Game Development Startup Question

I tried it, and it does run, but so slow that it wasn't much fun.

Despite not being a fan of the tabletop style I can see that it does have a lot of potential, so i'll try again when i get a new computer.

 

what was the average game time? old pox was about 30-60 minutes, comparable to new pox's 5-15

 

please stop, you're embarrasing yourself and your image as an old good player.

 

stating a legit question? curious of what the average game time of his game is, got a problem with that?

i mean I take a lot of pot shots at the expense of the developers ignoring pox, but this wasn't one of those times.

 

Nah man, he gets all defensive when you say anything negative about Pox. You saying that games only go between 5-15 minutes is an insult apparently to him...
although I have to highly agree with you that game times have been DRASTICALLY shortened since it was sony-fied.

• Game dumbed down
• Turn timer lowered
• Attack/defense stats were put on a kindergarten level
• supposedly the number of abilities were lowered per champ
• maps shoved the shrines closer and fonts moved to offset speed advantages

All of this equates to faster games whether it be good or bad

 

At least he is a good player... Quit being so dang defensive. One would think you have stock in DOG...

 

my longest game pre sony was 3 and a half hours against an sp player i've long since forgotten who, but man that game was back and forth non stop, I eventually lost =/

could not over come their old ability to come off cd and redploy so frigging quickly(uber low cost moga), on the map design of that particular map, push him back to his shrine and then 9 moga's would come off cd and we'd be back to fighting we each had thousands of nora and were just playing what came off cd by the end of it, which he had the edge in

 

Haha I recall playing a game much like this along time ago. Thinking back I couldn't recall how it was possible for them to Spam Moga so damn fast that no matter how many of them I mowed through they just kept piling up in front of me until eventually I lost. I think that may even have been my first couple month ragequit from the game.

 

1. i dont have stocks in DOG. i like pox. you can find tons of posts where i say my how pox should be corrected and upgraded, but i do not continuously open threads/comment with " its all Bane Shift". i can understand one can get tired of waiting/bugged client/ not new content, but then say it and go away. nobody is holding you here. as i said once, its like we are in a cinema, you dont like the movie, say its Bane Shift and go away. its your right. but then don't come in every 10 mins shouting how this movie is Bane Shift, because if we decide to stay it means we are okay. it gets pretty annoying.
2. game changed from the past for sure, but if its for the best or not, its quite subjective. still most games are 30+ mins so surely this game is one of the last defences vs the 5mins hearthstone stuff. probably there is this idea that games are shorter because few people are up so you can get matched vs an a lot better player or a lot worst player, so in that case the match ends pretty quickly. but on same level matches, still there is normally 30+mins games. play vs kokon and its always 50+mins. my longest game recently its 1hr46mins.
3. my accuse of ashaming yourself wasn't about the content of your posts, that is partly right, but about the constant " we are all going to die, pox is a complete Bane Shift in all aspects" pessimism that is not what you expect from a legendary old player like you. expecially from a player that stopped playing long ago. this is not useful for new players, nor for older players, nor for you. if you got tired, there are plenty of good games out there. please respect the people that decided to stay here and play, and would like to do it without having to read every week the same complains.

 

comical.

first off, you running in and shouting about my complaints of the game in completely unrelated threads and posts as a book end to everyone of my posts is no different than the actions you accuse me of and will likely derail this topic in the direction you claim to not wish to to talk about.

second you are free to ignore the devs treatment of the game to you hearts content, you are free to pretend nothing is changing, you are free to look at all the warning signs and not care, but you are not some overlord that gets to state what the rest of us can discuss and talk about, and if the majority agree with you then my topics will die as all things due when nobody agrees with a thought, that's how free speech works.

I don't mean this as any slight against you but at this point to me you seem like a climate change denier but for pox's future, all the evidence is their but you choose to ignore it, just because pox is dieing and the devs are ignoring it doesn't mean we can't enjoy what time pox has left nor does it mean things can't change in the future, but ignoring what's going on will not help it, and certainly won't change the course.

finnally for your opinion I don't really mind the shorter games of current pox I thnk they are fine, I just wanted to know where his game fell between the two opposite ends of the spectrum.

 

hmmmm.....I think you left out the BIGGEST reason games are shorter then in the past, and compared to what was mentioned I think it's had the biggest effect by far.

most maps in ranked play are now are focused around maps with center fonts, where in the past you had large maps like the st cliffes map, etc that could cause the game to stall into large build ups before the time where things like swap, harpoon, gale, etc existed to end such stalls.

These battles would often end in MASS aoe spam to severely injure an opposing force before a large scale alpha strike, but on a occasion these tactics would be positioned against to minimize the damage, or against armies like sp, or fw tha could generate enough nora to compensate the loses while winning through attrition like unholy tomb+festering wounds.

to me the biggest factor for shortening games was maps by far.

 

no offence taken or give, i have high respect for you as one of the oldest players here, former council member etc... but from your recent posts, the only thing that comes out is that you are outraged by this game and only interested in beating an ill horse. I mean, I never denied pox isnt in good state. I know it might never recover from this situation. but my opinion is that an ill Poxnora is better than no Poxnora, so as long as the server is running, i'll play and try to make people play and be interested in the game. You are free to do whatever you want, but nobody forces you here, and its annoying to listen to the same complaints everytime. Free speech allows you to complain about the game, as it allows me to complain about you.
also, i didnt open up anything. i made an annoyed comment about your behaviour, short and clear mostly to you, but i didnt open any discussion. your and bondman with that replay, opened the discussion.
My comment was a bit harsh maybe, but your question sounded a lot like another useless complain...

 

Could you please clarify what these tools are.

 

man it was a joke about forgetting the password... you said you got an error on the login, i joked on that. sry if it was offensive. and no, i never say pox is fine. i always say pox has a ton of problems. but its still playable and enjoyable with a bit of patience. denying that its subjective, and continously repeating same complains, its annoying and a bit disrespectful to who decided to stay. just that. peace and love
