Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2

If 100+ people are trying to piss you off, you gotta rethink what is it that you are writing.

Thinking that they are "pissing me off" is a fallacy I think. I'm just not interested in what they write and don't want to passively read over their stuff. So I decided to block those people rigorously and to be honest Aoezone has become much more readable since then. Can definitely recommend. Sometimes I click on "Show ignored content". Without all those comments it's like a totally different place where the sun still shines.

I don‘t fully understand why people (especially the ones leaving the game) often call aoe4 „unfinished“ instead of just saying that it is a bad game with horrible mechanics, lousy balance and no future whatsoever.

calling it „unfinished“ implies that all its flaws will be resolved in the foreseeable, which is a naive and totally unrealistic view

One thing I can admit is that my feeling is that this thread in particular seems to attract some shady gestalts with absurd comments whose probably smallest problem in life is that AoE4 has been released.

it is a good time management practice to start solving the smallest problems first

How could aoezone be considered more readable if you now can't even read over half the posts? please click show ignored content just this once senpaisan

Which state of grief is this ?

r/aoe4 - Could we ban posts that just fixate on viewer/player numbers or prophecies of doom?

People like you were posting them as some from of aoe4 hate. Just like mods on r/aoe2 removed aoe2 vs aoe4 comparisons as there was no good intentions to post them (like many posts here)

A few? My ignore list has more than 120 members ... can't be just a few to be fair.

simonsan friend list:

Nili_Aoe (hasn't responded to your friendship request yet)

end of list.

Is it a charity? It is funny to seek for good and bad when someone simply posts a fact and comparison between two games based on numbers.

If your intention is to spread or justify your hate then no. That's why R/aoe2 mods removed such topics as OP intented to cause conflict between aoe2 and aoe4 and spread/increase hate towards aoe4

So declining player numbers for aoe4 (which is a fact) is posting hate ?

Have we come that far that posting facts can be declared as "hate" (and subsequently deleted) once you dont like these facts?

I am very glad that on Aoezone we still have free speech. This should be the case on every forum imo (sadly is isnt apparently)

Posting a statistical fact and comparison about two event is spreading hate. I wish I knew that when I was writing my phD. God dammit, life would be so easier.

What about reaching a conclusion by using them? Genocide? Please tell me it is.

If you your purpose is to spread your hate then yes. This thread has many people who hate aoe4 for being aoe4 and not aoe2, there is no way aoe4 can have anything good or have anyany willingly playing it in their mind. Just like these people were vocally trying claim streamers must being paid by MS to play "such bad game" .

you want to create conflict between aoe2 and aoe4 rather than present graphs objectively as informal. There is bad faith in doings

 

[oozkan]

What if graphs are suggesting a conflict? Asking for pure scientific reasons. As I said, I will use this insight in my next article.

To be honest, I think it's totally fine.
BUT: You can never calculate with the stupidity of people that stir up hate about this issue.

I think player numbers and/or viewer numbers are indeed interesting to compare.

Talking about bugs in the game should be completely fine in general and to exchange views on them.

and so on.

It's essentially not the topics, it's the toxic people. But people emotionally invested into the game don't have it that easy to ignore the troublemakers. :/

read @simonsan post and relook this 37 page discussion. Is this purely comparison/ discussion thread or is there aspects of hating aoe4 and try to create conflict between two games?

Well I can say that you are hating AOE2 with same reasoning... but it is always AOE4 guys who are coming up with this "hate" word, trying to create victimization. We were talking about fact and numbers and how they spread hate. Now we switched to 37 page of discussion. I was more interested in other part. Unlucky.

back on my papas farm, I remember every morning we would wake up and go to the chicken hens. We would always find beautiful white eggs, but there was always one dirty brown egg.
do you know what we did with the brown egg? we smashed that egg on the ground.

Your a bad egg
(im joking by the way, I laughed out loud at your post)

 

[JUDAS]

Well I am glad that I used the almost free gamepass to play some AoE4, I just saved U$59. I think what keeps that game with some life is the effort of private organizations like EGCTV, and some RTS Celebrities streaming, but MS made a big mistake releasing the game in such a bad state. The expectations inside the AoE2 community were very high, it is a pity than MS didnt deliver.

 

[Dusk2Dawn]

Hera is so deep into aoe4 that he lost the touch with reality. He went down the rabbit hole, praised aoe4 too prematurely and concluded he achieved everything in aoe2 so he is done with it. He has no where to go back to.

Do you think about 30-40 days of subathon on aoe2 will not work? do you think the bros and dudes will not want to be part of the subbed group?

Ohh yeah the stupidity of human civilization

 

[doacid]

How bitter and resentful do you have to be to shame those who sub to Twitch streamers and pros? I'd say about the same than shaming streamers for the game they stream.

Reading Aoezone is like a crash course on parasocial relationships.

By the way, very interesting post from Robo regarding the present situation of both games:

TL; DR Number of multiplayers seem to be roughly equal for both games, while AoE 2 seems to have a larger base of single players
