Forge of Empires

[Denzark]

Right, OKAY, no duff, gen and all that. I made the mistake of falling for TV advertising and signing up to a free browser game called Forge of Empires. Any other BoLSters playing this at the mo?

[Bitrider]

Cirgard?

[Denzark]

Cirwha?

[Psychosplodge]

Nope. Planetside 2 is my current free to play game at the moment, and if not that team fortress 2.

[scadugenga]

Still World of Tanks for me.

I went with a social life instead.

MM - fair one! Managing to game and paint which makes a change as the production stuff takes an age.

Scuddy I fancy WoT but I won't pay for upgrades and don't want to take some sort of WWI Mk1 female up against some uber ace who has paid for a KoenigsTiger...

[scadugenga]

MM: I have a toddler and an infant at home. What social life?

Denz: I've been playing for a couple months now and have never run into that situation. Matches are determined by tier. I've never paid for an elite tank and have topped the match leaderboard more than once. I recommend you give it a go.

[Kirsten]

yeah WoT is pretty well balanced really all in all, I like it.

I'm loving the M4 (particularly after the craptacular mistake that is the M3 Lee) and just got my StugIII. Haven't tried it out yet.

[Kirsten]

the Stug is pretty nasty. not played with it, but the Stug3, Hetzer, and Jagdpanzer seem to be what kills me most often, aside from russian ISs

[eldargal]

Played some World of Tanks with a friend who came 'round last night, seemed fun. Got blowed up a lot. Found I'm best sitting on top a hill in sniper mode shelling enemy tanks as they shuffle around, no idea what kind of tank would suit that playstyle but it was fun.

[Denzark]

Damn you all it may be tanks next...

tank destroyers

[eldargal]

Seems logical.:) I need to counter my melee DPs instincts though, soon as I get hit my first instinct it too charge forward which usually results in me being blowed up. Although once it resulted in us capturing the enemy base despite being outnumbered after losing like 5 tanks to no enemy losses. Feeling a bit smug about that.

[Kirsten]

yeah it is very hit and miss as a game. if your team works well to cover each other, your base etc. you will win, but usually they all just charge off wherever they fancy and get obliterated individually. there are some good tank destroyers for getting in close and destroying the enemy. the british AT2 is ludicrously slow but has massive armour and a powerful gun, you feel like the terminator rolling inevitably forward while all incoming fire bounces harmlessly off you and every return shot destroys somebody...

[eldargal]

Sounds arousing. I noticed the tendency towards team annihilation, one match I got into a nice sniping position and killed 2 tanks and did a lot of damage to 3 more while 9 of my team trundled through the same bottleneck and got blowed up one after another.:rolleyes: This was me playing inebriated too.

That's because people believe (whether its accurate or not) that you get more xp for destroying tanks than capturing the base.

If you really like death from a distance....artie can be ridiculously fun.

[eldargal]

I should probably get my own account or something then...

I didn't notice much difference in exp from a victory with 2-3 kills compared to a victory with one kill and a lot of hits on other tanks so it never really occurred to me to charge forward for killiness.

yeah it is amazing how often people post messages near the end of a game going 'don't capture, kill everyone you get more xp' which isn't true, as the loading tips frequently tell you.

Then you're missing out.

[Denzark]

So, I'm still playing. On Houndsmoor and East Nagach. Anyone else about there?

[Psychosplodge]

Sorry just gone back to TF2...

[Denzark]

Ive had a pee about on world of tanks but can't seem to get it.

[Psychosplodge]

Any mmo game that requires skills will have you spend your first ten-hundred hours dying far too often.

[Anthrax ion pusscabe]

I play clash of clans on my iPad as my online game, I just either horde my level 5 barbarians (second highest level) with a few healers, wall breakers and some spells of either healing or rage, or I spam level 2 dragons (halfway to max level) with again healing or rage spells, I'm in a clan called lost guards if anyone wants a new clan that's got a good all for one and one for all attitude in clan wars

[Deadlift]

Starwars Commander, Star Trek Trexels and Minecraft on my ipad atm, oh and Hearthstone plus a ton of GW games like Spacehulk and Warhammer Quest. Too many games.
