Thread: Smoke Bombs10 Feb 2014, 09:01 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2014, 06:41 AMstichy -1 on faster drop, I think predicting and reacting is a worthy skill to have. In some maps you need to know 15-20 seconds in advance that you will need smoke, which makes it offensive only ability. It can cover your push, but it will never be on time when you need to back off.

Thread: Balance the Germans10 Feb 2014, 08:59 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2014, 04:21 AMVolsky words I think you're looking through waaay to pink tinned nostalgia glasses here or don't remember much about vCoH anymore. Wasn't defensive med bunker for wehr an abusive strat? BAR rifles with airborne into shermans/wolverines? Greyhound shock strats? Brits being the definition of abuse, regardless what they did? No need for hard AT for anything below T4, because sticky cheeze bombs were enough to take everything lighter then P4? German vet3 sniper spam? American sniper vs PE? Because of how deflection damage worked a frigin HOTCHKISS could take on best allied armor and win, the whine would NEVER end if 4-5 T-70 could drop a tiger/ele as hotchkisses STOMPED pershing. You're also exaggerating much about these split second timings as well. CoH2 is more micro intensive then vCoh. Also, 6-8 months into vCoH release you didn't had any diverse strats at all, that developed OVER 7 YEARS. First year was basically who can cheez out more. That would be about it when it comes to actual reality check. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why don't you take part in tournaments?10 Feb 2014, 08:41 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2014, 01:04 AMherpderpsherbert *Not enough patch support or communication from Relic. Feels like a disinterested dev (years of waiting on CoH1 balance patches doesn't give me much hope) For the lack of a better word I'd say this line is pure whine. We've had at least patch per month so far. Only now it does take a bit longer, but that does not mean there is no 'patch support'. Communication is also top level. Thing is, they don't have much to say atm and they explained why every single time when we knew there will be patch soon, but didn't knew when or what it will contain. Also, vCoH balancing was slow and to expect frequent patching today is delusional to say the least, DoW2 was much faster then that, CoH2 got amazing patch timing. In: Lobby
Thread: Revitalizing the COH2 community?10 Feb 2014, 08:35 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Feb 2014, 08:26 AMMarcoRossolini Red Orchestra 2 is hardly dead... Well, Red Orchestra series for FPS genre is pretty much what CoH series is for RTS genre. A unique, type of thing with niche community, but that doesn't mean that it is unpopular or 'dead' at all.

Thread: Why don't you take part in tournaments?9 Feb 2014, 23:27 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 23:19 PMPingPing Noun, no disrespect intended here, but it's canned responses like this, without even as much as acknowledging the problem raised, is what makes many here feel like things won't change. Because Noun is not a person to acknowledge for anything. His job is to gather and pass feedback from community to devs and informations from devs right back to us. Be happy he talks to us at all, because vast majority of CMs simply ignore community and limit themselves to posting patch notes/tweets and other important but not community engaging stuff. In: Lobby

I've lost plenty of games just because my enemy had a Tiger Ace and I did not. And we all know relic thinks TA is fine unit and it will never ever be nerfed at all, because we all know that for relic the balance doesn't matter In: Lobby
Thread: Why don't you take part in tournaments?9 Feb 2014, 15:06 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 15:02 PMspajn Comebacks are good, but not when they feel like the game is artificially creating them. Comebacks should be done by the players not the game. And they are. TA is only exception from that rule, but it will be butchered by nerfs soon enough. Now, lets not make any more offtopic here.

Thread: Why don't you take part in tournaments?9 Feb 2014, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2014, 14:55 PMspajn This!!! The comeback mechanic is way too much! So often you can have the advantage and have majority of the map for a long time then.. boom a lucky mortar hit or two and now its even.. maybe your even behind.. your 15 min of brilliant play down the drain.. not really motivates you to improve your play. yes RNG was in coh1 too but not at this level. CoH series and DoW2 were always about comebacks. Its not spamcraft, where you loose one barracks or 5 more units and loose all game because of it. In: Lobby
Thread: Panzergrens8 Feb 2014, 22:31 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2014, 22:14 PMLichtbringer Wut? The surpression doesn't increase. Bystanding units just get surpressed too. (Ok, thats wording, but I wanted to make this clear so that we are on the same page) And I am pretty sure thats the same for the Maxim. German MG42: - Increased nearby suppression multiplier from .4 -> .55. This applies 55% of the weapon’s suppression to nearby squads. - Increased nearby suppression radius rom 10 -> 12 This pretty much means the more squads are in AoE, the better MG42 suppression is. Unless I've made some horrible mistake in understanding this. Maxims values should be lower for that, but I couldn't dig them up. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Panzergrens8 Feb 2014, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Feb 2014, 22:06 PMwooof i think we all know what you guys would say if a german complained that 1 mg42 couldnt stop 3 cons... I'm talking about blob, zero attempting at micro or flanking, just a-move. You out of all should know it best that MG42 suppression increases the more entities it shoots at, maxim doesn't share this benefit as far as I'm aware. And don't say 'you guys' to me. I like playing germans as much as soviets. Only happens I don't agree with german only players bitching more then with soviet ones. In: COH2 Balance
