Thread: Future Balance Items by Relic21 Nov 2013, 16:24 PM Jump back to quoted post16 Nov 2013, 02:54 AMCieZ Building things slower doesn't actually increase the timing of a T-70 hitting the field. It only reduces the amount of time that the combat engineers have to spend in base building, which still isn't very long. I'd much rather see some form of a change that would delay the initial T-70. Currently they can be chasing off your gren squads before Schrecks or PaKs are even out. I never thought of it that way. I also, agree that T70 comes too quickly. I had one out on me at the 6:00 mark in the game shooting at my gren! Which, btw I decap his fuel for about 30secs in that 6mins. My build was gren, mg, gren, tier 2, tier 2 building and pak. The pak was at 30% when his t70 was attacking me. I don't know what else to do as what i did was pretty minimum and getting to pak asap. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What the PRO's think of COH221 Nov 2013, 11:46 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2013, 21:33 PMSepha I wouldn't say the game is garbage, it's a solid follow up to the original and with patches, most things will get even better. Big problems are the DLC, bulletin and online system and the idea of marketing/producing CoH2 towards the comp stomping/casual community. There are plenty more problems that have made the game unfun to play to the point where I just don't feel like playing any more and likely won't. If eventually there are patches in future that improve CoH2 to the point where it's fun enough then I'll play it again, but I don't have to force myself to play it, I'll just wait until that time. First off I am not a pro, but here is my opinion. Yes I agree with you that the DLC is the main problem. I think the best way to get what we want from Relic/Sega is not by you not playing, but is by you not "paying". The bottomline is that they have your money and they aren't going to get give it back. If Relic knows that you are not happy and not going to pay them more money in the future, they might make changes. So, I think the best way is to not buy their "new content" and tell them that. I think that we are correct to voice your displeasure and tell/show them why you won't pay them again until they fix the problems(imbalance/new content/lack of support/lack features/ALL of what HolyHammer said ). However, from the state that COH2 is in and the way it is going I don't think it can be fixed. How can it when every time a patch is release where they fix an imbalance, but they release new content with the changes that wasn't in the previous problem? It is counter productive because if you balance the game by buffing/nerfing a unit say the T70, how can it balance if it hasn't been properly play tested against a new unit/ability? IE: Soviet Industry? Now Relic has to go back and makes changes again and perhaps undo some changes that they did before which is what I meant by counterproductive. But hey.... this is just my opinion and to be frank, I don't think there will be a good RTS for a long time. As nowadays it is all about money. Think about it, would you make a RTS, spend x hours developing, support, play testing, etc... and make an one time sale? OR Would you rather do all of the same things I have just mention and say... make a MMORPG and have people pay you every month? Or perhaps have them pay every month for a new commanders and "new content"? Money/Math rules here. So, what does leave us as the RTS community? Well unless a company goal is to make a RTS and make a one time profit from it(which by the way wouldn't be a very good business decision) then we would rarely, if ever see a good/balance RTS again.

Thread: What the PRO's think of COH221 Nov 2013, 11:07 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2013, 19:31 PMxHoLyHammerx the game is garbage COH2 is broken in so many ways and design elements its not even funny. -RNG has a ridiculously big impact which should not be the case in a competetive RTS game. Nothing is consistent (infantry criticals, mortars, artillery weapons, the whole flame weapon system, tanks/paks missing or not, penetration system, ram etc...) These are all random elements which you cant control and can very easily decide games. and this is a big part of the reason why this game has an unbelievably low skill ceiling, imo its competing with CoD games in that category. -the 2-3 second command lag is a huge issue, it further lowers the skill ceiling, cant react to nades or stop vehicle from moving in time which you could do otherwise. -the building cover system is fucked, its way too strong and the only reliable counter early game is flamer which is only available on the vulnerable pios/engineers (not counting penals) Snipers having 40% accuracy against units in buildings is a joke, another element that depends purely on luck. -Autocover is terrible and can be really annoying. Units tend to crawl on the floor if you drop a nade close to them, if its a molotov units often crawl back to the fire and die thanks to autocover and random chance of death by fire. Snipers ignore attack command and start crawling towards the enemy. -vehicle pathing is horrible, nuff said. -blizzards on winter maps add nothing but frustration and annoyance, they are fucking horrible. -all these op DLC commanders are just sad, they ruin this already fucked game even more. -terrible map design in many cases that hugely favor one side like langres, road to kharkov, kholodny etc. -the whole bulletin system is the most retarded thing i have ever seen for a RTS game. -The complete lack of any kind of information regarding what units/abilities actually do, dps values, health pool etc. -No SLI support. Im forced to play on low settings with a gtx690 cos of it. Its just ridiculous. And lets not forget about all the missing multiplayer elements that even 10-15 old year games had on release. -No Ladder/Leaderboards. You cant even see your elo rating. -No ingame Lobby for custom games. -No spectator mode... this one is just too funny -Outdated replay system. And probably many other things i forgot to include. Its no wonder the game is dead, in fact it was dead on release already. I couldn't have sum it up better. I 100% agree. It is sad. I don't see a good end to this game and by the time it might be fixed no one would care anymore. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet FHQ30 Sep 2013, 09:19 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Sep 2013, 05:47 AMEnkidu Point 1 and point 4 were bugs which were hot fixed. As for the rest of it, I'm not sure Soviets or Germans are really happy with the FHQ right now. The bonuses are really good meaning it can be a pain if you don't have indirect fire near it already BUT the thing is stupidly expensive for how easily it's killed when there is indirect fire available. One mortar crit and you just lost 480mp and 80 fuel. I think the FHQ would be a lot more viable and less annoying for everyone if it were 250mp (like the base medics), decappable, and only provided healing and reinforce, no combat buffs. Also, if it were decappable and provided no buffs, I really don't think it would need a setup time at that point. I agree 100% you know your balance! In: COH2 Balance
