Because legacy is way worse than DE. Anyone who says otherwise is either salty they can't run DE or an Idiot.
Sorry but I can't take that opinion seriously :lol:

It's not, AOE3 legacy with EP is still much better than that "Definitive" edition.

Ngl, from what I've read about DE balance and the new civs combined with QS-only matchmaking I'd probably agree

balance in matchmaking isn't that bad, and considering that there is matchmaking even if the balance was worse it would still be better

The AOE3 engine is not even able to use all the computer resources optimally.
I've just built a new PC with latest generation specs and AOE3 still crashes after some time if I try to play an 1v7 comp stomp on expert. It says not enough memory allocation. And I have top 32GB RAM from GSkill. The game was just written to work on old comps, so you don't need to have the latest hardware to play it.

It's not about matchmaking balance. Automatic matchmaking is itself not preferable in a game as unbalanced as this. I would want to be able to opt out of playing against certain civs on certain maps.

its not as unbalanced as the tournament suggests, and even if it were I would still rather play that than EP where there is no matchmaking at all, no player base at the times i play and being forced to play fixed matchups from a lobby.

yeah it sucks to get a sweden match up or a bad map (tired of new england). that said lobby match making wasn't fun when you would get kicked for being low or couldn't agree to a match up. like, join a lobby and you have to play otto, ugh. but with matchmaking you just don't think about it, get your map and do your best.

it's a balance. not sure what is best

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Yea same civ balance on de is way worse than ep. Obviously the graphics and the gameplay are another story though

That peak was before DE, it was in April 2020. I think that was just when a big part of the world was under lockdown
yeah idk if the guys was talking about the peak of the big lockdown of april 2020, but personnally for my post i was talking about april 2021, before april eso was still at 1000+ pop the week end, now we not even reach 500

Well, there's like the same game with more content and better graphics calling itself the definitiv edition, so of course the original game loose its players. ^^

Lobbies is like the only real thing being better in legacy.

Might be a difference between EU/NA. I believe ESO was quite desolate at prima NA time. Most of the community seemed to center on prime EU time. I know I never tried to play in the EU morning either, servers have been dead at those times for maybe a decade.

So maybe you perceive the forced ladder more positively than EU players because of differences in what ESO is like depending on your preferred time to play.

What's the difference ? Currently you can't know if people are online, in game or not...

If there's few players online, aren't lobbies way better ?
How do you find a game today, if there's 6 players at all at your rank, but 1 is searching 1v1, 2 are searching 2v2 and 3 are searching 3v3 ? With lobbies people of the same lvl just regrup....

I can know if my friends are online. There's not few players online, there were much fewer players online in RE/EP and RE was objectively better for me. DE is significantly better because the balance is better and the maps don't spawn without resources.

There are like no bugs anymore. I swear people still think this is the same game as the launch version and they just repeat the same endless bullshit over and over...

Forced ladder is significantly better for lots of reason, but that is one of them.

Yup, I agree DE is a better game than legacy, but I really hope for lobbies someday. Like man, IDK, It just seem I queue forever, I swear I had game faster on nilla when we were like 20 pr30+ at the end.
