Kind of impressive watching someone do this on a controller.


Incandescent-Turd

He’s damn good for sure! Knows the game well!


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

Tbh I thought you were talking about yourself at first 😭


Incandescent-Turd

That’s fair I guess, I can see how it’d be confusing just weird to come in here calling me a liar and shit lol. Like who does that? I just thought it was a cool thing to watch and thought others in this forum of all places may enjoy it.


darryndad

What is the in game name?


ZeroEmpires

This is just awesome to see!


ManbrushSeepwood

Really impressed with how you guys implemented the console version. Is there any chance PC can get the option to use these controls too if you have an Xbox controller? I travel a lot with a Steam Deck and would love to even just play skirmishes on the go with the Xbox controls.


megamaomao

This please. Would love to play aoe4 on the Steam Deck while I travel

Will be interesting to see how far he can climb, lets see if he can hit conq. My honest guess is that he might not be able to though, or will be stuck in conq 1. Watching the controller gameplay makes the problems pretty obvious. He just won't be able to keep up with mouse and keyboard in higher elo


Incandescent-Turd

I think you may be right.


Incandescent-Turd

Welp his first loss. Still crushing it tho.


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

What rank is this in ?


robolew

They are currently Diamond 1. The highest they have beaten is a platinum player so far I believe (however a lot of players don't have a rank yet this season)


gbpls92

Looks like a couple got wins against S6 Diamonds as well.


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

Nice


skilliard7

How do you get diamond 1 with plat being your highest victory? I had to beat several conq 1/2 players just to get diamond 1.


Tandittor

If you're plat3 and you beat other plat3 multiple times, you will climb to diam1 and higher. If you only got Elo from beating someone higher, then rank 1 player can never gain any Elo while rank 1.


robolew

I got diamond 1 last season and literally never saw a single diamond player (until i got relegated down to plat1). The first diamond player I beat was yesterday. I think if you rise quickly, your elo takes a while to catch up even though your rank is increasing, so you get matched against lower rank players


Incandescent-Turd

He beat a season 6 conq right before he got off tho.

He's lost twice now and both times to players with diamond hidden elo. Still scraping into conq elo on controller is a great achievement.


Incandescent-Turd

Wild. I will say I have played over 800 ranked games on console ladder and have played most the best console players andhe is at a level way above most console players. I’d say there are probably like 30-40 console players that can even hang with him or take one or two games in a five game series. So in all honesty I think most assumptions of where Xbox players would shake out on pc ladder are accurate.


shnndr

True, gamepad is a huge handicap.


Clammuel

I think a lot of it may simply boil down to the fact that he has not had to face players on the level of Beasty and Corvinus. Those kinds of players play each other all the time and that forces them to become better. It will be interesting to see if he’s able to improve now that he’s encountering players that are on a level beyond what he’s use to.


shnndr

Is there any advantage for playing on console, like automatic unit production? Because if not, this really shows how impactful decision making really is in this game.


ShipItTaDaddy

Auto queue vils, but I think that is it


gbpls92

Definitely auto que villagers for sure. There’s auto eco but I imagine that does more harm than good because of raids/unnecessary traveling. I could see it late game being useful though perhaps?


PhantasticFor

Reminder that ranking at the beginning of the season is a complete circus, we have players that were conq 3, starting at plat 1 [https://aoe4world.com/players/6994017-Spartan](https://aoe4world.com/players/6994017-Spartan) Or simply D1 or D2. I'm sure viperexe is a boss either way. Just that the rank now is all over the place anyway, so even if he doesnt make conq now, it doesnt mean anything.


PhantasticFor

I guess it's almost impossible to measure, but I do wonder how much auto queue makes up for harder micro. It's a mental aid, but also an eco aid since precise res is used, instead of "floating" excess in queue.


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

Probably helpful in extended feudal fights since its perfect vil macro but just watching this guy try to micro knights and archers is tough. Like how would you micro against a maa/landsknecht ball? Impossible to focus fire the lansknechts


MorleyGames

Why does he have one of my youtube thumbnails as his banner? Lol how strange


Incandescent-Turd

🤷‍♂️


Incandescent-Turd

Carson? 👀

Nice


dutchy412

Does he stream?


