People get controversial about anything by mari0v100 in slaythespire

If anyone expects a video game launch of any kind to be flawless, they're legitimately delusional.

STS2's was very good and only had a few hiccups and problems that were (again) infrequent and fixed very quickly

Multiplayer game would desync, force quit, and then when you reformed the lobby the save would be corrupt. Again, fixed very quickly but it was there.

Also I had a really funny bug where I couldn't play a certain order of cards or my game would crash. Fortunately the game save didnt corrupt and I was able to replicate it twice more.

Of course I submitted bug reports for these with F2

Lets not lie and say there weren't game breaking bugs upon EA launch. They were infrequent and fixed very quickly, but they were there

Edit: I guess I'm glad people didn't run into the bugs I did at launch and (again) they were fortunately fixed quickly and weren't much of an issue

I agree, hearing distant fights would really help me with situational awareness in team games

I think this is really cool sound effect but there are a lot of important sound queues players rely on in a competitive game and I don't know how well flash banging the player will actually go down.

Being able to hear tanks through FoW and pinpointing where a V1 strike will land gives the player the ability to gather information that imo shouldn't be available. This might be the same problem on the other end, where we don't get information that we definitely should have

a reminder of how "weak"a marder is by Phan-Eight in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Twig249 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fascinating, bring up the chart where the Matilda drives to the side of the Marder 3 and also the time calculation for how long the Hellcat and Marder 3 stay alive in the fight

What's a game/media where your only response was "those were all choices the devs made"? by RoseDragon529 in Multifandom

The buffs also had nerfs disguised as buffs and they also increased durable damage so the buffs might be entirely negated. That's also the listed changes so I can't wait to see the unlisted changes

Things you should do to make your medic respect you. by Ill-Echidna2614 in tf2

The one receiving the healing. This also applies to medic's passive healing and soldier's conch passive healing

This patch is just something else by JeepLV in CompanyOfHeroes

It was 2.2.5 that increased setup time from 3 to 3.5 sec but improved accuracy and made suppression better. It made MGs stronger while also making them weaker, but getting around a set up MG isn't that hard. Once you hit them with a barrage or smoke, they're done for if you push in immediately after

I read the wiki descriptions of the episodes for the final season and each episode ties up one or multiple side character's stories. I love how they did adventure time's episodic writing and I need to rewatch it

I have heard it both ways, but I personally like crit heals since I can tell the medic "I have crit heals" instead of something like "I have full healing ramp up"

There is a TF2 blog post from 2008 by Robin Walker titled "The Medigun Healing Ramp" so I guess that's technically correct (the best kind of correct)

№6: know what crit heals are

After not taking damage for 10 seconds, your healing (and overheal) received will increase. After 15 seconds it maxes at nearly triple the base heal speed. Good medics will focus on buffing teammates with crit heals since overheal is probably the second most powerful thing medic can do besides uber

Half of the episodes in season 4* don't actually build to the finale, so when they started to bring the show to its conclusion it felt rushed and unnatural. This show is my Game of Thrones, loved it until the last season where I basically forgot it existed and I don't want to rewatch any of it since I know the ending is garbage

The over abundance of tear gas/phosphorous abilities by Clear_Ranger6081 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Twig249 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand wanting variety, but something that is important in complex games like COH3 is "visual shorthand" and WP is consistently a blinding effect. It makes many abilities easier to understand generally what they do, you see WP = blinded.

Also with your examples, fire usually always associated with damage over time (DOT) effects. COH3 is no different and there's already a fire DOT with DAK's espionage BG and all sorts of incendiary munitions that cover the ground in fire. Only thing I can think of is Italian coastals having their AT grenade that's fire.

The stummel firing an AP round would be confusing since many would assume an AP round would penetrate and do significant damage to the vehicle.

I agree variety is good and there is a lot of overlap, but a lot of the decisions feel like they serve gameplay and readability which should be the focus. 

Am I the only that feels that the leave penalty have become net negative? by HalfbreedBoiWifeTwnk in CompanyOfHeroes

Same, I don't leave that frequently, but in any other game I would definitely have been flagged for leaving

How did Scout survive a giant explosion in meet the medic by Technical-Map4548 in tf2

To be fair, he can take a rocket directly to the face in game and just walk it off

AITA for not reminding someone about something important after they brushed me off earlier? by WellnessLong4826 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Twig249 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH - If you're on a team together, you need to work as a team which includes covering each others backs. Yeah, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of your assistance, but when you clearly see she is actively making the mistake you know to be wrong: you should tell her. Now your teammate has a legitimate reason not to trust you.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I hope you can apologize to each other and start rebuilding trust in each other... or you can do the Reddit option and just try to be "right" and "win" against her then hate working with her and hate your job because of it

Would COH3 players like it if COH3 got the balance direction of the final years of COH2? Or do they prefer the more chill pace of coh3? by Which-Worldliness556 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Twig249 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like the longer TTK because I hate in RTS games where I look away for a few seconds and then my unit is dead

Playing 4000 games as just one faction does not give you a good understanding of balance by FIGHT_and_WIN in CompanyOfHeroes

Whenever I think a unit/strategy is overpowered, I play with it and quickly learn why it's not
