It was alright for a little while, Can't really say "fun" just alright. When I first started, everything seemed legit, a fun game, to pass time on. I soon upgraded to a premium membership to maximize the carnage.
What a mistake that was.
I've had a few good laughs with some people in chat, or in games, but for the most part this game is just bad for my overall temperament. Very often I find myself in a game planning 5 or 6 moves ahead with what good play would be, only to be suicided on by some dice crazed idiot, or to run into a very unlikely streak of bad dice myself. Very rarely even a very good turn by an opponent who momentarily out-witted me... Even the occasional miracle dice by an opponent. The kind of dice where you are just like... "wow.... his 3 just really killed my 10 to break my bonus and hand him the game... wow... gg"
Mostly just suicidal idiots (see my negative feedback, like I said temperament)
Point being among the other problems this game has, the bottom line for me is that it isn't fun anymore. There are a few defining reasons, being the lack of real competition, the dice, the idiots, I could keep going but there isn't any real point...
This is not fun to me:
Over and over again.
No this isn't another dice whine thread, but I will point out that the dice are streaky. Sure you could argue that it evens itself out because it's like that for everyone blah blah blah, and why do the top ranked players stay on top, and I'll get to that. But as for the dice, it's really shitty when I'm making the winning sweep of the map, no possible way to lose, like 100 vs 15 type sweeps, and I don't lose a single unit, because I know I'm going to lose an important roll next in some other game lol!
As for the competition in this game, there is none. Not an ounce. I made it to only 2100 score playing with random people, random number of games, so you could argue "but Vyk!!! If it's so easy why don't you do it!?" The answer is simple. I can't find any partners
Almost every top player just does nothing but play the majority of their games teams. For good reasons too. To compete at the top you need to only play 8 player esc games, or team games... Period...
"blah blah blah I play tons of heads up matches"
Don't give me that, you play heads up private matches against other high ranked players so that if you lose, it's no big deal. Start a public game and play against a cook. I'd like to see that... Not much you can do in that position other than lose 100 points due to bad dice.
The point is, I enjoy (when dice allow) playing many types of games, not just the same 8 player esc games, and well I can't find any partners to play with (easily can be directed at my over all attitude with this site, and my general lack of patience with morons, so not blaming anyone, It's just my style)
I expect I'll see a lot of not very thought out responses, maybe even some "good riddance" and that's fine.
I work as a head in a major tribal casino, I see statistical improbabilities on a daily basis, but none the likes of the dice on this game.
So yeah, It was alright while it lasted. I'll finish out my games and be gone. Maybe in the future when said problems are fixed this game will be enjoyable once more.
Until then~
