Is anyone else getting really bored of the blow torch level?
I had 4 games today, and 3 of them were the blow torch level!
Team17, have you even TESTED this level? Its not possible to kill 4 worms with 2 blow torches and 2-3 crates. How on earth did this get past play testing?? Is it some kind of a joke?
Why would you spend all this time and money making a great game, only to ruin it by creating such stupid schemes.
Im amazed these boards arn't full of frustrated online gamers, because the game plays so well, but the schemes are SO LAME.
Just play it, once. How could this have happened??????
Time to start using the off switch when this level comes up, what a freaken JOKE.

trust me, there are about 50 people with online complaints and you're just one of them. If the schemes are so horrible then just stop playing!

The problem is, the game is so good! The online play is seamless, and the game engine is great.
Its just that someone @ Team17, in some dark little room, has set up the online schemes incorrectly.
Team17, don't worry about some employees pride! Just march down to where ever he/she works, pick up the mouse, and literally click it a few times to correct this error.
1. click: disable the blow torch level.
How many hours/days/months were spend developing this game? How many people were involved?
That one person who has created the online schemes for you has let everyone down. They are probably not even involved in the creation of the game.. I mean, we have all set up schemes for ourselves. It's not rocket science.
Words fail me on this. Feel free to disagree or agree, but either way, you have to admit that this game is 99% awesome and 1% ruined because of the decisions of possibly 1 person who obviously has never PLAYED the game or they would fix the online schemes even as I type this.

I suspect Two Tribes were the ones who put Full Wormage and blowtorch only schemes in the randomly selected ranked scheme pool. They haven't been making worms games for nearly as long as Team17, I doubt they will make the same mistake again (hopefully Two Tribes make another Worms game).

I killed 4 worms in my first turn on thet level, 3 of his worms started near the water, they all went in the drinl, he then used his worm and blow torched me into a mine and the mine exploded and blew up a oil drum and another oil drum exploded and threw him into the water, lol awesome game.

funny if it was a casual game.
That player choose to play in a leader board game to show off their skill. For all you know, they were good enough to land a grenade on your head from 3 screens away. But they were forced to play with that kind of luck.

Just Say No to ranked matches on the DS version. We need more of y'all in the random matches, and though there are no rankings, there are other things that still get on the leaderboards, plus you can still obtain all medals, and most importantly, schemes in the random matches don't suck (unless you get some rare opponent who votes for Full Wormage or something). Seriously, play random matches; I promise you won't be disappointed.

I click onto 4 player deathmatch and search for about 5 minutes between ranked rounds, and i have never gotten into a game yet :(

Hey, I just had a worse experience. Rounded up three people on the GameFAQs forums. We tried to all search for a 3-player deathmatch on random mode. No dice. We then exchanged friend codes and tried it that way. STILL nothing, though when we agreed to test two player combinations, those worked fine. Seriously, what the heck is up with 3- and 4-player matches?

I know what you mean about the 4 player deathmatch thing. No-one is ever on usually because it would lag pretty badly. On-topic, i've had a blowtorch level too, and it's all the luck of the draw. On one I got 2 banana bombs, a donkey and 3 grenades, another round I got a BOOMERANG!!! Bottom line, it's luck of the draw.

Sweet lord, the shopping scheme is broken!!! It would make sense if a weapon crate came down every turn, but it doesn't. I can see why total wormage annoys people, but at least it results in a game ending. The shopping team = automatic draw.
Is this going to be permanently broken? Anyone heard anything?

I don't think they can fix it. If you are conservative with your blowtorches, get as many crates as you can and block your opponent with girders so they don't get the crates then it can be over fairly quickly.
