@Devs; please add a “trade” button to caravans. Some of us play with “one-click-garrison” turned on and its a pain to route your idle caravans back on a desired TC after an attack (fimbul etc.). Manually clicking on a market will cause a caravan to trade with the TC thats farthest away from it which sometimes isnt desireable.
So currently the only solution to this is to disable this option (instant garrison on right click) and then trade with the desired TC - with a button on the caravan this would be fixed.
@devs The new update completely changed the healthbars on PS5 without any option to turn it back, please at least give the players that choice, a lot of us had spent dozens of hours playing with the old ones and preferred them.
I don’t know how long this will take to get fixed or even if it will.
I second this. The health bars are way too big on everything. Hopefully they will at least give us the option to change it back. It makes it very difficult to see units because they are covered by the large health bars.
The new update caused significant performance issues for ps5 players to a point were the game is unplayable cant even complete solo matches anymore am surprised no one brought it up here as there is a post on reddit @Devs
Yeah, please, at least let us have the option to change the size of the health bars on PS5, it is way too big now and I can’t see and select single units because of it. Ruined my experience with the game, unfortunately.
@devs All is good in the most recent update, EXCEPT the immense health bar above my units now. Im a current PS5 player and this has only happened after the most recent update. As you guys stated in the update, this was something you changed to make it like Xbox. Please, if you wish for this game to continue growing on consoles you must edit the size of the health bar. I for one might not touch the game again until this is done as the game is no longer enjoyable. Controlling an army or even a villager is brutal due to the fact that the health bar covers half of the unit. If you can either give us an option to change the size or you guys just simply putting it back to regular size that would be a huge step forward. My buddies are also experiencing this issue and they are annoyed by it as much as I. Besides that, everything else in the update seems to check out.
I can’t agree more, the game is unplayable now just for a minor and unnecessary change, which changed everything. It is already hard to micro on controller, but with those immense health bars it became impossible. Please, devs, don’t get me wrong, I love the game and I really appreciate the effort you guys put on it, even bringing it to PS5 (which I thought I’d never see happening), but I really just wanna play the game again…
This is a great idea. I suggest you post it either as its own post or in What would you like to see in Myth Retold? - Age of Mythology: Retold / Discussion - Age of Empires Forum
Same here, I’ve been experiencing weird freezes when the game used to run flawlessly.
Im actually more amazed how many of u play this game on a console… why on earth would u do that? keyboard and mouse on console at least i assume? if not ur APM is WAY too low u can never compete in ranked. do u guys just play AI or something? (i am NOT talking crap i just dont understand) why no balance changes this patch either? right now u still got China with a 66% win rate and Egypt is 40% win rate, 26% still on set. how about some actual balance changes to make a decent game for ranked?
I play it on PS5 on a controller casually with my friends (PC players), if you use all the shortcuts that are available it’s perfectly playable. Can you become a 400 APM God? Probably not but the game is still fun to play. I believe there’s a couple high ranked controller players on the other AOE games..
Actually the majority of players just lame Norse constantly, and its been that way for awhile. 90% of opponents I face in 1v1 ranked are Norse. If you watch any tournament matches, you can bet that at least one of the players will be Norse, if not both. Although I would rather face Norse than Chinese, I have no idea how to beat Chinese, maybe I have a 10% win rate vs Chinese.
I live in Brazil, and we don’t have a decent and developed economy as most of the players in North America and Europe. A good PC here costs the same as a new car, so the PS5 is a better option to play games. Back in the days when AoM could run on any PC, I played a lot on mine, but I can not afford one now, so I got super excited to play it again when it was announced to consoles. I think that is the reason why me and a lot of gamers in Brazil play on consoles now.
And yes, as @nachbol said, it is fun and possible to play well on a controller (at least it was possible, I really can not micro with gigantic health bars). I even played some matches against PC players and won, but to be fair playing against console players is more fun and viable
@GhostedSC2 they will be match with very low ELO players that’s it. I believe at the bottom of ELO leaderboard you will find most of the console players. But they will be stuck there because eventually the best console players will play against some PC players and will lose. It’s not really a problem, they still can have some fun.
Why not simply plug in any mouse and keyboard into a console? They support all.
I play on PS5 with mouse and keyboard, and I just want unit health bar back, like it was before
Honestly, i just bought the game today and i couldnt even get past the tutorial it was so bad. Its in a completely unplayable state. Its frozen more than its actually unfrozen. Honestly, dropped the ball hard here. You sent a patch that destroyed the game for an entire console base and i was really looking forward to playing this, i remember spending countless hours as a kid playing. @devs
