Don't worry, the devs will get to it. No need to extend for a week, just 2 days (especially if its on the weekend) would be more than enough of a making up. Considering that at least one of the days where it wasn't working was a weekday (or two for Oceanics and other GMT +8 onwards timezones), we weren't even 'robbed' of a full weekend's worth of time.

 

The team is aware of the issue, and coming to a solution soon.

 

I feel like this should have been a private/direct message. But seeing as you made it a point to publicly chastise me for my opinions, I feel I have to respond publicly as well.

Do you like being pressured into things? Do you like having the most efficient way to earn something being a method that is the opposite of enjoyable for you? Do you believe that the primary focus of development should be for a "small fraction of the total playerbase"?

The main dev team has the belief that a strong PVP community is reflective of how active and alive a game is, which is something many, Many, MANY games I loved that died also also believed.

Firefall, a MMOFPS killed itself by focusing so much of it's dev time on PVP, when less than 10% of the player base ever played it -- dooming that game. That MMOFPS, much like this MMORTS, attracts the PVE crowd far more than it does the PVP crowd. That is why an entire booster pack was devoted to coop missions, as well as an entire other booster pack devoted to Skirmish mode (vs AI instead of other players) which was (and still is) the most played mode for AOE2.

It isn't that I am not good at PVP, I played competitive Starcraft 1 for years. But I firmly believe that PVP development is being over emphasized when what will draw (and keep) AOEO players is not a thriving PVP community, but instead fun/rewarding/memorable coop PVE content.

AOEO has a serious edge over SC2's coop mode, and that is the major selling point. The ability to play fun and interesting missions with your friends, family, and even children (as my 7 year old can play and beat some of the coop missions in AOEO). Trying to compete with other RTS games on how perfectly balanced the PVP is, is not a good time investment -- in my opinion. It is to that end, that I want to voice how PVP is not my thing and how I APPRECIATE it when I can earn the same things as PVP players.

I agree with you, in some parts, I prefer PvE game, before PvP, but PvP isn't bad as you say, there is examples too when PvP community saved some games too, but please don't share that damn' channel: , they shit on in our lovely Age of Empires Online, for me the best Age of Empires EVER!! That channel doesn't understand what we love of this game, and AOEO is awesome, is another level, is marvelous, maybe my most loved videogame!! Has everything the best of classic age of empires, with gear, cities, items exclusive for every civilizations, AND CIVILIZATIONS DIFFERENT OF ONE TO ANOTHER, this game is insane!!

Thanks for this game, seriously, and we have to be together for this masterpiece!!!!
