It's back, and worse than before.

Yeah, stacking.

Anyways, just participated in 5 stacked rounds on Viper. MEG Posthumous, Zyro, and Paradox being the worst part of it. This wasn't like BSID stacking where the goal was quick obliteration, oh no. This time around assholery extends into surrounding the enemy base with L3 turrets, walling them in and raining artillery in a barrel.

Something should be done.
Just sayin'.

 

if it was on viper you need to let an admin know

I for one would have laid down some pain for ya

take it to the viper forum

I hate stacking, it's the biggest reason not to play tbh

 

Stacking is part of Empires, you cannot do anything about it.

Good players stick with good players. Good players don't tolerate incompetence.

 

Here are the screens, also Jephir even though I do agree with you man... it's mostly because of a fundamental flaw within the game play.

 

meg sucks

 

I AB

every. single. time.

empires servers need to force auto by default, been saying it for years

 

also what sucks: lvl3 turrets

 

lol i remember someone taking screen shots of consortium stacks for like 2 weeks XD... i wonder what happened.

 

Thank you for letting us know. I was told about this earlier today and went into the server and warned them not to stack.

I am hoping the players that are stacking realize they are hurting the growth of the community by doing that. The new players will get frustrated and stop playing.

We need to be patient during this time because in a short time these new players will be skilled to the point they can hold their own ingame and hopefully become part of the community.

Plus I can't understand how a cheap victory gives anyone any kind of satisfaction.

 

We must nurture the new guys. Keep them in cages and make them watch the vets until they are strong enough to be released into the wild.

 

anyone else not see any stack at all in those pics? ;p

 

..nvm do I detect sarcasm? lol

 

Looks like it's only 2 games. Unless you played Tropicvendetta twice in a row.
Not really enough to state a stacking problem.

Though, I am not surprised there is stacking.
Going to have to track steamIDs if players start using aliases.

 

That's brilliant, you finally found out that everyone wants to be on the same team.

It's not BSID style stacking, the argument some players have is that they want to have fun with players they know will do shit right. If you want to make a difference get a clan to counter stack against the currently stacked team,.

 

The five games before were like that to, just didn't take screenshots, was too busy trying to anti-stack, or didn't care.

 

some asshole already made that

 

Hi Grantrithor.

Next time you post, please read and try to think accordingly.

These people aren't looking to simply play competitively with their friends. They're looking to abuse new players. They want to crush them in a humiliating victory for their entertainment.
This is wrong.

 

I already said it before, make randoming display it in chat. That way admins will realize that shit

 

Hi PreDominance, maybe because constructing level 3s around their base is hilarious and gives me a good chuckle and maybe the bad team needs to ADAPT to the new conditions, the winning team is not looking to abuse new players, they are just establishing their victory, like when the winning team gets plasma because they are like lololol overheat self overheat them. It also sounds like the losing team was in a losing position to have lvl 3s build around their base so who fucking cares anyway, maybe you need to complain about those who go inside the rax and melee everyone who spawns, complain about teams that do some apc rush in the first 2 minutes to win the game in 5.

Ever melee'd someone in Quake 3 and it's like HUMILIATION, yeah its fun doing that, it's fun to crush someone in a humiliating victory cause you can, why sometimes the winning team draws it out slightly longer to use like HE arty or to nuke the hell out of the fuckers, cause guess what, they deserve their victory parade.
