Thread: Ranking system needs to be fixed2 Sep 2014, 05:52 AM Matchmaking uses some kind of ELO number, so I guess that's what you want in your post. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Reload HMGs?1 Sep 2014, 10:39 AM As you're not able to reload them manually, are the reloaded after you have moved them or do they "remember" their status? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Soviet Snipers Squad are not fun1 Sep 2014, 06:03 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Sep 2014, 05:39 AMShadowTreasurer Haven't you seen the realistic movie Enemy at the Gates? Soviet sniper always have to be in pairs, it's illogical and against faction design if it was any less. That's not an argument in the world of CoH. Tigers rear armor was 80% of its front armor, ingame it's 60%. Why? Game balance! In: COH2 Balance

Read every word I wrote, but I guess that's too much to ask here Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 12:34 PMEsxile Our interest cover people willing to play a game. "Yeah, we want to see the preferences of CoH2 players concerning faction choices, so let's just ignore 99% of the players." Ahhh I understand.... that's why during elections, only the votes of the people, who still wait in line 2 minutes before the election offices close, are counted when determining the will of the people! That makes total sense! Yeah, I guess even the best explanations are useless when even the most basic math skills are missing... SlaYoU, I will stop beating these dead math horses from now on (at least in this thread ). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spamm or skill ?27 Aug 2014, 10:33 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 08:02 AMEsxile The matter of fact is more that 80% of people want to play Axis first, whatever their reasons are. Now since 100% of that pool of player want to play the game, some of them just switch faction to have a faster one. Imagine you have 8 people searching as axis, 2 people searching as allies. Finally, matchmaking puts two if them into a game. If one new axis an one new allied player starts searching (which would be a 50/50 split for the newcomers), you still stay at 80% axis. A constant 80% searching axis does not neccessarily equal 80% wanting to play as axis at first, in fact you can't derive anything from these numbers alone (especially not your statement of "80% want to play axis first"). edit: To make it clear: you can't derive what people want to play from these numbers (no % of player preferring axis over allies everytime), you can only derive how many people actually play a faction (what I already did in this thread).

Thread: Spamm or skill ?27 Aug 2014, 05:37 AM Jump back to quoted post27 Aug 2014, 01:13 AMlanciano I wouldnt say its a 4/1 ratio, maybe 3/1 ratio or even 5/3. So if you really want find out here's what you can do! Over say 12hr log the percentages of the factions of ever hour. Once this is done you can make graph or calculate the average percentage which will give you a better idea of what the ratio is. also the bigger the data base you have the more accurate the average will be, so if you take the percentages every half hour for two weeks around the clock the better the results will be. Did you even read what I wrote? You will get ~51/49, probably less, if you consider everybody playing and searching, which is what you have to do to calculate percentage for each faction. Which shows that there is almost no difference in player base. (Even less than) 51 out of 100 people prefer axis. I guess I should have listened to SlaYoU, some people are not good enough with numbers to understand the basics... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Spamm or skill ?26 Aug 2014, 18:00 PM For the mods: I know this is somehow OT, but people need to learn the difference between people searching and actual fraction distribution, so all this whining finally stops. If you think it is too far OT, PM me and I'll move the OT stuff to an own topic you might want to pin. Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2014, 14:58 PMFul4n0 no, but if 75% of players searching for a game, are axis players, only a 33% of axis players searching at a time will find a game, coz only 25% of players searching are allied players... So an axis player has to wait 3x more time than an allied to get a game.... isn´t this a problem for you??? Well, every player has a certain ELO number and someone of you ELO-level might not be searching too, thus searching as allies does not automatically grant an instant game. But the longer you search, the bigger the ELO-"search area" gets, and in my experience it is not that bad as axis compared to allies. Shorter search time would be good if searching as axis, but as it is slightly more popular this will not happen due to these facts: player base is not that big, fixed factions / no mirror matches (good because of the setting). You cannot nearly reach a 50/50 distribution consistently with such a small player base, as there will always be that ~5 people more searching for the other faction. No faction design can change that fact. Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2014, 15:16 PMLizardTa So if in a week every day it says 80% are searching as the the Axis then over 7 days, correct my logic if I am wrong, then 80% of players playing this game are playing as the Axis. I mean I could be wrong.... but I don't think Iam. Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2014, 16:02 PMChris Thats it !! So, to make it easier to understand for you, I'll use absolute numbers. Whenever I'm online, there are around 6000 players online. Let's assume ~100 people are searching for games (which will be far to high, I guess it will be 10-20, but nevermind for now) and half of the players are playing online ( => 3000; which surely is not enough). So among these 3000, 1500 are playing allies, while the other 1500 play as axis. (please don't tell me you don't understand why) Now, in case all of the 100 peolpe searching selected axis, that makes a total of 1600 axis vs 1500 allies. 1600 / (1600 + 1500) = 51.6%. Not that much you see? With less people searching and more than half of the people playing, let's say 50 searching and 4000 playing, you have 2050/4050 = 50.6%. There is practically no difference in the player bases! For every player playing axis, there is exactly one player playing allies. Not more, not less. The few people searching do not change a thing.

Thread: Spamm or skill ?26 Aug 2014, 13:36 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Aug 2014, 12:18 PMChris Mostly I see 80% axis so you´ll get a rate of 80 % of axi players Hahahaha.... wait, you're serious?! Tell that to the 75% of the axis players (60 percent points of the 80%) that play against ghosts while only 25% play vs real players... In: COH2 Balance
