Tossing some mud is good for the soul. My point is I literally couldn't play it as a kid online when it was in it's prime(because I didn't have internet access). Thanks to steam I can now. As an added bonus I found out about aoczone and voobly. Though i don't use voobly as my client I'm certainly glad it's out there!
What is the point right now on fighting HD vs Voobly? HD devs/Resonance, Zero will be for HD, Steam fanboys(players...) will be for HD, Voobly players will be for voobly, proffesional players will be for voobly. It hasn't changed 2years ago, it hasn't changed 1year ago, it won't change now. I think it would be more healthier for both communities were to completly seperate and ignore eachother. Don't talk in steam about voobly, don't talk about steam in voobly/aoczone. Both communities would be healthier if they ignored eachother. Now this is just creating uneeded war like Dota vs LoL. If players will be interested in improving in steam, they will find out about voobly themselves by searching information about tournaments, and voobly players knows about steam anyways.
wtf did i just write ignore me im drunk
Adding more civs is one of the worst things they can do for competitive play... so now someone buys and learns aoc, then learns the civs for AoF, then learns the balance changes for a balance patch, then learns the new civs for another expansion?
They'll be fun to mess around with and fun for people on single player etc. but still...
I really don't see any way this is bad for the competitive community. A new expansion is all good news in my opinion. Should be a lot of fun, and another expansion means there's more money put into the game, which is great as well.
tbh 2. If you upload a Viper vs Jordan game with the same title "Age of Empires II HD: I have no words for this game", I am pretty sure it would get as many views.I really don't see any way this is bad for the competitive community.

I agree, let's not forget that AoEHD has revitalized many peoples interest in AoE2 as a whole and has certainly brought many people back to the game as well as reached out to newer players too. More money spent on AoEHD simply increases the reach of AoE, and everybody benefits from that.
@Fall I imagine the expansion is aimed at the people who want to see things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Czb64v3WMY
Rather than people who are super serious about competitive play. That video is a bunch of noobs on AoEHD playing a fun setting yet that video has had over 130,000 views compared to any Expert game that I've uploaded since then which has had a max of 23,000 views. I think this tells us that the casual crowd is certainly the target audience and not the competitive one.
Not true all of the time although it is some of the time.I doubt that. Anything can happen in noob games. The same stuff always happens in pro games, even if it's done amazingly well.
You're right, I was being overly facetious. It isn't there *all* the time, just quite a bit of it. It can be great to watch the best players, to be amazed at their skill - but the "fun-ness" of average players is missing, you can get away with much more different strategies and unit usage than you can in higher-tier games.Not true all of the time although it is some of the time.I doubt that.
