Any none passworded games?

[Arklith Bane]

now i understand the want for a game set with friends but i felt the fact ppl could jump in and out as you played would be a great factor? maybe im wrong but i would like to learn from ppl online rather than AI ,.
so i guess im saying is there any interesting non-password protected games i promise i am not a bad man and i wont bite ( the last part considering my grasp of the game is a certainty)

what version do you play? I just DL'ed the Ultimate collection and am tying to cut my teeth. unfortunatly it took me 24 hours to DL so patching or getting Argos Naval Yard isn't in the near future. If our games are compatabled we could work something out.

[Arklith Bane]

im on ANY but the DL of it only took 2 hours i think compare to the 24 of the Ultimate.
so if i have ANY version Ultimate is noncompatible?

[U.E.D.C.]

No the games aren't compatible. ANY adds alot of techs ect to UC. a game without ANY wouldn't be able to read anything new elements included in ANY. At least I think thats the case, I'm not exactly the MP expert. When I do eventually get ANY, I'm good for a match.

[Arklith Bane]

well when you do i am happy to play you and any one else, will probably be a joint effort as both of us against a single AI might make a force worth the AI's time .

well either way im in the online chat room in the game now as Motherless.

just had the feeling to play Sots online. Logged in and Hey, 10 games going

all passworded

25 Players spread over 10 passworded ANY games. Thats really no fun. so had to exit again and find another game to play. that usually always happen the last months when I log into sots. Even the sots-chat is empty and I got no friends that play sots.

I want a patch to deactivate the paswords :O
why is it, that more and more people begin to password their games? I mean, like one year ago, there were passworded games too, but maybe like 50%, not 99%!

Maybe I will log in in a month again. Maybe I find a not passworded game then

[Mecron]

oooor...start your own UN-passworded game

[Astax]

or we could find out the master password

[Dereknor]

I just wonder why there are so many passworded games in sots. Last night I saw 16 passworded games. The ratio is like 10 passworded games to 1 open game, thats very unusuall. I know of other games, where like 30% of the games are passworded, but not like 90%. Is there a reason, that players in sots are so afraid of other players? I mean, something has to be different in sots to other games.

I just wish I could just log in and join a sotsgame to have fun for some hours.
And its nearly impossible to find other players in the chat, because its usually empty, or people just comming in and leaving again. And others are just afk in the chat. And when I open a game myself, noone seems to join. Just think most of the players are trapped inside passworded games. And most people I see comming online are just jumping inside a psswordgame. It just seems that all open notpassword players are gone for a long time

[zanzibar196]

Unfortunately, 90% of the 90% of the people that have passworded games do not post or read this forum... so I guess the answer will never be known!

[Mecron]

ok...I am not going to get into the thing where you guys are all complaining about something you have the power to fix...that is just too weird. But I will say that from my last burst of heavy online play around xmas, there was a marked increase in the level of braindead/sabotage types logging into games. I suspect you are seeing the backlash from that. THe downside to increasing popularity I guess.

[Allattar]

I never password my games.

You are all welcome at any time of the match too.

[U.E.D.C.]

If I could ever manage to update my game I'd play non password, to bad every DL for me is an overnighter, so I probably woudn't even be able to play MP cause of connection speed.
