Flame Wars & Offtopic / Re: vote to follow blizzard balance by default
« on: Today at 01:20:05 AM »Basically the "official" experience for wc2 now is through this new changes to gameplay that is if you install remaster , btw can the remaster runs on anything below 4 GB ram? I don't think the graphics need much performance.
Has anyone tested it? I don't want to blow up the lap so isreal gets an excuse to bomb the heck out of north jordan cuz they thought im manufacturing bombs.
I have an old laptop from 2019 and in 8 players spot map my computer makes the game lags where I need to switch to the old graphs middle of game , happens sometimes.

I like the idea to keep as a mod for the moment as I gave my reasons in the other topic.
Good work. Did anyone test / validate the changes ? Hehe

I think is a good idea to follow blizzard changes . But needs to be implemented slowly like replacing that rebalance mode for this one first leaving like an option.
We don’t know which changes they are still up to do right know. Better to wait before fully change here. My opinion.

Ladder updates:
Change/rework the map pool. Suggested by Equinox and Sthogun.
It was done in the first days.
To announce the maps in advance, before starts the ladder. Suggested by Equinox
Good one. Map pool will be announce 1 week in advance for the next season.
To upgrade size and quality of map pool announcements. Suggested by Equinox
It was done in the first days.
To have only one ladder ongoing in the website. Suggested by Shotgun
In progress. The idea is to remove the old ladder scoreboard keeping only the historical games tab and the scores between players. The current system is like that since 2020 and middle of 2023 we managed to make GOW count in but the system is old, there is no start/ end seasons etc. Soon should show only new ladder ranking.
To have the ranking numbers in the Mist ladder scoreboard.
In progress
To have the legend, gm and master tags as only rewards and based in each season. Suggested by Equinox
I really liked this idea. I should open a different thread for discussion as might be a sensitive point for the community. If approves, we can apply for the next season, not the beta results.
To not use ELO/MMR system. Suggested by Lance
He has a fair point saying that players can grind points on noobs, which is true.
I disagree and I believe the current system is better. We have mechanics in place to give less and less points based on the ELO gap. Also players are free to play anyone they want. My suggestion is to monitor if it will really happens and which features we can implement.
The old system for example there were good and bad things. For example if you are #1 you can just dodge players…ok you can create some punishment, but it will unlikely have to force people to play.
Also if you are in #1 and you beat the #2 9-0 in a row and you lost the 10th game…he will pass you ..
For the moment we stick to ELO MMR

Not sure that was the discussion eq, but the tours that I host are always sponsored by Tora yes, but brackets are random (except a group tournaments where I said I’m asvance would be seeds), I even used to streamed the brackets to avoid people complain. Actually the only person who always complain when he participate is Theboy.
Also I don’t concentrate prize in a first place. Usually you will see top 8, top5…even top 10 I did Just to avoid the same people get all the prizes . You will note that I do 100/80/60 etc…some times equal prize first and second….lol not sure why you are blaming me. U8 plays 5-6 hours day that’s the only reason he can beat me.

1st week thoughts.
26 players
49 games
Still very low participation, but is a start.
Some assumptions:
- fixed bugs and changed maps
- I would say 90% or more don’t even know this exists
- people don’t like 1vs1 competitive
- people don’t like to play other maps (even after the changes to get more friendly, and gow is on the list)
Let’s see how it will go for the second week.
Happy to hear suggestions.

*FIXED situation were some games not counting to the Mist Ladder.
It was detected everytime the random map was played on Borean Tundra the result did not count due to an error in the code. It was fixed but this map is replaced now. The games happened could not be added manually to the ranking.
*MAP POOL updates following the suggestions to keep the ladder more "map friendly".
All the maps now are played with one peon only starting mode
Borean Tundra - map removed
Bridge to Bridge Combat BNE - removed the archer/troll at starting unit and changed from medium to high resources
Garden of War Classic - no changes
Gold Separates East West - no changes
GoW Cataclysm - map removed
Hexed Valley - map removed
Plains of Snow BNE - map removed
Mine in the Center BNE - map added / high resources
Murky River BNE - map added / low resources
I will edit the current map pool on the topic as soon as possible.
Please let me know if you spot any bug, game non reporting , crash etc.

UPDATES
Completed
*Fixed the situation that all games played were not showing on the ranking
In progress
*Its seems few games still did not count, under investigation
*Map pool update bringing to only 5 maps, only 1 peon starting mode, more friendly maps (keeping gow classic of course)
Notes for future
*To have Mist ranking actually showing in the ladder board in-game (not sure if possible)
*To hides or to move to another place the historical ladder gamers in the website, keeping only the active season
*To to announce the next Season 1 ladder (after this BETA) map pool at least 1 week in advance
*To discuss with community/old players the current tags (GM/ master etc) based on the ladder seasons ou to create new tags
Please keep testing, telling what is looking bad and what we can do to make it better?
Some changes take a bit time, so be patient please.
And for last we are not Blizzard, we are listening and we are trying (please have in mind its impossible to make everyone happy).
Cheers,
Duda
