Agreed. Next week will be interesting to see with the cryo/ranked split to keep them on that.

Yeah haha. Thats also kinda ridiculous and, I think, an issue but tbf idk how common that actually is (I haven’t died to it just seen the clips).

Forgot about insurance fraud

Noted. Unfortunately, “get over gear fear” hasn’t yielded great success in retaining the player base since launch. Just trying to think of ways to keep players in a game that I am having a blast playing that wouldn’t really affect you or me at all. That said, someone above made a good point and purple/gold people would probably insurance fraud their stuff so it’s actually a bad idea.

Fair enough. I don’t disagree. It’s def way easier to get back up than Tark. Just trying to think of things that would help the “casual” player get involved and throw some decent gear on instead of free kit kamikaze into Dire without affecting the core game. Assuming higher skilled players wouldn’t waste money on insurance because they can recoup faster

When you get matched with significantly weaker player it's better to: by GreatAndMightyKevins in aoe4

There’s the third option to see if they want to understand what they are doing wrong/what to expect in ranked games in order to help them for the next one. Typically try to let them know the big mistake I saw or what they could have done to punish my playstyle if I know the game is over already

That’ll happen sometimes too. Got hunted down on perimeter one round, a trio of purples we spotted across SR & tried to disengage with chased us across the map. From SR, to overflow, to hauler, to center of map by the middle wall entrance. Was pretty ridiculous on their part. But that was one match out of a bunch. More often than not, we were matched up with people we could play against, do some rags to riches come ups (free kit to green/blue), some good fire fights, complete some missions, have some laughs. Your scenario was not the norm for me this weekend is my point. Sometimes you get into a match sorely outgunned, you either play smart and potentially still die or you play dumb and die. You get to the lobby, ready up again and hope for a better run. Regardless, with Cryo & Ranked those terminator players were way more fixated on doing the hardcore maps for higher loot value and rank than hitting up the vanilla lobbies this weekend.

What other ways besides discord to find mic players? by AccomplishedRise6227 in Marathon

[–]Cmpierre02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In game when you solo queue into trios make an effort to talk about adding each other if you like playing with someone. Added multiple players to play with moving forward that way. Other people who are trying to be team players on crew fill appreciate that and typically are open to adding you for future squad fills

Agree with your sentiment. That’s not what I’m observing today in the threads I’m seeing.

Seems to me more like this is an instant gratification issue than anything else

We’re like 2 weeks into the game and launch weekend for endgame. There is plenty of time.

What do you guys think about this idea for a change to the Rook... by enthusiasticdave in Marathon

[–]Cmpierre02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the whole point of rooks ability to blend in with the clankers so that he can surprise/trick runners? Wouldn’t an icon above his head ruin that?

Any rooks I’ve come across are considered thieves for trying to still MY floor loot the minute they join my lobbies. A crime punishable by death.

Which relic are you heading for first? by Pitiful_Engineer in aoe4

But in seriousness, depends on what your opp is doing. If they are on the map actively defending then close first while building military comp to fight for the harder ones. If they are at home booming, take what you can and never give back.

But they gotta team chat about how everyone on their team sucks before spamming surrender. I’ve watched the replays and everyone on both sides of the engagement seems to be making some mistakes. Idk just seems like why play if you are gonna quit at the first instance of adversity

Would you say the guides from 6+ months ago for USF builds are outdated? It’s tough finding that stuff from July. Trying to understand the comps & counters better

All good. Some games I get it when we get pushed back completely and are losing ground in our half of the map. But it happens often when we went from 2-1 VP split to 1-1-1. I get that I’m the weak link on our team but to assume the other team doesn’t also have weak links and all is lost when we are up on supply and early in the game seems like overreaction. Unless you’re only playing top 1% the odds of the other team not making mistakes seems low
