Reply to Custom Map Club -- let's all install the same custom maps so we can play good customs. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I like the idea of a Custom Map Club. Inorder for everyone to download the same maps , what we need is a community mappack with one single installer and a single definitive place to download this mappack. Atm , the official map place is a bit disorganised. If I download a map there and host it online , how many others online will have had looked on page 23 2nd row , and downloaded the same map inorder to join my game, How many people can I convince to goto page 23 2nd row and d

Reply to Remove the "Quit" Button - petition in Technical Sins Forums

I call for the [B]In-game hours played stat[/B] , with rank badges that reflect how many hours you have played. In an instant you solve many problems... Firstly , someone who is losing might aswell stay in the game and fight to the death because he is still building up his rank. Secondly , insta-wins will become pointless Thirdly , all those re-host games wont build up your stats , like they are falsely doing now.

Reply to Remove the "Quit" Button - petition in Technical Sins Forums

Removing the Quit Button just creates more problems and doesnt really solve any of the underlying problems of quitting. The problems it creates is that there are valid reasons why someone needs to quit a game. Its unfair if someone wants to save and continue a game another day. Everyone has to quit. Should they get a loss everytime they want a game to be saved for another day. The better solution would be to remove the win/loss stats , and make Rank Base on In-Game time spent.

Reply to Question about amount of online players in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Its actually not true. The 114 players online means everyone whos online , waiting in the lobby or ingame. So potentially you could have 113 players inside game , and you will be on your lonesome in the lobby thinking where the hell is everyone. 114 is actually ALOT of players. Id be over the moon to have seen that number of players in Homeworld 2 online , and I was playing that game for years with only 40-50 players online MAX, AT PEAK TIME. Kinda figures why I dont take Sins

[quote]I'm not sure if you've played online, but players have largely jumped offline because the online game takes too long to get spun up in the larger galaxies. Its great for friends who play long games together but just strangers, forget about it. The online game also has boiled down to a few distinct strategies, of two or three key units which match up and over counter the others. With more unit variety there would be improved gameplay. For the most part its just LRM's versus FLAK. Every oth

Reply to Why can't new/player maps be auto uploaded to players? in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]As a custom map maker, I just wanted to chime in to add my support for patching the game to allow auto-downloads. The map files and the .tga files (the title-picture boxes you see in the game setup screen) are very small and should easily and quickly transfer between hosts and players for this game (unlike much larger and sometimes gargantuan first person shooter maps).[/quote] Yea totally agree. As a custom map maker myself , I find it difficult to convince people to download cu

@OP , for the novalith , most tend to manually cast it , simply because the picking of a target is such an important event , they like to be the one who presses the button. So I doubt many are going to bother with this complaint.

Yea TA is awesome. Infact the spirit of TA lives on in TA spring which you can play online for free and its free to download. I think numbers for that game, GMT 4pm - 250-300 players online.

The easiest fix is for games not to count if they end in the first 5 minutes. I would also like this because sometimes a Host has to restart a game.

[quote]I agree, to a point. Not that I was misled, but that I would like to see more done with the non-combat side of the game. We all have improvments we want to see, I think that diplomacy, trade, etc. is one of the weakest aspects of the game, and therfore could use some attention in future patches and expansions. That being said, I have seen amazing improvments in some games, thru the use of patches and exp. to the point of adding an entire new level of gameplay. (Crafting in D2 changed ever

Reply to Should Sins 2 be single-player designed only? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Agreed. But it didn't stop BioShock from being enormously successful.There are succesfull single player games. But RTS Players expect RTS games to have multiplayer or just ignore it.So in this case, it will correlate in higher sales, because the question "is there multiplayer?" is easier to answer to(yes/no) than "how deep is the singleplayer mode?" (pure perception).Also getting more depth in a game requires the whole game concept to be reworked(which can even go wrong, see MoO3). While

LOL yea , but he is spot on tho. I would like to see a move towards a more 4x style game maybe in Sins 2 , but not because I hate RTS ,on the contrary I love RTS, but there are other games to suit my RTS needs.

Should Sins 2 be single-player designed only? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Although I think Sins 1 has been great in the way its managed to cater for both multiplayer and singleplayer , I cant help but think that catering for multiplayer has severely limited the depth of the singleplayer expierence. Now what if Sins 2 had more depth to singleplayer. What would happen is that the game-time would be lengthened and probably slowed down inorder for players to manage the new depth. This would mean games lasting 20 hours. This will however make

Reply to Improving online sins , some suggestions. in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I think the most important jist is [B]"game-time"[/B] People complain about the game being soo long. Well why not reward game-time. A small rank symbol next to a players name goes a long way. Logically , rewarding game-time means people are willing to stay in-game even if they are losing.Having no "loss" rating also removes the fear of loss stats. I think keeping the wins record is ok. Just ditch the loss record. 0 Hours : Newbie - Newbie badge 1 Hours : Ensi

Ok the Problem with the vast majority , is that if someone in your team belongs to the minority and does crash , then you get effected just the same. Everyone is finding problems with minidumps, However the vast majority online are patient , and are eagerly awaiting the fix. Im sure the fix is very hard to make and I bet theres more then one bug causing the minidumps so im sure you want to nail all of them together rather then release a fix that only fixes half the problems.

Just a few ideas that will improve ICO and the online community. All suggestions are inspired by what goes on in TA spring - A very sustainable community that [b]does not rely on "competitive play" [/b], but on "addictive play". I see sins in the same way. This would be great to come with 1.1 and the summer holidays. 1) Have game-time be a statistic in your player profile. I.e Player - 40 Games , 23 hours 40 mins. This is an important statistic as it will disregard t
