I'm not surprised with the rants here, despite having Alliance Wars feature to enable players to earn Empire points in a daily, weekly, & monthly basis without paying (you need to reach level 40 for that). Although I believe it will be a competitive game on a major league scale. But like all video games seeking to be added in the eSports scene, it requires more time, development, and community support to make it happen, even after the game celebrated the 1-year anniversary of its launch. | ||

It's just that PvP issues have to be addressed because reaching level 40 & getting rare, epic and legendary gear for units and buildings are really tough things to do.

Your post sounds so well worded, but everything in it is wrong. PvP doesn't have items enabled, the researches, or the adviser cards. You have zero disadvantage if you're playing it before level 40 as long as you own a civ so you can actually play the real PvP. Some gripes involving civilization balance may be warranted, but you're complaining about the wrong things. They are actively patching though so balance shifts similar to starcraft are constant and "normal." It's pretty amazing how the game has been out for over a year now and people still think the PvP is grind to win. This is the reason the game will never be an esport. Ignorance. Plain and simple. | ||

It's pretty amazing how the game has been out for over a year now and people still think the PvP is grind to win. This is the reason the game will never be an esport. Ignorance. Plain and simple. Very true. & it's disappointing that gear and advisor features don't count on the PvP mode. Oh well, I've had my hopes up seeing those patches improve it and the whole game itself for a year. Nevertheless, I still play the game because it suits within my RTS gaming tastes & I've been able to buy civs & boosters with empire points earned out of Alliance Wars. It's so sad that Ensemble Studios is already gone because Age of Empires 2 was the best Age of Empires game to be added as an eSport thanks to its great multiplayer features. Don't know if there's any hope that PvP problems will be solved on Age of Empires Online, though I doubt they'll be fixed enough to convince most competitive gamers to play. | ||

Wondering because when I first tried pvp when it was still in beta the problem was essentially that there wasn't an even playing field. Pretty sure gear affected the mode to. | ||

You can get a taste for PvP in arena mode (need to unlock it). I believe in the latest patch they made this available for non-premium civs so you can play champ mode and see what the game is like. So basically to unlock all civs @$10 ea you'll need to spend something like $50/60 (however many civs*10)... which is pretty much what a game normally costs. Just compare this to something like league of legends whereby $10 is going to get you 1 and a half new champs. It's a pretty good system imo. This game could take off if people get interested in it again. It is improving quickly and has a fair amount of support by Robot Entertainment. | ||

Wondering because when I first tried pvp when it was still in beta the problem was essentially that there wasn't an even playing field. Pretty sure gear affected the mode to. Just like you say. You dont have to grind any quest to get gear, becouse it does not affect in Champion mode. Also, tech tree is full unlocked on this mode. On November 02 2012 11:01 TBone- wrote: how much money would i have to pay to be on an optimal level in pvp immedietely? Let me explain you something: Free Civs: Greeks, Celts, Egyptians. Pro Civ: Babylonian, Norse, Persian (each one costs $9.99, but now on steam until 8 november, you can get them all for $15.00) Pro Civs have champion mode when you buy them (also you city starts at lvl 20, so you can play quest for lvl 20 and below) Free civs DOES NOT HAVE CHAMPION MODE UNTIL YOU UPGRADE EACH ONE FOR $9.99 to PREMIUM CIV. Steam has also a pack for $15.00 to upgrade all your Free civs to Premium Civs SO, you can play Champion mode with all civs for $30, access to all quests, and epic gear if you want to PvE, that is actually fun to play Co-op quests with your friends. What I reccomend: -Add me to steam, -Try the game with any of the free civ and we can play Skirmish Mode ( Human vs AI mode, we can play 2v2, 3v3, 4v4) - If you like the game there are 3 quests to try the 3 Pro Civs (Norse, Babylon, Persians) or you can upgrade a free civ to Premium Civ, and enjoy most features of the game like Champion Mode with that civ. -I extremely recommend to use the steam discount, and buy the 3 pro civs for $15.00. The game is fun, fresh, and with the RTS feel that I'm missing on the latest RTS games. Try it! | ||

That video features information on the overall game and a pvp match. I then made another video because there were many things I didn't cover in the first video, this one is over an hour and features a quest and the gameplay mechanics of the greek civ Not sure anyone's going to watch a video that long but it's there if you want to get a good overview of this game. And I'm planning on throwing another one up today. Anyway I've been playing this game a lot lately and I feel like it's a lot more like Bw than SC2 and really starting to get good (it's up to 6 civs now) | ||

The game is in pure support mode now, no more new content. The game's business model was no longer sustainable- For further information read here: http://ageofempiresonline.com/en/articles/blog-20130103 Thad said, they will not cease to operate the servers, you'll still be able to log in and play with your friends. | ||
