- Laying barbed wire should be fixed and back to how it was in vanilla CoH.
- Fixed the minimap so that it is not mis-aligned.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the British from acquiring resources properly if the HQ truck was moved.

- Fixed AI unit production limit so that certain units won’t be built more than specified amount.
- Added additional unit demand multiplier, which lowers production demand if AI player has the same unit already.

Bug Fixes

- Removed phantom Vet 2 and Vet 3 upgrades on Panzer Elite Jagdpanther and Hetzer.
- Fixed Panzer Elite Incendiary Mortar weapon causing constant engine criticals
- Panzer Elite Light AT halftrack modifier set correctly for cooldown modifiers (was enable 2.5, is now multiply 1.5)

No map changes made it in to the final. That's too bad, there's a number of maps that will quickly be deemed unplayable for 2v2 AT. The British HQ move breaks maps that are too focused on one area.

no, it's not 30 seconds earlier then before. It is 90 seconds minus 30 at vet three, or 60 seconds, which is exactly the same thing as it used to be.

It looks like all of the 2.317 changes were left out of this changelog. Hopefully it's just a mistake, as they were all good changes.

No discussion of balance is allowed in this thread.

If you wish to discuss balance you may post in the balance forum after you have had some experience with the changes.

I wonder why 2.317 was excluded...unless they just forgot to include it in the changelog. Can someone from Relic confirm this?

Hmmmm, need a bit of clarification please.

Does this patch also coincide with everybody being switched over to the new reliable server?

Or is still going to be just there for further tesing.



Patch looks good, Bren Carrier gets quite a buff. But it did need it. (This is coming from someone who's never played Beta, couldn't get it to install properly.)

Not that it has been under a very heavy load, of course.

Let's hope it can keep up with real demand just as well.

Okay, wow, awesome! I hadn't been paying too much attention to the CoH forums or the game itself since that nasty bad patch fiasco.

A lot of the changes I'd been hoping for but never actually said anything about are in this list! Panther is cheaper, and has a longer-range gun! Defensive doctrine buffed! In fact possibly way too many Wehrmacht buffs! But who cares? In one week I'll be playing CoH again!

Perhaps they starting QA before implementing 2.317.

@bottenbreker: You can't say is fixed, cause to the lousy number of participants! The server was never under full load!

I dont get this. Surely the crew are the ones that gain VET. Not the weapon. How can a inanimate weapon get better than it already is???

These are BAD IMO:

- Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite Panzerschreck accuracy at short and medium ranges increased.
-Panzer Elite AT halftrack Treadbreaker ability had its range increassed from 32 to 42
- US Supply Drop reduced in cost from 200mp to 100mp.
- Panzer Elite 222 Armoured Car gets 30 health bonus when receiving any first level veterancy.
- Wehrmacht Veteran tank top mounted MG does less damage.
- Wehrmacht Stug IV main gun accuracy reduced vs tp_infantry_soldier target type (British Infantry).
- British Vickers HMG emplacement sight radius increased by 5m.

This one's the best IMO:

- StuH 105mm does more damage to hedgerows.

I still say its better to have UNIVERSAL DAMAGE applied to all weapons and units, rather than having X-unit/weapon do less damage to Y-race's units and a little more to Z-race's units. Anyways, I suppose an explanation could be applied, but it just makes it difficult to explain to yourself why that weapon doesn't kill a unit as well as you'd expect it to.

I hope these changes breathe new life into this game.

Good news, although if the QA testing is complete (as per buggo's patch status), why do we have to wait a whole week for the release?

who said q&a is done? no one, right.

it's not through q&a till it is released, they might make a hold one or two days before and twiddle their thumbs a bit or work on soulstorm patches or whatever , but they're not gonna let a week elapse in order to let you suffer, pal.

release imminent means nothing but it's going to be released somewhat around a given date, if they find something fucked up they're not gonna release it and release imminent is still valid.

Hi everyone,

The patch is still undergoing the QA process at THQ. Things are still well on track for the Tuesday release.

There will likely be undocumented changes as the change log is quite extensive. Some items in the beta were reverted as it was a test bed for game play changes. The patch was created post-2.317, so those changes (if they were accepted) will be in the patch on Tuesday.

Thanks,
mukkel

look:
1. You bought vet 3 for pios, mortars and mgs
2. You buy a mortar (Vet3)
3. It is killed
4. You recrute your mortar with VET 3 pios
5. Your new mortar has no vet and CANT GET VET!


As i recall the mortar gets the vet, but it is invisible.

If you recrew it with vet 0 volks, then the weapon has no vet.

All great, but as a Beta player I still have to wonder...

Why no AT buff for Stug?
Why no Jagdpather call in change?
Why are americans still benefiting from British resources in team games?

These were bruning questions that have been around for awhile. Some resolution might be nice.

Question for clarification.


Is this the new AC HP calc's now. 220(base) + 30(Vet1) x 1.15(Def. Vet) = 288HP's

The US M8 with a 50mun upgrade or "skirted" only has 300HP.

The M8's basic HP is 150. The M8 has more penetrating main cannon. The M8 can lay mines. The M8 is a US vehicle not a PE one.

or in other words you need at least 6-7 shots now (depending on dmg inflicted) to kill an ac. superb. meanwhile that ac retreats into the base gets repaired and kills your inf while your m8 gets an at grenade in his ass and a marder finishes him off.

Moon, did you even read the OP you responded to?

A "skirted M8 has 300HP!. Not "skirting" one makes them very fragile.

The term US M8 does not indicate a reference to PE as far as I know.

Unicous seems to have gotten the point. Yup, it is gonna be scary-ier

It's pretty clear from the list of changes that they've done a metric shit-ton of work on this patch. Let's give them a break for a minute or two.

Has this patch made any performance changes? A Finn told me that in the beta he noticed a big difference and overall the game ran a lot smoother then retail.

Just wondered if this was just his own lucky experience or did any of you others notice a change in performance with the beta too?
