Hello fellas, I am a long time player since 2005 so you can imagine how excited I was when they announced this remastered version. However, this game is huge disappointment especially in terms of multiplayer. Flaws: - 4K is nothing extra but thats nothing to compare of other things - No avatars, no possibility to inspect players, see their decks, achievements, medals, which leads to low motivation and competition level. Lot of anonymous players without soul. Game lost soul. - poor statistic and leaderboards which goes hand in hand with what I wrote in point above - whole multiplayer UI is not intuitive and its not possible to easily send PM, invitation - when browsing in lobby, its automatically scroll up all the time so you cant see whats couple scrolls below. Horrible. -when hosting a game, there is an invitation button for friend, however its not working. (Microsoft). -Not possible to easily invite a friend when I am in someone´s or my own lobby -No 2vs2 ranked games ? -Creat clan is only good for clan tag before name. No benefits, no functions, no options = no fun at all. Again, no clan leaderboards, stats = no motivation. I am very disappointed. So wasted potential. Hopefully Devs will listen to this community and one day we will polish this rough diamond. Thank you! ---

Also u can’t inspect other room when u r in a room . Reduce ur chances to find proper game . Developers should think about that of a person want to play a descent casual game then it’s just luck base , he can’t do anything for it , he can’t check the deck or ranking or the other players in the room , so u will mostly end up with games with one player Bering super nobs and game end in no fun in both 1v1 and team game . It will just end casual games . Also u can’t invite a friend or a player inside a room . It’s totally rediculous . Neither host can invite a player nor the players joined the room can invite their friend , nor they have option to invite the player again , who was in room before . What the point of making a room when u can’t play with ur friend ??? Look it was the very important feature , to being able to invite a player who was in room and in chat . U could always kik and reinvite the person if that person is not temporarily afk when reading up . And in special room when there is hard to find game , I could reinvite players who left , when u see some progress in room , as some players just stalk over room in waiting to a room with 1-2 players needed . ---

My problem with AOE3 is also that the game is too slow and laggy. The response times are horrible in this game. I honestly thought this would be solved in DE but they didn’t, which is a shame. Imagine how amazing this game would be if the game response was like Starcraft 2. All I can do is dream and hope the devs do something about this game that has huge potential. ---

It doesnt solve the problem , for like nr55 mode or , no naval games or anything new u want to test vs descent players , u need to make room and u have interrogate everyone about their joining the room to have descent game , is just so bad . And why can’t u invite ur friend , the recent player u played with , or players who was in ur room and left ??? This will be great help to filling the room . Dude u need to understand there is vast skill gap , u don’t want to host a room for 10 min thay don’t even last 10 min becoz of some noob joining the room . It’s just so undesirable . And why will u test new strat or new civ in ranked game ? Who wants to loose ranking ?? ---

you dont need a good player to test new civ or new strat, even though it were a good player, he coudl be testing something too, and then he were unskiled player playing that match ---

Thanks for making this post! I totally agree with you and 100% would like to see this resolved too! Made a similar post here: (feel free to add your own thoughts here too!!) > [@Developers, a CALL TO ACTION.

I think quickmatch is great for 1v1. Problem: Ranked has been stripped from custom games. The reason this is a problem: Obviously a lot of players are going to abuse this and farm wins against noobs 3v3 players want to be able to: A) Make the teams fair. E.G.two Port/Japan players on the same team is an instant loss in 2v2/3v3 situations against competitive players. B) Customise the map: Most of the maps have food far away from the… ---
