AoMR lobby features for AoE2DE

As a fairly new player I was amazed the individual difficulties aren’t in the aoe 2 de game

Seems a glaring omission especially for new player

yeah, it’s strange how many objective down-grades there are in this game compared to the HD edition.

Unity is relatively easy to learn so there are a lot of very low effort games out there but that doesn’t mean a good team can’t make something amazing in Unity.

It’s the quality that is my concern as it is a matter of ownership: if you’re using an engine off the shelf then you really can’t take pride in it.

tell me you know nothing about software engineering. Using existing libraries is the norm. There is no point in implementing your own “isPrime” method, when there are tried, tested, and optimized libraries available.

The same goes for game engines. Why should I implement my own isometric renderer? my own shader system?

Why put any effort in when the devs obviously aren’t?

“Any effort”? The devs “are not putting in any effort”? That’s a lie and you know it:

it’s not a lie, it’s very mild hyperbole. there are so many bugs that are in the game since launch, that haven’t been addressed.

Literally the most popular post on this forum about aoe2 is complaining about the chat filter being extremely buggy. It’s not even asking for it to be fixed, just an option for it to be disabled. That’s close to a one-line code change.

Profanity Filter -> Optional

Hi I think at this point there has been enough discussion on both sides on whether the new profanity filter is good or bad. Personally I think it’s bad because people will find different ways to be toxic if they want. But that doesn’t matter. Just add a setting to disable it for those of us who appreciate freedom of speech. If people are willing to explicitly set their game to allow “profanity” (more like, being able to say “brb pee” or “onager” or “wtf” with friends) why refuse to give them …

they have known about this issue for 6 and half years and done nothing about it.

He’s one of those “lazy devs” guys, better to ignore the hyperbole.

Sure the game has bugs. The thing about bugs is that they are hard to find, and when you fix something it can break something else. It’s a slow and endless process, at least it is being worked on.

stuff like the chat filter doesn’t need fixing, it just needs a simple option to disable it. Not implementing it is stubborness or laziness. take your pick.

@Badsoup

Show me a game without bugs and I’ll show you something that doesn’t exist.

bugginess is on a scale. Saying “all games have bugs, so we shouldn’t hold the devs accountable” is a dishonest argument. A 7 year old game, by one of the biggest companies in the world, has no business being this buggy.
