Just wondering if anyone is left here

What's HW?

Homework

Homeworld

Hey at least I got half the word right. Anyway, I've stopped playing the game as I find it to be quite stressful at times.

Hard Wank.

I played that last night.

Just wait for Hard Wank 2. It doesn't have as much content as the original but it's still faithful to the series.

I thought this was going to be some weird Hero Wars ad. Those ads keep showing up and I just don't get the appeal of fighting monsters just to level up.

That is my contribution to this thread. 2 fuggin' sucks. I don't care if the models and animations are higher quality, they streamlined things too much.

I'd direct you to the Homeworld sub-forum, but it seems you are already acquainted that section. The posts before yours are from January 27th, 19th, and 8th. So the game still has an active community.

I've actually briefly tried that game, and to me it doesn't seem to be anything like those ads claim. You could say I fell for those constant ads.

If those ads were true, it would be a rather weird game anyway, a simple algebra game for preschoolers "hmm which number is bigger, my 45 or that baddies 999?". In reality the gameplay is quite different, trying to push you constantly to buy upgrades etc. for real money, microtransactions. I played and finished the first Homeworld game 1-2 years ago, both the original and the remake.
Then i started Homeworld: Emergence, but I got kinda stuck or bored in one of the early missions.

I recall being annoyed by Emergence how there were some missions where I was supposed to find some ship in the area, with no idea at which direction it was, and then trying to harvest the whole area to all directions in 3D. Also in some mission it was a bit unclear what I was actually supposed to do to trigger some event in order to advance in the mission, I think I even broke the mission a couple of times, not being able to trigger the next event and having to restart the mission from the very start...

I think I was stuck in the HW: Emergence mission where you were supposed to escort some big damaged ship to safety and fend of any enemies attacking it, but quite often that ship just wouldn't start moving at all, and it was unclear what exactly I was supposed to do to make it move, or was the game mechanism broken and I needed to restart the mission.

Also, generally Homeworld games have this problem that their controls are somewhat complicated (because it is in a 3D space with all kinds of camera controls and keyboard shortcuts etc., much more than in the oldskool 2D RTS games I'm used to), so if I take a pause from the game for some weeks or months like I've done now, I pretty much have to re-learn the game controls again. It is not like Starcraft or Age of Empires 2 to which I can easily just jump in and continue the game, even after a long pause.

Homeworld III is supposed to be released, in a few months.

Reason why I was asking is because I'm planning on reviving my mod for hwrm, homeworld universe mod
Gonna be looking for play testers, I didn't get a chance to fix after gbx released their patch in 2016 was working 6 days a week for 2 yrs till end of 2017, then eventually got put on ssi 3-4 yrs ago and because I didn't have a working pc got addicted to mobile games on my phone. After I heard the announcement for hw3 was made decided I wanted a working pc so i.started buying PC parts last October to build a new pc, waiting on Friday to come to buy last parts for my build. I didn't buy in November or December didn't see any deals I cared for. Anyways now that I got nothing but time I wanted to get the mod working again mostly to play with friends of mine etc. Original classic mod had 22 races and I'll be sticking to 10 for the remastered one. Races will be hiigaran vaygr kushan taiidan turanics kadeshi somtaaw beast progenitor republic taiidan. Got new HD models thanks to the work herocrafter did and will have new models that were just artwork and now given form example the taiidan super carrier.
