I picked up 2210 the other week, I've been meaning to pick it up for a while now, and contempating picking up the zombie expansion from Insurgency Games.

Is Godstorm worth picking up? And has anybody tried the modern Risk released a months back?

The one with the headquarters (or Capitol, I don't know from what it is translated), cities and stuff? We got it for Xmas, it is interesting, but some stuff like the airfield in it gives too much bonus.

Zombie expansion? Elaborate.

Godstorm is really good. troops goto hades and have a chance to come back. you fight a second round in hades after your turn.

Insurgency Games has put out a couple unofficial expansions for 2210, one is a Zombie pack found at http://www.insurgencygaming.co.uk/ig_ri ... e_dead.htm

It sounds interesting enough that I am thinking about it, but i would be much happier if somebody who actually played it was able to review it. So far i've yet to see one.

I've not seen one Pred mission since the changes

i play 12+ hours a day and still ahvent seen the new lvl 2 missions yet. Do they exist???

They exist, you just dot have anyone hard enough to spawn them.

I've seen 2 maybe, within the past 24-36 hours or so.

again with a request for higher ratios. some times i go hours with no opponents.

i'm not even asking for tons of missions, just a few more. enough to actually do stuff

The problem is, as I see, is that there's still 2 0-3 missions (per sides) in the generator against 1 2-4 mission (that I believe are only push generated, but correct me if I'm wrong)

Everything apart from the bot v con and pred v max 0-3's are push gen and rely on the Beasties or L4's to spawn them. (The RNG does still spit them out, but it's very rare.)

That is the only way we we're able to stop the masses of pred/bot and max/con missions that remained empty and the situation was far worse for all sides back then.

So, if the preds/maxis want L2-4 missions, they need an L4 to spawn them.

thank you for explaining that. i thought i was lvl 2's and up could spawn them. i was misunderstanding. (insert blatant attempt at funny comment of me doing that alot below)

It would probably help if the people who could go level 4 went level 4 to generate those missions eh? But that's just a observation from me.

shhhh. You know they're too busy patting each other on the back for doing something hundreds of others have done for years!

are you sure level 2s can't spawn them?

everytime there are no missions up and I have a level 2 active a 2-4 mission pops up

I don't get the constant jibes from you Burn,
you are always making sarky comments about people and I don't think there is any need for it.

If someones done well they deserve a pat on the back, I don't know if its jealousy or you just don't like new people playing the game game and maybe it doesnt concern me but come on man, your putting people off

Shhh! Can't say that or they'll get mad and point out how the past doesn't matter, but we all already know that when v2 comes around, they'll be bragging about their "achievements" in v1. Look at the meltdowns suffered when the logs were wiped out.

Who has said the past doesn't matter? What people are saying is that what is happening now also matters

Chronic wrote:Who has said the past doesn't matter? What people are saying is that what is happening now also matters

It was said quite a bit after the reset.

I'd just like to see some 2-4 missions. To bad that none of the players who could easily be level 4 and push gen those missions don't have the bearings to go that high eh?

I suppose it depends in what context it was said, either way I can't comment because I wasn't involved with any of that.

I too would like to see more Lv4 opponents, and agree that if you can you should level up - I just dont think there is any need for snidey comments

The world goes around on snarky comments. It's what humor is based off of after all. Though, in this case, they may be justified. The 2-4 missions were added what? 2-3 weeks ago? Level 4 can be reached at about 700k. The missions were added because the high level 3s asked for them before they reached the point they could go up to level 4, now pretty much the top characters on the high score list could be push generating those missions, that they asked for, but they refuse to go up. Why?

Firstly I'd hate to think that was true, snarky comments are not funny, sarcasm on the other hand has its place

and like I said I agree with you about the Lv4s but what this;

Burn wrote:shhhh. You know they're too busy patting each other on the back for doing something hundreds of others have done for years!

has got to do with that I have no idea

and then your response

Shhh! Can't say that or they'll get mad and point out how the past doesn't matter, but we all already know that when v2 comes around, they'll be bragging about their "achievements" in v1. Look at the meltdowns suffered when the logs were wiped out.

Like I am or have been bitching about anything like that

anyway I didn't want to get into a whole discussion about it, Im just saying leave out the snidey coments

Snarky and sarcasm are pretty much the same thing. The real difference is how you choose to interpret them.

As for Burn, I understand. He's a mod. So moderator + sarcasm = snarky arse.
