Re: Case to unban Tit and Kynesie

It should happen. There are only 2 outcomes and both are good. Either :ear: is a good mod, or we get a highly entertaining week of controversy as people take issue with his modding ability. It's win win. I admit, watching Ear and [mention]u55[/mention] go at it in the staff discord would be quite a...

Re: Skins/emotes

1. AoEO and AoE: Castle Siege were bad games by them self without emotes and skins, no amount of in game purchases was going to save them. I disagree, AoEO was pretty much your standard Age game. The thing that tanked it was the micro transactions -- the game forced you to choose between grinding f...

Re: Skins/emotes

Seems like they could just add a separate menu option for purchasable skins end emotes. I mean they can't just release this in 2020 without anything to appease people in the 10-20 age bracket. Without them this thing will die out imo. Think of it this way, we like to use "taunts" in game....

Re: Skins/emotes

Why can't they be implemented?? They're actually releasing a new definitive edition right now with new civs and maps. Perhaps skins, emotes and loot crates as well. I'm not an expert on this stuff but afaik the changes they've implemented are purely aesthetic, i.e. the base code of the game hasn't ...

Re: Case to unban Tit and Kynesie

Lifting their ban early when they haven't done anything to earn it would send the message that you can get away with anything if you are highly-ranked/entertaining enough, which will in turn encourage more bad behavior in addition to being fundamentally unfair. A 2 year ban means a 2 year ban, end o...

Re: AOE2 style wonders

I'm pretty sure the wonder mechanic in AoE2 was the inspiration for trade monopoly. I actually think TM is better, because it forces you to control the map instead of building a wonder in the corner and camping with a million layers of wall.

ESOC Players League. It was a sports-themed event where players who signed up for a tournament were "drafted" by a number of different teams, who then competed against each other.

Since the queen is the strongest unit, it should be a fully upgraded gendarme or perhaps a hatamoto samurai.

The thing is this offended by words thing is getting out of hand.

I agree that the ban approach isn't very effective but what kind of hitting back do you propose? Ddosing him? I mean realistically there is no hitting back option.

Re: Skins/emotes

I think customizable uniforms and architecture types would be cool. Alas, I doubt the primitive AoE3 software would be able to handle that. :sad:

Obviously loot crates and any other pay to win features are a huge no regardless of whether they're feasible or not.

Since DE is primarily a revamp of an existing game, I doubt they'll make any changes that are all that groundbreaking (aside from adding the new civs of course). But if they were to do so, I think making it cheaper/faster to go to Age 4 would be a cool addition. It's a very fun age in terms of units...
