[quote who="ViaRed" reply="1" id="3320481"]Wail and Maw both have a negative that balances them, If you haven't beaten either race by the time they have maw or a decent wail, you've been outplayed therefore deserving to lose. I'd hesitate the say the same for jumping sbs, they aren't invincible especially after the nerfs[/quote] Well that just seemed to be the consensus of the forum. I don't really care either way a
So one thing that seems to be missing is some organized tournaments. As such, I'm going to start hosting some tournaments through Challonge.Com and see how that goes. It's bound to be a bit rusty at first, but should improve over time. I wasn't sure if we should do regional tournaments or global, but I thought we'd start of global and see how many people sign-up. If a lot do then we can do regional. Signup Page: <a title="http://soase.challonge.
Seems like the abilities that should be heavily nerfed in the next patch then... [e digicons];)[/e]
I'd say you don't have to be at a high level to do ICO. However, be prepared to make your own games with beginner or intermediate in the title. Also, for FFA people usually don't care what your skill level is. I played with the steam group last Friday and that was a laid back fun game with beginner/intermediate skill level. We were all on Mumble as well, so talked about lessons learned at the end of the game.
AL can already takeover other types of ships, so this doesn't seem that radical to me. Yes, it's not the exact same, but not that far off. [e digicons];)[/e]
As a newcomer it's disturbing that large balanced discussions like this are even being had. I would have expected that all sub-factions to be balanced enough to be viable in multiplayer. Banning a sub-faction is the wrong decision. Balancing properly is the solution.
Oh, i see. So it's the duration of the cost reduction buff. That makes sense. So what happens to the previous owner? Does he lose whatever he spent on planet upgrades?
[quote who="Turchany" reply="1" id="3318808"]Good idea but I think devs would have to change so many things for this.. so it is not likely to happen before Sins 2.. Think about this, adding new planets is impossible in a new patch (Yarlen told me in another thread), so would THIS be possible? I think not :/ It would need another expansion, not a patch I guess.[/quote] Well, if it's waiting until Sins 2 then it's probably not worth it. I'd prefer it not to happen, but
So, I'm a bit confused... as usual... what does the duration on Coronata's Repossession mean? does it go back to the original owners control after that time expires? If so, does that mean it's pointless to spend money on upgrades for it? Can you stop it switching back? Also, when how does it work with the previous owners upgrades? Do they get money back for them or do they remain "there" when it's returned? Etc. - <s
Ah, it's unfortunate you can't talk when paused. I haven't paused yet so didn't know. [e digicons]^_^[/e] Seems like being able to talk when paused would help with things like this though. I play DOTA2 where you can do that and people are more understanding when you can talk about it.
Did Champ come back? There are always asses, but it would have helped if he had said to all why he was pausing. Did the other two try to talk to you about what was going on before they unpaused?
Sorry, what's a red button range?
I'm no programmer, but after reading Frogboy's article on RTS's and talking about the difficulty being in unit rendering, it made me wonder if stacking units in SoaSE would help a lot. For example, instead of showing 100 corvettes, show 10 packs/squadrons of 10, just with visual indicators. When one of the units die, it becomes 9 packs of 10 and 9 units. I know it wouldn't be graphically as impressive, but if it helped with the lag in big battles and general
Does this mean they need to be adjusted to be more viable? Or is it just a matter of strategic preference?
I'm fairly new to SOASE, but in the games I've watched and played, I hardly ever see cruisers used. Mostly, it's frigates, esp. corvettes, capital ships, and titans. Are cruisers that bad/inefficient that no-one wants to use them? Or are they used a lot and I've just been unlucky in not seeing people use them?
I disagree. I bet there's quite a lot of people that gave online a chance, got frustrated, and don't bother anymore. Don't take these sorts of things for granted. The online competitive community is quite demanding about having a good infrastructure in place. I've heard that online figures were quite high when Rebellion came out and then went drastically down. This is a sign of people trying to give it another chance and then giving up on it again
I think if this game had matchmaking and all the bells and whistles like rejoining, then people would stop saying it's mainly for single player. It's a wonderful online competitive game, just needs a more robust infrastructure in place to manage it.
Yes, plenty of other online multiplayer games have rejoin functionality, which is why I was surprised it's not here when the games are much longer than the average multiplayer game.
So I've only played two games online so far, but on the second one the game crashed. I tried to find a way to rejoin the game, but there didn't seem to be one. I searched the forums here and saw some threads about a rejoin being petitioned for back in June/July last year. However, I didn't see any recent threads about it, so wasn't sure if it had changed. Is there a rejoin function? If not, is there a reason why? Is there a way to tell
I'm new around here and have seen three different abbreviations for the game so far. Before I start using one of them, which one is the most accepted one? 1. Sins 2. SoaSE 3. SOSE 4. Something Else? From what I can tell, a lot of people use Sins, but the developers use SoaSE? I know they are using SoaDA for Sins of a Dark Age. Thanks. -slowreflex
I just bought and installed the game yesterday and would love some help from a mentor. I've gone through all the tutorials, messed around a bit in a test game, and have started watching some guides on YouTube. However, some things are still not clicking. Favorite race (if you have one) - Don't have one yet. Still playing random. Your playstyle (Would you describe yourself as passive, aggressive, or some combination there of?) - I would adjust
