It's been a while since I last played tw but when I did I used to use Opera to speed up farming and send sub-second trains. Now I see an error message saying 'unsupported browser' and although I can fast switch between tabs they keep reverting to the same content.
What's going on and is there a version I should be using?

if your sending nobles, use the ingame feature - never fails so is far more reliable.

And if its for fakes, the chrome extension is also more reliable and on a better browser in general so id recomend using that

Yeah just add nobleman attacks ingame. Makes it easy to snipe but saves you being banned for using certain scripts :p

Ingame feature? Am I missing something? Surely you don't mean just send one after another, that will put seconds between each noble. If sniping isn't a challenge I don't really see the point.

The in-game feature makes it guaranteed 100ms between nobles. If you played the game you would know that.

Its a new feature so its not that un likely he doesnt know it...

Pipsdad, when you send a noble attack, it gives you the option to "add nobleman attack" allowing you to add in the other attacks needed for the train, edit the escorts for each noble (bar the first) and then click send. It will send your train with the minimum gap available on that world

Srsly? I didn't know that. As I mentioned I haven't played in a long time Sab. It does seem to take some of the 'skill' out of it - if having fast fingers is a skill. I guess this just means all trains are tough to snipe which levels the playing field somewhat.

Thanks Tedd

happy to help.

Doesnt really change skill at all, as with T-train having fast fingers was irelevant (you could hold it down, or have certain commands which cilicked all 4 anyway). More eradicates the un reliablility of opera, sending in wrong order etc

Haha, I see you do play. Fair enough. Yea it takes the skill out of sending a train, but means sniping is tougher overall, as even inexperienced players will be sending trains with 100ms gaps.

Sniping a 100ms gap is alot easier than those who sent with opera and could get it closer. 100ms is nothing.

That's what i mean. :( It makes it so easy to snipe in this world. I guess nuke nobles are the way but even they have their problems if someone prenobles and recaps :p

Sniping isn't particularly tough anyway, once you know how theirs no train that isn't splittable really, honestly most maneuvers in tw are not hard.
The skill in tw is decision making, which normally requires logic, which often eludes people.

I think it adds skill more than reduces skill.

It makes knowing how to split trains matter more, knowing how to send them matter less. Which is fine, since most everyone knew how to send them, it was just a matter of using the right browser and having decent internet. Now I can send the same trains from my phone as you can from Opera. I was never less skilled when using my phone than when using opera, I was just less technically-advantaged.

Gaps had automated gaps long before the new automated train setup. uk3 was the last world I remember playing that had no gaps, and it was the opposite extreme. Splitting trains was more about luck than skill. Why? We were sending trains that ranged from 3 ms to 12 ms. That wasn't the gaps between individual nobles, that was the entire gap size, it was common that we sent trains that had multiple nobles hitting on the same millisecond. It till took no skill to send such trains, just good internet and a t-train setup. They were however so fast that even people that knew how to split trains required luck to actually do so, which made it less skill-based than splitting trains that have 25 ms gaps for example.

I miss the tab control with new Opera, it made certain tasks like player village farming and stuff far easier.
