multiplayer? what multiplayer?

from Sins Forums

Hello all... I had just started playing Sins of a Solar Empire multiplayer this last February shortly after it came out.. I got to play it for a month before I went to Armor OBC, and lost my good internet connection.  Now I get to my post, get a good internet connection, and it appears the multiplayer community has disappeared?  At least open games seem to have.  Now I have read people say that when patch 1.1 comes out things should pick up.  I hope so, but when something starts to fall of like this, it is quite troubling... especially since 1.1 has been so long in coming.

a lot of people complain that EA makes all the games now and got something like a monopol. i would pay 20 bucks more for the game if its made by EA. IT WOULD WORK AT LEAST

Well, sure, if you don't mind difficult-to-remove, intrusive software being installed on your computer without your permission. It's been hard, but I don't buy EA games anymore. They represent everything that is wrong and !@#$ed up with corporate America.

Did you know they actually had programmers go on strike? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a bunch of developers to finally stick up for themselves? They're generally very well-paid and enjoy what they do, even if some dingus insists they work ridiculously long hours when there's no reason to.

If gamers would stop being total wimps about boycotts the conglomerates might learn to behave themselves. At least be better informed before knocking a studio's first multiplayer game. SP was worth my money and the first year or so of any multiplayer strategy game is usually so riddled with balancing issues that everybody just spams the same crap all the time anyway.

I don't play multiplayer because all the games take like 8 freaking hours (atleast they do for me...) And 8 hours of continous playtime is just a bit excessive for my taste. Otherwise I would play this game online abunch more.

(and it takes me 8 hours, and I have modded it to give all players rediculous amounts of resources per second[I get around 200 crystal a second, without refineries] so that the game starts off really fast too.)

Your multiplayer games take 8 hours, or your SP ones do??? SP takes longer then MP as AI doesn't quit/surrender until all but dead.

Ever thought that modding the game to give that amount of resouces and make it longer as people can continually pump out reinforcements??? That is like RA for everyone from the start!!!!

A 3v3 on the large random single star map normally takes less than 2 hours with the winning team normally having been determined in less than an hour-and-a-half.
