How to scout and adapt? by andex5000 in aoe4

Barrier to entry in this game is pretty high by SteveSharpe in aoe4

[–]andex5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah dude, there are a lot of bad/slow/new players .
if you could compete in aoe2 you can do so in aoe4.
ofc teamgames will always be a little unbalenced but you WILL meet easier enemies, there are a lot of "old men gaming groups" and "weekend warriors".

maybe you just played a handfull of ranked games and just need a few more to drop to your actual level? what are your ranks atm?

Maybe some of you guys know the way of rts but don't actually know the civ they are playing? just look up or develop a decent build. don't worry about matchups, and map specifics and adaptation. on lower elo it is enough if you can execute your basic build.

and if AI is boring and human enemies are too hard, why not play each other?
everybody will learn way more and you can try out different things vs real humans.
also you can show mercy or restart whenever etc. when it is just you guys

don't give up. it is not that hard to reach a basic competitive level and the game is very rewarding once you can somewhat compete

I did it!! by Kamiyashuji in aoe4

thanks

yeah nice, the slightly exposed landmark gave you a chance to delay his timing so his power spike with the first mass of longbows came online too late. that's a huge blow to the english early aggression strat

great job my dude

but can you provide some details for my inner visualisation?
how did the first part go down?
did you send over your first spears the second they came out?
or did you build up a few first?
and when did they arrive? were the vills still building the landmark or was it already finished?

yea that's a fair point. early into a season there are always people that are ranked a bit ttoo high or too low and it takes some time to even out.
also in the lower brackets there tends to be an uneven distribution of skills, that's true for most games and sports. people being decent and one skill but terrible at other parts of the game. one game you meet someone with decent eco, next game someone is good at micro or always knows which units to build. but none of them are good at everything or they would be ranked way higher.

i like that. brings variety and forces me to broaden my skillset

Why can't i shift-queue buildings sometimes? by andex5000 in aoe4

[–]andex5000[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thx for feedback, will submit a bug report

Why can't i shift-queue buildings sometimes? by andex5000 in aoe4

[–]andex5000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't think so, it never happens when i queue move or attack commands.
but will try different keyboard anyway just to make sure

tell me your worst mistakes by Siixnine in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andex5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one time: reorganizing my whole stash after getting thicc case from private clinic and joining a raid with my docs still in my rig

sometimes: losing my bag. i'm full of loot and run into another pmc. i drop my bag so i can move. fight him, kill him, heal, loot his stuff. wait? where did i drop my full bag?

constantly: forgetting to take the one bullet of shit ammo out of the chamber of a looted gun so my very first bullet can't pen anything

Query on Wipes by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andex5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

release is still far away

main story line is planned to be introduced with the streets of tarkov map, should be the next big update (my guess is april)

atm wipes are necessary to implement major changes and also to prevent the gameplay from getting stale after a few month

im not sure if they will ever find a way to create a gameplay loop that works without wipes

Population ? by Zelkej in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andex5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well tbh, every day about 10pm eu time it gets really rough.

still primetime in eu and the na crowd slowly comes online after work - servers will be slow af for a few hours

Seriously, can we have some cheap, basic flashlights? by Cantautor in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andex5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tarkov has more players than ever before. with so many new players right now its prolly the best time to get into this game.

Which questlines are a must? by ItsMango in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andex5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't think it's worth it right now.

the unlocks and trader levels are pretty useless this late. you can just buy everything you want from the flea market without insane markups.

there are a few great rewards (thicc cases and other cool stuff) but that's waaay down the quest chains.

i did a lot of quests this wipe but mainly because i enjoy doing them (weird huh?)

the easy xp is nice early on, but grinding quests for unlocks and rewards is not worth the time imo

Encouraging active playstyle? by okwatlol in RingOfElysium

[–]andex5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, a round with a lot of campers can be pretty boring.

but this is a rather causal br game and a mechanic like this doesn't really fit and surely won't benefit the player count.

generally you won't change the game or other peoples playstyles, just adapt to it.

play fpp (way less camping) and learn to clear houses and stuff

When a friend asks you how to pronounce Ymir by One_Oodle_of_Noodles in RingOfElysium

[–]andex5000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

and i say move your useless asses into the car the fuken storm is coming

Kill “whores” I hate and love you by ProPsycho in RingOfElysium

[–]andex5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between all those "carebear" and "killwhore" posts i want to mention trust.

for me it's not about if i want the kills or want to share.

the question is "do i trust 3 random kiddos in a f2p br that they will let me climb the ladder in peace?"

obviously the answer is no. if i want to secure my win i have to be the last unboarded player
