    I think the first impression of the game for newbies is way too difficult and it-s not just the game is complex. With the campaign they should teach us the game a lot more. Right now they only explain the very very basic stuff, but things so important as hotkeys and create groups easily doesn-t exist really. For example, I have been playing the game since release I just found out that if you press quickly twice the group you created, the camara focus on those units, that was huge. But stuffs like send a villager to do several jobs should be a thing that the game explain to you. If you have to do your own research to discover so many basic stuff drive away a lot of people. They should teach and encourage to use hotkeys and all that stuff bc otherwise you think you-re pretty bad and the issue was just you didn-t know how to use hotkeys. And focus more on the counter units should be a must as well... They only teach you archer beats spearman, spearman beats horseman, and horseman beats archers, but I think they don-t say a thing about armour units and crossbows, sieges....

    • @antonioiborra8
      @antonioiborra8 2 месяца назад +4

      ​@@faafoyb well for me the DLC was a fair price tbh, but the game should have come out a lot better, mainly with that price. And in any moment they could improve their tutorials or campaign tutorials by teaching how to use the hotkeys, order several things at the same time, create and use properly the units groups, an actual counterunits tutorial, siege... The hotkeys are essential, and we take them for granted but a lot of newbies dont even know they exist , that-s a huge problem. Or they just know they exist somewhere but they dont use them because they dont really know how to really work or how to change them and its pretty understandable since they are like even hidden in the menu, its such an important thing and there-s a lot of people playing the game with out using them. Those people probably will end up dropping the game. And the game is already complex and you have to think all the time in a lot of stuffs, so if devs dont even know how to teach us how to really play correctly the game, any newbie is gonna be way too overwhelmed. I think even these days a lot of people would play a lot more this game if these things improve, there would be a lot of more happy bronze, silver and gold people out there, playing slow but with all the potential that the game offer so having fun

    I love AOE4 so much. Have put 1500+ hours into it. But I recently stopped playing because the lower levels (plat/diamond) are overwhelmed with cheaters. Even FFA nomad which is supposed to be a fun mode has so many maphackers (and if they're not maphacking, people donating kings ruins the game).
    I have reported dozens of players for maphacking online at the custom support page and while they do ban, it's always only a week, even in multiple offenses, so it's not worth my time getting video and submitting.
    Last time I played I had three straight games (1 ranked 1v1 and two FFAs) with obvious maphackers. I called it quits after that. Just so deflating to play for 30 minutes or hour only to find afterwards the game was never on even footing.
    As far as watchability, even though I'm not playing, I do still enjoy watching high level gameplay and tourneys. I think at the high level it's very watchable (way more so than AOE2, AOM, or Stormgate).

    Imo, the viewership problem is very noticable because an already a small target group of people (that like to watch hours of long strategic matches, same as classical chess for example) is fragmented to multiple similar titles. AoE1, AoE2, AoE3, AoE4, AoM all share the same type of players and viewers.

      because people can dodge to get matched with players of lower rank to inflate their elo/rank. easy solution is for the game to hide who your opponent is in the matchmaking menu. this is a standard feature in all RTS games yet is missing in aoe4. yes, you win and lose, and most people don't care about rank, but frequently losing to dodgers isn't fun when already having to deal with smurfs, cheaters, and cheesy tactics.

    Beasty could you tell the devs that the Xbox version with keyboard and mouse is kind of a mess. I have warned them a lot of times but they dont ever listen.
    The main problem is that you cant build anything by using just the keyboard, for example by pressing twice Q you cant build a house. You have to do a previous step with the mouse selecting a command. There are 3 commands when you select a villager: 1. the first one is for moves (attack, stop, search for shelter... and to age up). 2. to economic buildings. 3. for the military buildings. So its different to the PC version and way too much slow since every time you wanna build anything you just cant press twice keys and go on, you have to do that step with the mouse and in the long run thats so annoying...
    Besides, there are other problems like there are a lot of hotkeys that doesnt work properly, like the market or the monastery. Other hotkeys when you change them on the menu they stop working. And other hotkeys that exist on the PC version, they doesnt exist on the Xbox version.
    Please warn them, may be they listen to you
