dead players?
Hello, I am new to this site but in the first four games I joined, each game has at least 1 player that isn't doing anything. This means at least 24hrs of no playing, nothing. Is this the norm for games?

Sometimes when you play games with completely random users, you'll get a few that don't bother to show up. Play a few more games, and once you get out of being a New Recruit, you'll find that your options will expand, and you may have fewer deadbeats.

Re: dead players?
Deadbeats abound, just wait until you get 3 in a 5 man game. It takes a reeeeaaaallllllyyyyy long time to get anything done.
Add that to the fact that the "random" dice rolling seems to be heavily weighted to the defence and be prepared for a wonderful time.

Re: dead players?
Quite a lot of players new to the site sign up for a game, then forget about it. If you're playing with new recruits, then unfortunately having at least one player per game deadbeat is indeed the norm.
Once you have completed 5 games, your number of game options will significantly expand, to include 6-8 player games, terminator, assassin, team games, and a number of new maps. Because new recruits can't join those games, having opponents deadbeat is the exception rather then the norm there.

Re: dead players?
Ty for the replies. We now have two in two of the 4 games, but it is ok, just increases the odds. Now only if I could get the random dice to roll like I do in real life.

Re: dead players?
if you find the trick to rolling better let me know. Best trick I have tried so far is don't use auto assault and take a shot every time you lose two armies. It doesn't help my odds but it does keep my BAC nice and highScorsair wrote:Ty for the replies. We now have two in two of the 4 games, but it is ok, just increases the odds.
