Thread: CoH Worldbuilders Map Making Competition 2024 11 Nov 2023, 22:47 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2023, 19:14 PMWhiteFlash Anonymity is crucial to this competition, a great idea and looking forward to seeing what the competition produces Thank you WF! Your support is greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to check out the new maps! In: News
Thread: A new approach to balancing the game20 Oct 2023, 22:37 PM See, this could be an idea that you could test in a mod if it was possible to make detailed modifications to the tree. I'm not sure exactly what you mean or how it would work but that's why a mod would help! In: COH3 Central
Thread: New 2023 Roadmap13 Sep 2023, 22:08 PM Making a double post because this is important re: regional sales. The game could do with a price decrease in areas with lower income. There are lots of people that want to play CoH but coh2 was free and is cheaper. SEGA seemed to have just made people pay $60 USD no matter where you lived so in some areas of the world that is a significant portion of your income. About Russia, it's not SEGA's decision or a marketing issue there, it's the ongoing sanctions as a result of the war. I think there are some workarounds but it is much more difficult to pay for games if you live in Russia at the moment. In: COH3 Central
Thread: New 2023 Roadmap13 Sep 2023, 22:05 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Sep 2023, 19:24 PMadamírcz I suppose an explanation (other than general relic incompetence) is a dogshit map editor, gathering from what I read in Rosboner´s rants The editor is less optimized than the game but I think it's a hardware issue on his part. The larger the map or the more assets are on it, the slower it gets, but Rosbone seems to have those issues from the start whereas many others are fine but only notice the slowdown as they progress in their map's development. tl;dr the map editor is functional and an improvement over coh2's but could be improved.

Thread: Why listening to the community isn't always good.31 Aug 2023, 16:55 PM Community managers are Relic employees and they definitely didn't have the sway to dictate how many factions are picked. I just don't think that's their job. I don't know who pushed for four factions but I'm guessing that Relic took the feedback in from the first two games and realized that a lot of people didn't like the length of time it took to balance the game post-launch. I think four factions and campaign setting was a big issue. Splitting the art department between Italy and North Africa ate up a lot of resources. There are a bunch of entities (objects in old coh parlance) that we just don't have in coh3 that we did in coh1/2 and a bunch of unfinished ones. If four factions has been DAK/ITA and US/UK and the game was mostly set in 1942 North Africa the game would probably be much better. I'm not sure how you'd get four factions in an Italian setting, but there could be two Italian factions with a similar core but with some vehicles and equipment from the their allied side. Sort of 3.5 factions if you will. The importance of the campaign setting is something I don't think is brought up in these discussions. RTS games have about an 80/20 split singleplayer/multiplayer of units sold. I don't know why CoH would be an exception to that, so that's why a lot of time, money, and work hours go into the singleplayer portion of the game. (this is also why there are so few 3v3/4v4 maps compared to 1v1/2v2 maps; you don't make a 4v4 map for a campaign because it's too big). In: COH3 Central
Thread: Dead site.30 Jun 2023, 04:04 AM Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2023, 04:49 AMRosbone As I said, I started a Discord server. The one thing that is great about Discord and other forums is the REACTIONS. Having a LIKE button is fantastic. Really wish ORG had this. Would make conversations so much better when two people are going at each other. The likes would help people realize they are way on the other side of what most people like. are you not aware of the official .ORG discord server? In: Scrap Yard
Thread: [CoH 3] (8) Hill 20917 Jun 2023, 07:29 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Jun 2023, 04:13 AMTric I was never asked but was also lazy/busy/consumed with making this map (it wasn't up to my standards by the 30th May date). In: Map Sharing
Thread: [CoH 3] (8) Hill 20916 Jun 2023, 03:55 AM Hey .ORG folks! I wanted to share my latest creation here, Hill 209. I took heavy inspiration from Rommel's failed Easter Battle along Tobruk's Red Line in April, 1941. It's quite a large map but provides a mix of open space for battles of maneuver in the south and tighter sight lines among rocks and burning tanks in the north. I've also managed to make some vehicle wrecks as cover which was quite a pain. Hopefully Relic adds more destroyed vehicle assets into the game I've benefitted from feedback from Greyshot 117 as I've submitted this map as part of his 4v4 competition. You can check out all entries by visiting the collection on Steam. There is a community vote prize too where you can vote for Hill 209 or one of the other nine! In: Map Sharing
Thread: Greyshot Production 4v4 Map Contest30 May 2023, 04:17 AM Hi .org! I've made a Steam Collection that has all ten submissions for easy reference. In the description is a link to the original Reddit post where you can find more information there. There's some good variety here so I'm interested to see how things turn out! In: COH3 Central
