Yeah, mics are important. If you have one, you instantly gain a good deal of credibility and are able to communicate better. It's hard to get to be successful without a mic, and I say that from firsthand experience.

Please provide evidence and explain.

That definitely isn't normal, not sure why you would post that.

Quite often there will only be two-three matches up at all. And when one of those is Asian and another is European, my options are very limited. Me and my friend actually did what you said a few times this week. We didn't hit the ready button, had to just go play something else.

Quote the part where I don't learn from my defeats.

I knew this point would come up, feel free to knock off a few thousand from that number, it doesn't really affect it that much.

You can say that I was whining, you're clearly going to say what you want regardless. I'd like to believe I was simply informing you of the reasons why your community is small and didn't grow at all much in that huge sale.


I knew posting here would bring about these kinds of responses, due to the fact that only veterens will search the forums, and veterans probably don't like having their attention brought to these facts. Basically, my thread was doomed from the beginning.

Maybe I'm illogical.

--- Quote from: Captain Magellan on March 05, 2013, 09:51:24 pm ---Ummm. Less players? The week before the purchase there was 17 to 30 players waiting on the busiest times when I played. Now there is usually over 1 hundred. I'd say MORE players my friend.

Stacked teams is either usually two things. One: you jumped into a clan match where a trained and experienced clan is practicing (sometimes against another clan). Or two: the culmination of ol' pals slowly getting on and joining games. Experienced players stack teams not because they want to crush all oncomers (what fun is that, it's the close hard won victories that are the sweetest), we stack 'cause we know each other, want to play with each other, and have a blast doing it (literally).

One factor that will help with stacking is mics. If you get GOIO I HIGHLY advise you purchase a mic. You'll be MUCH better and the game is just loads of fun. I played a game today with three guys I'd never met, all three relatively new. They had mics and IT. WAS. A. BLAST. I honestly had some of the best games today. :) I like to join teams and crews with mics, cause it's just fun to talk to people.

This may surprise you, but playing against your pals is actually still a form of playing with them.
There are clans that all stack up in a public game and just sit there waiting for... anybody? No comment.
Clan vs clan practice? Game passwords.


Next please.

I'm sorry, but you're in no position to judge the growth of the community. It wasn't that long ago that I was getting seriously worried about the size of the game's community. The recent influx of players from various promotions has reignited the game. I hadn't seen 300 players online since... Well... When the game launched in October.

If a clan is practicing for an upcoming tournament, they're going want all their players on the same team. They're preparing strategy and teamwork and all that, and battling against themselves won't do anything to help that.

As for clan vs. clan matches, if they aren't private, that's because they know there'll be open spots and want them to be filled. Why would that matter, anyways? The teams will probably be balanced regardless.
