Reply to Smurfing on Rebellion in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I got to see the Don_John name again and apparently it really didn't have a reset record, so I guess he hasn't figured out how to crack it yet.

Reply to Great news to players of Sins in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I will be surprised if Rebellion ever passes the 1000 players on at once mark. It would be completely unprecedented for any game in the Sins franchise. Of course, I hope that it becomes the next Starcraft, too, but I won't believe it until I see it. Heck, I think I'd be impressed if Rebellion were ever able to get to the point where it consistently had over 300 people online at once.

Smurfing on Rebellion in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

How do you smurf on Rebellion? In another post Quar confirmed that he was a player named Don_John (cute name), but I remember looking at that player's stats and it had significantly fewer games played than Quar's previous Games Played/Wins record. How was he able to do that without purchasing more than one account? How can you reset your GP/W record? I'm guessing that you change your Steam name and avatar and that there's a line that can be modified i

Is Wail of the Sacrificed overpowered? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

My understanding of the Advent Rebel ability, Wail of the Sacrificed, is that it does 20 damage for every point of population to all adjacent gravity wells. So, if a planet with a population of 180 is sacrificed (like an ice) it would do 3600 points of damage to all ships and structures in adjacent wells. That's worse than a missile barrage that affects the entire gravity well. Is this ability overpowered? Should researching it be a Level 8 ability and should the

[quote who="Yottsu" reply="2" id="3127817"]I believe that the Advent Rebel's "Wail of the Sacrificed" tec was just used. That planet's broadcast center just used it, thus the animation. This ability, once researched, can be used at any temple of communication, but it is wise to only use it on worlds that border a gravity well that belongs to an enemy or has an opposing player's fleet. Say that I have a planet with 100 population. If I use Wail of the Scarified, each population doe

Reply to Clans hmm? in Sins Clans Sins Forums

The biggest problem is the online player counts and the percentage of people online who only do comp stomps. Until the online player counts increase substantially and until a larger percentage of them are playing against people, it will be impossible to have a clan scene because you can't have clans without a player base.

There's not much going on for Vanilla and Entrenchment other than a few comp stomps. You can find 4v4 and 5v5 games on the Diplo server every day, but note that you'll get stomped for your first 50 games as you learn how to play against real people.

Reply to Get rid of super weapons... completely in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I suspect that the reason this has become an issue all of the sudden (and wasn't before the release of the Rebellion Beta) is that the TEC Loyalists can build novaliths with only 6 military labs and only one piece of research. On top of that, the second piece of research allows them to be spammed out. This problem will go away if the novalith research is returned to its proper place behind missile improvement research. At that point they could keep the research that de
