does anyone like Rts games? Lunia is a action strategy game, but i think now its less strategy and more action if u know what i mean Lunia tried to invest in competitive gaming by hosting that tourney back in beta but it didnt attract enough attention. competitive gaming is big in korea and it was a wise choice, but now with its failure, its probably the reason why lunia lost its focus on PVP. it is not farfetch to say lunia was develop for PVP. lunia was developed around the time SC1 became a big past time in korea and a few korgames tried to go that route

well SC2 here is like playing a game of chess. gameplay is more open, but the thing is, its a lot of work and u cant be stupid if u wanna b gud


heres opening ceremony of the biggest prize pool tourney in any game yet... ($85,000 for first prize) this is per month

this is just opening ceromney: (kinda boring but u can see how a big deal it is)



some gaeplay





some others if u click around

i really cant commit to rts games anymore. rts games are usually only fun if its a long match, but i cant commit my time to stay there for over 30 minutes keeping focus and without even 2 minutes to something as simple as daydreaming. and people get angry, man. i used to get angry but that was a long time ago, and i was thinking maybe i should try sc2 but i saw my brother get pissed off the same way and im like okay no way. like when someone calls you, someone messages you, someone asks u to help them with something for a minute, it's a distraction to your continuous 30+ min train of thought so you get freaking angry. i already get angry when someone distracts me from my daydream and i daydream all the time

its just like pvp. games only last around 5-20 mins unless u find someone the same level as you.

its less committing than lunia anyways, u dont need to rebirth and do mandatory level check.

just watch some high level replays, it doesnt last as much as 25 min. i think the common game lasts around 15 min.

In practice, u dont need complete attention. In real tournaments, yes. But on battlenet you just do whatever u want especially with friends. note: pause button.

There are serious games, and there are not serious games.

i mean i wasn't talking about long term commitment. i meant like i want to be able to sit down and know i can take a break after less than 10 min. if someone interrupts u it's time lost which is progress lost which means u start to fall behind, and thats why people get mad. but even when we do double cod or double coc i feel trapped. but then those stages became so repetitive i can day dream the whole way through so i don't mind so much anymore. With rts its like first u gotta start from scratch and u have to pay so much attention to the time it takes each thing to build and as soon as u get x amount of money u should build this or that as soon as possible, which will make the game faster and shorter, but in the end i wanna be able to watch tv or day dream

pause button

and yeah high maintenance like a girl

[derangedcow]

no you cant get your whole team and opponent to pause. its not called real time strategy with multiple pauses. and just like in lunia you're not playing cause your friends are on - you're playing cause you're bored. once u sit down u'll have to stay locked down cause if u stray off, you're not the only one losing progress; your friends are too. and nobody can say their friends wont mind cause when they look at how far behind u are they'll get pissed off too cause when one person is behind the whole team is behind, so more people get pissed off. like u can ask how everybody here felt when they did the raid/x-10 title quests
in lunia i can stay on for a long time but i also have the choice of leaving in less than 10 min without potentially ruining the game for my team, so there's no feeling of obligation of keeping yourself at the computer. and im pretty sure everybody who has played starcraft has underestimated how long a match would take and ended up either being late to somewhere, late to do something, not having enough time to do something, or even sleeping later than they wanted. and the longer the match becomes the more trapped you get cause you've done so much already and it will piss u off to just drop it and give up

how often do u leave ur party behind? that kinda sucks for ur team mate bro. if thats how u want to play then okay.

like i said, u dont have to be serious. ppl can care less if you leave. they'll just create another game and move on. some ppl just play while eating and watching tv. or pause the game to go to the bathroom. its jst a game

anyways, stop making lame excuses!! wtfffff man

[derangedcow]

idk how u play starcraft cause u dont even stay on lunia to stage so i figured u dont like doing things that lock u down too. and unless you only play UMS in starcraft, the competition always turns it serious because the competition is what makes it fun. like i said, in lunia u have the opportunity to leave but in starcraft u dont unless you really dont care about pissing your friends off, and having that opportunity is what makes it feel better than being locked down and im sure u know what im talking about too. people do care if their team member leaves cause they're depending on them, just like when you said that kinda sucks for my team, so again u should know what im talking about. i dont even m5 anymore cause i know if i join im gunna feel obligated to stay with them for at least 30 min just for courtesy, but at least i still know i have the opportunity to leave after 6-7min.

the bottom line is u dont leave in the middle of things cause its fkd up so its either u get on or you dont and if you're like me and dont wanna stay for 30+ min then i dont get on. it just isnt fun anymore when obligation becomes a factor

[kitty]

that pretty much sums up any MMO

[derangedcow]

thats what i been trying to say but u keep interpreting it differently; i cant commit anymore but at least with lunia i have the freedom of breaking after less than 10 min

zerg fighting~!!
