Official AoE4 First Impressions Thread

[iNcog]

I just lost a game and I want to look at the replay but it's not showing up in the stats, the match that should be the one that I lost takes me to a completely unrelated game that I won when I click on it. Any way for me to view the correct replay or do I just not get to look at it?

restarting the game helps. it's highly annoying and I've run into this as well. wish replays would be saved offline and files could be shared

lots of retarded stuff with aoe4 tbh

So I used Nvidia Sharpening after several ppl including Drongo suggested it.
Now the game looks way too crisp and argh... extremely weird!

Idk if it has something to do with my small screen (24") but this looks horrible.
Someone in a magazine said that the game tries to make its background look like a pastel drawing.. I think this is why I despiese the artstyle.

Let's not start talking about the unit models which have less polygons than I have IQ.

I have now played 10 games and like it a bit more than The first impression. I think what annoys me The most are The hotkeys.....

There has to be a subliminal message in here somewhere with all of The interesting capitalization choices.

[Mitoe]

Everyone knows "The" is a proper noun, come on zuta.

[Victor_swe]

Hahaha autocorrect way ahead of zuta

Who is currently performing well on AoE4? Any impressions from streams etc.?

How do aoe2 pros do vs. aoe3, SC2 pros etc.?

[Goodspeed]

It's hard to tell because we don't know how much everyone has played

[ǝɯɐuɹǝsn]

aoe 4 = aoe 2², I don't see how you can switch from aoe 3 to aoe 4 if you didn't enjoy the 2 instead of the 3

[Goodspeed]

Have you played AoE2? They're very different games.

[fightinfrenchman]

aoe 4 = aoe 2²

Hmm... this seems to check out

[ǝɯɐuɹǝsn]

but they acted like aoe 3 never existed, it's more a game who follow aoe 2 than aoe 3, so yes it's kinda different than aoe 2, because 22 years are between them, this is the difference

[Garja]

From what I've sen it is basically aoeo with some elements from all previous aoe. Not too much from aoe3 I guess

[n0el]

Ya, its AoEO2:DE

[knusch]

does it make a difference what stance pikes r in?

[Victor_swe]

i just played a map were u start at different island. my new impression is that this game sucks

[Goodspeed]

Just alt f4 when you get a water map tbh

So let me make a prediction: The ranked system that we will get will be more sophisticated than just a Ranked Elo plus a leaderboard ingame.

We will get ranked seasons with ranked rewards plus a rating system based on (military) ranks or gems (bronze-Diamond, etc.).
I don't know why but I don't think this will just be a simple ELO ladder.

Ranked seasons were already confirmed in pre-release interviews
Don't know anything about rewards, but it was said balance patches will roll out so that each season has its own meta.

Fully customizable ones? Not for free.
They will add a MTX later for "competitive 1337 players" and ppl who want that kind of stuff (and more detailed statistics) will have to pay a monthly fee.
CS:GO did that recently. Moar statistics for 0.85€ a month.
