I don't see a problem with it as they are so close to base and in the next sector which is pretty safe.

Have you experienced game losses because of this?

Maybe you be lucky and survive.

General Discussion / Re: The mod really needs a mandatory update system

« on: February 04, 2010, 06:20:53 PM »

I can not find anybody online anymore.

Are they all stuck in this abyss? Or do the refuse to update because the realease was too OP for the Russians so all they want to do is win.

Maybe they're waiting for they next patch? Butt why?

So much has changed in the last patch, that you need to play alot more games in order to make a suggestion/judgement.

When all is silent, that is when you have to worry

You got that right!

Look what happened to Sudden Strike. They made SS3 which failed and everyone left the game and the forum.

Conscripts are zero population.

Your problem is the nerfing of the units which makes it harder for you to get more territory.

You need more territory to build more units.

Well that would be very hard to do...

The Dev's have already stated there is a problem with music rights, so not hard rock for EF.

Red Army Suggestions / Outposts

« on: February 02, 2010, 08:43:42 PM »

Gee... I was looking for the thread that listed all the stats...

Anyhow, How about an increase in health to the OP?

They get killed very easily.

Perhaps an upgrade? For 50 MP or MU increase health by 50 and also secure point.

I would like to see a increase detetion range so it can kill snipers.

The problem I see with the T-90
is that late game they are not good against Vets and 1 of those squads will have a shrek.

They work great on maps with room to move. Run around and flank from rear or almost rear. Even in late game this helps alot.

Unfortunately, alot of EF maps have too many obsticles to manuver effectively.

I would like to see the T-90 have this abilty in place of the T-70.

Then you can kill snipers easily and combat infantry.

It would have to be tested as in may be OP.

Ja, kinda of funny you can spot the sniper but can't kill it or damgae it very easily unlike the mortorcycle jeep and bren

Tech Support / Freeze from Sound

« on: February 02, 2010, 04:39:55 AM »

I get the game to freeze. the sound repeats and you have to turn off the PC as Cntrl Alt Delete or Alt tab doesn't work.

This is on Multiplayer.

werdae8.dir00\RelicCoH.exe.mdmp
werdae8.dir00\appcompat.txt

When it happens different files are bad

Like 72 74 80 inplace of the "8" above

This is using the Real Tec audio driver on HP machine

No matter what - Soviets will fight to the last!!! 

ha ha... you got that right cause that's all they can do now.

U must be unemployed if your fighting to death 24/7

I would have gladly traded shooting while camouflaged for the big nerf on sniper artillery.
 Looks too expensive to call in Art now but I will have to wait to make a judgement.

Balance Discussion / Re: Patch 1.03 WHAT HAVE YOU DONE...

« on: February 02, 2010, 02:30:30 AM »

You were quite happy to play 1.00 of utter OPness without complaint but as soon as we get the nerf bat out everyone starts crying cause they can't wipe the floor with an opponent...typical...

On another note...yes Soviets are be a bit UP at the moment but this IS a consious decision I've taken. This is because its easier to have a faction that is UP slowly turned into a better balanced faction rather than an OP one slowly turning into a balanced one, hence the hard initial nerfings!

Great!

And I would not uninstall the mod.
I think your strategy for tweaking is what I would do.

It's just really hard right now for you guys to get both sides from spamming infantry. And it's hard to work around the No secure, no retreat, and no re-crew.

I just wish that  German Pak wasn't bugged by Relic.
I'm still gonna play a few more games to see if I can think of anything.

The upgrades on the Soviets are good, it was the nerfing of other areas that I have to deal with for now to see if I can input any advice.

All I can really say is ones experience on different maps are completely different.

For example; you can struggle now on the new patch with EF maps, then go play a well know map from CoH and get some wild results depending upon, size, terrain and especially resources. This is the same map design problems in regular CoH where maps were laid out before the OF and TOV units came along.

I have designed maps and balanced units on other games.


It is very hard to tweak a balance.

You are doing the correct thing. Baby steps. Play,  tweak, play tweak, play.

Oh, by the way ... I still get a freeze from the midi sounds. Doesn't always happen and never occurs in regular CoH. I have the latest drivers. Everything is fine. I haven't seen any other mention of crash or freezes coming from anyone else.

However there was discussion concerning sound.  I posted it in the bug forum.

By they way... we had problem with re-crewing in the past. I believe it was in Sudden Strike. The problem was resolved. I went to the old archives and searched but couldn't find anything.  I wish I could find those thread concerning that problem.

I agree with Capt.

Now the USSR can't even take half the map.  Too weak.

Complete and utter waste of my time.

All this nerfing doesn't compensate for the lack of securing and re-crewing.

Those are big disadvantages.

And now they want to go off and make the Istheer, which will even be a stronger faction.
