MP is sooooo bugged

**Alkarin** · March 19, 2011, 06:30 PM

The battles themselves are fine. but everything else about multiplayer is bugged to hell. ive won 8 out of 9 of my battles and my stats dont even say ive finished a battle. traits are bugged. skill points are bugged. army setup validation is bugged. no opponent found bug etc...the list simply goes on. it needs ALOT more work and im surprised they were not aware of these bugs.

I feel like once the bugs are taken care of it will be a great multiplayer environment with good longevity. but right now it feels extremely unpolished.

Although it's nowhere near perfect, CA has taken steps to improve various bugs recently. The skill points issue was just that people didn't realise you'd need 2 skill points to get level 2 of a given skill, apparently; if this is what you are referring to. The army setup issues rarely occurs for me anymore - if you encounter a lot of them, check to see if any selected veteran units are too depleted to be in the battle and sometimes, you get an invalid army setup for having siege engines (I'm not sure if this is a bug or a host setting).

That being said, yes, it is disappointing how crude the stability and user access of the MP features are - sadly, making patches isn't something which is quickly done.

11 battles started, none of them are counted as finished (had a crash in two of them, so it should be at least 9). I wonder what CA will do about the "Dishonourable Coward" bug, I don't want to the next patch wipe it out of all avatars just to get it again afterwards due to other crashes.

its 1 skill point for 1 pip, no matter how many pips are already in that skill.

It seemed unclear to me since some were calling a bug on it but then some others claimed you need 2 skill points to get to the 2nd lvl of a skill, and thus wasn't a bug - personally, I'm not sure what to think. I guess it does make sense to have one point = one pip.

so you need 1 point for the first level, 2 for the second and 3 for the third level?

If you add that up you need 6 points to get to level 3 of any skill, is that right?
