Retreat function useless.... ?!

Postby McGeifer » 26 May 2013, 14:08

HI,

since now I played around 10 GW games, lost 7 or 8 of them and always lost my ACU. There is now way to use the retreat function because of the long time you need to teleport out. The biggest problem I think is that you can't move while the teleport i charging. Im no pro player and most of the GW tester seems to be much more better then me. For now I stop playing these matches because there is no chance for a player like me to escape of these mathces.

Is there any solution on the way? There is no appel on further games for me if I loose my ACU every game I can't win.

greets

You sound that you forgot that it is much faster to recall if your ACU is in his base, near spawn point. So, in order to not lose your ACU, you should not wander too far from your base. Especially if you don't have confidence in winning, use your ACU defensively, and not offensively. In your base, the recall will take only 10 seconds.
Maybe the time to recall will be lessened later when you are further from your base, but for now, the way to not lose your ACU is as I described.

Although it depends on the map, it almost seems like the recall function is almost OP: If your enemy scouts, and has good situational awareness (and wasn't too aggressive with the ACU) you cannot prevent his escape. This is probably good.

I think you just need to improve upon your ability to determine whether you are winning or losing a game.
