Finally changed my review for AoE2:DE to "not recommended"

[Krosis Priest]

Enough is enough, and the devs' hard work has successfully turned me from "enthusiastic supporter" to giving back the exact same "♥♥♥♥ you" they have been giving to the majority of their playerbase for a long time now.

I recommend doing the same to everyone who has been waiting for the devs to finally fix all the broken things about single player and thought that reporting the same issues over and over (with proof) will finally do something, and instead got improvements to multiplayer and Extreme difficulty played by five people training for ranked. Oh, and free bugs with every update that affect even how hard it is to select units and buildings at this point. And RoR with completely broken single player on release.

You've made a pretty much brilliant remake of a brilliant game actively infuriating to play most of the time for most people who play it not just because you're trying to make it the new espurts bandwagon. Congratulations.

Now please ban me again for saying bad word instead of the people actively harassing beginner players. I will be very very sad.

It does suck when single player gets ignored by devs. For me AOE is a fully single player love of mine. That's why I've played so little of AOE2 HD, AOE1-2DE. They're just alright.

It's been almost 4 years since the release and there is still a bug related to custom campaigns/scenarios that hasn't been fixed up to this day.

When playing on a map downloaded from the mod section or made by yourself and then you make a save and reload it, it'll cause an annoying bug that prevents you from progressing through that map after finishing it. The objectives still works fine, but it doesn't show the post-mission story slides, you don't get a completion medal and also you can't click on "restart", because instead of starting the mission from beginning as intended, it'll automatically load your last save or autosave.
YOU HAVE to complete the mission on your first try without saving it to progress through the story and need to go back to the main menu to properly restart the mission.

yea I agree. The newest patch introduced hotkey and lobby filter bugs. If only they didn't listen to the SP and worked on adding more civs to MP. 1 civ only to MP, but SP get 3 campaigns. Outrageous. Enough is enough and I will not stand for this. Why are they listening to <10% and adding new campaigns to RoR. Its just stupid. They need to get their priorities right which is the MP community. MP community is 90% of the player base, but the devs continue to listen to like 5 SP that continue to play the same campaign for the 100 time. Stop adding in new campaigns, fix the MP. Leaving a negative review as well until then.

Edit: I am trolling btw.

When the devs allow the spammy 11 taunt, so that people who are quiet all game say 11 after winning (at like 800 ELO when youre not even using a build order).

Very toxic, Considering a negative review right now.

Who wants to spend 40 minutes making villagers, only to get snowballed, for someone to sit there saying 11 after a game, not looking at your base in after game, just mocking you, as you didnt FC like they wanted.

I had 1000 ELO players telling me gg wp, then 800 elo players vs the same strat and say 11 like toxic.

This isnt the LAN days anymore

Also most rest of taunts LAN days, so people say 11 taunt only

It's not fun at all to tryhard quietly all game, then spam 11 after a win. It's the most toxic competition I've ever been in. At least the pros can talk smack during the game for a joke and not be quiet unless they get a win.

[76561199509385856]

When you need to ban people after they abuse you - so people call you "cancur" avoiding the filters. Reported in game. Wouldnt be surprised if player still online playing.

So you need to play with the toxic chat open then ban people after they be toxic and not just close chat and play.

[76561199509385856]

When the chat notification is more in your face than the being attacked notification...

I made friends before AoE 3 chat, but now the chat is usually just 11, and less of the time gg/gl hf.

Fun thing is that its quite the opposite. Most players play SP. I also only play MP, but you should not spread lies. I guess T90 and others already talked about the SP dominance in AOE2

Single players is the majority. They should add new campains and coop to the civs.

I guess its hard to pickup if you don't have the context of Krosis post history. You weren't meant to take that post seriously. It was me poking fun of Krosis's tendency to always blame the MP community for every problem that comes up in SP. That post was suppose to highlight that RoR was actually geared toward SP. SP getting new campaigns + more incoming campaigns was proof of this. MP wasn't even going to get romans in MP initially so how are the devs focusing on the MP community here exactly?

He also talks about bug problems. We get them in MP too and there are some bugs that are shared like path finding. Its one thing to think the devs are incompetent. Its annoying when all he does is blame the dev's incompetence on a portion of the playerbase.

ok, got it. havent read the other posts to catch sarcasm

[dannyc2012]

They should name this game "Age of cavalry".

Had to leave a negative review because there are many bugs like units wont fire. Unit movement speed bugs, Instacovert bug, No conversion bug (Hera was trying to convert a Shrivamsha Rider with 2 monks and even after 5-10 seconds wouldn't convert. That was hilarious and he had to gg)

[Mia Wallace]

WTF It doesnt matter if you play SP or MP. Devs shoud do their work and test more before they pump out unnecessary dlc's. Just stop breaking the game and focus on bug fixes.

11 is not toxic and I think AoE2DE community is actually pretty nice. But I played a lot CS:GO and that is no comparison.

They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the pathing really good!
