If you do a search on the FFA forum here, you'll find that this exact thread topic comes up every 6 months or so. No one's mind is ever changed in the process...unfortunately.

I miss watching game tape when I'm not sucking at this game. Get back into the auto-recording film rooms! It's been weeks since anyone has played outside of Madrigal.

I think the truth is that since there's rarely ever more than a couple games going on at any one time, at some point a couple games got started in Madrigal, and then users logging in afterwards migrated to that room to play more games. Then you have the afker's sitting around in that room once they'...

but seriously, how is it that all games are in this room now?

Why is everyone now playing in the only non-autorecording film room on GOS? Was it just a fluke where GOS got really empty and active users just happened to switch to playing in Madrigal? It just seems strange that everyone is now playing in the one room out of six that doesn't record films. There's...

Correct, you can still download replays, it's just people are choosing not to play in "film" rooms for whatever reason. Just to be clear PK, you're saying you can download replays if you're in the game that was played in that room and have "auto save films" turned on in your M2 ...

Not 100% sure, but I believe everyone has been playing games in non-recording rooms on GOS over the last two weeks or so. So it might just be that people aren't playing games in those rooms. I do miss checking out the replays too though.

I just got back into the community after about a 10 year hiatus, but I did play almost daily back when m1 and m2 were popular. The pus/satch or pus/bottle combo used to be a bit rarer when bnet was active. But I've noticed that a lot of people are using the bottle/pus combo these days as well. So I ...

Got a strategy related question in another thread currently, if anyone is still watching this thread:http://forum.gateofstorms.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2648

I'm sure someone can chime in here and settle this question with some stats. This is your chance Tangoes, Ghol King :). But I've always been curious: is a dorf bottle more powerful than a satchel when it's thrown as a projectile? The reason I'm curious is that I see two different strategies for ghol...

Thanks Pyro. I'm willing to bet he just stopped playing, but maybe someone else will chime in on this thread.

About 9-10 months ago there used to be a M2 user on here called Key (but spelled out using alternate keyboard characters). I can't seem to find the name in the GOS user list. Anyone know what handle key switched to or is using now?

This is all kinds of awesome. Lag may have been a factor towards the end. Chat at 5:17 and yellow base fighting at 5:00 onward is crazy. Happens to the best of us (and I'm pretty damn awful at this game).

My personal favorite as of late. Check out the permanently burning dorf bottle at 9:08, and wait until 7:59 when EW's ghol throws the bottle to almost completely decimate a heron. I think the lag in this game messed everything up, but it's a very funny bug either way.

I should have added the caveat (as Dantski mentioned) that starting mid would change the trade for many, but probably only in terms of having more wights before rushing to the east hill.

I'm looking for some input on what you all think are some of the best trades to make on Appa. Hot Springs lmonth. I really like this map, but I find that there's a big variety in trades to be made. Before everyone tells me to head over to the Myth Graveyard and read up like a noob, I just want to po...

This is a great idea PK. It also addresses the issue in some of the recent threads that have come up in which some people are upset that most vets prefer to complain about new players rather than help them. Thanks for doing this.

Found it. It's nice to see this information all in one place! And it's a good reminder, as if we needed anymore, of just how ridiculous Brigands are. Slightly faster than a Jman. And about as good at blocking as a thrall. That unit had to have been created purely for fodder, nothing else. http://s17...

There's a great graphic in the Myth II handbook that lists all unit speeds in descending order. Anyone have it? Would be useful for this thread.

Vids aren't showing up embedded. What's your youtube username?

Do you have homeowners/renters insurance? These often cover personal items stolen from your car. However, something as valuable as a laptop might have required a special rider to be covered. Worth looking into though...

For me, any more than about 7 presets makes them useless. Half the time you're just trying to remember what you chose past preset #7...

I'm curious how many of you primarily use only numerical keyboard presets, box select, or a mix during online games? I'm not interested in creating a poll, but I would like to know how some of you are using presets or not using presets. Do you see any pro's/con's to using them a lot (to the point of...

I still like the idea of a separate site dedicated solely to films. I might be the only one that really enjoys watching all the replays of how crappy I am at this game, but there are so many great moments that could be shared with the community. Perhaps some "best of films" might even get ...

Didn't know about gos saving every game played. That's a nice feature. Too bad there's no way to know if they're any good ;-) At least there's no shortage of new films. I just wish there was someone curating a film collection made available on the web. Maybe I'll volunteer. I just have no website cr...

One of my favorite parts of playing myth years ago when the community was more active was watching films posted to online film archives. There used to be quite a few websites that exclusively hosted funny or interesting films uploaded by various users. It seems that now those sites are all but gone....
