Carand: Do you play many different RTSes?
dignitasapollo: At the moment no, I do like to play battlefield2 every now and then to take out some noobs
I will be looking into playing Starcraft 2 next.
Metalon: Not really. ATM I don’t got time for any other game than C&C3, though i like playing CSS from time to time.
knolz: I played WC3, but i only play C&C3 now. But I will reinstall SC & WC3 just for fun next week.
Pazy: Your comments make you sound like your bored with the game, is that an accurate assesment?
dackelcc: Yes, I don't really like the game to be honest. I am only playing the game still due to WCG and other events
radu12345: At what point do you like the game the most?
dignitasapollo: When the screen says "You are Victorious"
radu12345: In what skills do you excel in C&C 3?
dignitasapollo: I like my adaptation skills and my creativity, which you will see when these games are broadcasted =)
Colonel Tempest: what’s your favourite race/unit?
dignitasapollo: Scrin and LE mastermind
dackelcc: GDI, APC with engineer inside.
knolz: Scrin, but i think i will play all the races after Xfire Trophy ! Engineer is my favourite unit..
radu12345: In what skills do you excel in C&C 3?
knolz: I think I’m good in micro, because in WC3 the micro is very very important, maybe the most important thing in the game. But sometimes i make mistakes about micro, it happens.
zinho97: do u like the game?
dignitasapollo: Yea its ok =)
radu12345: What did you think when you saw how much space the game took?
dignitasapollo: Not much, I just installed it lol
Carand: Are the nice graphics essential or just a bonus? i.e. if the visuals would look like crap but the gameplay was still the same, would you still play cnc3 at such a high level?
dignitasapollo: I turn all graphics down to minimum. Yes I would play it, like Starcraft, not a good looking game but has the best gameplay ever, graphics don’t mean much to me =)
dackelcc: I don't care about the graphics, as long as the screen is clear.
knolz: I don't care about graphics. I play on a laptop with a 19"LCD screen, USB keyboard and mouse, so i can't play with high graphics details. So it's just a bonus for me :p
Metalon: The graphics isn’t really that important for me. It has very little effect on the gameplay, so as long as it's OK to look at – I’m happy=)
radu12345: How do you think the other players would react when they saw you online, or in real life? And they talked for you, for real? (Like me)
dignitasapollo: I have met a lot of players from online in real life, its cool to see the faces behind the screens. I have met dackel before as well, ugly =)
knolz: I think they will be afraid, not because I’m ugly, but because I’m very tall (2.00m)
[Xfire] Artaxs: So, Dackel, you put Engineers in an APC so that you can get them close enough to enemy buildings to capture them? They don't do anything while they are inside the APC?
dackelcc: Indeed, I just use the APC as means of transportation. Once I am near a building I just unload the engineer and capture the building.
Colonel Tempest: do you think the games is worth buying now?
dignitasapollo: In the competitive sense, no. If you play for fun, then yea why not
Metalon: If you like RTS games - yes
radu12345: Do you think the development team will provide the gamers with a sequel of this game?
dignitasapollo: lol there is a sequel...
Xfire] Artaxs: Do your games often go on long enough to create superweapons like Nukes or Rift Generators?
Metalon: Well some times very few times, but superweapons is not often to be seen in highskilled matches.
^}
^ĐŗåģōʼnҐϊŕĕ: What will Kane's Wrath do about the unit spam?
dignitasapollo: No idea lol Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes in cnc3
Xfire] Artaxs: Mammoth Tanks = Best Unit in the game?
knolz: Tripod is the best !
Metalon: Tripods owns mammoths anytime!
dignitasapollo: Nah, I would say tripods are the best!
Colonel Tempest: who’s your favourite character?
dackelcc: I don't care about game characters, I just want to play a good game.
Colonel Tempest: do you play any c&c mods?
dignitasapollo: No, as no tournaments support mods, well decent tournaments
knolz: No, i don't like to play game or mods if it's not for competition.
Pazy: Do you still play Tiberium Dawn or Red Alert ever? And if so is it online or offline?
dignitasapollo: I play original generals sometimes when I am bored, I play online
knolz: I played all the C&C games, but not competitively, just for fun or try the game.
Gambler: What do you pros think about the upcoming patch 1.09, which will slow the hole economy down by around 35% - Is that a good way to stop spamming and force more micro?
Metalon: Well I sure hope so, but it's really hard to say until we actually get to play the patch I’m afraid.
dignitasapollo: Well, in theory it should change the way units are spammed, but I feel only in the first few stages of the game, late game units will still be massed as you will have more money then. I should bring the players with the better micro to the top as units will mean more to you if you lose them.
radu12345: Do you enjoy playing with lower ranked players, even if you easily defeat them?
knolz: Oh no ! I prefer losing against good players. You couldn’t improve your skill if you play against low ranked players.
Metalon: No that's pretty boring as u get no practice out of it. So i try to play against players as close to my level as possible.
radu12345: Which of you is the best player?
knolz: We will see tonight ! but I think it's dackel or apollo.
^}^ĐŗåģōʼnҐϊŕĕ: How much hours do you train a week?
dackelcc: Right now, I am trying to play as much as possible, as the WorldCyberGames are about to happen. Although, I don't have too much time, as I am also busy learning for school. Two hours a day on an average
knolz: It depends on if i must be ready for an event. I tried to play 3 hours in a day when i prepared WCG France, but i play basketball so it's difficult to do the both.
radu12345: Do you think the high system requirements and space requirement are and will continue to be a problem to gamers without killing gaming rigs?
dignitasapollo: You always need to update, its the same in consoles, a 512ram computer is on the same level as a ps1, and a 2gig ram memory computer is level to a ps3 etc. You will need to upgrade with everything in life.
Carand: Do you think cnc3 comes close to Starcraft as a reference for the rts industry?
dackelcc: No.
Metalon: You can't really compare this game with Starcraft at all I’m afraid.
dignitasapollo: No where near, look how popular SC is in Korea, its basically their national sport. It’s a fantastic game, its a shame anyone who doesn’t play 14hours a day cant compete with the professional in Asia.
^}^ĐŗåģōʼnҐϊŕĕ: How many hours do you train a week to become this good?
dignitasapollo: Personally, I train about 10hours a day for about a week before a big tournament, because of my sponsors through team dignitas, this isn’t a problem in terms of money, During a normal period where no tournaments are played, you only need to play a minimum of about 2hours a day to keep fresh.
radu12345: Is it hard for people like you to keep up with the other gamers who are becoming better and better by each passing day?
Metalon: Of course! You gotta play ALOT to keep up with the best.
Colonel Tempest: what’s your opinion of clans?
Metalon: Clans isn’t really that important in this game other than having good players to train with.
radu12345: Is it hard for people like you to keep up with the other gamers who are becoming better and better by each passing day?
dignitasapollo: This depends on how much time you put into the game yourself, if you put in 3hours a day while someone else is playing 12hours a day, he is obviously going to be better than you at the end of the time period"