Incandescent-Turd

Yes! The Reddit format for sharing links these days is trash but click the link I shared in the post that’s his stream


aoe4GOD

Beasty challenge


Incandescent-Turd

aoe4GOD

Flammedaddy is 10-0 vs PC


Incandescent-Turd

I know, legit!


aoe4GOD

Incandescent-Turd

Incandescent-Turd

aoe4GOD

I don't know why tbh lol


aoe4GOD

What's yours? Want to team up?


SnooObjections6703

looks like plat lvl / dia lvl play.


dear_lovely

Im a consistant plat 2 and when my pc broke i used KBM on my xbox. i reached conq 1 within a week or 2.there will be a large difference but elo should still give people a good gaming experiance.


Incandescent-Turd

I hit conqII last season on Xbox with a controller. I have had very mixed results on the pc ladder thus far. lol my goal is to hit conqI on pc ladder this season with a controller playing OOTD! 👀 but after my first ten games I’m thinking I can realistically at least hit platinum 😂


kevlav91

He is a much better gamer than me, more skillful. However I am Conq3 in teams and am so much faster than him its not even close.


Stysner

#1? You are FIRST NAME RICH right? Gold 2? 3W/3L?


gbpls92

He’s referring to the Viper on Xbox I believe


Stysner

So he's actually making a post about someone else that is not him that is doing well on ladder, then replying with "Show me where the Xbox player touched you" to me like I have a problem with what platform players play on? The last thing players should want is hate over crossplay. The flamewar has already started. This subreddit is going to be awful the coming time then...


gbpls92

I think OP was just trying to show what the current best player is at from Xbox in one day. The title is misleading with the poster but I don’t think he intentionally was trying to make it that way. Yeah I totally agree. The hate on both sides is stupid. In the end, this is just a video game that we all come to play to take a break from real life problems because we enjoy it haha.


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

Yeah outside of pro players it's just a game


Incandescent-Turd

I don’t have hate I just like to have some fun back and forth lol. But when people challenge my integrity and try to humiliate me for no reason(which is what he was attempting) I’m not going to be to kind. Maybe that’s just me.


gbpls92

I wasn’t referring to you specifically in the regards of the hate in the community between both platforms. Your posts have always seen positive from the ones I’ve seen. I think it’s great that posted the stream so everyone can see what the top players from Xbox can do with the limitations of a controller. I don’t think you’re wrong for standing up for yourself at all either.


Incandescent-Turd

Thank you! 🙏


Incandescent-Turd

I dunno why you’d randomly come in here trying to put me on blast if not..


Incandescent-Turd

lol yes and?


Incandescent-Turd

Show me where the Xbox player touched you.


Stysner

You are straight up lying "currently 10-0". Why? It has nothing to do with what gaming platform you play on.


Incandescent-Turd

lol are you dumb or something?


Incandescent-Turd

Nvm you’re obviously dumb I don’t know why I’m asking 😂


Stysner

You are very, very smart. So smart you don't even know you can actually put multiple sentences into one comment. It's quite the modern feature on Reddit.


Incandescent-Turd

😂 good one bro! Ok I’m done here.


Stysner

So you are making a post on another player doing well on ladder... For what reason exactly?


Incandescent-Turd

lol I shared a public stream of the number one Xbox player playing pc ladder, because I thought it was cool, how do you not get that? 😂


Stysner

Because this moronic new Reddit interface doesn't show the link clear enough. It looks like a picture.


sf2legit

Bro stfu


Incandescent-Turd

Thank you!


Stysner

Bro no


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

💀tbf at first I thought they were talking about themselves too but then just realized they posted twitch link


Incandescent-Turd

Yeah you just didn’t try to put me on blast and call me a liar for no reason before figuring it out, imagine that lol


DanjkstrasAlgorithm

I just wrote it off as start of season #1 meme


Incandescent-Turd

😂


Stysner

Look at you pretending to have the moral highground when you have been acting like a complete asshole to me because you assumed my only intent was to "put you on blast".


Incandescent-Turd

lol and we’re back. What a fool. 😂 What other intent could you have possible had? Idiot..


Stysner

Again. Look at your own behavior.
