Old Players returning speculation thread

Post by TNT333 »

With the release of DE I'm sure many old school Aoe3 pros have returned to take up the mouse and keyboard again, so this is a thread where we can discuss if you have seen any of them.

This is very likely because he is the same steam user than the one on aoe2 who played some months ago and get it to the top80 in no time and i dont think there is many koreans being expert in aoe2 and half decent in aoe3 after a very very long period of inactivity.

Ye it sounds likely to me but some people like Samwise don't believe it at all "if you knew grunt, you'd know it isn't him".
I agree with Sam that he'd probably try to smurf but he can't quite do that since it would change his aoe2 nickname as well.

It has plenty of playability problems that are not related to performance.

Its not fine. I could play on decent graphics in tad. Now i have graphics that looks like its from 1995 and it still lags. I would imagine they had improved stuff The last 15 years not make it worse.
Also even if i had a supercomputer i dont see how this is any improvement from playing EP.
Eso is so much better than this shit menus. Even with ftj.
Cant we all just keep playing ep now that its finally pretty good balance?
Im so fkin dissapointed with DE.
It doesnt help that u can play as sweden, they are super booring.
Also The swedish piki sounds like he has some serious issues.... Cant deal with that.

@Victor_swe I agree that it's bad, but I don't see that people will stay on EP.

Ye, would be cool if we all came back to EP but that's not going to happen I'd imagine.

I hope to be able to play a good game in a maximum of 6 months .. they released totally shit, but if you can play without lag fps, it's all right for now..

the saddest thing of all is that we can lose many players in the process

Just relax and wait a couple of months till there are some fixes plus good mods which also fix problems. It's kinda sad if we lose players like challe because they didn't do it proper on launch; however, they should try it again in 3 to 6 months.
