Thoughts from a MP Player

Hello guys


Its my first time writing in this forum even if i read frequently the articles.I play sins from day one and i must say its my favourite game.Its my favourite game despites all the problems the game had all the years.Minidumps and desyncs are are problem that the developers had to take away years ago but with no luck.Balance on the other hand is more complicated and more diffucult to fix.I am 32 and believe me i played lot of games in my time.Santly not any more cause i got 2 kids and a wife that screams.The balance in all RTS is problematic.I played starcraft 1 and 2  and i made it in diamond - masters league easy.That why i stop playing cause all you need to do is learn to play by the chronometer.Learn 3 openings and micro that all.Also in all games are ways to cheat look cannon rush.The same thinks is for  sins when the games start.in all strategy games the openings are few at best.But sins shines later in the game.its like chess, only in mid-end game you can develop different strategies.I write today cause i see a disturbance in the Force.Its the first time i see in a game forum people divided in groups.We have SP people and Mp people figthing.I say WTF.Before i write about balance its insane not to be ladder system or that you could smurf.This thinks kill the game community.Now regarding balance i dont understand why the devs dont listen the players who play the game in top category.Ok some guys may push it with behaviour issues but are top  players and their opinion is crusial.We talked about kol about radiance about revellation about premade maps and many other thinks.For instance my opinion is vasari will always be better as for bombers have phase missiles moving sbs overssers hangars instant travel and more.I dont say OP cause their not.But with two equal good players the game most of the times will go to vasari.Also a  think that complicates the game  is the feed.Usually RTS games balanced around 1V1.Now that have top players play 5v5 and you can make lets say 30 overssers and a jumping sb by feed in no time and the vasari player have an advantage.The tec player gets feed and make orgovs,np corvettes kills orgovs like flies.If i were me making the game i would go by making support cruisers different.For instance where the advert hurts in the hulls? i would give them a unit like overseers or the vasari got low shields? i give them a unit like iconus guardian and so on.Its i obvious that when you got problem somewhere you make a unit to cover the disadvantage.All military armys work that way.For closure i must say one think.Give credits to top players in MP community and listen to them even if some times are ..... cant find the word sorry.Cause i played over 1500 games with guys who think and  play like machines and i love their  play style. Never see guys playing that good in a coplex game like that (ok except  supreme commader guys).I understand their frustasion.I have the same.But is just a game and as any games have flaws.Dont take it that seriously..


 YP:Thanks for reading and sorry about the english and the long post.They are many more thinks that i wanted to write for balance and other stuff  but hate typping.See you guys on ICO

ya. the lack of decent multiplayer support is kinda a bummer.

Maybe now that rebellion is done, and they got lots of $$$ they can afford to make it better.

I feel like it's more "holy crap we could get more money if MP was better" than "ah, now we can finally afford to improve MP"...but what do I know...

not talking about balance. talking about support. like the ability to observe games, a ranking system. things like that.

Sorry I knew what you were talking about, I just mispoke...what bothers me most is that they made a long list of reasons to go on steam, many of which were things that would only help MP...now I'm not trying to stir up a steam debate, it just irks me...why argue for the necessity of steam in making this game have better MP when you don't actually change MP?

Well. There were plans, (read some year old posts or so) they just never quite made it in. hopefully they can now not worry about release, and fit in some of these things they promised.
