Wrong. A couple notes: Fighters beat lrms, not bombers. You won't have flak researched by the time sova hits, nor will you have hangers (and hangers without flak are useless since the sova fighters will kill them all). There's multiple counters. Let me give the easy one first: Radiance counters embargo flat. If you suspect the Tec of embargo rushing you and you're Advent, just take the Radiance. If you're not Advent, the easiest thing to do is have y

Great patch.

Frogboy, I recognize those concerns. At the same time, it completely ignores what the OP is stating. I personally find all the whining distasteful. I never post bug threads or anything of the sort. Frankly, stardock has been terrific on their customer support. What the OP was addressing was how the majority of posts (from different people) on the issue of GAME BALANCE can be safely ignored. I don't make repeat posts on anything if I can avoid it, I don't endlessly whine abo

Yeah I agree with the forum OP (why not? lol) As far as Blizzard goes, they EMPLOY (read, pay a lot of money) progamers (Koreans ONLY) to balance their games. As in, ex-professional gamers who used to spend 18 hours a day playing SC 1 at the highest level are now the official word for balance in SC2. There goes that argument. But Blizzard isn't a big or important company in RTS right? SC is such a horribly balanced game. Let's NOT listen to the best players. Whoever brought up Sta

I would love to pay for additional content, but it has to actually be content. For instance, planetary invasions, significant new planet types, vastly expanded tech trees (to name a few ideas). I would pay for that, but not for: Christmas map with enhanced AI and red/green colors everywhere Easter eggs consisting of voiceovers by (washed up movie star here) in some stupid mission A campaign of any sort However, I realize there is somewhat of a divide

I can't play this week. Next weekend works best for us (nighttime).

Clan X stands ready! ;) Seriously though sounds like fun! What would the prize fund be?

To all the PRO Advent players. I'm a poor newb who wants to learn how to beat Tec with Advent. Please teach me via 1v1s. We can post replays after so that the community can see how you beat Tec with Advent. It will be great. You can show me how awesome the illuminator counter is. How great and powerful drone carriers are against cobalts. Remember, I'm just a no-name scrub who sucks at Sins. You'll DEFINITELY win. Definitely.

I see A. but I don't see B. I see Bubb9 but I don't see a person with IQ > 10. But hey, I'm an open minded guy. Let play a 1v1 or 2v2 and post the replay up for all to see. If you beat me, I'm sure everyone will take your suggestions more seriously. But you won't beat me. You'll lose in some horribly epic manner, and everyone will laugh at you for the joke you are. Of course, this open challenge is to any of the various morons in the thread. Have a beef? Think yo

Same map is fine by me. As I said I don't care.

I don't care what map we use. Foreign invasion would make for a faster game, or even Razor's edge. I have homeworks due on Monday and Friday, so how's next Friday or next weekend? The later in the day the better.

You already lost horribly with your three best, abusing a broken tactic with 3 tec Sova rushing. We played like 2 practice games on entanglement, I exploded at you because your entire clan is incredibly good at dodging losses. But we'll keep those losses of yours posted. Because, when push comes to shove, you have NO replays of you winning vs any good clans. We have at least one game of us DESTROYING you. And whether or not you believe me is nonsense. You were arguing earli

Yes we are a nice teddy bear hugs and kisses clan. We mainly sit around and circle jerk to how great GE is. I know for a fact one of our members stalks GE like a pathetic groupie fangirl. Primarily, we spend our time doing 3v3 comp stomps on easy difficulty huge maps. First we all build Akkans, then we build trade ports and LRMs, add flaks, and hope that the computer resigns. When it fails to resign, we ragequit or minidump the AI. It's hard to minidump AI but it's doable.

Who the hell are you? What basis do you have for your statements? You come off as arrogant, but I don't even know who you are. Who have YOU beaten? What clans have YOU played and defeated? Who are your AWESOME training partners that verify your theories? You just make general claims with little or no evidence. Sweeping statements are worthless. Yes scouting is important. Yes RA leaves your economy in shambles. These are points of contenti

Currently, illuminators counter nothing. Not cobalts, not anything. Their anti-cap damage has no bonus vs anything at all. They're also tier 3, incredibly expensive, etc. etc. I'm not trying to diss you, but you really don't have a clue what you're talking about. If you think Vasari somehow do better in 1.03 than Advent, you're also not correct due to the lack of defense vessels. Right now, Tec LRM spam is the dominant strategy.

Advent doesn't have an economy per se. When you say that you're "saccing" economy, you're assuming that Advent needs a high economy. The truth is, Advent needs high TECH. As long as Advent has a high tech level, they can do some serious damage. Further, Advent cannot really "keep Tec on their heels." The best you can hope for is a stalemate where you're slowly losing but teching up toward better units. Even if you go defense vessels, you can only force the Tec player to run

Ugh. Where to begin. Before I go any further, I would like to direct the players to at least glance over my build order and strategy guide, to get a feel for the game. Let's start on Advent Econ and Rushing. Advent is a weird race. Their primary advantage is high quality units with synergy. Their disadvantage is a lower eco than Tec, problems with Capital survivability, problems with FFing enemy capitals, and problems with surviving early game. Clarificatio

The Sova was cosmetic. I could have easily won with any other Tec capital ship. A battle of lrms vs seekers in the middle of nowhere is pretty stupid. The LRMs should never spend their time FIGHTING the seekers. Just kill everything else.

Game finished. Seekers don't cut it. http://rapidshare.com/files/103825278/seekers_suck.record.html He killed 1 lrm I was too lazy to micro away since he had already lost everything. I killed his whole fleet ^^

It doesn't work. It's funny when 40 seekers blow up a cap ship, but the fact that martyrdom is affected by shield mitigation makes it less efficient than you would like. Unfortunately, seekers are 200, and LRms are 245. True, LRMs cost metal and crystal. But if you're spamming seekers, you have excess metal and crystal, which sell for not a whole lot on the market. Which means that you are simply using your resources less efficiently. Efficiency wise, it's closer to 1.6-2 s

This post is so completely wrong. Raze planet is not bad at all. Some of my friends go so far as to say it's one of the top skills in the game (along with Malice, shield regen, AM burn, etc.) It's 2,4,6 bursts of 80 damage. Considering an asteroid only has 1000 hp, it's pretty useful. Gauss is incredibly good only if you micro it. You have to gauss targets at 15% mitigation, THEN focus fire it (800 damage for 75 mana? Count me in). Leaving it on autocast is just lazy. Fu

You guys need to communicate better... We already set the match for this Wednesday at 7:30 Eastern. It was announced in the forums as well, I'd assumed that Para told you guys about it. I hope to see you there.

Sarcasm is wasted on idiots. Let's post some items with quotes, and then analyze whether or not the statement was sarcastic. Beginning.... now! Quote #1: "Yo are we "community recognized" yet?" Notice the quotations around community recognized. The post was a BAIT. Which you then took by: Quote #2 (you): Again, old thread with no action, no attempts to recruit, and neither I nor anyone I've asked has seen you online. So, neither you, nor yo

I have to say: Ron Lugge, Psyy, you two are pathetic. Man up. Compared to Paradoxant, whose first response was to schedule a new match, you're just miserable little worms. Your first response is to make ridiculous excuses, trying to hide how pathetic you both are. Lugge, your whole "threads of Sin" stuff is nonsensical. Nobody cares whether or not you recognize them as a clan, and nobody knows who are you outside of your tiny little community. Psyy is just a forum troll wh
