The princess glitched off the map while I was playing and our team lost. She was no where to be found....weird glitch.

Last night during are epic Gaf game, the red team didn't have any worker hats appearing for the second half of the battle. Not sure if that was a glitch or by design, but it was odd.
I just got home, so I'm going to shower up and eat. But I'm all about playing if people are around.

God this is stupid, I've just spend 15 minutes trying to connect to the GAF game but being thrown back to the main menu every time. It's nothing to do with it being full as well because there seems to be only 24 or 25 players for half of the time.

Yeah, by selecting 'Find A Game' and then choosing the map and game mode from there.vehn said:

I CANNOT POSSIBLY THINK OF A SIMPLER FUCKING WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

Glad to hear that the fixes are underway. I haven't yet played in a giant game with players coordinating teamwork, so I can't really give too informative of analysis, but I too feel like the towers need to have end-game incentive for capture. I wasn't aware however that you could gain a heart back at them, or that you could "go inside them" (how do you do that? I have only accidentally gone on top of them when putting in resources and figured it was a glitch).
Not sure about the catapult you can build to launch waves into the enemy castle either... it seems like games will end up turning into sending wave after wave over via catapult instead of siegeing the castle. I really think that after death, along with a longer respawn timer (10 seconds maybe?) the map should show up on the screen and you should have an option to choose a spawn point based on your captured towers. That makes a lot more sense and would add more strategy and incentive for capturing and holding towers in the late-game, as well as help prevent stalemates. Another possible way to do it is to have the respawn timer be directly associated with the number of capture points your team has. The more towers occupied by your team, the shorter your respawn timer is, while the fewer you have the longer. That would also help prevent stalemates; encourage defending towers late game; and keep games from going too long. I personally prefer the first option, though, with choosing your spawn locations based on occupied towers.
I also read an idea earlier in the thread that seemed like a no-brainer once I read it. The map should have fog of war, and the towers should reveal the area around them to the team controlling them showing enemy positions instead of the map just completely revealing everything to both teams at all times. I really hope Titan Studios will consider ideas like these since after all the classes are upgraded there really is no real need to capturing towers.
All in all a very fun game that I imagine will be EXTREMELY fun once I play with fellow gaffers who know what they are doing. I'll probably be on later on today, and Drame, I sent you a friend request earlier and it didn't say your list was full (that I could remember) so I'm hoping you got that (Leonidas2123).

Been only playing local games with bots but have been really enjoying the game. Wrapped up the single player story and that was fun. 
Once i learned the power of the "push up on the d-pad" things got a lot easier as i'd have a mob of people taking outposts or getting the princess
And those credics... :lol Very funny.
Also all the taunts of the game are amusing

GAF Game is offically offline , for now. More games possibly later
Too bad that last game bugged, but it's always nice to rack up points from time to time.
Good games everyone, we had pretty even teams, really though battles.
And big thanks to TelemachusD for hosting the game!
Great news! Server list should be the top priority, but guilds would be a really great add on!
Of course, class balancing should be up there too. It's stupid that area of effect spells give you 10 points, per target. Almost every game ends up a ice mage playground, and I'm part of the problem, I play ice mage too.
I would love a change which would lower the amount of points from 10 to 1 per target. That way there wouldn't be so many dark priests and ice mages running around.
And my apologizes to the players, who didn't get the invite to the chat room again. We were pretty full from the start, and withouth a second announcer handling 2 chat rooms is quite hard.
There really should be an player limit upgrade to the chat rooms.

Princess vanishes often, hat machines stop working, have seen mineral nodes cease to respawn and I even saw a drawbridge cease to work earlier.
All of that on top of latency and connection problems everywhere. This is the worst game launch I've seen since like... a late 90's PC game. :lol
It's fun, when it works, but this thing should seriously still be in beta.

You obviously missed a lot of problematic launches, like Gears 2.Alex said:

Well, I don't play every game that comes out, but the only game I've had problems with in years like this was 1943 on 360, which took about a day after I bought it and begun my bitching to fix.
I will be seriously annoyed if this game remains in this alpha state for WEEKS longer. This is really ridiculous.
I never, ever want any game out sooner myself. Maybe it's just me but I've still got lots of PS3 and 360 games to mow through, especially now that we're in the part of the lifespans where price drops and the such occur often.

Game impressions mean nothing when you can't even connect to a single game. I'm 0/5. I'm very busy lately and don't have time to fiddle fuck around. I just want to play the game.

Fixed for me about a day after release, and they went back in and hotfixed squad issues too.
If Fat Princess does this, great. It'd be nice to not spend twenty minutes trying to connect to a single, lag filled game and have hat machines break and a princess vanish.
Didn't think I'd get into it, but brother picked it up, so I gave it a spin. After a few hours, impressions are pretty positive. Game's a lot of fun, gameplay's hectic and fast-paced, but still remains very team-oriented. I pretty much like all the classes, and the maps I've played so far have been fun. Can't say I've really had any connection problems.

Forgot about BF1943 on 360. Own the PS3 version. Beta testing server load and testing a bug tracking is a completely different process. I'm sure BF and Gears 2 had extensive online testing at their respective quality assurance locations. Still, shit happens.
Ratchet and Clank Future + GTA4 also had some really odd day 1 issues that didn't even allow certain people to install or play under specific circumstances (like PS3 model / firmware / HDD %)

Ice mages are pretty crazy. At the end of the last game I was in the center tower as a priest with a worker next to me tossing bombs down, and devizzel (not sure of spelling) was below me racking up points like crazy freezing 4 or 5 guys every couple seconds for at least 2-3 minutes straight. I healed him constantly and the worker slowly wore down all the frozen enemies. I checked the score right after that and he had shot all the way to first.
You really shouldn't get 10 points per enemy per freeze when you can charge it in 2 seconds. Priests get only one point at the lowest charge, and still only 9 at the highest 10-12 second charge. I didn't notice priests getting ANY points from draining enemies.

You can make a killing as a priest too. I actually like the priest because once it's upgraded it's a really great dynamic class. You bring two priests, with a worker, a ranger, and two warriors and you can get the princess if you do it right almost every time.
The thing that made me LOL on launch day was the fact that people are either braindead or I'm playing with a lot of bots
, I used the catapult to get the princess two times in a row (and almost a third time), all their guys were out trying to upgrade their classes bone_and_sinew

Wow, that glitch was in the beta too. I can't believe they didn't fix it in the final version. That glitch kills a match. I can't imagine what will ensue when people figure out how to do it on purpose.autobzooty said:

Man I fucking love this game. The combat is so simple but so deep. Fighting the bots is soo fun for me and I've had very little trouble getting into good online matches through the quick match or any other option.
If you are having internet problems and you want a permanent fix, no fucking around with static IPs and DMZs, and no more bullshit: Phone Your ISP and ask how many IP Addresses you have (I had two on one router, you only need 1 per router), if you have 2 or more you can buy a switch and set your network up like this:
I did this for Guns Of The Patriots Online. Now that's fucking tactical.

Also my team had the same problem that someone reported before that the worker hat machine stopped making them after some time... Didn't understand why. Because the machines were all upgraded and the princess fattened to the max? Don't know...
