    Default Battle Replays (or Stupidily Shouldn't be Unnecessary) Pol

    Detailed poll questions:

    Q1: Have you ever uploaded or downloaded a battle replay?

    Q2: Do you record and replay YOUR battles for your personal review?

    Q3: (STW/MTW vets only) Have Replays played a significant part in developing your battle skills?

    Q4: Does the capability to record and replay your battles add to your enjoyment of the game and/or to the value of your MTW2 purchase?

    Q5: Does the lack of a Record and Replay feature indicate that The Creative Assembly is not interested in cultivating and supporting a *Hard-Core* Community of Players?

    ===============================================================


    Am I the only one who find that CA is still asking about the importance of Replays inane?

    It makes one wonder, if 'they' are plays of their own game; and whether its important ANYTHING that said in these forums. Is anybody in charge? Because it really sounds like a 'group-think' environment.

    Where and WHO is the visionary leader? Do Carmack, Newell or Tayler *debate* and *question* or do think as Gamers think? Are they're any Gamers left at CA?

    Are Replays important? The question is insulting to any true gamer.

    Talented coders within CA, but where are the Gamers?

    Thank you for your partiticipation.

    Default Replays (consolidated thread)

    The Poll mechanism is a bit limiting, so I hope I've composed the Poll properly and usefully.

    Default Replays (consolidated thread)

    Do you record and replay YOUR battles for your personal review?

    I ask this question, because I can only speculate that the powers that be at CA must figure, incorrectly, that (proportionately) with STW/MTW there were so few Replay uploads that people must not utilize the feature.

    Personally, I figure that the majority record their replays, but never upload. Using them for their personal use.

    Dear CA:

    I believe it would be prudent to put in some 'code' that would anonymously track when a replay is being made, the number of replays, what province the battle takes place in, the ending battle statistics (then you'd have some hard data as to just how hard or easy battles are for players, as well as, possibly,[with permission] individuals' stats could be posted to a site allowing Single Players to compare battles stats.) I'm sure there's a lot more information that could be collected regarding replays and the game in general.

    Of course, this would have to be 'voluntary' on the part of each game owner.

    This way, in the future, you all wouldn't have to **wonder** if Replays are important.

    BTW, CA, a **true** gamer would know that replays are important.

    Default Re: Do you record and replay YOUR battles (for your personal review):

    I did on STW/MTW, not often but when it was a great battle I would & I'd like to be able to for RTW/M2TW.

    What I most liked was filtering through the battle stats in the log file trying to work out which line might have related to a particular soldier I had focussed on in one part of a fight (mostly only useful with Kensai or depleted units)
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    Default Re: Do you record and replay YOUR battles (for your personal review):

    Yea, with RTW I'll point out one of the major benefits is usually during a battle you were to busy with tactics to actually watch the fight. I'd love to be able to save the battles and then go back and watch my units whoop butt.

    I don't want to sound like a troll, cinsidering that I'm just a lowly "Member" while you're a "Senior Member"...

    But you just posted 6 topics with regards to replays in less than an hour :)

    But to answer your answer, yes, I do record replays in MTW when I remember to, so I hope we can do that with M2TW

    Default Have Replays played a significant part in developing your battle skils:

    To STW and/or MTW players ONLY:

    Have Replays played a significant part in developing your battle skils?


    [BTW, is there a way to put multiple questions in a Poll?]

    Default What adds to your enjoyment?

    To all, does the capability to record and replay your battles add to your enjoyment of the game and/or to the value of your MTW2 purchase?

    Default Re The Lack of Replays

    To all TWers:

    Does the lack of a Record and Replay feature indicate that The Creative Assembly is not interested in cultivating and supporting a *Hard-Core* Community of Players?

    Default Re: Re The Lack of Replays

    no it's because it doesn't work on the RTW engine

    and I answered in another thread if I'm correct
