they were over when i've played it for the first time but it doesnt change the fact its still a great mod which provides a lot of fun.

ik, thats just not true. i havent seen tribulex playing for like a half a year not to mention that babbles completely disappeared O_o if you got bored of xta, fine. but dont look for excuses to justify it, they are making the mod and community look bad.

Recursivity. No one loves me, so I dont love anyone, so no one loves me, etc. etc. until a singularity forms.


No but really, I was just messing with bashar, who seems to have chosen to separate himself from the kindly gaze of Tribulex :P

Just to clarify... people are suggesting that these "glory days" were when the mod was balanced by Noize, spiders were the win button wtfpwnall units that raped air, crasher lines were super duper op, hlt was uber, the t2 eco was a complete joke, stumpy/raider never got used by good players, pyro rush was the only build to truly rival spider rush in its lolopness, carriers self d'd as noox, t1 gunships were epic op (but everyone was spamming crasher anyway) Eeeeeeeeeeeeeetc.

Seriously, people are talking a lot of bullshit.

Xta current balance is, Imo, better than any previous versions.

I have raged about Noruas' additions much more than most people in this thread, and I can honestly say that they have a very minor impact on competitive games.

You know what the biggest real balance change of the "Noruas era" is? (Disregarding fixing eco and sea being turned from a pile of floating turds to the best naval game on spring)

It is AA missile wobble.

If you don't understand how that wobble affected play, and why it was so important, GTFO this thread.

There are a lot of mature, nice people who play XTA, and we have quite a lot of us regularly on skype together. I would go so far to say that the biggest disruptive influence/troll amongst the XTA players is myself, and I know IK at least has no problem with me being in the same game (or clan).

On a final note, to reiterate: AA lines are for noobs. People who say AA is op in XTA are 99% butthurt BA players who can't deal with non-disposable units. Maek stumpy, maek flash, maek thud, maek storm. All can easily beat cost in AA. The real threat of AA line is when they hit critical mass, and can do enough damage to their target before they get into their firing range. If that is the case, you failed 10 minutes ago when you did fuck all about the enemy massing AA.

This thread is retarded.

Hey tribulex we should go NOTA trolling again, xD.

And Bashar, as far as Big Boss is concerned, the last time we checked his score was 100000, while yours mmm, somewhere countable. Its just that when he had his highscore, that he realized even after pwning you, you kept coming back for more, and theres nothing fun then already being #1, just because you keep argueing with an egotistic foreigner that cannot understand complex statements due to a lack of good english. Big Boss wins because he realized you were invinciblely stubborn, thicker then the moon, and saved probably the rest of his life arguing with you.

If the glory days were being homos with other xta players about a year ago, then this mod must of really sucked without the homos, and tbh, theres a lot more homos in NOTA if you want to find a new mod.

The original question has been answered, and this argument doesn't belong in a public forum.
