Re: Hw2 reunion nights
Who is she ? |
||||||
| Xerxes|TFL |
I’ll try everything to keep dec 30th free and will talk to Star (yes, he lives!) if he’ll join us. :) | ||||||
| Hideki |
lol @ xbomber... somehow... for whatever reason... he means... me...-_-
w00h00 @ tfl stomping night! (hopefully we can gather and remember which clan was da king...) btw are u guys talking like yet another 4am jap time crap?  ... hmm, maybe i sleep at 8pm before that day...-_- altho giving chance to tfl by being sleepy is one thing...
|
||||||
| cloaked |
Sup Dark, been wondering when u guys were gonna have some nub fest.  Hope to see lots of old hw2 m8's
(Hid plz remind me again closer to dec30th  )
|
||||||
| Hideki |
Sure, just train your skill to at least match that of average player's by then
|
||||||
| cloaked |
I thought the more nub the better - no? 
|
||||||
| [TFL]DaftPhunk |
Hey guys,
it`s been a while, life kept me busy bla bla.... so, Dark had a good idea, I will try to be there on December 30th. Looking forward to some games with well-known "faces". Sincerely, Daft |
||||||
| [TFL]BigBANGtheory |
I'll try to sort something out but forget the skills its been so long since I played HW2 i'll have to run through the tutorial again 
I would suggest a few free-for-all maps/games first up to remind everyone what the right mouse button actually does
December 30th is a Tuesday does anyone have any total No No for that date? |
||||||
| MiniEVIL|GENESIS| |
Come | ||||||
| [TFL]Star |
Ill be happy to be there and meet all the noobs once again
|
||||||
| [TFL]Tank0 |
lol , reminds me of night of the living death . brains , send more brains |
||||||
| Hideki |
Uh oh, hope we aren't seeing 'meh, look, I was away for X months ffs!' excuses fly all over!
Just to say, I haven't played for like 6 months or so as well, so I wouldn't accept 'pfft, hid ur life is about hw2 to this day lol' crap when I win again.
Off topic but I thought tank had more post count? And what time are we aiming at? I need to schedule it in case it's from 3am to 9am or some time...-_- (Which is probably right.) And who's asking the newbiest clan baps to show up as well? |
||||||
| Dark|TFL |
I am looking forward to seeing u all so we can do some tfl hw2 lobby ownage .
ok hideki ur posts r very high,its like u r one of the most active members , i know deeply inside of u , u want to be a tfl but ur afraid to be rejected because of ur skills, but now tfl accepts many, so don't be afriad. |
||||||
| Hideki |
man, teaching tfl many things got my post count so high.
and i guess i'll keep sitting on the first class seat for the time being. |
||||||
| [TFL]BigBANGtheory |
ah yeah the baps dudes, such a shame HW2 is 3 vs 3 max I seriously hope they allow for more players if HW3 makes it out the door.
Its a pity you never made it to Company of Heroes Hid, we could have had a riot Bar-B-Q korean wannabe RTS players into the early hours. |
||||||
| Hideki |
oh, CoH... I did try the demo and thought 'k, going back to hw2' lol... Maybe I could give a try again, but it's a bit too late... | ||||||
| MiniEVIL|GENESIS| |
HW 2 rulez and i dont think theres gona be HW3 as HW2 had too many crapy and unbalanced mods and it ruined the hope of extention... | ||||||
| Hideki |
Started practicing hw2 online, so I won't get totally owned by mighty TFLz
I guess some of you guys do same not to get owned badly by the mighty demonooooooob. OTOH, someone seriously contact baps? I don't have any contact of theirs. |
||||||
| [TFL]Temmu |
I will be there dec 30th.
And tank deleted his account awhile back and had to restart 
I havent played in 2 years now so if i beat any of you guys you have no excuse 
I am feeling the might Fatal swarm coming on =) |
||||||
| [TFL]bclaytz |
