Pathing is ruining this game

It really has been extra bad lately. Units just go the opposite direction you say. It’s worse than last patch, and it’s driving me away. I feel I need to take a break from this game until it gets fixed, which I know it won’t.

Yeah, pathing seems considerably worse the past couple times I played. I normally don’t pay too much attention or care too much as it’s fairly subtle, but it’s completely obvious now

I wouldn’t say it’s ruining the game for me, but it is frustrating at times and I hope it can be fixed. Then again, I don’t play Ranked, so there’s that. When you play games vs. AI, you tend to be a little more lenient and forgiving

I will say time after time

Im amazed how unprofessional and lazy the devs are
The last patch what the most blatant example of pay to win fiasco in which all bugs reapear, more bugs are presents, pathing becoming worst all to insert a pay to win fiasco with kithans and it took like 2 months to have a balance patch, but they knew that simply removing Kithans from ranked will decrease the sales.

Now i need to cross my fingers not only because the pathing is an insuferable fights against every single units
Now i need to pray that the game doesnt inta desynch and to make things worst somehow im being penalized for “leaving the game early” and literally because of lazy devs now i need to wait 30 minutes

Unit teleportartion? still present for more than a year
1 tile wall hop? fixed, now magically it occur again
multi shot bug? dude this is the most basic level testing, yet they introduced a bugged unit, specially rocket cart
Units freeze? worst than before. One match i had like 22 knights froze in the middle of the map with a random tree line and having to manually unfreeze those units cost me the game. But hey dont forget to support the pay to win fiasco
Villagers? more stupid than ever. I lost count the amount of time villagers take the most imbecile and longest route to chop a tree
TC not firing? this has been showed like 3 years…

Devs? naaah all is fine, more sales dude more DLCS with bugged units and untested gimmicks

In essence, complete and absolute unprofessionalism, lazyness and chicanery

I’m pleased to say I haven’t encountered these bugs, and if I have, then I haven’t noticed it.

Hasn’t pathing been always so bad?:rofl:

At least i remember that even as a child playing the old AOKings, some stuff never happened

never i saw villagers got freeze because of yes, on random points…or even geting outside your walls and taking the most retarded path to do someting
Never, never i got an army stuck in the middle of the map and have to manually select each and everyone
-Indeed was not perfect, but surely it is far better than this crap

Good thing you can still play AoE2 (2013) if you want. Still looks good. Hope you don’t get the tremendous lag that was happening in mid- to late-game, though, which DE doesn’t have:

Maybe you have AoK disc, too? Nothing compels you to play DE. Hopefully they fix pathing, though, which hasn’t really been a big deal for years. All the sudden it’s fairly poor the past month and now the game is crazy bad? I see

True, that’s why I’ve gone back to HD. Best aoe2 experience now that DE has jumped the shark with 3k garbage.

I just fired it up and was very tempted to actually play a match, for old time’s sake. Does the game bog down for you in MP vs. AI games… maybe 2v2, 400 population? Or is it okay. Last times I played it, it slowed to a crawl. Like at least 1-2 (or more) seconds per click, extremely low framerate

I love HD’s chat transmissions and their sound, too. Tight, quick, responsive, not annoying. DE jumped the shark with chat filtration, chat doorbell sound, and chat delays. Not to mention the inability to easily use your own MP3s for taunts in DE. (Yes, Wwise is still an annoying obstacle/hurdle for DE.)
