Ryuken’s comment reminded me, you need to advertise for the Wiki more Cyde :P

But more seriously, its really starting to take shape I think, so making a post here asking for articles, or even just suggestions for articles, would be a good idea right now. We need more wiki!

It’s an excellent blog. I think you’re getting a nice balance of replay strategy breakdowns, balance discussion and other stuff. It’s nice to see a news site that approaches things from a multiplayer focussed perspective.

I think I’d like to see a few interviews with GPG staff as well. Get them to talk about what they’re allowed to talk about. No need to press them with a hundred questions like “Whens the addon pack coming” “No comment” type of thing. There are lots of interesting things they are permitted to discuss. Concentrate on those.

I’d also like to see a few interviews with the likes of Unconq and Echez. You can’t beat commentary from people who actually know what they’re doing. Maybe a joint interview with Mentel and Unconq about the 2vs2 ladder?

A word to say “thanks”, this blog is a daily reading.
I like very much the “Map profile” idea : having all the ranked maps debriefed this way would be great, especially if you deliver a short list of interesting and commented replays showing efficient/most common tactics for each map (to add practical examples to theory).
Keep up !

Like everything about the site until now, but how’s the SupCom-wiki going? I read somewhere on the official boards there are several wiki’s but all of them not just that complete yet so one of the creators asked for one big wiki.

And if you guys could, some Q&A with GPG would be awesome (can be about everything SupCom-related; how the sales were going, what’ll be in store for GPGnet or the unit packs, what user mods they’ve liked themselves already, etc.)

My bad. That was a little unclear. I like the replay reviews you guys are doing, mostly because they support commentary on what to do and not to do strategically. Once again, because it’s intelligent commentary. But I stopped paying attention to gamereplays because people would post a replay with a question, only to have fourteen morons pointing out everything wrong with their playstyle and never addressing the question. I think that’s what I meant by a replay vault.

Of course it’s not a replay vault and I don’t intend to convert it into one, but … you don’t like my analyses of replays? (Or did I misinterpret you?) I was thinking that was one of the best features I had going. Lots of people are downloading and watching those replays and reading along in the summary.

So this is definitely a daily read for me. I think the worst possible thing this site could do is go for “mass appeal”. It’s not a news site nor a replay vault nor a public forum. It’s a haven for intelligent commentary on one of the best strategy games ever. Stick to your guns. You’re doing a great job; this place rules. :)

to Grokmoo:
I am also an experienced player. I held steady against Cyde for at least two of his three waves, though his third crushed me. I have much to learn, but I will give you a fight. Perhaps we can set something up between the three of us sometime. I am busy but a planned game would be workable.

I’m actually looking forward to the upcoming nerf of Aeon. Prior to reading online about other people playing, I played as Aeon and I like them, but I kind of feel bad about it because *everybody* plays Aeon.
Does that make sense?

will someone work on a “quick balance fix” mod ? Shouldn’t be that hard to tweak a few units here and there to make the cybrans playable and fuck up those t3 uef gunships.. ?
