It seems like everyone is ignoring the reviews that SniperJolly and Rogers did of CoH2 and all of the text and Q&A that Lynx posted. I just want you guys to calm down and relax a bit. All of this talk of CoH Online Hero units and the in game currency that does not exist will do nothing but create hyper bole (if I have the word right). If you’re not impressed just wait until you see the game play and learn what we are saying from the Beta that we will get to play because we listened to what was said.
The currency is supposed to be for future DLC’s.
The XP and Unit boost has been said by Lynx to have nothing to do with paying for an advantage so it may be something entirely different for single player/campaign. Just don’t get your panties in a bunch. (Dane’s words not mine)
As far as the Skins and Commisar chest for level 3 Steam rewards that is pretty cool. If you get the CoH games and Dow 2 Retribution on steam or in any digital format you can always gift them to a player you want to get into Relic’s fanboy club. (I am the president…just kidding) In all honesty have faith in Relic/THQ and relax. Even the Officer Archtype could just be doctrinal Officers. Let the facts come out before you start trashing the game. If you scare one player off that may have bought the game you are doing the game and the community a diservice. Every player is one extra player in the lobby to get quality games with. Who knows you could scare off that one player with your rant based on zero fact that could become your 2v2 mate. RELAX and enjoy the show and Beta if you have the coin to drop on CoH2 now. If not don’t worry you won’t be missing a lot as I a sure this massive semi-open Beta will be shorter than the initial closed invite testing. (If they do that??? but I have no clue I’m just some idiot posting on the internet so don’t take my word as gospel)

Well it’s liverpool man u tomorrow, but I should be on after it. You have a knack of picking days I’m likely to be smashed.
XDC Youtube central here:

Feature and subscribe, and I’ll do the same in return. It helps to do this with any videos we post as well, liking and subscribing will raise you in the search rankings as I understand it.
Ok post your you tube channels if you want them linked to the central xdcgaming one. Just as confirmation you want linked in the first place.
Not to flame or anything Doc, but some didn’t play simply because it was hardcore. Some didn’t play previously because it wasn’t hardcore so same applies, but it wasn’t as simple as people getting bored, I personally just got pissed off at the argument.
I’ve obviously gone with normal in the vote though, however I’d still like to experiment between the modes and settings a bit more.
Alright I’ve tested all the settings and literally the moment you change one, with the exception of vehicle spawn timers and tickets, it delists us from the normal preset. A slight correction to what I’d stated earlier in that there’s no “custom” preset, and we actually show up without “normal” selected. The problem I guess is that lots of people have that selected as standard.
Oh and gary i’ve been able to watch the first ten minutes of that and some awesome shots in there….that headshot on ben crossing the alleyway in particular. Will watch the rest later when got more time.
Need another post due to phone…
We also need to look at advertising it anyway, which is the goal of the youtube thing, but it’s early days there and we need a lot more work ane better organisation to get that going.
I really want to avoid going back to full normal if we can, but it may be necessary if only to pick up some regulars initially. This would affect any advertising efforts though so we need to plan it carefully. First thing though is to experiment and see whether normal will still list us with some options off.
When I chose the current settings, although I said the aim would be match settings, match settings actually include things like 3d spotting on. I went for everything hardcore except damage to try and keep everyone happy, but it’s clearly not working. The issue is not that we’re not showing up, it’s that we’re showing up on the least searched list on battlelog, custom settings. As a rough estimate, based on servers out there, 25% are hardcore, 75% normal, with virtually nothing in between, in terms if populated servers. This is the same problem we’ve had before, we have something we all like, but it’s not visible enough.
There are several things we can try before resorting to a decision between two extremes which will only divide the playerbase. The first i’ll do tonight, and retick each option to see whether we can leave any off and still show up under normal. If we need everything on, then we can try individual options each night and assess the results. We could also petition via the get satisfaction forums and make an argument that high ticket and modified vehicle spawn timers deserve to be listed under the custom bracket in battlelog, or that at least they could remove the search category and and allow custom servers to show up on normal or hc search lists….this is of course a long shot but the feedback may have an affect on bf4 if we can drum up support. It may also advertise what we’re trying to achieve.
It normally comes without cables turks because you’ll already have them in your case usually. You may need a SATA cable I suppose, but for power just look inside for what will fit the connector – wiring a PC is like a jigsaw puzzle, whatever fits is right. If you have another HD, nick it’s SATA cable so you can get started. Check your motherboard box or whatever you got from the PC manufacturer to see if you’ve any other spare SATA cables but if not, they’re not expensive.

Max, what do you need to set up channel permissions for others on the xdc channel? We can then start linking everyone.
Max?
