My creativity comes in spurts from some elusive place deep in my mind , but 90 % of the time I wouldn ' t consider myself creative . <| sep |> This isn ' t just about the draft pick , it ' s also relevant for trying to get the wildcard spot . EDIT Eh , we have the tiebreaker over them , nevermind . <| sep |> ok thanks . I ' m right around that 5 wk mark now . I ' m a bit concerned because usually if I buy stuff from US or China it takes like max 34 wks <| sep |> You can do some digging to find peoples opinions on the matter , but just to line out the most basic things . Voobly tends to be smootherhave less Delay then the steam counterpart . Regardless of Ping Steam games always tend to have a decent amount of delay when issuing orders , Voobly still has Delay Especially at the start of a match sometimes but it ' s Generally less , and if a large delay puts you off when issuing orders , Voobly is a no Brainer . Voobly also has the Userpatch which has a Pathfinding fix , the baseline Pathfinding of the game is questionable at best , so along side less delay , this is usually the other deal breaker . The Userpatch also has a few of the AoE 2 HD features that were added An example that you should be able to relate too coming from SC 2 , In base AoE , You can ' t queue multiple units from buildings in a single control group like you can in SC 2 , you had to manually go between them all and queue a unit . The Userpatch and AoE 2 HD has a feature where when you press to build a unit , it queues it up in all buildings in that current control group , similar to SC 2 . . And Voobly is also where you ' ll arguably find the highest level of competition , that ' s not to say good players don ' t play on HD , but it ' s where most of the top level players Used to play before the game came out on steam , and it attracts more players there because of it . AoE 2 HD does have some decent point , the expansions are fun for people who are bored of the standard civs , and while you Can play them on Voobly , you ' re chances of finding a game in Voobly for them is quite low compared to just booting up HD . HD with the recent performance patch of 4 . 8 also seems to run faster although granted , if you ' ve got a good PC this isn ' t an issue regardless . People also say the AoE 2 HD community is a lot more casual , I can ' t really speak for this myself as I refuse to play with the 5 hour delay , but it stands to reason that less competitive players more casual . I ' d say if you ' re looking to just dick around and enjoy the game , and you don ' t mind a bit of delay . Stick with Steam as it ' s a minimal investment for a decent payoff . If you ' re at all looking to stick with the game for a while and are willing to invest time into it . Voobly is the way to go for now .
