I have come to the conclusion you are nothing but a troll baiter. You sit on these forums posting endless(lol) and utter non-sense that no one but a handful of others agrees with. Bearing in mind that this is a community with 20k+ members participating in it, you arent even a fraction of the player base. And I have to agree with Sti. After the childish and complete non-sense that you keep posting here, berating the game...its no wonder that no one wants to play with you. The fact that YOU cant get a game doesnt mean that MP is broken. I can get a game pretty much whenever I log on if I so wanted.



Further, at the moment the MP is split up into regions, this is annoying and limits the games in a given area, but, its just a matter of changing the download location on Steam to find games. Its not a big deal. My advice to you...just...stop posting on the forums before the mods wise up to your trolling and baiting.

Wow, the fanbois really get worked up when you hit a nerve.



In fact, all of my criticisms are mirrored by numerous people on every area of this forum. I'm just the most vocal in THIS sub-forum. Why? Because MP is the only thing I play.



I was one of THE FIRST to become vocal about the map balancing issues. One of, if not THE FIRST to become vocal about the pathetic matchmaking lobby. And now? Yes that's right, we have news of at least a basic map balance option being introduced. Haven't heard anything about the lobby yet, but hopefully they'll get the message soon.



You fanbois really need hop down off of your flagpoles, because open criticism is what brings attention to these issues.



I gave Amplitude money in exchange for a product I should be able to enjoy. In fact, I basically gave them a donation by buying the Emperor edition, as well. So I feel that after having purchased this product that I'm entitled to have it fixed when there are developers ready and waiting to continue developing the game.



But, let me guess, you're one of the fools that likes to wait for the votes and votes for things like "Special rare planet type" or something asinine like that.



Sorry buddy, I like to focus on the most important of aspects keeping this game from reaching a wider audience AND increasing enjoyment for those who already play it.



Cry harder. Not everyone is going to vomit rainbows for you, kiddo.

I will play with synaptic, and stomp him out. But I will not play with him if he is host, because 98% chance he will quit any game, and being the host ends it. As I'm gonna stomp him out, his quitting is guaranteed. I'm sure the people would like more than 20 turns each game.

It's gotten so bad that even if you feel like playing in MP, it's really not even possible.



1. There are so few players now that over the 3 days since I reinstalled and tried to play MP, it takes normally upwards of 2 hours to even get 4 players. This is with no other open games in the lobby. This is at peak times. This is in what was the "largest" US Steam region.



2. Since all the veteran players seem to have quit with very few exceptions, of the 3 games I was even able to get going, 2 of them fell victim to brand new players who quit because they had no idea how to play. These are players who said they had been playing single player for weeks already. I had forgotten how insignificant and convoluted the training/tutorial in SP actually is, that it produces such incompetent players.



3. Of the 3 games I was able to get going in 3 days of frequent idling in the lobby, 2 of them fell victim to match ending desync. I mean seriously, W T F. Eat a bunch of cheese or something Amplitude, cause you need to get your sh!t together in a big way.



Pathetic...seriously.





EDIT: Oh, and not to mention not even being able to refresh the lobby for long period of time, and getting straight dropped from games, but I suspect that's more a Steam issue right now. However, it's still a major factor towards MP being broken.

I dont like custom races. It smel like cheating to me. But anyway, its not so difficult to find a game.

Hmmm, I have the exact opposite experience. I have been on FMLA from work for about 6 weeks with a horrible case of pneumonia and I can almost always get into a game. You just have to switch between Europe and USA servers at the appropriate times. I can count the times on one hand that I've wanted a game and haven't gotten one going, either by making my own or joining someone else's, in about 15 or 20 minutes.



There are actually more players now than there were 6 weeks ago. But, I make it a point to help new players, which helps. if I see someone not playing with a custom faction, I ask if they are new to MP, then I help them make one. In-game I go out of my way to not be overly aggressive and knock them out early so they don't get discouraged and quit.

thats a fact.



As for your bulshit about settings, you left as host without a word , and didnt reload to continue, so i guess you know about your own settings right?



I wont continue this argument, what i can telll you , is when we play and talk its "ah synaptic , yeah he alwys quits" .Many people.Think about it.

Well it is a moot argument. If I'm not mistaken, you can easily check my Steam profile and see that I've competed many more games (i.e. turn 80+) than I've left or remade at the start.



You just have to look at my recently played with list and see how long I played. If I'm not mistaken anyone can view this, but it might be a private setting.



I have nothing to hide. People form idiotic opinions when they don't get their way, and frankly, most of the "veterans" that complain when I remake are the ones that love to prey on people who got the short end of the stick.



So yeah. Keep it to yourself.

ok thats wierd i was pretty sure they wouldnt , good for you.



I wont.

Well I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe if you had some patience when we're setting up and making sure no-one got completely screwed (yes, anyone that asks for a remake), maybe if you exercised a little understanding that this game is complete crap for enjoyable games without setting it up properly, you'd enjoy yourself along with everyone else who're starting on (somewhat) level ground.





My assumption is that doesn't really work with your playstyle though, you'd rather just dominate people who got the shortest end of the stick.



And don't bullsh!t anyone, I've personally witnessed you drop games when everyone else was just fine.

ok thats wierd i was pretty sure they wouldnt , good for you.



I wont.

There arent that many players, but we manage.I see often your games and never join them.Maybe there are more poeple like me.

You acted like jerk uncountable times , you reap the rewards.



I know my little circle of veteran players :Kyu, masterdave,apech,me,karnij none of us would play with you, we wasted enough time , thank you.

Um, actually I played games with masterdave, and karnij and apech since I reinstalled. lol...so. um. yeah.

If they didn't want to play with me you'd expect they'd create their own games. But they don't. The lobbies stay completely empty except for my game, for hours and hours.



Maybe a response from the devs that MP issues are being worked on and exactly how they plan to mend the completely broken MP experience would help.

Maybe no one wants to play you.
