OMG, played WoW last night with some friends, horrible lag, but thought it was just me. My friends said they also all had terrible times with their connections lately. Another friend told me the same thing via email 2 days ago (wanted me to come over and try fixing it). I'm having odd problems/lag too. This is very strange. . . [e digicons]*_*[/e]

Reply to Entrenchment - February 4 final release? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The Devs are great, and I'm no game developer, but I'd be shocked if they are able to get it bug free and balanced in just 2 weeks; and I really WANT it to be released that soon, beleive me. Who knows, perhaps the next beta is really is huge and polished. But still, lots of balancing to do I would think.

Reply to Entrenchment Update in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I and my friend have the same "problem" Lost, but it was mentioned in other threads, and we just figured it would get worked out slowly as the beta progressed. But we do get "slide shows" towards the end of our games. I'm guessing it had something to do with all the mines; we stopped using mines (and never play with/against Varasi), and it seemed to help quite a lot. As for desinks, I and my friend were talking, and we dont recall having one (via Lan games) in a very long

Is there a blacklist for people that use Neo-Nazi; KKK; White Supremist; Talaban language? Better put Ballz at the top of that list. . . Mods, I request a shut down of this link please (and everyone can thank Ballz for that).

Reply to Entrenchment Update News? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I only want an update cause, as it is now, we can't really "beta test" any more till the next patch; we've already read or written every bug we've seen, and the game is semi-unplayable due to major bugs and play imbalences (which,of course, how it should be, since it's a beta). So we are just playing WotLK and checking these forums morning and night [e digicons]:)[/e] So we can start the next round of playing/testing.

Reply to King's Bounty in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Take it from me, the VERY best life decision I made was to make sure I picked a life-mate that played computer games too. Getting to play games like Sins or WoW without the sneaking, guilt, and nagging is good, but having your spouse like it, and even play them with you sometimes is priceless. (as opposed to my other friends, who have to treat playing computer games the same as if they are having an affair). "Honey, is that an&nb

Reply to So why are people so serious about stat? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

According to the OP's stats, there are 49 "missing" games, which means the guy he played "magically" gets disconnect when he loses (except for 1 loss) every time. I like how Surpreme Commander does it: You can chose to play a rated or casual game; I played casual 90% of the time, if you play rated, you KNOW your going to get scored, and dissconnects are noted in your score. So the guy above would have a 50% dissconnect rate on his score, and if you also notice he has a 99%

Reply to Serial Key -i don't have one! in Technical Sins Forums

If you have the receit, you can just take it back to the store, and tell them they sold you a game without a serial code. At the store near me, they take them off before they put them on the shelf so nobody can read/copy them, then, they give them to you after you buy the product.

Reply to Blacklist of Players in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I've only tried 1 team game (it got de-synked or something), but about 9 1v1 games, so never really had to deal with all the team aspects. When I was losing, I would always say "I surrender but would you like me to fight to the end, or hit the surrender key"?. If I was winning, well, I was afriad to say anything ; I would want to say "feel free to surrender", or something like that, but man, that sounds so arrogant; but I don't want t

I pre-bought Entrenchment before it came out, so, I had No idea it would even be displayed for your "average" customer; it really does not say "beta" anywhere where you can get it/buy it?

That would be perfect, the 15th, I have friends comming up that would love to help playtest via my lan. Last time they were over, the mines put them off playing, but I'm betting that will be better with the next update.

Agent of Khamara: Would'nt they put YOU on this black-list if you just up and quit like that? And was'nt that Snoop guy that's in the list the one that was trying to warn others about a clan that constantly pauses the game for 90 mins if they are loosing? Why is he on the list? This blacklist thing is a bit scary. . .

Reply to Norway ... Country that did not make it into the movie Sicko. in Everything Else Sins Forums

We have to ask ourselves here in the USA: "Should the son of a garbage man have the same health care as the son of a millionare?". Everyone here has the same right to the police; firemen; heck, even garbage pick up and mail, but somehow medical care is "for profit" here. That's why there are claim adjusters, and that's why claims are denied all the time, to make more profit. That's why most Dr.s will throw perseciptions at you if you come in with a hangnail.

Another thing that has not been brought up: If starbases move, then the range supremacy that Missle Cruisers enjoy is pretty much lost. Most people have said "I never build missile ships", but how many have had a self destruct take out most their fleet? Having half you fleet taken out by a SD, then having to put your flaming tale between your legs and run when the enemy fleet jumps back in to vacume up your crew is a startling stratagey splash in the face; Missle Cruisers can stop

Reply to A vote i say! I need lots of post to be effective in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I'm just voting on 1 & 2; Nay on 1, not all should move, Nay on 2, not a PJI, but a "Jump Gate Barrier" or "Phase Jump Nullifier", high lvl def tech to research, expensive, takes up a slot, stops all jumps to friendly planets by enemy (uses Antimater). Even if SB range is trippled AND they could all move, you can still skirt your fleets around them with minor losses, not a great "Space Cork" for 17k. . .

Reply to How do you get around mines in entrenchment? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm guessing they will at least extend the range a scout sees mines greatly too. And don't worry Leman, there seems to be some bugs in mines that make them "undestroyable" sometimes, it will get ironed out at the Beta goes along I'm sure.

OH! Building them from Cap Ship Factories is even better! That would help even more in making them more "special" than spammable. It did seem a bit odd that something so huge that also turns into a starbase does not have to worry about the "Maximum Clearance" warnings. . . "This is the Starbase Constructor captain calling any Cobolt frigate in range; we are having engine problems and need to be tied to your roof for transport to enemy well. . . " </

Much longer SB contruction (especially in enemy wells) is needed, yes, and would help, yes, but, I can still pull the "Starbase Weeds" trick regaurdless. Make a bunch of SB constructors, send them each to a seperat enemy well at the same time, and even though it would take longer, the enemy still can't be everywhere at once. Two solutions: Increase Fleet Cap of SB constructors to about 20-50 each; that stops the SB weeds right there. And/or, make it so the a SB

Reply to Proof That Entrenchment Will Be Updated Soon! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There will be multiple patches/updates; double didget's maybe before the final release, so we just have to "try" (and it's oh so hard) to be patient for the next round of beta testing.
