Re: Someone should take responsibility to this.

Someone should take responsibility to this. I am not at 100% that it is really DE to blame for data loss (more like 98%), but I also don't want to find out on my own PC. 98 is pretty high, and yeah it seems quite clearly connected to DE considering the number of reports combined with their general ...

Re: Someone should take responsibility to this.

The way that I see it, we were always going to go back to the same small player base that we had post 2008. AOE 3 will just never be able to compete as long as AOE 2 is around. All DE does is refresh the game, give us new civs, official balance changes and better graphics, which Ill take to keep th...

Re: Someone should take responsibility to this.

I doubt the developers decide when the game has to be launched. If you look at the release date it was set up to more or less match the original 2005 release. Anyway, modding of any kind is currently dead for DE. The player base can’t fix the game to make it more enjoyable for the players if there’...

Re: Someone should take responsibility to this.

They rushed it. They didn't listen.
They did the same with Aoe 2 de. Told them to wait there post got like 70 likes till they deleted it. They thought Age 3 community would be as forgiving as Age 2 de community.
At least they had some passion for Age 2. Age 3 is just a side project.

With the release of DE and a bunch of old players returning it might be time for creating a list of the best players of all time again. My list: 1. Iamgrunt. When he played he dominated everyone. The only player you could call a professional making over 100k with Age of Empires tournaments. 2. H2O. ...

Re: If Garja is Right is this Bad?

Honestly, what esoc did wrong was shifting the game towards III and only towards III. It just made the game boring. Patches should shift the game into different directions. So one patch should make III lame one should make II lame again and then maybe one IV. There's no need for perfect balance and ...

DE Civ tier team

People only ever talk about 1v1 tier civs. I think team behaves rather differently because it's impossible to stop at least one player from scaling. For example, Germans just don't scale well in team games but they are very good at 1v1. Changes to a civ should always address team balance and 1v1 bal...

Re: DE ranked team lobbies (1v1 aswell?)

Yes adding an unranked rank would be nice. Instead of a number, I'd prefer an approximate though. So if your rank is top 1-20 you are tier 1 if your rank is top 20-40 you are tier 2 and so forth. The tiers should be bigger the lower you go this will help the top players finding a fair matchup while ...

Re: Using mods in ranked

Is that any different from verifying the game files the way EP cheat detection used to do? In both cases it seems like the end result is that you can't use mods for competitive play. They do offer mod support for single player and casual multiplayer, which I'm guessing is somewhere around 80% of th...
