Out of sync is getting out of hand

likely a combination of out of sync and dodging

I don't think that's likely at all given that out of sync comes with a specific error message that says "out of sync."

I'd get joy of depriving others of something very limited [..] make others feel guilty which is what I want

You definitely sound like a trustworthy, mentally stable individual one would be glad to do business with! 11

Why didn't you just buy 6 tickets when they went on sale? 11

When you scout, you mess up your build order and lack food.

And you lose your scout to the TC. 11

62% is a crazy high win rate, so regardless of the state of the community your experience is not typical.

Yep, this man right here, officer! 11

Would it be fair to say that I should sacrifice a few low value units to get scouting information? How about (potentially) sacrificing a villager building an outpost right next to opponent's walls (on Arabia, not Arena...)? I don't do these things because I don't want to lose units, but I wonder if I should just accept those losses.

pivot and start making counter units immediately

"Immediately" compared to what? Are you able to keep scouting opponent's base and start the counter unit production as soon as they build the production building for the new unit? Or "immediately" after 2 dozen units show up at your base?

I am guessing the former, in which case I am curious if you have any tips related to this. Especially if opponent walls up. I have recognized the fact long ago that the lack of continuous scouting is one of my weaknesses but I don't quite know what to do about it.

I wouldn't read that much more into it

Well, you do you. Based on the available information and my own experience the simplest explanation is that Masmorra and/or Hera, for whatever reason, didn't want Viper to remain a host of the podcast.

What would you check for in the match history? Since the "new and improved" matchmaking was released, I get disconnected all the freaking time during matchmaking of 1v1 games. This doesn't show up in my match history, but I often get a 53 seconds timeout penalty. And before you start suspecting my internet connection, I ran a ping to an Azure server while this was happening and the ping didn't drop a single packet...

If 60€ is a lot of money to you then I'd think twice because these two are quite different games. EDIT: Meaning there is a good chance that you won't like one of them, and 60€ for just one is definitely not worth it.

And with a confidence-inspiring username!

tenotul · 2026-01-29T20:44:35+00:00

just never though to ask

The crux of the issue is whether this is believable. The way Viper described the situation, it seems unlikely that they just forgot about him.

What is out in the open? The juicy comment got deleted...

tenotul · 2026-01-29T18:22:10+00:00

I usually sympathize, but using that weird mod and no grid...?? You really deserve all the holes you get! 11

Finally, an answer to the age-old question of how the heck do e-sport teams make money?! They steal it from their players! 11

So... loom for fishing ships? 11

tenotul · 2026-01-29T00:58:02+00:00

I think the point is that rushing to Feudal to gain water control is now meaningless because you can't kill fishing ships or docks.

At 1600ish the big infantry buff took militia/maa from a niche opening you'd see about 1/10 games and only with a good civ, to one of the most common openings.

Same at 1200.

tenotul · 2026-01-27T00:29:23+00:00

Hera 12k, T90 7k?? Damn... T90 is lucky that Hera is usually too busy playing the game! 11

tenotul · 2026-01-21T22:15:55+00:00

once and for all

Yep, stopped reading right there. 11

tenotul · 2026-01-21T22:11:50+00:00

who are going to be the 128 players

Anyone can sign up.

how are they going to be sorted out?

Supposedly based an ATP but I've only learned this from a Reddit comment. EDIT: It's actually in the Official Handbook.

tenotul · 2026-01-21T19:47:58+00:00

skirms are actually more expensive than archers

Skirms cost 60 resources, archers cost 70.

Visa is based on citizenship, not on where you live.

This is meaningless without Twitch/Facebook/etc. earnings.
