Steam thread's new releases trip reports are a service to all. It's legit good. If it comes here, they should be welcomed as sorta gay but well meaning bros. :hfive:

Swapping Dota threads seems like the best candidate honestly since it generates the most reports according to Kewpuh. We can provide a public service and have fun while doing so.

Ideally you'd want to gas all Dota and LoL threads on the forums, then make a single "Dota & LoL" thread in Imp Zone.

I like the idea of a MOBA ghetto more than that, since every big company is making one and the communities for every single one make MMO communities look amazing in comparison

Isn't there a pretty cool mod (The Long War or something) that got released recently? Apart from that, nothing much.

there's a mod called long war that's eternally coming out that keeps the thread alive mostly

i say eternally coming out, because basically the developers are obsessed to the point of creepiness with imposing their ultra hardcore spergvision on the game, which isnt really a bad thing because it's a mod and who cares and also because probably a solid half of their ideas are actually good, but they do it in the worst way possible aka by adding a hundred and one sperg features to every 1 bugfix they release

i'm not even remotely exaggerating when i say the last 3 beta releases have had major bugs that rendered the game uncompletable, rendered a large percentage of the content they've haphazardly crammed into it useless or inaccessible, or, more commonly, both

their solutions to these bugs are typically to release a hex edit that will fix it and then sit on an actual released bugfix for a month+...at which point they release a ton of new spergy features on top of it that breaks something else.

this is further enriched by the fact that there's a handful of ultra rabid long war zealots in the thread like amanasleep, who recently got the xcom: enemy within thread locked by being a loving idiot about the mod and led a 2-page long bitch fit when i had the gall to say 'hey maybe they should fix bugs before adding new features'

Borrowing gamers.txt would be pointless because it basically follows the Imp Zone rules already (the only way you can get probated or banned in gamers.txt is by posting porn AFAIK).

Besides there's already a bunch of people shitposting in there.

i prefer ufo defense's stupid bullshit to new xcom's, honestly, in no small part because large squad size meant there was some buffer to bad poo poo happening and lack of leveling perks meant losing my leveled guys wasnt as harsh. its a pretty different kind of game though

The international thread should be moved to the sports argument stadium. And id suggest bringing the normal dota thread in here and giving both threads the same name.
