This game has the worst community hands down
I've been playing for quite some time now. These feelings have been building up and after a fustrating night I want to see if im alone on this. This game has the worst community for a game I have ever seen. :evil:
Never have I played a game filled with people with dial up connections, slow laggy PC's, dodgy internet connections which disconnects, and the most unwelcoming attitude to new players. Tonight I've spent 20mins trying to get into a game. After 5mins of waiting in the lobby for players to come, the host is afk and so we all wait around for a couple of mins. The game starts and we start loading. Except one of the people has timed out and we're stuck on a 10 minute loading screen to tell us that he's timed out. So the game is restart and the same thing happens 2nd time round. When we do finally get into the game, some guy rage quits after 5minues of playing. At least once every other game, someone times out during the loading screen or rage quits early game when things don't go their way. Often you get pros who all stack a team and kick new players who take thier slot, so as you get a team of eg 3 pros (not clanners or anything like that), against 2 one star people and 1 noob. No one has a sense of balance and everyone is more interested in having a steam-roll game. Another problem which isn't so bad is; from an english speakers point of view, there is such a wide audience of people with such a range of languages that there is no communication in the lobbies as no one can understand each other. Rant over, hopefully I'm not the only one who feels like this. |
This is with every MP game. Unless everybody gets a good PC and Internet provider, there is always going to be someone who times out. You can't change the way people are either.

Well, I don’t know all gaming communities so I am not able to say which one is the worst, but I also have mixed feelings about MoW community.
1). The community suffers from many technical problems which can be a bit frustrating. Too many patches and their incompatibility being most problematic. Plus, Steam users experience additional problems. 2). Community seems to be divided into Russian-speaking and English-speaking. I have nothing against other languages used in the lobby, but nothing excuses stupid comments like: “You fool, learn Russian, it is our game!”. 3). Rage quitting or kicking somebody without a word is quite common and can be attributed to lack of good manners. Even simple Hi/ Privet at the start of the game is rarely seen, not to mention more advanced stuff like praising somebody ( e.g.: N1) for a good tactical move, which in other communities is quite a norm. I'd advice new international MP players to: 1. Join games hosted by players with the same or similar rank. Don't join games hosted by pros unless you are one too. 2. When hosting the game, set additional rules, like: 200 ping max, English-speaking only, just for noobs, etc. 3. Pay attention to your own ping and pings of other players, esp. when you join big games like 5x5 and above. 4. If you join big games, make sure the majority can speak English. Big games are fun only if the communication is good. They are a huge mess if allies can’t cooperate. 5. It won’t hurt to know some basic Russian words: left flank, attack centre, defend. I have them written on a piece of paper. :-) 6. Take time zones difference into consideration when playing the game: wait for Russians to go to sleep and play with the Americans instead. Just joking. ;) For myself, my list of friends is growing everyday, but most of my friends happen to be American. |

I'm currently serving a ban so I've been back playing Rome Total War and the chat lobby there is crazy. There is no regulation and believe me you hear it all, every ism under the sun. Its not all players but the few make the most of it to offend as many as possible.
Its a gamespy server and far worse than MOW, all said there are some great fellas there and the banter can be hilarious at times. Its basically opposite of MOW some good points some bad, very bad points. My biggest gripe with mow is the amount of cheating and is sometimes very hard to detect. Also learning the game is hard where as plenty of people are willing to help in rtw. There have been many occasions where I have nearly given up the game but I'm getting there. I have always found the best games to be when no one speaks yet looks out for each other and works as a team be it mow or rtw. People leaving the game is a sickener especially as games take so long to get going but your always going to get anal players like that unfortunately. Oh and a last word for the fellas who think its good to spawn for 15 minutes when the point is totally surrounded "it's sad" if these people put as much effort into the main game as they do trying to break out of spawnpoint with tankmen the team might not end up getting ripped. |

Could you expand on that,pls? |

Yes, sometimes this happens. The culprits are a bunch of cunts tho, tbh. |

TNT in tanks was very common then and still is today. Its only realistic. Often, tanks would find themselves cut off by hedge hogs or rubble that only TNT would suffice.
The only thing I really have against MP games is the spawncamping. Really annoying now and then. |

People with bad attitudes. That can't be fixed, only limited. Its always going to be there.
Most people don't read up well enough on games before they buy them, so they are going to lag and disconnect now and then. Maybe this will be fixed and have a better MP in Assault Squad. |

Sorry I meant to say Teamkiller not gamekiller, basically people who deliberately leave the team in trouble or do nothing to help but the worst one is a the one going round tnt own tanks and passing unit to another player before it explodes so it looks like other person has done it, I had this experience recently on river map. Last week on port map I was on right flank and someone was passing me panzerwerfer from behind left rock when it had run out of ammo. Why ? so they don't lose points if it gets hit ? |
Quote:
so i said (what?) he say that i try to take out his tank by using TNT. so i said to him (i didn't) but he don't believe me and he keep on calling me a cheater and insulting me and so on. i even take a screen shot of his comment and guess what that was you who keep calling me a cheater. http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/276...1517574032.png that what you get for accusing people of cheating and insulting them for reason that the player have no idea of what you're accusing them of doing. |
Thats funny, lol.

Quote:
But guess what !!!!!! I saw you do it! I scrolled over the the unit with the TNT before it was thrown and it was your name! Not only are you a cheat but a liar as well! |
Quote:

I don't see how its cheating. I use every resource I can get my hands on to win. Even if you tell people not to use TNT, its not a rule for overall MP so its not going to be followed by that many.

