Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Finally being able to talk about the game will be nice.Unlike the Age IV Closed Beta, we will not be enforcing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) during the Technical Stress Test. We want to encourage you to play as much as possible and reduce the steps you need to take to join us. We also want to make sure youâre able to invite and play with your friends during this window of time.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
I will play it tomorrow but just watching streams tonight after footy and eating dinner, cant help but feel the 'magic' i felt when i first played in the beta is just not there. I remember appreciating aoe3 more after that aswell
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
I gotta go out so I can't play but I loaded the game vs an AI and clicked around a bit. I think I'm cautiously optimistic that the game feels better than it did before.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
I can't help myself but this reminds me of AOE:O and I don't get why would you go in the same direction once again.
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Canât even play the game with these hotkeys. People have been telling them for years that things shouldnât go like this, and yet nothing changed.

wait is the hotkey thing a long time issue?gibson wrote:Canât even play the game with these hotkeys. People have been telling them for years that things shouldnât go like this, and yet nothing changed.
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Is it me or is aoe4 just another aoe2 remake with ageup choices from aoe3? I didn't detect any new gameplay... , Just same old with new graphics.
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Hm, the game looks good and all, but I have a lot of troubles with hotkeys and selections too, maybe it's just not what I'm used too, like it seems not being able to have the same hotkey for different things.
And is it me or we can't change anything about the hotkeys ? Like basically attack move ?
I've tasked something else on Q and now I can't AM anymore.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Can someone tell me what is up with the off putting holograms when making a building? Why does it have to look like this? Seems like they designed the game to be played by kids, also the highlight when right clicking is so big its disturbing.
All in all pretty dissapointed, will be staying at AOE 3 100%

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
the ui is pretty crappy for me tbh ngl ( no score, challenge on top left for some reason, no image for technology (they all look the same), we do not see enough the stats of the units aswell, big windows on top right for some reason )

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Using hotkeys is for low energy sub-60 IQ noobs that can't output enough energy or skill for fast and accurate mouse movements
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Civs are way more unique, you can trade in 1v1 so gold doesnt run out that quickly and overall there's more on the map, quick walling doesn't exist as much I'd say.bart331 wrote:Is it me or is aoe4 just another aoe2 remake with ageup choices from aoe3?

It's obviously more similar to aoe2, but it also ahs aoe3 elements.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Hotkey is the biggest issu, i like the UI and iam 100% agree with not showing the score.
A wayyyyyy better than previous beta.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
It's better than I expected. The map graphics look pretty good, though the game overall has a 0AD unpolished feel to it. It's obviously unfinished.
Can't expect normal functions, so didn't even try to use hotkeys.
It's AOE2 with updated graphics. I don't see any AOE3 elements in it.
The UI is rough and kinda primitive, but it has some nice graphic effects.
It might be a decent game in a year or two but it's AOE2.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Every aoe3 player said it's aoe2 and every aoe2 player are complaining about how different aoe4 is from their game lol.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
the micro of unit seems very very different ( arrows don't miss their target ), age up just completely different, ui minimap, all these things are completely different compared to aoe2 and maybe i miss some
Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
AOE2-ers are probly complaining it doesn't feel 100% like their old game.
But it has cav scouts, you rely on sheep in age1 to get food right away, cheap farms in age1, wood plays a big role in everything because you need to have a building for everything, dropoff gathering points, you can build barracks in age1, there are no hunts next to TC and hunts are very sparse and far just like in AOE2, so you have to send the scout to get sheep, etc. All these are AOE2 mechanics. The TC also shoots arrows even if there are no garrisoned vills.

Re: Stress Test open Beta Aoe4
Yes, this has been an issue for literally years and the plan was always for it to be like this on release in regards to hotkeys, from what I saw.Garja wrote:wait is the hotkey thing a long time issue?gibson wrote:Canât even play the game with these hotkeys.
