I see my so called whining as a passion for the game, I know and what this game is capable of and I have been addicted to the total war series from the start, that's why I have issues with RTW, because in it's present state it's absolute pants!!!

This game without bugs gives me countless hours of fun and I feel a real sense of community spirit which you don't get with any other game...

I want never gets, but I think this is a need!

Unfortunately Shingen they rarely do listen to us, I have been playing Total War games since the Shogun demo, there are only a handful I guess of players from the early days who still remain (Magy, Amp, Kocmoc, Tosa, Paolai, Jun, Elmo some of the Elites and maybe a few more forgive me if ive forgotten anyone).

I recall Clan Takiyama did patch testing for MTW and some of what we relayed to Creative Asssembly was totally forgotten and the community was unhappy about the mess at the time.

How much community research they did when creating Rome? one of my Clan colleagues was recently saying that they had hardly done any and we are now seeing the results of that lack research in the online communitys thoughts of the state of the online game.

I also play massive online games in the past ive fought my way through the Rubi Kai world of Anarchy Online, piloted through Eve and currently I shoot and explode my way through Planetside all these games are of course subscription games, but because of this the developers have to listen to their gamers otherwise the game dies and they subsequently lose money it a shame that all games developers dont listen to thier players like the developers of these particular games do, they are constantly updated with fixes and improvements all we are asking for is a few changes that woulnt have been nessecary had they asked us in the first place about the good things and bad things about MTW and Shogun online games.

D6Veteran laggy 4v4s?

Seems your connection is poop m8 if you played laggy 4v4s on MTW I played hundreds of them with no lag.

How would you explain the Clan Wars Competition that was a 4v4 competition? and ran for nearly 2 years I suggest you look at the CWC site.

You seem to know very little about the Totalwar online community but have a lot to say.
Can you honestly say hand on heart you are pleased with the speed of foot missiles? missiles that outrun heavy cav and kill cav archers in melee?

You havnt had an active part in this forum untill recently despite playing since Shoguns demo, did you play online prior to Rome? you are entitled to your views but the game online sucks eggs, I played 4 games last night and not even mentioning any in game bugs 3/4 were uncompleted due to out of sync problems of the oponents.

Rome is an appalling mess online thats my opinion and the opinion I would guess of most of the names in this thread and I dont ever recall meeting you on Totomi.
When MTW came out there was a huge influx of new players the ones that stayed spent lots of time improving the game and modding it and so on, the way Rome is online currently a lot will leave before its sorted out, its mainly the loyal online community who have a feeling of being let down, if CA sort a lot of it out then fairplay to them.If they dont id be surprised if it has the lasting appeal of the previous 2 games online.

My guess would be that you have something to do with CA or Activision as you are very touchy to any criticism about Rome and you appear to know nothing about online 4v4s which to me suggests you know little about the online aspect of prevoius Total War games(just to let you know Shogun ran 4v4s with no lag also), the fact remains CA have shocked a lot of the community by changing and leaving out basics of the totalwar games from Rome there woulnt be a petition with over 200 names if they hadnt would there? one which you have signed? Id retract your signature if I was you.

Well D6Veteran would hardly be connected to CA/Activision and make this post would he? https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=37247

I know some people complained about 4v4 but AFAIK they were minority as 4v4 was very popular. Some settings for the gfx card could be the explanation as it did help some but nevermind that now.

Speed is a matter of opinion I guess. I dont like the current speed as its more a clickfest than tactics now. Some like it some hate it and I dont know what the majority thinks about it.

All I know is that we have seen several mods come out right after RTW got released that slowed it down..we didnt see any mods that made MTW quicker did we?

It just seems to me that a lot of people like to argue, It's obvious that the game speed is crap along with the way the game plays too, this is why I decline to get involved coz peeps tend to spout utter tripe!

Half the time I even wonder if they are even playing the same game, my guess would be that they have never played MTW never mind STW. Who got lag on 4v4? I never got lag on 4v4 unless some peep with bad graphics card settings or connection problems joined the game. RTW needs a lot more things fixing than just buggs for god sake! I'm not listening to any more shit from peeps telling me that this game is fine other than the bugs...
