Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2

I've played 1 bot game with the Space Marines and 1 with the Orks. So, very little MP experience. None, basically. But, I'm down to play MP.

The extent of my time with this game is the singleplayer and the four (five?) Games of multiplayer I played at Pencon two years ago

Hey, man. Play time is just, like, a number you know? You're a pencon champion, that means more than all the play time in the world =)

See this is when being on the opposite side of the world to you guys sucks. If I could get the timing right, I'd be in.

Happy to do some 1v1 matches while the others are comp-stomping.

May be able to swing by, we shall see. Playing Company of Heroes 2 mostly made me miss this game.

I'll probably miss 9pm but will try to be on later if some stragglers still around

I hopped into the CoH channel.

Where are you? maybe we can get an early morning game going on Saturday or Sunday.

I should be on around 9ish.

GGs!

We're all terrible. When do we want to do that again?

=)

Some of us seemed decent.

Not me.

Whose up for tomorrow night! Gotta keep the ball rolling!

Sure.

Did anybody else have problems with vent there near the end? At one point and I looked and my ping to the server was over 2700. I took at as a sign.

Yeah I think Vent died or something.

i'm down for tomorrow.

Maybe we should cut the games down to 2v2 or 3v3 comp stomp to keep pings lower. Toph was killing us.

Sure.

*Also, I think the only reason I can halfway play this game is just because the Space Marines are solid analogs for basically everything in Company of Heroes... which between CoH, it's expansions, and CoH2 I probably have 400 hours in at this point.

I might be able to figure out the IG. The Russians in CoH2 seem like just less exaggerated Imperial Guard anyway, at least from a gameplay perspective.

Orks? Eldar? Chaos? Nope.

Awesome turnout! That was a blast. I need to do some work to learn the units, upgrades, spells, etc. Tomorrow will be tough for me. I'll be on throughout the rest of the week. If you see me on, definitely hit me up.

Anyone know of any good resources for learning the multiplayer game? I've looked at the DoW wiki and such. Any good you tube videos or anything that you guys recommend?

We are pretty terrible, but I had a great time! The most fearsome result my Chaos Sorcerer was able to produce in the last game was a mild tickle on a few Space Marines. So yeah, back to the drawing board on that one.

Thanks for the games everyone. Won't be up for tomorrow night since, you know, Europa Universalis IV is releasing then. France isn't going to dismantle itself after all. Maybe next week though!

There were two Natuses in chat for some odd reason. I think my doppleganger actually played better than I did.

Wow. You totally tore apart my Tyranids...I spent most of the game repairing broken units or recruiting new ones. You defended your points really well with overlapping fields of fire, and made it very costly for me to take anything. Ripping up the Ogryn at the end of the game was just spite on my part.

I see that happen to me when Vent crashes and I have to rejoin a room. I didn't really have any network problems except when Toph lagged a little bit. I liked playing 3v3 because it minimized the impact of my terrible-ness to my team.

Nothing minimized my terribleness. Occasionally I play with Fedora in League of Legends, and he is well-used to being left high and dry by me in that game as well.

I think oily's plan for 2v2's or just comp stomps tonight is probably a good idea.

shoot, I missed this one. next time!

THE GROUP IS FORMING IN VENT!!!

GOGOGOGOGO!

12 people yesterday, 3 today.

Short attention spans I guess

Comp stomps are... well they're certainly stomps on everything but Expert, and even then it shows up with bunches of units that it doesn't seem like it should be able to afford but then sort of flails around and I guess doesn't know what it should do with them?

Weird.

Sorry. I fell down a Fringe hole.

I'll be on tomorrow night. Tuesday is family TV night.

At least it was a good hole.

I finished season 1.

Yes it was.

It ends there, sadly

Arise thread!

So apparently GFWL was remove3d from DoW 2 and Chaos Rising on May 29, 2014.
I cannot wait to put them back on my hdd as permanent fixtures!

... and bring on DoW 3! (pretty please?!)
