I occasionally join noob only games when I'm looking for a good stomp. Mind you other people do too so its never a guarantee.

[quote who="Protocept00" reply="10" id="2229227"] Quoting TiduZ, reply 9 Quoting Protocept00, reply 8Two 4770's in crossfire is the most powerful setup you could get. Two 4770's = 220 bucks. A GTX280 is 350 bucks. Guess which one is more powerful, runs cooler, and is better price for performance? Yep, I was shocked too. Get dual 4770's. You can't go wrong. Not only is it cooler than a Gtx280, it also runs quieter, uses less power, and is more powerful. Amazing. Pick em up

[quote who="Heinekus" reply="5" id="2229157"] And to Tiduz, to correct you, the g92 gpu die in th 9800gtx+ and the gt200 gpu are vastly different. The gt200 architecture is superior in effeciency, raw speed and power consumption. [/quote] The GTS 250 512 mb uses the same old fashion G92a/G92b gpu, the b revision being the 55nm shrink with power/heat advantages over first generation g92a 9800gtx+'s.

Ya keep in mind though there is a difference between 9800gtx and 9800gtx+ and we were referring to the 9800gtx+ so don't accidently order the cheaper 9800gtx thinking its the same. The "+" refers to a die change meaning it runs cooler and uses less power, and at higher speeds.

The 9800 GTX+ is identical to the GTS 250 (just as the 9800 gt is the same as the 8800 gt, silly Nvidia). It's a pretty good card, you wouldn't be wrong to go with it, but I think you'd be better off getting a Radeon 4770 (slightly cheaper, similar speed, runs cooler and less power consumption). If your using a resolution below 1680x1050 I would stick with the 9800gtx+/gts250, but if your using higher (1920x1200) than the 4770 is superior in every way. At 1680x1050 the perfo

My friend has 108kilobit upload speed according to speakeasy.net/speedtest, pretty piss poor I know but he can't even play 2v2 w/o unbareable lag. 1v1 is fine and 3 players in a game is pretty good. I am hoping he'll be able to 3v3 after this patch cus living in the boonies he has little options or money for an internet upgrade.

I just priced out a computer that cost $1748usd compared to a system I recently build for $1700cdn after taking my cut (I build custom pc's to make a bit of extra cash). The Alienware pc had a slower processor, videocard, smaller monitor, etc etc. The benefits were that the alienware included vista home premium and a cool looking case. The pc I built cost me a hair over 1500 for me to build. You can really save a lot of money building a pc yourself or findind someone w

They are just looking for an excuse to boot. At least you know the proxie person is going to stay in the game. Wrong. If you are in europe connecting to a EU host and you get proxied, you'll show something like 250+ ping when in reality you would have below 100 if you connected dir

[quote who="NeoVain" reply="19" id="2224124"]Even though his upload speed migh be pretty bad, i am flabbergasted by this game needing 16k/sec UPLOAD to play online! considering i played starcraft and warcraft 2 on 56k modems back in the day... (which translates to rougly 4kbyte/sec) without problems. 200 APM was standard those days, that is, over 200 commands per minute, or 3-4 clicks every second. The only data that should be sent are the commands ordered by the player?[/quote] &nbsp

I got my friend to buy the game and his connection can't even handle 2v2 (handles 3 players in a game great). He has about 1 megabit down and 108kilobit up - rather piss poor. Now he's probably gonna have to switch isps in order to play. Any plan on when 1.01 is to be released to the public?

Really, what you need to do is reward players for sticking it out. Can't just award completed games, because most people will stay in for a game they're winning, thats not really all that impressive. Most people you'd want to play with will stick it through no matter

[quote who="SolaceAvatar" reply="24" id="2223503"]Isn't it just a few kilobites per person, though? I mean, it's just a few lines of text.

Anyone figure anything out? I have him reinstalling the game now, hoping that does something. He can see games through impulse -> community but trying to join just brings him to the custom games list in game, which is still empty.

I am looking for a clan or organized group to play with, particularly once clanwars takes off. I'm a highly skilled player and expect the same from those I play with. If any groups are looking to add someone, I'd be happy to apply/tryout. Fun facts. I hate losing, it pisses me off. I've been competetive in several games, mainly rts/rpg/mmo (including DoTA). My main goal in a clan is to win games and play with players as good as me.

can we call him lycanthrope? or Druid? Which reminds me I thought of a really good idea for a hero called moon archer, she can cast beams from the sky like satellite strike in C&C, and gives a ranged dmg buff. More info to come.

You talk to 1up yet about re-reviewing the game? Now that they can play it I imagine they'd bump it up a bit, prime time for good reviews now that people who didn't buy it already are receiving 50% off coupons from eager friends and strangers.
