Hey there guys,

Yeah im back, Sorry ive been off the map for a LONG time now. What with a big move to another city and a new job ect. I've finally found my DOW install CD's and i was wondering if any of my old TLSC mates wanna let me know whats been happening lately.

I might have been gone for too long for most of the active members to know who i am, and maybe even long enough for the older hands to have forgotten, if that is the case then Hi! :)

Looking foward to more DOW with you guys :)

I still remember you. :)

They really dumbed the game down though, so you should be back up to optimal pwning efficiency in no time.

We're rather scattered currently, however this may soon change. So if I cannot remember if you were TLSC before, are still interested with this place, there may be opportunities for folks to get reaquainted with the TLSC team for WA.

I've been trying to get back into it online, but every game I've tried is all about who techs the fastest, and can then spam the most. No variety in units, no attempt to micro, no semblance of skill. :(

Ilia jsut because you are sick and tired of the current state of WA does not mean every single post you make has to be directed towards how poorly you find the current state of things. WA is a vastly better improvement over DOW peroid.

Quietus the speed of the game was notched one or two steps up. You can no longer get away with massing tier1 units unless you are constantly harassing the enemy to ensure that they never can teach. The game is allot more tier2 centric and that is a problem for some people.

Mar 2, 2006, @ 02:05 PM

That is actually a matter of taste rather than balance. WA may be more balanced, but its teamgames - as Quet said - have turned into endless tech-spam fests. I was simply agreeing with him, understanding the experience he has gone through when he found what has the game turned into - the same experience I've gone through myself.

I can still squeeze fun out of it, so it's not a bad thing.

But before I remember seeing mixed armies, actual combat in tier 1, tier 2.

It might have just been that I wasnt playing 1v1, but it seems everyone just skips the tier 1/tier 2 units unless they are used for capping, fast techs to max, and then spams Fire Prism/Dreadnoughts+Termies/Obliterators/etc.

ChatMonitor-q

Mar 6, 2006, @ 02:06 AM

Im finding this to be the case as well, Its much to easy to get to tech 2 and 3, even if you harass the other players economy :(. They just need to rebalance it and make it harder and longer to get a tech upgrade, decrease the diccerence between the teir units, or ad another teir in between 1 and 2 to act as a buffer, so you can get SOME upgrades/units, but the uber ones are really saved for something like the 15th minute.

WA is a faster game, and anyone who goes back to DOW can attest to that. There needs to be safeguards on how fast one can raze a base. Once that is adressed this tier2 issue wont be a prevalent. As things like shees, hellhounds, dreads and defilers not to leave out falcons and wraithlords level bases far too quick. The game is much more balanced on a knifepoint where both players are trying their hardest to abuse or tech in allot of situations but I still find it more fun then tier1 spam to plas mass.
