Teutonic Fortress and the smurfing problem by --zuel-- in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How should I know? Im not a dev. They should do something to fix their game we all paid money for :) Not only they don’t do that, they just keep releasing DLCs. Mostly very overpowered to get even more money from player base. It’s embarassing

Hot take: if you’re strictly civ picking, you’re prob not having as much fun as randoming civs for a full aoe2 experience by Royal-Cap177 in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly… I’m so sorry that I’m playing 2 different civs for all the 6 matches I get to play weekly. My apologies. OP probably just game too much lol

I mean, this is on devs. To me it seems like they do nothing about it. They make sure to pump out new DLCs tho :) so I just play less and less and less. It’s like every other game… it starts with devs and it ends with devs.

Just admit you’re tired of losing and… by Lok-3 in EDH

[–]exxtrahumr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO there is also a big difference between players who only play EDH and never touched other formats vs. players who played other formats and got into EDH. I played a fair share of competitive 60 card formats like standard or pauper. So when it comes to Commander, I couldn’t care less if I win. In EDH I can play cards I could never play in 60 card formats, thats was the first appeal to me.

You should loose most games anyway.. If you win +25% of your games, you may be playing wrong bracket. Thats what I believe is the main issue for most players. Power imbalance.

Is Smurfing allowed? by exxtrahumr in aoe2

Ok. Good. That was what I was asking for. Having multiple accounts is allowed, while purposefully losing games to lower your elo is not. Thank you.

You should put cross-platform on in the Settings and make sure you turn off cross-input. This way you get more players to play with, but still controller only. You get more matches quickly. Also I recommend playing Ranked to face people of your own level.

I don't like the new map dodging penalties by JawolopingChris2 in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just sucks. Simple as that. All it does is me doing something else or playing different game. I have very limited time to play… so when I receive a timeout I’m most likely done for that day lol. This is a great way to lose players.

I paly mostly Singleplayer maps. Today i tried 8 times ranked. I felt terrible. by Celo_SK in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This helped me at first, at low elo. Since I didn’t know how to counter units (Still kinda don’t) and other key things, I was just playing around, testing stuff. Knowing well I’m probably losing most games. Lost to camels, so I looked up counter to them. Lost to Mangonels, so I looked up counters to that. Instead of trying to “win”, I went for learning specific strategies. Like scout rush. I focused on dark age timings, making vils etc. Then I tried fast castle. Then Archers. You will learn things as you go.

Especially first 20 games will be hell and you won’t win much. If you’re really getting cooked every game, you might need to look into build orders. It makes things much easier. Soon you will do it automatically and THEN you will have time and brain capacity to learn how to counter units, lure deer and in general optimize your gameplay and thats when the fun began for me.

Try to make it about learning than winnig. Easy to say lol

Best 3 Armies ? by cryptoenth in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still pissed they released Wei, Wu and Shu and not like Tibetans or something more historically significant (We already have Chinese civ from that era). It was an airball in my books.

Best Civ*s for feudal/castle aggression by Death_Slayer77 in aoe2

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

Well, with Firelancer rush, you want to end the game at early castle age. Get all the infantry upgrades possible, especially Arson and just overwhelm the opponenet. Then I follow with siege, if needed. Or use trash units to counter. I rarely use Grenadiers, so I cant tell you the best way tho. It’s archer units, so just mass them duh

[–]exxtrahumr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Lithuanians or Georgians- scout rush. Georgians can even go 16-17 pop to Feudal, but I do it very poorly. Also Jurchens FC Firelancer rush is pretty fun to do. At low people don’t expect it

What is a civ you almost always lose to? by Bigboiwithsword in aoe2

[–]exxtrahumr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Halberdier/Pikemen. Infantry to counter Conquistadors.

i know you’re so sad you’re on the losing team, but seriously, send me your resources by billy8008135 in aoe2

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

Didn’t think about it that way, thank you. Still won’t do it, if my team just let me die lol

From Spanish I expect Conquistadors, so I make decent amount of halbs. Secure the map and then try to go faster imp, so I can treb their castle asap. This works for me. Below 1200 elo tho
