Thread: Sheman Emergency Hotfix required!!!5 Oct 2015, 20:05 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2015, 19:22 PMCuddletronic Our, 1st Priority is to get this bug fixed. Ban recommendations were made for users caught using this in Automatch. And I'm calling Relic out for their policy of issuing bans on exploits. Because this could either turn into: 1. A witch hunt. 2. Accusations that you're not banning enough. I think I've made a strong case that accusing someone for this exploit is not that clear cut. Sure you can get your tanks firing 1000% faster, but what about 50%, or 30%? If you end up with 4 tanks that fire 30% faster than they should, it's still an exploit, no? What about the fact that people want to repair their tanks and over the course of a long game they can unknowingly reach some arbitrary ban threshold? My point is that fixing the bug is all Relic should be doing, not policing. If it was up to me, I would temporarily disable USF in automatch until this gets fixed. If anyone can unknowingly trigger this exploit and be banned for it, then it's better to just remove the faction. In: COH2 Bugs

If someone sits in their base hopping in and out of their vehicle with reload speed bulletins I think it's pretty obvious. I dunno if bans are necessary, but I would assume they're only going to ban the most egregious abusers. It's not that clear-cut when you think about it. You wouldn't have to go full retard on the exploit to gain a significant advantage. You could take a hit, pull back, repair, re-engage, pull back, etc. Over the course of several minutes you could easily increase your fire-rate by 50-100% and still play mostly a normal game. As you get more vehicles, you can delay the game more and more and stack the odds in your favor. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Sheman Emergency Hotfix required!!!5 Oct 2015, 18:18 PM I'm sorry but this bans for exploits policy is just wrong. How do you draw the line between a bannable exploit and one that is OK? And how many times do you need to exit and re-man a vehicle before you qualify for a ban? Everyone has their interpretation. In OCF, crocs, ace doctrine and rifle company were banned (and rightfully so if you ask me). At high-level play some of the more questionable gameplay mechanics can have a very significant and unfair impact on the outcome of a battle. I would argue that if you start going down the path of banning people for using this bug, you should ban people using the croc or lieg spam. Or Relic can bite the bullet, live up to its mistakes and fix the damn game in a timely manner. What was all that talk about a "game as a service"? Well the service is broken, and Relic's answer is to punish first and fix later. It really doesn't look good. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Top 5 Reasons as why the Cenatur does not need any nerf.1 Oct 2015, 21:48 PM Just because a faction is weak in many other areas does not mean one of their units is not overperforming. Just because there are counters to a unit does not mean the unit is not overperforming. Also, Centaur is bugged vs buildings. That at least, should have been tepid-fixed a while back.

Thread: Give Volks MP44 through Veterancy29 Sep 2015, 21:38 PM They already have the incendiary nade for CQC an it's arguably (OP) the most cost-effective anti-personnel nade in the game. Besides, making a generalist unit even better than it already is would only serve to alienate the specialist units. It's like you've accepted that you shouldn't ever build Obers or Falls and decided the only way to bring OKW up to par with the other factions is to buff the already overused unit. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Centaur28 Sep 2015, 15:27 PM The reason you rush for Centaur as Brits is because it's the only unit that can make up for their weak early game. Without it, they just wouldn't be viable at all. I'd prefer if Relic dropped this silly idea of timing advantage but the game is what it is. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Is heavy artillery not a necessary role?23 Sep 2015, 16:32 PM I would say it isn't necessary in 1v1. There's usually some wiggle room for flanking. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Dear Relic23 Sep 2015, 03:12 AM I can take delays. Delays happen. But the kind of bugs that make it through their QA though, that I don't understand. In: Lobby
Thread: FYI: Hotfix is coming!!!! 21 Sep 2015, 20:45 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2015, 20:29 PMFiresparks usually the line troop get weaker grenade than the elites. Imagine if Volks get the same bundled nade as the fallschirm or ober. Not a very good way to make your point considering the Volks' nade is currently better than the bundled nade. In: Lobby
Thread: Panzer 4 Command Tank is Overperforming15 Sep 2015, 21:45 PM I really like the direction Relic took with the Brit command tank by giving it a 50% speed reduction. It forces the player to be smart with his positioning. Conversely, a proper flank from the opposing side is also much harder to escape from so good counterplay is rewarded. Win-Win. I could see a small speed reduction working well on the Ost counterpart. Something around 10%. In: COH2 Balance
