What happened? | Forums

Man what happened? All the games I get now are either hopeless noobs or people who kill and dash, and somehow avoid losing. Meanwhile you check the leader boards and sure enough there are people with 370 something wins and 0 losses... ya right. Endwar needs to travel back in time, I miss playing against good players (both kiilers and non-killers) who made the game fun; now its just pointless.

The appeal of a console RTS wore off, horrible support and a extravagant amount of bugs will hasten that quite a bit. As far as the forums go I like the new sarcastic mod though.

Yea you're more likely to get games on the weekend if you want to play. I got off 3 games on my EFEC, 3 on my SGB and 2 on my JSF today. More than I've been able.to score all week.

not that new... it's just that reported posts get sent to all of us if there's no designated mod for the forum. i just happened to react at that moment... so yeah... that's pretty much it. cheers!

Pretty much. What I don't get it is how is it every single game I get now is always rigged. In the last 10 1v1 games I've played I should have won 9 of them. My PS3 kept freezing up, 2 out of those 9 times I give up and quit after my ps3 froze for 10+ mins. Out of the other 7 times I only received 1 win (my opponents dashed every time). The other game that I lost was up against a really good player, and because I don't dash when Im going to lose was the only game that played out to its conclusion. How can people do this? I just don't get what is going on, and on top of all this its not fun to play anymore and I wasn't even killing units they just left seconds before the game ended, and somehow didn't get the loss? And these were all 1v1s, I know 4v4 can be extremely glitchy even though I doubt very much that you can even get one now. So in short I want to know how people keep cheating me out of a win, and am I also the only person who will actually take a loss now? Seriously.

Ya after about a year after the game came out thats always been the story. That and I miss playing up against some of the true elite players in the game in 1v1s and 2v2s, those games would go on for hours, not just 10 mins and that to me was why ew is such a good game.

Your game froze up completely? Was this against the same person both times I haven't heard of that ability in this particular game but it's a favorite method in others. This game freezes or stalls enough on it's own though it could just be coincidence.

And this generation is the era of subtle cheats, across the industry people are using fewer and fewer game breaking exploits now and instead using the more advanced and readily available technology to covertly modify the way games play and make it difficult to tell whether there is BS going on on just lag(moslty in shooters) or the like.

Different players. Basically what I want to know is how do people not get credit for a loss for dash-boarding? Their losses are well after the 3 min time limit as well. My ps3 doesn't always freeze up permanently, basically twice it did that out of 10 times, and the other 7 it just said the person i was playing left, but I didn't get a win and they didn't get a loss.

Assumably it's due to the way ubisoft manages the peer to peer connection for a match, when one players connection is terminated instead of determining who dropped out and crediting that person with a loss it just nullifies the match. That may very well have been by design with them not wanting disconnected players to take a loss or the other to get an easy win and they just lacked the forsight to see it's exploitable potential.

At least it usually gives the remaining player credit and unit experience, though supposedly if the connection drops only partially and is restored after it times out it will tell both the lagging player and the normal one that the other left and give both credits and XP.

Well thanks for the advice. And I've just finally noticed something strange about it, whenever I am the first person to trigger defcon is when it freezes. Maybe the person isn't leaving after all, but if I can't trigger defcon I'm basically screwed, because it happens both when I defeat enough units to force it and also when I capture over half of the uplinks. Guess my endwar days are over because endwar/ps3 has found a way to do what most ew players can't do, beat me in every single game regardless of what happens in the game
