Dodecahedron Spam - Love it or Hate it

posted on June 5th, 2010, 2:05 am

I don't mean to insult you, - you guys are obviously experienced and know how to work as a team.

My main complaint is your unwillingness to adapt to make the game more fun for less experienced players.  One time I literally had to wait for somewhere around 30 or 40 minutes for you to find more people so you could do a 3v3, because you were completely unwilling to do a 2v2 and beak up your team (and didn't even respond when I suggested it numerous times).  When you're facing 3 less experienced players who don't know each other (and therefore don't know as well how to work together with each other) and don't know the game quite as well (makes counters a bit more difficult) your strategies can become very frustrating very quickly.  We basically lost before we started, because while you guys already had a strategy worked out, we hadn't even communicated with each other before the game began.  Most of the time in team games, people try to even out the teams a bit more (skill-wise) to make it more fun for everyone.

Well, that's kind of the point.  It's all kinds of fun to own noobs and pat yourself on the back afterward.

The joke has always been that when Dom puts up the list of things that are bugs/clearly overpowered and are not meant to be, they're like "Let's do that!"

They have every right to be on Tunngle, but other players also have every right to choose who they play with.

i played 2x, both times i got bored and quit

i agree that the teams should be divided evenly..

i agree dode is strong against klingon/dom seeing that all their ships are med/small, they have 0 chance of survivng ( the dominion survives more b/c of artillary and b-5's)

i prefer a normal torpedo or even better a pulse! on the dode

And yeah, its weekend

See u soon at Tunggle

About the Dode Spam, i suggest to borg_com the stop of these moovements, and he agreed, he is working on new tactics with Borg

And about the "other spams" , the most of the players (as is seen) , agreed theese moovements...

To Ruanek, srry for the "long break" We are ppl too, not cubes, we must do other things , not only computer gaming...

Yay!

  Spamming anything is TOTALLY ok as long as the unit is not something that the developers have decided is unbalanced.  The Dodes hopefully will not be spammed, but the newer patches will likely see it balanced .

  I hope to see HGF playing both new and veteran players alike in yandon and Mal's commentary!

Actually I think that 1 intercept dodes are not that OP...

1 Intercept Docahedrons last longer in combat (usually because you stick a regen on them) and can be back quicker than you'd expect. I find them worse then two Intercept for this reason.

and can be back quicker than you'd expect.

But in a combat they usually are shot down instead of escaping. And the reduced damage is not that op imo.

In 1v1 it makes a huge difference in my experience as you can get a critical mass of Dodecahedron's far faster. The two intercept modules get taken out faster by their counters so I'm just never as afraid of them as I am a 1 intercept, 1 regen. A good player will micromanage those Dodecahedron's out of battle and the two intercept ones take many many minutes to return because of damage wrought.

yep, the dodeca performed a bit too good military wise and we will do some adjustments in 3.1.3

how about making its defence weaker aslong its not set up. Actually, even when they arent set up, they can take a good load of hits. So even a good fleet isnt be able to take down a bunch of dodes before they are set up. with weaker defences when not set up, the dodes would perform way worse at rushes and i gues thats how it should be

Yes, HGF love to win, Isn't that right Lupus? I don't see why that is important; after all, we all play on FleetOps to have fun, right? I suggest that is the reason for the spamming. Spamming unbalanced units = Win, which HGF love, so the're gonna do it until they make winning a lower priority. Seriously guys, you'll have more fun, in having a challenging match. The fear of seeing you opponents huge fleet, and quickly thinking of stratagies on the spot. This is alot more fun than queing up countless Dodes, in order to win; your opponent doesn't have a chance. It will make the game longer, and more interesting, if you play without spamming.

I doesnt say that i love win, i like win better than lose, but the most of the ppl is so with it
Spamming unbalanced units You are laughly
The only unbalanced thing is you in there (and the Dodes with 2 intercept module, but I confessed this earlier already...)
I think, you Alternate, u cant keep quiet
You like the battle of words, ... so i can suggest, stop it

I dont like to discuss with you Alternate, so i suggest that we miss each other

Regards,

That has got to be the most AWESOME broken English I've ever heard .  That was truly amazing!  To be honest I think that Lupus has admitted that they will not be spamming Dodes anymore and that should be the end of that .

Here are my favorites:

You are laughly

so I suggest that we miss each other

  That's AWESOME .  I'm not making fun, either.  That's the hardest I've seen someone try to be polite in another language .

Srry for my English, but it isnt my mother language...

And laughing at that, its not dear from you... but yeah this qualifies you ...
