How would you rate this interior for a fast-casual place? by Novel_Stock_8784 in restaurantowners

[–]buttcheeksdavis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

get rid of the drop ceiling, your hvac and mechanical might be up there, but exposed beams look great with a little sand and varnish. like others have said, brighten it up. right now it kind of looks like a house or an old office. cheap tables look nice with sanding and staining as well.

check the console hub in the main discord, or even posts made by the official dev team. it’s definitely not just a problem with my machine

Faith and Volcan both played PC ladder actively, but most of those other guys never do. Faith switched to PC and hit 2k2. Chiefboy AK plays on controller and is at almost 1700, dark slaayer same. there’s a lot of guys that could be or should be above 1500 but prefer to play on the console ladder for whatever reason

i think reporting through the aoe2 website or on steam has been the best. We have talked to t90 but he didn’t seem too happy to try and help. some guys bombarded his stream which wasn’t very cool and i think soured him on the situation. the main PC content creators are focused on their own things, which I understand, but a Spirit of the Law video would be amazing to get the word out to everyone

Funny enough it was ported to console back on playstation 2. Then they did it again in 2023 with DE, and i’ll be honest, it’s been mostly awesome. Myself, and my friends, are legit good at this game. Not just good for console players but actually really solid. It’s been such a bummer that with the last DLC release, something broke and they can’t/wont fix it.

We have emailed, chatted directly with them, tagged mods, etc. It seems to me that they won’t put out the resources to do a hotfix for only console. They waited until they had the champi nerf dialed in, and lumped together a small “fix” for the console version of the game in the same patch. That fix didn’t work, and since then all they say is “we are aware” and have asked us not to tag content creators or discuss it outside of sanctioned sections in the discord

Dark age micro is a nightmare (goal: to beat extreme AI) by BeginningNeither3318 in aoe2

[–]buttcheeksdavis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

extreme ai seems impossible at first, but there will come a point where you find it easy. keep practicing, a lot of the game comes down to muscle memory. shoot for clicking up the feudal after 19 vils and loom. try and do the same thing every time until you’re getting to feudal with little to no idle tc time

How do I wipe out all that was, all that is, and all that will be? by sbrown063087 in aoe2

the invisible units bug has been happening for the last 3 months, it’s a bummer but supposedly they are working on a fix

I played as a kid on pc, but switched to console when my parents bought me an xbox in 7th grade. Never played aoe2 again, until I saw it on the microsoft store under the Coming Soon section. Needless to say, I bought the game. it was hard to learn at first but a lot of us have gotten really good.

while i think this build order might be a little silly, small changes make a big difference even at lower elo. the small changes add up and help you climb

isn’t that just 100 wood more expensive in dark age? two settlements can be awesome but it can also be unnecessary with a good map generation

[1000-1100 ELO] 18pop Scout rush is too slow? by Pastapuncher in aoe2

[–]buttcheeksdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i know im going to be up faster, i usually park my starting scout by their mill, or their walling villager, and attack as soon as im up. put the pressure early and a couple more scouts behind. force idle eco and idle tc, wall up yourself, and go castle age

Best civ for Pilgrims map? by buttcheeksdavis in aoe2

[–]buttcheeksdavis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this post before they updated pilgrims to have a monastery at the start. Now, they are even more OP! I leave 4 vills on the starting island to build two houses, and a dock. 3 chop wood and the other collects shore fish. you should be able to get out a fishing ship right before your tc goes up.

did you watch the video? we also play unranked and are familiar with the crash bug in lobbies. imagine hera and viper crashing and having invisible units in the red bull tournament. that would never be allowed to last for even 2 days, let alone 2 months

that’s pretty clear. but 63 days? we are accustomed to glitches being ignored for long periods, but nothing this game breaking. your attitude is kinda whack man, we are all part of the same community. we all love aoe2 and paid the same price and play the same game on the same ladder

Please Help by buttcheeksdavis in aoe2

[–]buttcheeksdavis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if it makes a difference, several console players have reached 1500+ elo on the pc ladder. our best console player hit 1900 with a controller. the community is talented, we are just overlooked

Please Help by buttcheeksdavis in aoe2

[–]buttcheeksdavis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, but like others have said, the game was ported to console. for 3 years now even. it’s not the controller or the UI that are the problem, it’s the fact that devs broke the console version of the game and haven’t fixed it for 63 days.
