBlovski Yeah, units shouting for their own grenades is probably in need of a fix. Yea, I hate that. I click to throw a grenade, then move to another point on the battlefield. The I heard my guys shouting about grenades so I quickly come back to find them warning me about the grenade I told them to throw... In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: it would be so nice to be able to hotkey the tac map17 Oct 2013, 17:27 PM I am definitely going to give autohotkey a try when I get home. I believe you don't need the "return" statement after the #ifWinActive directive. Nor do you need the other return if you put it all on one line. In: Lobby
Thread: it would be so nice to be able to hotkey the tac map17 Oct 2013, 14:08 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2013, 06:11 AMTheSoulTrain The fact that you can't re-assign hotkeys in a 2013 game blows my mind. Agreed! The only reason that they don't do it is laziness. Seriously though, I would probably blame it on the artists/design people. The picky artists don't want to have to make the text art for the hotkeys or they don't want their precious aesthetics destroyed by having something like "r-ctrl" over the button. The work is easy enough for programmers to do so long as they designed it in the from the start. I am left handed and using the current assignment really sucks. What I really want it to be able to assign stuff to the numpad. I actually like the tac map where it is at. It is the only thing that is convenient! In: Lobby
Thread: Lobby demands reach new heights!10 Oct 2013, 18:27 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2013, 17:07 PMherr anfsim If thats the case, and people would preffer playing custom games, whats the problem? If you couldnt find oponents in automatch because most people were playing custom games, Id say that it was a great decition to reintroduce the most favoured gametype, wouldnt you? Secondly, if you try to force people who dont like automatch and VP to play that way, a lot will just quit the game, wich people apparently are doing. Dont you guys understand that forcing a huge part of the playerbase away will hurt you as well? That is really the question isn't it? Of the total playerbase (not just the vocal ones), what is the preference? Either way there clearly is a split. I know they had that ingame survey. Hopefully that helps them figure it out. But in the end, as I stated, it is my opinion that the game is better with auto match vs lobbies. However, I don't think it would be bad to have a meeting place for people to form custom games. A simple custom game chat room would probably suffice. That would keep people who really want custom games focused in there and everyone else can do the one click automatch. In: Lobby
Thread: Lobby demands reach new heights!10 Oct 2013, 16:48 PM I'm starting to think this game is better without lobbies. By having both auto match and lobbies you are splitting the community. This means that fewer and fewer people will play automatch because it will take longer to find a game. Eventually automatch will die and you will only be left with lobbies. Lobbies and leaderboards don't really go well together either. But I don't care so much about leaderboards either. I do like getting good matches though, which auto match is the best at since it tries to match up players of similar skill. In: Lobby
