I guess I just think starting a guide that's title seems to indicate it's teaching you how to play multiplayer by ignoring (his words) one of the largest sources of new players seems very odd. In my opinion, Voobly is the way to step up your online game and get better, but if you want to play...
Then rename it to a guide to competitive play, and if you wish, you can detail why Steam, Gameranger etc are not good for competitive play. You probably just need 1-2 sentences to explain this, (lack of rankings, etc) and instead focus on what you know, Voobly, with competitive play, explain...
In my opinion you should retitle this as a guide to competitive AOC, and probably even remove the section on GameRanger. If your guide is for someone to be competitive as fast as possible, I'm not sure even the biggest HD fanboy could argue that you should not start on Voobly.
If you're just...
but still, if the game goes OOS in 5 seconds, that is most likely something wrong with one of the players, or someone trolling you. Because you were able to play with 'almost the same guys on voobly' really means nothing, if someone has something modified it won't work without OOS, same with...
If you have OOS that early, you may have some kind of mod or other problem. I've played many games (Mostly 3v3/4v4 BF/Arena/Nomad etc), even on 4.2 rarely does it OOS, about the same as old AoC for me. I MIGHT be more common to OOS on 4.2, but I cannot tell for sure, out of about 20 games, one...
With the last patch, the mod manager, UTF-8, etc. The DRS files are difficult to mod, they are working on breaking them out into individual files. This allows you to have multiple mods without breaking things. I don't know what kind of mod community was around in 2000ish, but I suspect this...
Not true... The are many known issues in very popular software that cause crashes, etc. None of the known issues make the game unusable for me, none of the ones they listed even seem that serious to me. Does the game work well.. no, and yes I feel they made a huge mistake releasing it at the...
Several of the Known bugs are bugs that have been around since it was released on steam (restore not working and escaping out while joining the lobby were for sure), or added in one of the later patches, I'm not much into the editor to know if these issues have been there for awhile as well, but...
"Starting in June 2015, the compatibility patch also includes some files from patch 3.9 release of AoC HD in the compatibility patch to simplify installation. These files would've otherwise between available in steam through betas opt into Patch 3.9 feature"
Curious on that as well, it surprises me that the fps has anything to do with lag... Does that mean that AOC can only handle 10fps for some reason or another that everyone in the game will run at the same FPS? Or does it only relate to the packets over the network? (Ex: I know it's more...
I'm not defending the release of the patch, it shouldn't have been released quite yet. For me, initially it works just fine, but after 15 minutes or so problems really show, and it gets nearly unplayable... I just get so angry at my mouse, and have to slow myself down, which is frustrating...
I thought that was funny, surprised noone pointed it out, at least not that I saw. My guess is he saw people who mark with palisades and and assumed that's what they were doing? I think he does amazing videos, they are certainly fun to watch, and it's great he's willing to point out or correct...
I know several who cannot play on Voobly, but can play on Steam, it's pretty active, and as far as I understand, steam handles all the networking, so firewall issues should be less of an issue. You'd have to buy the game again though. Just a thought. It does go on sale for about $5 for most...
I play for fun, no interest in playing competitively so I guess I don't understand someone coming in wanting to play competitively, and getting put off by too many civs or whatever. I feel that around here, especially, there are several that focus too much on competition, that the casual...
+1
Anyways, I think that's very interesting. I'd agree, I often love the long games best. I can see many people don't want to commit to a game where they have no idea how long it will last, and where they're expected to stick through the entire game. As I get more busy especially, this gets...
This issue when entering commands too fast was a problem 2 years ago, (yeah, I have no idea how it went unnoticed) but was fixed shortly after release, what's the point of bringing it up today?
I don't think that tournament has anything to do with Zak, there's just postings on his forum about it, so you're still an ******* to zak 100% of the time... Try again :)
