Hey all. I bought rebellion a few months ago and I've been playing mostly offline with some of my real life friends. I decided to start playing online because I was getting more involved and wanted to play more often. I've now played about 20 games and I've run into a trend that I greatly dislike...
It seems like the majority of players online just want a fast, rush style game. Sometimes they are 5v5, 3v3, FFA whatever the basic idea seems to be the same. All settings to faster and try to rush your opponent as fast as possible to win. I understand that this strategy works and that the highly competitive players do this to win. My issue is that it seems like the vast majority of players online have this mentality. As if everyone was playing for money or something. I see thread after thread about people trying to maximize their outputs and do every click planned and thought out. There is even a thread where one player tells another that he was 1 min late getting a certain ship out...
The point of this thread is that I'm looking to find people that play for fun and not min/max gaming. That kind of gaming is best left for starcraft or similar fast paced RTS. To me, this game is a slower paced, more laid back RTS and that's what I enjoy about it so much. I can get up and go to the bathroom and not worry that I missed 30 seconds of microing my techs lol.
I've only played 20 games so I know it's a small sample size, but are there players like this online? If so where is a good place to find casual players? The lobby never has more than 5 people in it and they are either AFK or looking to join a 5s skilled game.
Also I don't want anyone to get confused, casual does not mean bad player. I do quiet well online even though I hate the fast paced style. I'm something like 16-4 in my 20 games, mostly in those fast paced skilled games. My desire is to find players who are more laid back and willing to play at a slower and more enjoyable pace. I like games that last two hours as opposed to thirty mins.
Thanks
