Re: ESOC and Racism
I feel like this quote is kinda hard to misinterpret... Cultures are naturally mutually exclusive, they exist by being different and exclusive and by seeing each other as separate and different. But you want to blend them all into your melting pot and turn everything into this homogenised, moralisti...

Re: ESOC and Racism
You are seeing this from your American perspective. You guys just don't have a culture anymore and just blended everything into this amorphous thing. And you forgot that cultures have always had their own ways of building stereotypes about other cultures, many of them "offensive". It's pa...

Re: ESOC and Racism
Fair enough. I would like to give Ivan a chance in a week to get back on the forums and contribute. It wouldn't be the first time we have to ban someone and after their return they don't cross the line again. If you don't want to give him that chance, that's a fair point, we can agree to disagree. ...

Re: ESOC and Racism
The Age of Empires forum policy allows moderators to skip warning points for severe offences. Is there any doubt that if Ivan had said the same things on the official forum, he would have been permabanned? There are still plenty of places on the internet you can be a racist troll, there is no reason...

Re: Elifant in the room: the role and future of ESOC Patch on DE
Honestly, The ESOC patch is dead anyways. It's mostly used for tournaments. It's stupid to use a patch for tourneys that most people don't even play. For the sake of not splitting the communities, we should stick to the definitive edition. Even when the balance was terrible, the best people emerged...

Re: ESOC and Racism
I looked back through some of the threads where this started and I think I was the first person to use the word "racism." So I guess @Garja can blame me for all the wasted time lol.

Re: China is lame?
At least 60% of the people who complain about China are Japan lamers that's for sure. What makes China "lame" is that in most games they just do 1-2 things (FF or old han FI), and they either win super hard or lose super hard depending on civ matchup (obviously this is oversimplifying), so...

Viewership will be on DE for the same reason no one watches WOL. Viewership is on the EP while people play on the RE though, so I don't get your point. No one watches WOL because noone cares about WOL lol. People will play DE, they will want to see Inca and Sweden in games, they will want to learn ...

Re: Elifant in the room: the role and future of ESOC Patch on DE
Isn't it safe to assume that when microsoft finish supporting DE there will still be glaring balance issues? Then could we support a fan patch for DE? Ye, if balance is shit top players will definitely stay on EP. I really doubt that. Viewership will be on DE, which is what funds tourney prizes, pl...

Re: Elifant in the room: the role and future of ESOC Patch on DE
IMO any DE fanpatch would have to be quite far down the road if at all. Even if DE isn't good, releasing a DE fanpatch would just split the community even more (RE holdouts, DE, DE fanpatch).

Re: Elifant in the room: the role and future of ESOC Patch on DE
EP will be dead Oct 15 2020. Maybe if DE didn't launch with additional content, just graphics and balance tweaks like we thought after the first round of Beta, there would have been a chance for some EP staying power, but with so much new content in DE I think that's it for EP. The player population...

Re: Do you care about the change of american civilization?
If it is really a slur, I didn't know that and didn't want to sound offensive by saying it. A funny thing about English is that most diminutive terms are slurs unless the diminutive is of a majority white group (ie British -> Brits, Australian -> Aussie). Diminuitives convey a lack of respect, whic...

Re: Aoe3 DE Gameplay Interview
If the Native American consultants cared enough to say it should be changed, then someone cares about it. Also, again it's their history, so on that point you don't really get a say. I don't get a say on their history, agreed. However, I get a say on age of empires 3 and changing the gameplay becau...
