To those playing v1.7...

[Vladiator]

Why are you all in locked lobbies... Are you dumb? You making out with each other in there? Open it up! No reason not to. You really think kids are gonna know how to access it? Just open them up and help give this game some life...

If I had to guess I'd say the locked ones were league players or something. Largely the 1.7 community is more than willing to get more players on board but it might require them knowing you're coming.

I'd go there and ask around. You'll get live feedback and probably get into a match quickly, or at least get shared on a schedule or some passwords to lobbies.

Thanks for the pointer.

I don't know why either, that is the reason why I seldom play 1.7 now. It is always 1-2 password protected lobbies with only 2 players in them. The regulars I know of all get bored and switch to other games except bigwing and toby and they always lock their lobbies nowdays. I usually host a game and play one or two maps solo if no one join then I would just quit and play something else with friends.

Literally what I've been doing. I don't like "hardcore players" for this reason. That, and they never relax and keep sweating, further keeping people away from it. So maybe it's a blessing they're in locked lobbies. Man, I sure love communities that complain and do literally nothing about it. They have the access to the better game, yet they'd rather complain in forums about it instead of just playing it.

It's worth noting that my machine couldn't run 1.7 well. 1.6 was excellent, but when 1.7 hit the performance drop was bad enough to compound into the realms of unplayable after a couple maps. I'm probably not alone.

1.8 was originally called the performance update. Improving performance it did. I can't exactly argue with that. I would never have traded the features we lost for that performance though.

Bigwing and I do play in a locked lobby often because we are working out the maps and trying to figure strategical ways of playing and we dont want to hold up the games for other players. We have had several open rooms lately and very rarely any one joins. we even post them on discord to let people know when we are going in and if we have a password ( you get more options and more choices of maps with a password), but we give the password out for others to join. every now and then someone will but it us usually just the two of us.

on a side note, Bigwing and I play the custom maps way more then the classic maps and an open room tends to bring in players that dont have the custom maps so we are only allowed to play the classics

Which Discord do you post in? "Onward v1.7 Players" is extremely toxic so I bounced. But I'm in the official Onward discord and I post in #lfg every time I play.

tbh, I'm only down to do Co-Op since PvP would be nasty against... someone as seemingly expert at this like you. But I didn't mean in that quote that just because you're good = bad. Just frustrated at what I see in Discords vs reality.

But yeah, that classic map situation really is just a symptom of a dead game. Same thing with DLC. Best you could do is add classic players and send them that github that automatically downloads the maps and hope they do it. That's how I got on board.

I'm sorry about your disability. Maybe I'll rejoin v1.7 discord and I'll just stay out of channels not #lfg. Thanks for letting us know.

Hey, those bots are pretty nasty, so I would understand you either way. Looking forward to seeing you in Co-Op then!
