Hi guys.

I've noticed too many people are unaware of their ability to change which landscape and/or game mode they'll put forward for their selection in an online game. I personally didn't use the "Serious Worms" button for months when I first started playing, mostly because I read up that one can lose ones Island Items in an online game, which obviously turned out is only on Tactics mode.

Just a heads up to those who are unaware of how to change their online gameplay settings:
1. Use the Serious Worms button.
2. Select the type of game.
3. Select the amount of opponents you wish to play against.
4. Modify the landscape/game mode accordingly.
5. Select Accept.

People are either too lazy or too stupid to change this. If only the game would select landscapes randomly as the PSP version, we wouldn't have to end up playing "Nuclear" and "Pro" with a probability of more than 50%.

i always chose quickplay because i didnt want to be limited in the games it found. but your saying that it only changes what the choice is? and ill have the same likeliness of getting a game?

anyone ever able to get a game on forts? i never have....

See, you can either select quick play which will then use the stored area (usually Chemical or Nuclear), and Pro.

Going into Serious Worms allows you to change the stored area, once changed it stays the same until you exit the game.

For example, I log on, go into serious worms -> Deathmatch -> 1 -> Change Area to Underwater -> Accept.

I then immediately cancel, go to the main online screen and do a Quick Play -> Deathmatch.


On the forts question: I am unsure as to how many people play anything other than Deathmatch.



Also note: The game does not store your Game Mode (The Pro/Bigbang/Beginner modes), only the area. And the area has to be set each time you startup the game if you want it to be different.

Have fun! ^_^

Okay, so why do you go back to Quick Play at all? As long as you've set Serious Worms to two players, you can play with people who went with Quick Play as well.

I've never played Forts, but a few matches of Triathlon (which consists of Deathmatch, Forts and Rope Race).

I've also played several four players matches - not with random people, though. Seems like it's absolutely impossible to find a game if you search for four players, ever. :(

i love forts, im determined, ive been leaving it running looking for games alot lately... i actually got 3 games this morning! if someone wants to play forts, ima start trying all day on sundays... i got nothing better to do anyway...

I'd rather not say why.. :P
Suffice to say that the step back to "Quick Play" isn't necessary at all. ^_^

Hey, I'd love that! ^_^ What's your usual gaming hours on weekends?

#1 im american central time....

but yeah im usually playing deathmatch games in the evenings and late sometimes during the week, but on sundays ive become determined to get forts games... so my typical past few sundays ive spent from about noon - 8 pm looking for forts games... ive actually managed to get like 6 or 7 of them over the past few weeks.... today i got a late start so didnt turn on the wii til a lil before 3, but ill be on for a bunch of hours today.. starting now.... hopefully ill get some more games today.....

everybody should come find me... im gonna probably keep it consistent... sundays i clean my house, so its nice to be washing dishes and be surprised that a game gets found.. gives me an excuse for an undeserved break!

HW I'd love to play with you, maybe you can post your FC on the thread. Trying to get EXP to unlock items too.
