LMAO

And obviously the definition of fun is different here. I came here to play games with "normal" armies, not the stupid "spam this type and this type = win! " companies that you are used from vcoh.

Define Normal.  Seriously.

[BradAnderson]

an army that dosnt rely on 1 or 2 unit types and uses and ounce of combined arms.

[gamesguy2]

By that definition half the armies in WW2 were "gimmick".

[CrazyWR]

Unit types? like armor/light vehicle or infantry/support? or like grens/geschutzwagens or g43s/50mm's?

Realism never made a good game.

[bristiler]

so you are telling the people who dont want to play you in  the first place that they cant play you.....come again?

[TheYaxisOfEvil]

To the player I mentioned above (if you recognize yourself): I'm not capping on you.  I only used you as an example.  I'm not trying to start a flame war or make enemies.  If you're offended then I'll gladly edit that part of my post out.

Did you just say capping???   I love when you guys use our words..

[fallensoldier7]

What do you mean "your" words?

[puddin]

Baine, when people come ot me and ask me to join them, becuase they don;t trust to playw ith anyone else on VEntrillo or the launcher i jump in. 

HEll do i truly enjoy goign against 2 armor players all the time?  Noo.  But if CrazyWR is in a game and Yaxis joines... or o4b then do i tell one of them to get out because i know their company builds and won;t have a shit ton of fun playing them?  No.  I play the game and try to play better then i normally do. 

Is if fun to fight 2 airborne players?  OR better yet Royal Engineers with tank shoicl and crocks with Armor t-17s to back them up?  Not really, do we dodge?  No. 

There are lots of reasons people dodge and not some moral High ground as all of you claim, ITs a lack of Experience and Lack of willinging ness to fight. 

Its simple, Take on the challenge and win, Or get better by the loss, LEarn nothing and you have faulted no one but yourself...

When one person dodges one person, PEople think that kind of behavior is acceptable, So then pretty soon, you end up like we did on Saturday and sunday when i started this, A launcher with 30 pople and vent with 25 and 10 games up, and no one wanting to play one another because of one player or its a stack, or not enoguh of a stack. 

If you seriously want a game where you pick the opposing team, Go find them in vent and recruit them, IF not, take what comes along, ready up and try to win. 

[anthony210]

Right now it is acceptable to dodge games.  There is no rule that says you cant.  Until a automatch is introduced or a dev makes a rule stating you cannot dodge cames then it is acceptable.  Currently we can choose whether to play or not and not everyone has to agree with the reasons. 

What is not ok is harrasement.  If someone is joining your game and refusing to ready up to ruin your game then you have cause to be upset.  But choosing not to play a game is not against the rules.

I dont normally dodge games.  There are a few people I will not play against but it has nothing to do with my or their skill level,  More to do with them being asshats or something like that.

[puddin]

But by didging you set a president to have the masses think, ITs ok to dodge because this person did it.  ITs the sheep followign the first figure they see. 

And many games get continually ruined by it, such as hoping in and out of games because someone joines, the game empties then that person leaves then they join and the cycle continues...

All i am sayign is that if people would worry more about playign and thinking up how to win, and strat.... THey would get better and not many strats would instill such fear,m including so called gimicks. 

People just need to play more, cry less, and try to out think the opponent instead of saying, I will atack you head onw ith my terror grens and win all, or rr spam of doom, or light vehicle barage of death, or Shreck stormie group of carebears. (yes they have hearts and flowers, and shoot teddy bears... OR so i am told)

IIts a cycle, and if one person dodges, it becomes ok to.  And then Smokaz, crazy, GRoundfire, o4b who are good players are penalized, Evilenergy and APEX used to feel that sting all the time.  ITs a pain in the ass. 

The allies don;t cry about dodgeing as much, because most days axis are so desperateto get games they will play anyone...  But if it continues, The axis will become unionized and then it will end up the same as it did over the weekend... 

10 games up., 25 ppl on the launcher, Not a single person actually playing....

[anthony210]

Well people have differant reasons for playing the game and have fun in differant ways.

Some have fun by simply playing.  Others have fun by finding the latest and greatest OP spam and abuse it(not meant as a jab at you).  Others have fun by getting wins.

Who are we to decide if a person should or shouldnt dodge?  If they feel the game wont be fun for them why should they play?  We all play to have fun I assume one way or the other...

Honestly though,  the people that have the most problems with dodging are the ones that play with the "highly specialized companies".  And its really not anyones problem but their own.  They choose to play with said companies and they know a lot of people hate playing against them.  So IMO its their own fault.

Also some people prefer to have even games.  So if 2 noobs create a game and then two veteran players rank 8 with T4s and Heavy tanks join they leave.  Why?  Because that game is totally unfair for them.  I dont blame them for leaving.  I would much rather have an even game than play a game against complete noobs to stomp them.  Stomping is no fun for me.

if someone is good and get dodged because of that he can try out a new faction/doctrine (lowers his advantage because of fully developed company) and can join some random games and just play

if he is not a stats whore like some people it shouldn't be difficult to get games

but when puddin does that everyone will exactly know who that is
cause he is calling in his stuff like it is Siamese twins

not one puma no at least 2, not one ostwind no at least 2, not one sniper no at least 2

Well, would you rather you have one testicle or two?

[Demon767]

i believe its acceptable to dogde a game if the player deems it unbalanced.

Heck if i host my own game, and 2 noobs join inon my side than 2 veterans and 1 nub join in on allies im inclined to dogde. if it was 1 vet with 2 noobs i will play. for me its all about balance. If i host a game with my mates and 3 noobs play.. i will still play them because 1. They know what they are getting themselves into 2. im giving them alot of PP 3. its a easy win for me.