I was unaware this was possible and if it is the case I offer Speedwolf my sincere apologies! Yet again there are people causing problems and happily getting away with it! |
Quote:
but if you want to keep it like that no problem with me. let see how far you will go with a bad attitude like yours. "edit" i just see your comment of your apologies. i really didn't do it. and i don't like to be call a liar or cheater specially when i was saying the true. |
He already has been banned at least once. The way things are going lately, doesn't look like its going to end soon, maybe not at all.
|
He said sorry to you, didn't he? So let's forget all about it.
But the thing is it all comes down to trust coz it is hard to prove if somebody really passed the units to you or not. |

THAT was a bad experience. Sometimes it could easily take 30 or 40 min. before you get a game going. And at least in Men of War if you are rushed in the first 30 sec. of the game its not always over you can still do something and have fun with a descent team of course. Age of Empires on the other side ... yeah you have to love those people that run around killing others in the first 2-3 min of gameplay even when the host said "no early rush". So to say that men of war is not worse compared to other real time strategy games I played in MP. Though its also not better. The real issue is the server browser laging like crazy sometimes taking 10 min before you can choose a game ... Quote:

That whole thing about limiting to no TnT is sooo annoying...the same thing happens in Battlefield games...the server goes, no commanders, no artillery, no this no that...they limit the game to like nothing but infantry weapons. Why not just play the damn game, if the people cant handle thier tanks being blown into metal splinters dont play, but dont limit the use of any tool in the game..if its there you should beable to use it to its fullest effect. If your having trouble w/ guys blowing your rump up with Artillery then try and get some better cover w/ your tanks vision and use old tank crew to man your AA MGs. In Regular games use better infantry cover....however, on that note, limiting to no planes is nice.....AA doesnt track them so they are practically invincible making them very OP. IMO if planes are going to be in the game they should be call in 1 run airstrike like the Bombing Run you get on "Behind Enemy Lines" or "Desert Stronghold" Not some flyable unit that is anti everything

cant argue that its quite a bit more accurate then it should be....the American M114 155mm can snipe out my tanks from max range, placing it right in my commanders hatch. in BoW mod had an opponenet following my Panzer IV with it. US and Soviet Artillery are snipers while German Artillery isnt haha.

i been playing Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and Faces of War long before men of war come out. and can say that someday your on top of the world in the game and someday you're down on your luck. the ranking system don't mean that you have good skill is just mean that you play a lot of men of war Multiplayer, and also is not that hard to change your rank the only thing you have to do is edit some text file. but anyway is a hit and miss when you're playing Men of War Multiplayer but of course in saying that. is help if you're good in strategy. like setting up mind and using scout to keep a eye on your enemy movement and if you're lucky you win.:grin: |

This is exactly why the game should have had a freaking Skirmish Mode. |

it musta gotten alot worse since I used it last then, I sniped out and killed all my dad's tanks w/ it...1 shot, right on the roof, Hull Destroyed..he had like 2 or 3 and they were only like Panzy IIIs and Stug III's but still.....no I dont use aim bots either
|
I doubt M114 is worse then any of the other artilleries. Except for that D1 that seams to be the most accurate.
You where only unlucky, have had games where the artillery haven't hit anything and other where it destroys several tanks. Don't count on your arty to be tank killers, its mostly for soft targets. Infantry, light armor, cars, AT guns, artillery etc.. |
I dont use my Arty as anti Tank, in the hopes that it will kill the tanks, its good that arty isnt AT...it would be more retarded if it did kill tanks w/ regularity ..i use it for Anti Artillery and to knock off tracks, break guns and wasting guys behind sandbags.
|
I use artillery in Battlezones and Victory Flag. For knocking off tracks and anti infantry and light vehicle I use rockets or AT rifles. You should try the British artillery, its not accurate but it seems to have a fast fire rate.
|
British Arty? you mean the 25LBer? ive never tried it but im sure the reason it has a faster fire rate is b/c it is only a 88mm gun and so it uses the load time of the 88, seeing how this game's load times seem to be based entirely off the caliber of the gun, where large calibers like the 122 and 155 load like 12-15 seconds and the small calibers like 37-45mm have like 3-4 second load times and the middle calibers 50-76 are like 8 seconds and such, rather then any skills of crews or anything else
|
No I mean that 152mm thing. Not that accurate but really good in power and firing rate. It seems so much quicker to reload then all the rest.
|
you mean the B.L. CWT thing? If not then idk what gun it is hahahha Either way, the British guns I do know are smaller caliber....so yeah they do load kinda faster then other guns...which is nice if your the Brits =P

In a gem test all heavy artillery reloads at about the same rate. The D1 is smaller then the other guns so it loads half a second less then the other guns.

i agree with the o.p about the community, both these forums and in the actual game
case in point i created a thread with a few questions, and barely anyone even bothered to read it or answer. ive been using this game for a few days now and besides a few players who are friendly to me the majority are just guys spaming in some weird language theres no hello no sense of a community, yeh u see the odd people who know each other and exchange greetings, but as a whole its totally different to games i play like warband and mount and blade where theres hundreds of clans, groups etc. also, i think there should be a ticker or something with a risk level by a persons name, and if a person quits regularly, like more than twice in a one day period during game, the person has a high risk level symbol by his name, so the admin can kick him and not risk the idiot quitting mid game.. quitters are annoying! also, the waiting for ages for somebody to hit ready or connect is such a pain! its totaly different to war games where u just log onto a server and bingo connect.. it seems though that the people with decent connections have to pay the price for the people using a toaster to connect :( |
