He's been moved to third place round, which ain't too bad.

Scratch that, things have changed again.

im believing harder than ever von.

good luck with this clustergarden. .

How dare they have business. Disgusting
Anyway

Can't wait to play this beta after class tonight. CruW

Theres some general reasons why we dont have alot more NEW text guides in general, A lot of the CURRENT strategists here are:

1. burned out on the game/dont play nearly enough to write a guide

2. arent going to write a big guide just so a patch can force them to rewrite it, which runs into 3,

3. Just dont care anymore

4. MOSTLY just lazy/unmotivated HOWEVER, we are ALL unpaid volunteers. So im not gonna slap people in the face, threaten them and their family with their job, etc for not doing guides because that would be some stalin level shit and its the last thing any admin, or I want to be..



So, lets talk about #4 and money for a second.

Yeah, theres no pay or donation systems for guides or anything. Yeah, before this thread is turned into a massive shitpost about coh2.org moneygrabbing, im fully aware that this is a fansite, and The point of a fansite, the point of doing everything here... is just for doing it out of love. Keep in mind this is also almost my second year of doing this coh2.org thing for free and simply because I love seeing people excited that they're getting better, learned something new etc.

even though at times working on stuff with this site takes up a disproportionate amount of time for the pay back(which is nothing in my case ) i've never and still dont ask for a penny. Just being a little bit helpful for some newb gives me a special type of high that keeps me going and coming back each day.

HOWEVER, i also know that not everyone is motivated like me, understandably.

i would love to offer people the opportunity to share their knowledge, and write out a good ol OKW guide and whatnot and get a little change/money love for it. Right now I dont have that motivational ammo though.

With all the "COh2.oRG LOVES TO POCKET DONATIONS111!" etc that goes around, NATURALLY, its a touchy subject to push for a donation system on guides.

and I didnt want to write a we're poor send monies sobstory, expecting pity..I hate talking like this I really do. but bear with me here...

a good length, well written TEXT guide is no joke in terms of work...from actual playtesting the guide to see if it actually works, to the writing of the content, to the pictures, to the editing(oh god the editing) to the art...all of it for free. If a team of people on a guide could get 10-30-50 bucks or something for working on a guide??? Holy shit.

I know personally, id sleep very easy at night, and you'd likely see alot more guides i bet!!! and everything would be great!! Its the same issue all around the site. Money, money money. Compensation, compensation, compensation.

So Maybe one of these days ill start a poll as to whether or not the community here would deem a donation system for the authors/artists of a guide acceptable/something that they;d be interested in supporting...as far as I know, its never been done obviously, or discussed because despite the claim, oh let me add, quite frankly ridiculous claim that we all are just money grabbing, milking coh2....

FOR THE MOST PART(see next paragraph)we DO our jobs, this whole thing, this whole site, out of love for the game and the community, we really do. I dont know how much more I can emphasize that or prove it, but its the truth.

But, the more work, pressure, etc we(as Admins) put on VOLUNTEER staff members to make good content, the more "wheres my compensation" or "why should I do this shit during my free time, whats in it for me" becomes the elephant in the room, the thing that stops progress(like alot more guides, or a new SNF). Everything here requires TIME and energy! Its requires peoples time!!!!!

so TLDR, it doesnt matter how pure your heart is, how little you want money etc, sometimes you want some sort of reward for the hard work you do.

I'd literally love to see coh2.org giving out wages and shi for guides. So a donation system would be very sexy. anyway.....enough moneygrabbing sobstory, lets talk about why theres no brit/okw guides..

Why don't we have more strategy guides for the British and the OKW? I mean even the USF have 7 guides (2 were commanders and units guide) while Ostheer have 4, Soviet have 5. 

The British literally have none while OKW only have 1 guide related to Spec Ops commander even though there has been quite some interesting strategies envolve other commanders. I really want to learn how to use OKW commanders effectively since I have been learning how to play them recently, especially related to specific build orders and how should I play when picking this or that commander.‎

The state of the factions combined with the above issues for the longest time dont help us. The reason you never see an OKW guide, or a british guide, is because OKW for literally ever, and british even now... were simply braindead factions.

Did you really want a guide on how to use shrek volks, make a forward simcity, kite with a luchs and throw flame nades? Do you really want a guide on how to put down emplacements? Thats pretty much the extent of both of those factions until you reach the ultra high level,( where of course, if you want to improve, a guide wont help you. A mentor/high level friend will)

They are just not very deep factions strategy or philosophy wise. compared to EFA/USF. USF is even bordering on braindead nowadays, but USF before was tough to play which is why you see guides on them.


Now saying ALL that, now that oKW has been reworked into a less retarded faction, we should totally push for more OKW guides. However I dont know of anyone on staff that can do anything consistent with OKW, as the common meme with OKW is that they're absoulute trash/#literallyunplayable etc(and I agree completely with that)

No, its because the guide community is dead not because the factions are shallow.

Slightly true...but again I think its motivation above anything else.

to end my wall of text.
If theres anyone, ANYONE out there that can write well, and is expierienced with a faction and wants to share some strategy love to help noobz l2p.....

plz, plz, plz. contact me by PM!

And what would you guys think of donations for guides and GUIDES staff only? Please let me know!