Yay sounds fun! I shall try my hardest to make this one, I would be reallly grateful if a reminder email could be sent round on the 29th or something :D
I hope you all dont mind a massive handicap turning up.. |
||||||
| [TFL]Temmu |
Your probably on the same skill level as me :P | ||||||
| [TFL]DaftPhunk |
How come you have no Bap contacts..check demon clan account info, since most of them were in ur clan. | ||||||
| Hideki |
oh daft, hunt for baps contact info like u hunt poor deers and pretty chicks!
and u will be there too right? (to add to the body count )
|
||||||
| xbomber |
I didn't know you would accept nubs
|
||||||
| Hideki |
since mighty tflz had beaten every skilled out there completely, he thought it was time to train a couple nubs for a change. | ||||||
| [TFL]Temmu |
I think you just finally wised up and saw your mistake of not joining us long ago =) | ||||||
| Dark|TFL |
well yes u r right,but i thought by giving hideki the feeling he is considered as a skilled player to us,we can take him under our wings and train him to become skilled, but i guess he is still living in the i-own-hw2-universe , so yes he is a hopeless case. |
||||||
| Hideki |
then 30th would be a miracle day to see the hopeless become reality!
(start training if you want to avoid the day of doom =p) |
||||||
| BlackBaps |
Blackbaps here! I still have the contact details for dec, ben and mario so I can ask em if they would be interested in this. I know I would, I just dont know when Ill be away over the holiday season.
Can't believe its been so long since the good ol' days of HW2, I'd love to get back into it with you guys, but I'll need to buy a copy! I'll also try to keep in touch more often on the forums. Black |
||||||
| MiniEVIL|GENESIS| |
U better come n train rather chit chat how good u were | ||||||
| [TFL]Zanarkand |
Homeworld 2 ehh?
hehe , nah Im like 1337 in Sins of a Solar Empire now... and someone needs to keep an eye on Gini . Hes been thinking hes boss in that game. |
||||||
| Radical_TFL |
anyone up for some hw2 today? ill be on xfire. | ||||||
| Hideki |
dooooorky, finally showed up in hw2...-_- but typically, lost a game with him...
and where are other tflz? oh, p5, tell gini to show up in hw2 too, so he will remember who the bosses are 
btw i brought up the long dead http://demonclan.org/ forum back up... with a new method to record a game perfectly. (just not completely finished writing yet though) |
||||||
| [TFL]BigBANGtheory |
I'll try and load up HW2 later today, I'm playin GTA IV atm and it is seriously fun infact I've stopped playin Fallout3 cos of GTA... | ||||||
| Dark|TFL |
well, i have been playing for like 4 days now ( smurfing ofcourse) , and was much fun killing demons and other tfls(and it was so easy), hope to meet u all in 30th.
|
||||||
| Hideki |
seems dark even dreams while playing hw2... but yeah, he needs some help beating other mightier doodz
actually i'd hope to see everyone not just on 30th. that would be like 'hey' '(booms them up in 15 min)' 'gg' 'bye', which is a bit too short. |
||||||
| [TFL]Temmu |
Nah I am going to be able to get back in for some good HW2 games. I wonder if I can host now
|
||||||
| cloaked |
it's cool, you're probably too rusty to make the games fun anyway lol, poke, poke |
||||||
| [TFL]Temmu |
I just installed hw2 but now the game wont run at all =(
Dam I am having absolutely no luck! |
||||||
| [TFL]Tank0 |
before we can help we ll need more info | ||||||
| [TFL]BigBANGtheory |
If you try to run HW2 on Vista I found that you need the v1.1 patch in advance the unpatched game didn't run for me. | ||||||
| Radical_TFL |
last night my hw2 wouldnt run so i reinstalled...but i didnt have the cd key with me and i had to use one i found on the interwebs, which didnt work  so for a few days im not playing...
|
||||||

