the no move bug has only happened to me once and it was right after load up screen. Kind of sucks. But I got well over 400 games in, so I won't complain too bad.
One feature that would be great to have (and nothing new since you had it last patch) is for random to be only US/Wehr. If you want to take it up a notch, would be great to set it up, like you can your automatch preference. For instance, you want Auto to be US/WEHR/PE etc. with 1v1 and 2v2. |
yeah, sniper spam sucks, on either side. As wehr, at least you can build a goliath to get the sniper blobs. As US it's tough. The problem I'm having is the mid to late game transition to sniper spam where everything up to that point seems "normal". Let me explain.
I once lost a game to SlimShady. He went standard build order, like a VVMGS or something like that, blitz to get storm for temp AT then started spamming snipers. T3 eventually showed up with vetted stugs.
I had gone bars first, then m8. Early game was going my way. Then one sniper, then two. So i thought, ah lets go M8 now as has been recommended on this thread. M8 was fine until storm and stug show up. Ok, now I need AT gun. Except, AT gun goes down to one volley from 2 or 3 snipers. Too late now for 1 of my own sniper because 1 vs 3 is fail. M8 can't live vs. stug and storm. TD, maybe, except fuel went to MP. Hold off for OMCG, but even with a lucky 2 m18 lottery, against vetted stugs and storm back up. You can't get close to sticky because sniper blob takes down rifles. AT guns can't live to fire a shot.
Quite frankly, 3 sniper with 2-3 vetted stugs is a tough nut to crack. |
Yeah!!!
Game was working fine for me anyway, but glad you helped out all the lobby match people. |
Wehr, 90% terror.
US, 90% inf.
Don't play the others, but mostly see Scorched Earth/Tank Destroyer (about 50%) and Commandos (98%) when playing against.
In most recent tourneys, pretty sure the terror/inf combo was most popular. You saw some random def, barely any blitz. AB and Armor were used here and there, but rare. |

A million thanks for the memories. Besides hundreds of hours of entertainment for me, your insight improved my game at least a few levels.
I wish you guys well. Happy Trails! |
^^^^man, I wish they had random like they did in first steam version where it was only US or Wehr. It sucks that you have to pick one or other when you just want a quick game. Now you kind of have to see where most people are going and then pick against it. But not too bad. I've been getting games quickly. Just hope it stays that way. |
I've had 4 or 5 sync errors in about 140 games or so. And 6 total disputes. Only once or twice I think I got a dispute with sync error. In most cases, sync error comes up and it says I've been defeated, but I actually get the win. In 1 or 2 cases it crashed straight to desk top.
IDK, game has been pretty smooth for me, can't complain at all. But I don't play 2v2 or many lobby games. I know there's issues, so I hope they fix for everyone's sake, but all these sky is falling proclamations have to be qualified because if you're a 1v1 automatch player, you should be fine. |
I read the changes. All make sense to me even though I was hesitant to tinker with more than just the bug fixes and sniper issues. I like the officer. Might mean a sniper counter at cheaper cost. And cheaper T4 allows for earlier KCH which again is a good sniper counter.
The jeep kind of concerns me little bit though. Pios are already so fragile to them. A jeep first build sending it to obvious capping spot (i.e. 10 muni in top left corner or bottom right corner on Semois) means instant retreat as soon as you see it (or even hear it) and might/probably even die on retreat. And I wonder about possible jeep/engy spam since jeep + engy is probably greater than volk now rather than being 50/50.
But nice work. Really looking forward to it. |
I really hope Relic fixes the bugs in custom matches, etc. so everyone can enjoy it.
But honestly, I mostly play 1v1 auto. I got 100 games in already and have had 2 or 3 synch errors, 1 or 2 crashes to desktop and 4 disputes (all wins except for 1).
not great, but not bad either. It was much worse on previous version with pull the plug to get a drop hack win mod.
Don't get me wrong, they need to fix it all. i.e. leaderboard still messed up not allowing to go past #45, filtering lobby matches, etc.
But I just want to make sure the 1v1 automatch players aren't scared away by all these doom and gloom posts. When the patch went live, I almost didn't play because it was nothing but game is totally broken posts and auto doesn't work, etc. I'm glad I tried for myself, because like I said, my overall experience is about as good as it's ever been. |
Many thanks again. Finally got in a few games. What a difference using M18 makes. Wow. I can honestly say I won a game or two that I probably would have lost if I had m10s instead.
Playing around with Schwinwagen. Feels better than bike no doubt, but not sure if it's worth the cost. Kind of screws up timing of T1.
Whats consensus on this? Do people think it's worth it?
Want to try Geshutzwagen as well. I remember people were using it early on, but now all you see are stugs. |
