View Full Version : Lobby Chat
As of tonight...Lobby Chat is back.
Let's hope we don't lose it again.
Excellent.
As you say though I hope it doesn't go again.
*runs off to check it out.*
Well lets hope we do keep it working.
Last night I saw the typical swearing again and the culprits being warned by other players to *cut it out or we'll lose the chat again*
But asa chat was opened, some players started arguing, telling racist or nazist remarks and some more. I think chat monitor should be more active.
I think it was problem in rtw chat - no one guarded it.
Okay I'm back from checking, ended up playing loads of games. The standards are so differents its unreal, I've been massacred, slaughtered but then again I also carried out my own exterminations in a couple of games.
I think there needs to be some sort of rating system on the games, or you give yourself a tag, perhaps you EARN yourself a tag 'Newbie', 'Getting the hang of it', 'Intermediate', 'Expert', 'God'. I hope to see something like this implemented in M2TW because I want to play somebody my ability. It's annoying when somebody (this happened earlier) sent elephants ONTO my phalanx head on, but then again I got flanked myself quite a few times. I tried the 'cheese' put phalanx in a square around archers, but I spread myself too thin and they broke throught the wall. Still, I wont do it again an so I'm only getting better.
I think I'm in the 'Getting the hang of it'/'Intermediate'.

Good luck in your quest to become better Sovereign. :2thumbsup:
Yeah, good luck! I'm probably what you could call an average player, but capable of "playing under extreme poverty" for a while. :smile:

Soverign I know what you mean. When I started MTW MP I always felt obligated to tell the hoster that I was a newbie. Without fail they said no problem and even helped me out. Now that I'm going to be playing RTW I'm hoping I get the same positive response.

There are more than a few MP clans I would call honorable and happy to try and help newbies get started. The MP side of the game is fairly deep with strategy and tactics, and mastering basic gameplay and tactics is a must if you wanna move from beginner to intermediate to good player to expert. ~:cool:
PM still doesnt work 'properly'. :( Cannot chat to more than one person in a chat.
To those who need a little help in the MP game, there are players who are prepared to help.
bogeys18 and Sovereign and all others.
Use the link in my Sig. and take a look in The Academy. Some usefull information for players new or fairly new to the game.
as i predicted
chat has been turned off
Lol, I'm sorry but that is just rediculous. Why turn it on then back off 24 hours later. I'm sorry but I hope they feel stupid. I understand they have reasons, but perhaps it may have improved, 24 hours is not long enough to see if it is being used well or not.
The chat turns on when the GameSpy server is rebooted. That's probably what happened, and it took CA 24 hours to get it turned back off.

I see, CA is forgiven then...for now :oops:

As much as I respect CA's reasons for banning the chat, it still irritates me a lot. No players to play with, and no methods to arrange games with players you want to play with..
Good luck in your quest to become better Sovereign. :2thumbsup:
Well I think i am already improving quite a bit. After my first to encounter with 1vs1 where I got slaughtered, I returned to them today and fielded a nice balanced Seleucid army against a Julii army, my super cool cataphracts got into stationary fighting against his cavalry, meanwhile my silver legionaires and phalanxes battled it out against his cohorts. It was a dead lock between the infantry, however my cataphracts eventually after losts of pulling out and smashing back in won the cavalry battlem, so I then quickly set about sending the phracts into his remaining infantry from behind, it worked a treat!
I'm really loving MP :)
Also I've been winning a few 2.vs2s as well. Still marred by the odd massacre against a pro, but only making me better :)

Nice Sovereign. Glad ur liking MP. I don't think many SP guys really know how fun and challenging MP reallyis.
Spread the good word...
~:cool:
Yeah, me and my clan have been experimenting today with the admins of the TWL rome ladder. Using a new ruleset that actually has allowed me to enjoy RTW mp more than i have for months :)
If anyone is interested in these ladders then you can find them at www.teamwarfare.com they are small at the moment but hopefully they`ll grow
P.S chat needs to be turned back on pronto, so what if people are swearing in there, i dont support that but you can simply use the ignore function :wall:
Not so much the swearing as the rascist remarks that are causing the problems.

Yeah it is very fun, until you come up against the occassional arrogant fool. Take today, I was happily in a 1on1 siege, me being the attacker. I hit him with onagers, skirmishers and archers however he had like 5 onagers inside and was pounding me out, they took out quite a bit of my armies, not so much through his tactical skill but by the look that i was firing my onagers at his, in n attempt to knock them out, he then did the same and [by luck] took mine out very quickly. The door was open after an onager attack so I sent my javelin throwers to attack his phalnxes guarding the entrance, he replied by sending out cav, which i countered with my cav. After not alot happening except me occassionally taking out one of his pikemen with a javelin I got bored, so I through lthree rams at the walls (wooden wall) and attacked. I split his forces and it was fairly even. However I was the Romans, and when one of the gaps in the walls was bottlenecks a third of my army got slaughtered on the end of a pike, but I was doing fairly well in the other two gaps. But eventually it just wasn't enough as he brought the guys tht defeated me on one area over to assist other gaps, I was fought back and defeated. Fair enough well done him, but it even appeared on the results as something like 'close defeat'. So I was surprised and a little angered when the fool sent the following message: 'ha, u suk badly'. I had a nice reply all typed out, but remembering my CoH status I simply hit escape and left for the lobby. Moral: maske sure you dont get arrogant fools when playing mp.

