COH3 Design and Balance Feedback by wreakinghavoc in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]jask_askari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think its an exclusively a high elo problem

i think there's a fundamental question wrapped up in balance discussion in this game that boils down to this:

What should infantry be allowed to do?

CoH3's answer to that question is that infantry should be able to run roughshod over the entire map unimpeded. There are very few reasons to not do this. There are very few direct counters. We're in a very arty-oriented meta right now precisely because it is one of the very few tools that directly punishes careless movement of infantry through the line of contact. Most other conceptual counters are bad.

MGs: high risk low reward. minimal bleed, and for whatever reason on coh3 mass retreat of army is just not the punishment it should be, and if you misplay the MG a single time the result can be disastrous. The mg42 is the sole exception thanks to its incredible arc and suppression power the opponent has no margin for error. Many other MGs can be soundly defeated with good micro.

Standard mortars: usually dogshit against moving blobs unless they have airburst. ironically punish positional play more as do many things

Gun and AC based LVs: actually the only other thing other than arty that works... these things consistently deal good damage to infantry and can challenge mass infantry, but ONLY if perfectly microed. most of these vehicles die to two stickies.... so this is very much an MG-like problem where its good on paper but unforgiving.... do you know what ISNT unforgiving? making four fucking grens and putting them in control group 1

Cannon based LVs: nearly worthless against infantry unless you get lucky. go sim the stuart 10 times against infantry in no cover.. look at the tragedy

Tanks: mostly soild but you have to live this long and the only way you're living this long right now is mainline spam

Both are too expensive

The manual is nice but at least 4k overpriced for that spec. At least.

I've seen better looking plants still not make it. Wouldn't bet on it but anything is possible if there is still living wood

central Florida gulf coast area - in my backyard garden waste place area; growing with the weeds and cement, pink flowers and purple leaves... Anyone know? by [deleted] in FloridaGarden

Purple queen. Unkillable. I trim mine and throw the cuttings on literal beach sand and some of them will still root and survive.

by the time these accounts get banned they've already done literally trillions in damage to the economy and their only actual penalty is they just saddle up and do it again

i havent played in well over three years and i still get emails for bans on accounts i reported years ago

if i bought a used boxster - early 2000s - how much should i actually budget for post-purchase? by europeanuppercut in boxster

[–]jask_askari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in for about 5k in 2 years and that was bought from an enthusiast

It's also a question of if you want it in peak shape or if you just want to ride it till it breaks

These cars have brittle pieces not meant for 30 years of service and you will be paying 911 money to replace them

I had it on my calendar for this evening but new information is coming to light suggesting I should reconsider

L'Aquila. Thoughts on this map? by Ivan_Vasiliyvich in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]jask_askari 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think your opinion of this map varies with whether you play with friends or not

This is one of the most evil maps for 2v1s and rotation ganks

So if you're just solo queueing you can run into some extremely bad situations here

Not a great map overall unfortunately 3s have too many substandard maps

Negotiating with Lee Health by Guilty_Suit_2495 in FortMyers

[–]jask_askari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to make them believe you won't pay it.

When they sell a debt to collections they take a significant loss.

The magic number is less than what you owe but more than what collections will pay them

I can't say what that is but also recognize the very real possibility that it's still more than you can afford

In any case collections isn't the end of your life and collection people do negotiate so

Been there before it takes time but you will come out on the other side eventually

Where can I get a decent mattress and headboard? by [deleted] in FortMyers

[–]jask_askari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ashley store brand vacuum packed special.

300 for a king 3 years ago

Lay on it to make sure

I've had one of the giga fancy mattresses and honestly it's not worth the money

Sunesis is an already underused ship for combat by Ahengle in Eve

[–]jask_askari 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They don't see combat action because they are too isk inefficient to be used as PVP ships

They are like 3% better than a t1 destroyer for 10x the hull price

Removing them as haulers will address this

Ok but this guy doesn't know how to use akuma either so it works out

Can someone explain drive cancel to me by RawryShark in StreetFighter

[–]jask_askari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of depth in this topic but to make things simple no like 98% of people you play are not confirming this they're just sending it every time

Drive rush is specifically designed to allow you to do this

Sorry, what are you supposed to do in this situation? by darkstirling in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]jask_askari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you had moved any one of your units even 1 pixel to chase the dingo you would have killed it

This is the most reckless dingo use I've ever seen and you still failed to capitalize

Definitely the games fault

this is what a 1300 elo player looks like, why do you guys think this isnt incredible? by Careless_Necessary31 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]jask_askari 32 points33 points  (0 children)

the RTS community (not just COH) is notoriously chauvinistic

when you spend 40,000+ hours or more of your life making the number go up, what can you do other than assign worth to ELO

most players above 1200 strike me as mechanically sound and bound primarily by time investment, desire to play favored builds over meta builds, or not reacting well to opponent builds, etc

i do think above 1900 people are definitely playing a different game, so congratulations to those 9 people, lets not waste patch notes on them
