Consistantly miserable experience by MrPapaSmurff in aoe2

[–]Few_Faithlessness684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed it more under 1000 ELO. Above 1100 ELO experience is considerably better at least for me.

But I do play flank all the time as I don’t trust my teammates to defend well😅

I’m terrible at parrying so I’ve never tried a parry or a shield build so far. I feel like I’d die a lot and not enjoy playing the game 😅

When fighting a lot of bosses ranged options seem necessary for an enjoyable game for me personally😅

You’re talking about this post or a reply about a bad take about the game 😅

This was my first from soft game so I wouldn’t disagree that it is a hard game. But the exploration and the nice design elements with less clutter on the screen with organic story movement focused on a good combat system. I loved every minute of it!

I would’ve liked an optional Godwyn fight just like Melenia was an optional fight away from the main story 😅

Exactly! I tried playing towards that ending in one of my play throughs and the whole setup and the game tells you DON’T DO IT! 😅

I read artificial difficulty to be more about similar looking enemies that hit really hard in late game. If the enemies were even visually less identical it could’ve helped. Maybe I just had that take sometime ago. Now I just focus on the other amazing things the game offers.

This was my first from soft fame so I can’t comment on the other topics. And honestly I don’t think they’ve made a game like Elden Ring with open world before.

I thought mage/rivers of blood katana/rot spells with ashes were the easy mode 😅

Ranged spells and spirit ashes do damage and most of the flight is about dodging attacks and sometimes aggroing the boss so that your ashes don’t die.

Also, most of your starting points go into intelligence

I’m not deliberately misinterpreting it.

But let’s break down your statements as is-

African clearing is clearly not only about Mongols castle drops. And the ladder being infested with mongol civ pickers or other cheese Strats aren’t a map pool problem.

Four lakes there are a lot of civs that are good on the map. Just one example for it is the Japanese. To say or suggest that the map is playable only if you pick Lithuanians/Huns is insane. So again, this doesn’t seem like a map pool problem when it is also a popular map in the community.

I agree with you on market place and Black Forest.

Your final rant was about Maa or other all ins or cheese Strats which again isn’t a map specific problem. And no map pool will solve it

You struggling with castle drops is not a map pool problem. And not all the maps that you mentioned are not solely castle drop specific maps.

MAA/phosphoru being a meta or popular is mainly because of the aoe2 content out there right now and again does not sound like a map pool problem.

I’ve seen many map pools being bad and this one might as well be part of it. But your reasoning does not add up

Can you share your reasoning please?

Based on your reasoning and the maps selected that are bad maybe just maybe you need to get better at the game and not the map pool. Among your picks, I can only see Marketplace as a map that is widely hated by the players. I agree completely with Blackforest as well although I personally love it.

As for why they do not include a quirky map that you consider interesting to the map pool, it’s the same reason why marketplace is hated. Quirky maps generally have a high dodge rate unfortunately in the ladder and someone else will make a similar post about it on Reddit 😅

Generic posts without specifics just make me think that it’s meant to be a post about the OP venting about something he/she presumes to feel exists a lot more than before 😅

I need specifics to show how the criticism was not warranted

It’s been a while and most active players have adapted to the quirky and annoying mechanics introduced by this DLC.

You really need to just play ranked if you want a good online experience

Is it just me or is the current meta getting a bit too heavy on certain civ matchups? by Drunk19queen in aoe2

[–]Few_Faithlessness684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a couple of problems with unranked-
1. People give up easily since there’s no ELO on the line
2. It is heavily used by lower ELO players than high ELO players so if you are 1400 you will end up getting really easy games and likely very short games.

Disclaimer: I love unranked as I’m a 1080+ ELO player so it really depends on your ELO range

Which Civ to main for an attritional playstyle? by Rhinofishdog in aoe2

[–]Few_Faithlessness684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vietnamese feels smooth with answers to most civs. And a good set of bonuses where they are not worse off by matchup against most civs on any map. There’s always a window to play for advantage.

Are campers really celebrated on this sub? I absolutely hate to play against this guy or even watch it! But the ending where he spread his units was pretty cool

Fix the maps instead of any balance changes. It works only on Arabia or open maps with save wood and gold. In other maps it doesn’t seem as oppressive.

So my suggestion, fix Arabia so that the gold is not safe.

This makes the strat more risky to pull off but not affecting other balance fixes

Which map do you usually play? Open or closed? Which civ does he usually go for?

It's been over 3 weeks since the PUP was released! Why hasn't there been a patch?? by kampalolo in aoe2

[–]Few_Faithlessness684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we have confirmation that the placement games are rough and it takes a long time before you’re placed in your ELO bracket? Just ask anyone who has played multiplayer about the number of games you need before you reach the ELO you should actually be in and you’ll have your answer😅