| Xerxes|TFL |
Star, Xbomber and I just had our first game vs cloaked and 2 smurfs. 2hiig, 1vay on each side, CB. It was a vgg and lasted 1:42h
No time for more details, here are some screenies: http://xerxes.sofa-rockers.org/wp...ploads/2008/12/hw2-reunion-11.png http://xerxes.sofa-rockers.org/wp...ploads/2008/12/hw2-reunion-12.png |

| cloaked |
Man that was an awesome game. One of the longest game's I've ever played on CB and certainly the only time every single patch on the whole dam map went dry. lol I said I'd do a game report so here goes a quick one: Me (hiig side) Sfu/mother (hiig back) Recycled/jitter (vay front) vs Xerxes (vay side) Xboobs (hiig back) Star (hiig front) We start off keeping our distance from each other. I take a 3rd patch and get some int and then bc/dd. Sfu does bc's and rec does vay swarm. I scout around and it looks like xbomber is on bc, while star/xeres both do fighters > corvs. Everything's cool till about 15mins in when when xbomber jumps 2 bc to my 3rd patch. I jump my first bc to defend, and sfu jumps his 2 bc about 30 seconds latter, we get split up by the gw on xbomber's bc, but i figure its cool since we've got 3 and they only got 2. But suddenly there's another 2 bc behind xbomber's 2 bc!!! I'm shitting my pants now wondering how the hell star got 2 bc, since I've had a probe on him the whole time and he's been making int/pulsar off his cc/ms... So we start fighting there and with my team's bc somewhat split up in a 3v4 situation, we loose our first 3 bc and then another 2 that me and sfu jumped in, killing only 2 of their bc... I'm scratching my head on how they had so many bc, so we scout xbomber and find out he did a bloody sy spam.... Litterally first time I've seen that strat used in over a year since its been shunned by all skilled as way too cheap(t). Sfu is already saying gg in teamchat and going '  ' @ xb in global chat... Anyways I'm never one to give up so I rally my team to fight back. Swarm looks bad, our bc's are all dead, and there's atleast 3 bc marching on us from the side patch - but god dammit I dont wana loose! lol
So I retreat off both my regular patches on the side position, and move my ships next to sfu in the back. They hit us with 4 bc on my side, and 5 dd in the front with lazers from xeres. They take long enough to march those bc all the way into our base though, that me/sfu now have 4 bc aswell and some dd. One of their bc's got ahead of the rest so we pffted that and managed to win the bc fight. Meanwhile recycled is getting toasted by dd/lazer, and now they have another 2 approaching the front of our base. So we move our bc/dd up to help recycled just as they jump another 2 bc in on us there... By now me/rec are both in sfu's starting position, and sfu seems to be the only one collecting from asteriods, . Me and rec are just harvesting debree to keep afloat. We keep fighting over rec's pos for like 40minutes, holding off star/xeres/xb with pointy sticks and lots of pebles... Me/rec take our patches back durring the fighting, but its clear that they have both outside patches aswell as the middle patch, and its over an hour into the game and our asteriods are running out of ru...
We do have some bc advantage though, so the team charges our bc to the middle, and pushes xerxes off the mid patch, killing lots of colls and dd/bc there. We kill all that shit and have 4 bc at mid now, but somehow sfu/rec can't get their bc to move past mid... Basically they would tell bc 'move' but then the bc's see some of xerxes swarm and want to stop moving to go kill some fighters... (F2 guys!!!) Eventually we get our 4 bc into their base, and a bit of probing tells us star has abandoned his empty front patches and moved to the outside patch on my side of the map, xerxes is moving his ms/cc's to the other outside patch since we toasted his base at mid, but xb is still sitting in the back with 2 sy. We should have went after xeres or star, but we end up just charging our bc at xb in his base. We fight in their base for another half hour - but xerxes has a gw at mid, so we have to keep walking re-inforcements into a battle that seems to be going nowhere... Back at home its clear that we have problems. Star has been constantly attacking me on the side with ONE! cc pumping frigs for the last hour, and somehow I've only been able to occasionally send a dd or two to defend vs his frigs, without actually killing the source... (the lack of ru on my team was histerical, we were practially poor beggars out on the street) Well this time they send a bc to help the ions and i get pushed off my patches again and my cc/ms both blow... We kill the bc only once it gets to our sy's.
All the while Xerxes has amassed corvs, and suddenly all the collectors we had running around finding dead bc debree are all dead... The missles continue to rape us until sfu comes up with some ru to start a double torp pump. We kill the missles, but its too late - between the three of us we have maybe 10 collectors, and all our bc have been killed. They jump in and clean our team out after 2 hours of holding it together with no ru and 1/3 of a base against lots of red ships. GG guys, and F*u sy spam, lol Here's the stats in english :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums...meworld22008-12-3014-15-11-52.jpg |

its back alive for reports : http://demonclan.org/ 
and im gonna post some records of some the games i played (encode takes a while, so not yet, but soon enough) gg people. |

Hehe Star and I didn’t know that SY-Spam is ugly. When we actively played Hw2, we constantly got beaten with that strat and now after a few months break, we simply didn’t know its forbidden now …
And we (and you) did a few big mistakes, that made that game so long. :-D Star wasted all his when he attacked with his bcs. When I was there, his ints were all dead. Then we didn’t realize, that our patches were empty and run out of ru. That was, when we stopped pushing forward. And we also thought, that we killed Recycled and that it was 3vs2 now … so we were very surprised by your late swarm. Your biggest mistake was, not to kill me. My MS and CCs were alone in the center (not to far away from your bcs – you could have killed them in one or two minutes. But instead, you went very slowly to xbomber’s sy … :-P I first never thought, we could still win this and I don’t know how Star and X managed to kill your main fleet. And since you couln’t really win the swarm in your base and kill my cols collecting there, I could snipe all your cols with my missiles. :-D vgg to all! |