Well Done Sovereign :bow:
It takes "real" character to walk away (by far the hardest thing to do).
You have set an example for us all to follow...

02-03-2006, 19:39
Nice, try saying TY next time and you'll somehow please yourself :)
When fighting phalanx face to face, their are too easy to kill, once you get close to them, I can tell you what you can simply do to slaughter them with an 'archer' unit, but I'd like you to figure it out yourself ;) (How can you get too close to their men?).
Anyway, a very good example you set amongest many of us, and I hope you keep the track. Btw: When do you play? So maybe I get to have a couple of games with you ;)

Sovereign you are so right. I also want these ratings and maybe a display of their record wins/losses. It would help the good players avoid a pointless waste of their time, and it would help me find someone to learn the ropes with.
Back on topic.....
The Lobby chat is still broken.
Dont think it will be fixed again :wall:

I heard chat is back today. Let's see if it is removed by CA or if it's another GS server restart.

It probably will be removed again soon as there's been no announcement on it. Though I do wonder if people stopped posting that chat is back up whether they would actually not take it back down again.
Yeah its been back for a couple of days now. I didn't spot any 'abuse'.
Apart from one guy getting called a racist by one particular fool. All he said was 'what country are you all from?'.
Heh....
Except for one *little boy* ranting in CAPITALS the chat is being used very sensibly.
Ok, I just had a really cool battle that I wanted to share on mp.
So I'm the Alemanni, the rules are 5 of each unit max, 2vs2. I have a few bezerkers, achers and golden band giving me a solid infantry core. Now I was up against the Huns, so I armed myself with five mounted noble cavalry units. The other enemy is the WRE, and my allies are the WRE rebels.
The game starts off and me and my ally have a nice hill, so we play the waiting game and set up camp. Then however my ally 'has to go', so I'm stuck with the damn AI, up against two human counterparts. The AI goes charging down the hill, taking loads of onagers blasts in the process. I snuck nicely down the edge of the hill while the enemy easily took out the ais infantry, lookily however the AI Cataphracts managed to wreak a little hoavoc around the line. Then however they where about the turn on my inf, so I sent my cavalry to back up my allies cav, taking out the onagers and archers, avoiding the infantry, I didn't want a slog fest I couldn't win.
So anyway, then after a while I send my infantry and beserkers in, they tore through the WRE lines, however then the Huns, who I would have usally expected my ally to take care of, charged time after time with cavalry. I kept taking them down, but not without losing many of my own men. Then thney gathered all their troops together and sent in all the WRE/Huns had left. I lost, but it turned out only a few soldiers where left. The enemy called me 'amazing' lol, now that a huge overstatment and I'd still get slaughtered by a many, but still. Considering I was with the AI, I think I did quite well :D

Well how much can we say 'chat is back. woot.'. But anyway warman post it in the thread i started for talking about mp battles.
By the way, 28k is quite a bit of money. Might I suggest 12.5K denari :2thumbsup:

Maybe a little less flaming and a bit of patience would go a long way. From what I understand, lobby chat was removed by CA. Should we wonder why?

Yes, I see a point. Last night, at the lobby, I saw a person impersonating another and some heavy political raving.

[BHC]KingWarman88[KT and [BHC]KingWarman8888[KT] are both my usernames,aren't hard to mis,but....
I was on, 1 day before chat was ban,and I was on
[BHC]KingWarman88[KT
someone, I flame his ass out later when i found out who he was, he came on as
[BHC]KingWarman8[KT
with just ONE 8, I had two. he began saying "I'm warman, I'm gay" this and that. days before, some one ipersonated me, and today, someone logged on in chat lobby as "Warman_sucks"
it like, if CA doesn't wanna do nothing, it like, I flame and everyone else flame, banning chat won't do good. ok, get 5 people, ban them, and warn the rest of the flamers "if you flame, you going to join these 5 games on the hall of shame" ban the flamers for good, and add them to a Hall of Shame then,just a thought..

That's the problem. No one can be banned under the current system. Individual users might ban from their games, but you can always make a new username and join again. It's that simple.

Hi Warman good to see you here m8. You've really made some strides with your behavior, and I hope as probably all here do, that that trend would continue. As to your question:
but if CA doesn't care about MP, what stoping us from flaming then??
The answer would be common courtesy and good sense. Don't flame Warman because 1 former flamer not doing it anymore makes the community just a little bit better m8... :2thumbsup:
Cheers Warman... ~:cool:

Hey m8,
I really like it at .org. I actually feel welcomed here,pretty cool,and they even have .ORG Awards aslo,which is aslo cool. but I do miss my Spam Award/Noob Award on .net, Charlge,lol:laugh4: :laugh4:
but anyhow,
yea, but it like, if people don't flame with me, I won't flame at all, but I don't like flaming period.99.9% of the time I flame only to defend myself..

It's only your history of a flamer that grabs yo all that headache. Someone say n00b to you, thank him and continue your life. By that you'll finish a conversation that may not end if continued.

yea I do, I learn that the Hard way back in the Summer time Wish, but some people might have two CD keys for example, and instead of going on the CD key that they actually are using/on, they might use the second one they never use before so PID doesn't pick it off, trust me,it annoying..
