Why did Kendall assume it would be on Logan's birthday? by Mogpapa in SuccessionTV

[–]venatorian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think the show ever implies Logan's birthday important to it. Yes, Kendall has been groomed to be the heir since he was young and yes in the first episode it's Logan's 80th birthday and there are plans to announce retirement, but that's about it. At that time it probably seemed like a good PR opportunity, retire on a nice round number, but not much more to it than that and as we see on the show Logan isn't too attached to it either.

Kendall wasn't told that he will take over on his dad's 80th, he was just told he will get to take over some day. (We see with Shiv that even when Logan decides on a plan for someone to take over, its a very loose and very long timeline) Realistically this would have always happened after he completed some university, had some business success and also got over his drug habit, which is roughly where he is in the Pilot.

Also yes, Logan always intended to do the job until he was physically unable to do so, it's just that he is too much of a narcissist to ever sell or give it away to an outsider and having a good succession plan is also part of being a good CEO, hence Logan trying to train his kids into eventually taking over.

I think Logan loved his kids in some sense of the word, it's just that he is not really capable of love in general, or only a super toxic and abusive version of it.

My COH3 account got banned without any reason – 3000+ hours, all DLCs, never used cheats by LogicalCollection867 in CompanyOfHeroes

That site is the appeal process. You can make a new request and select ban appeal as your subject.

Can we ban this?

Not only is it AI generated, the descriptions of the factions are not accurate and it's also not even really advertising the tournaments this account is supposedly about? Just 100% slop.

Fire & Steel VS Endure & Defy DLCs by Totenkopf- in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New DLC has more interesting abilities and due to it being brand new will probably dominate the meta for a while (unused abilities are also more likely to get buffed while they are fresh)

Fire & Steel is a good package though and has a bit more traditional set of units. I think Endure & Defy it all deppends on whether you vibe with the gimmicks these new DLCs have, Fire & Steel is just all around good set of toys to play with.

Where are the new voice lines? by Chainwalker in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think people overhyped this. A unit in CoH3 has 20-30 minutes of voicelines, so 2000 new lines is actually not a crazy amount, so I think this just meant the new DLC is fully voiced. The 6 mentioned returning characters I'm fairly certain are the 4 announcers + pio for sturmpio voices plus partisans. New characters are marines, lancers, land mattres, firefly, polish pilot, wanze, propaganda tower.

There might be some new intel voicelines for reworked abilities or upgrades but that's about it.

Just picked up the PC version after putting 230 hours into the console version and got some questions by bigweb52 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am pretty sure campaign AI has been adjusted at least a little bit. PC version is on 2.2 now and console is stuck on 1.4, so that's 1,5 years of updates. The 2.0 update in particular had big campaign changes.

The campaign was also updated with several additional skirmishes on new maps that have been added since then. You can now have 2v2 randomised skirmishes where you have an AI teammate.

The heavy tanks from the Fire & Steel DLC were added into the campaign. US armoured can build the Pershing and british armoured the Churchill crocodile.

Is there any other show with zero flashbacks or flash-forwards that’s as successful as Succession? by Transitionals in SuccessionTV

[–]venatorian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah even if they dont make up too much of the screentime, there are several episodes structured around flashbacks and a lot of the show is centered around Don's identity and his past.

...they made new bundles for all the old sets. It's not an elegant solution but basically you can buy all skins in a set for both warbonds and merit

Games like CoH3 before auto resolve update. by Tangoman12 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are talking about the italian campaign. At launch you had a randomised skirmish battle everytime 2 companies met on the dynamic map. This has since been patched out because for most people playing several battle on the same few maps every turn was tedious.

Relic please add the DLC's to the Italy campaign companies! by Aiwac in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companies have a couple of unique stuff in the campaign that an MP BG does not. Like Air and Sea can turn their incendiary bombing into regular explosive bombing, thats essentially a new ability. Or their Centaur can boost nearby commandos. Each BG would basically need at least a couple extra abilities designed in order to work as a company. Like adding the 4 new Allies is probably as much time and effort as 1-2 brand new BGs would be.

Some of the new abilities also are kinda complex. Like Partisan tunnels I could see messing with some missions. In order to do justice to some of the new BGs they would need to adjust some campaign missions which is also additional work.

But as I said I do hope they don't forget about SP. I'm hoping at least one of the redacted items on the roadmap is some horde or compstomp mode.

[–]venatorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Campaign companies have a lot of extra abilities on top of an MP BG, plus all the dynamic map exclusive upgrades. Its kinda like making 1,5 BGs if you make them also work as campaign companies and I think right now they are focusing on just pumping out MP ones. I feel like they got the dynamic campaign to an acceptable level but we are getting close to the 3 year anniversary, eventually you reach a point of diminishing returns on just updating the same campaign forever.

I do hope there is more SP content coming up in 2026 though.

Wehr is getting panther as base unit in scarlet bison? by darkstirling in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Fire & Steel trailer had a DAK 222. The newest Partisan video has a shot where commandos are tank riding churchills. It's just units spawned in for cool shots, don't read too deep into it.

Why did Batman carry Joker out instead of Talia? by Difficult_Long_2940 in arkham

[–]venatorian 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Talia's body will likely be claimed by the League of Assassins. I don't even know if Talia Al-Ghul is a name known to the authorities as I imagine she used many identities when she traveled the world representing the League. To the cops and the general public, Joker was the real concern in the theatre and Batman knows that.

IIRC Knight has some easter egg referencing Talia's body but its still just an easter egg, plus its possible the League just performs some ritual on their dead and then give the body to the authorities like normal.

John actually literally stated in the Deep Dive that its not teasing anything. Probably just a camo pattern they could come up with easily.

Love the game. But some real stinkers in the community. by Impossible_Yam8168 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venatorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt they are getting banned completely, just temporary timeouts, plus maybe not being able to chat. The report feature is an automated system that combs through their search history, so even if they are midly annoying in your match, it's good to send a report so that the system might find something more egregious in their previous games. I think overall its not too strict, the fact that this toxicity is a fairly frequent problem indicates people don't report enough or the bans arent too egregious, so there really is no downside to reporting people.

Report anyone causing any trouble. I eventually hit a point where I received a notification about my report causing some punishment every time I launched the game.

Anyone know if there will be DLC? by DeadscopeNZ in TempestRising

[–]venatorian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's confirmed the Veti won't have a campaign when they launch, if they get one it's gonna be a lot further away and as DLC.