hey and come more often since few of u managed to come to lobby so we can have skilled games | ||||||
| Xerxes|TFL |
and were have all tfl been? I’ve only seen Star, Cern, Recycled, Apo (only once) and bclaytz (a few secs). maddy? tank0? bbt? rae? daft? …?
And how went the last game, that I left before it started? I really couldn’t play anymore (sore throat, burning eyes, light head ache …) and had strange dreams last night. I hope I’ll be healthy enought to party tonigh :-D Happy New Year! |
||||||
| [TFL]Star |
Hey that game was hell, thx for the nice report cloaked but u mixed up a few names sometimes, but doesnt matter :)
But nice to hear that these smurfs were Recycl and SFU ...lol
We had some ggs yesterday met some people who normally dont show up all at once. But Im a bit disappointed I was hoping that much more TFLs will show up, except me, xerx ,Cern, Recy, there were Byclatz, radical and Apo (saw them only once), Tank, Madi, P5, Rae, Daft, BBT where were u guys 
lol...seems xerx had the same thought 2 mins earlier
|
||||||
| Hideki |
Talking about lack of TFL, where was dark ...-_- I guess this thread hangs on a ghost...
Mini, I'm going to come up with a better strat in shield... But if I sit and do double ions, you have no reason to win if you start attacking though, but that's not how I want to win
|

son has rubella ( german measels )
felt guilty , logged on here and saw noone showed so i went to bed |

Various SY spam victims (do I need to name names?) complained so much that a lot of the "better" players stopped using it. Even in balanced-team skilled games, it takes some of the fun out of things by encouraging bc orgies. I don't think there's anything "cheap" about spam, but I don't do it (except in 2v3 or 2v4) because I like the challenge of winning without it. For the same reason, I don't use ARM-sharing or mod-unlocking unless I know the other team is doing it (and even then I usually skip it unless they're uber-skilled). Mini: Some sy spam complainers also bitched about double DD. It's a crazy world. Xerxes, Star & Xbomber: I encourage you to spam (and use whatever other nasty tricks you can think of you) when you play vs. me, unless I'm stuck with serious nubs. And good to see you ex-Ducks! Maybe you or some other tfls could drag Zanargy out of the Soase lobby for a few hw2 games. |
||||||
| cloaked |
Hehe, indeed no strat is really forbidden. Me and Fin do a ton of 2v4's w/ SY spam, but last year it was typical for both teams to agree not to do sy spam before game, and this year it was pretty much a given. Again, any strat is fine, but obvously it took me/sfu for a big surprise - nothing better scouting couldn't have fixed. -_- | ||||||
| Hideki |
u cheap cheap noobs!
tho, whats cheap is not the spam/share but game quickly turns out as 9 bc vs 9 bc which means, 1 guy go zzz for 5 sec and his team is complete toast... no matter how swarm goes. now thats cheap. also, double dd starts to look stinking on medium sized map where hig/vay team has no way of killing that. (unless vay does some great infil work, but without luck, you're toast fast) which limits how one can choose race in certain maps which is cheap. but on the contrary, i think its a new way to balance an unbalanceable game, where you let a team with pretty bad newb in do the 'cheap' stuff. happy new year. |

| [TFL]Temmu |
Sorry I couldn't make it guys. I was unable to get my homeworld 2 copy working in time to come online and play. Also I was dragged up to canada by my family for the span of dec 30th to jan 5th and unable to get a decent internet signal in order to play. | ||||||
| Dark|TFL |
its ok temmu, u can join us anytime | ||||||
| xbomber |
(...) We ZzZz in the game after sfu said "gg" (kinda thomas 's disease). We lost 5 Bcs and lost control in middle. After this, sfu gave thomas's disease to Xerxes, GG! Xerxes said . CLoaked was so happy and go toward my nub pos with all his stuff, He forgot his left side and my cc. I burned his cc, then i luckly marined his dd while my ions pfft his Ms. During this time i got trouble with 5 bcs on my base; Star had only 1SY and 2 ccs left cause he lost his Ms in middle. I pumped inties and xfer 1 full swarm to star and i got 4 DD at basethat i xfer to him (the 5th one was a cloaked dd i captured). With cloack on Sy and Ms i had enough time to pump my second Bc and 2 dds. Our fighters broke mods on Bcs but we lost Star's SY
During this time Xerxes was on missile corvs+swarm and destroyed all the patches they had . Star and I Pfft the last 5th BC with dd+ bcs and we jumped 3 bcs to their base cause they sold their grav to get money. gg and hf |
||||||
| Hideki |
how about... you join us too...-_- where were you. |
||||||
| MiniEVIL|GENESIS| |
i have seen and been there and thats not the way to say gg when u lose i know its hard to get on with straight loses hid and not the start to blame, between players like u or cloaked i always say its 50/50 ggs i win u lose
|
||||||
| Hideki |
it's not so hard to go by a few straight losses. But you do realize i never go double pump against you to sit still and do exactly as same as your build to gain pure advantage, because that is simply an universal rule to win, which is quite too simple. (Although lately, that rule is about to be broken in shield.)
But it is always gg with people like you who does a tight double pump. (Now with fct) And triple pump lately is starting to stink, looking to drop it. |
||||||
| Dark|TFL |
OK i am back and rolling, need a challenge right now. | ||||||
