nice to see the server back up but cant even get games going anymore.. fucking bitching everywhere about stomps, connections, or 'balanaced coy', I blame these posts where ppl say you gotta have this and that like this in all coys...  Shit, if thats how its suppose to be, then dont give the players the option to customize the crap then.  I see players leaving in the droves and frankly its sad.  Yah should start moderating this shit or something or implement some other automatic fix matching or whatever solution you have in mind...

Cant even get a single game in the last few days that I tried excluding the downtime.  Oh and and the trolling the forums about me I am sure hasnt helped much either.  Seeing a great mod concept being ruined by a bunch of elitist bitches.  Everyone else, cant made up their damn minds about any games, ppl join/leave, join again, leave, dont rdy up, leave and join somewhere else..

You got 12 players looking for a game, and you cant even get a damn 2v2 started because of this shit.  Something needs to be done about it.

First of all, there are no balanced companies, secondly people often choose a game that fills up more quickly or is already full if they really want to play.

True, thats the problem, they are bouncing so many different games, and ditching everyone and then comming back so much its counter productive and the game ultimatly never happens.

I know a match making system isnt comming at this time.  FFS, put a block on folks rejoining games; it if happens X times, it goes into a cooldown/lockdown mode where you can leave your current game, but will not be able to join any others for some time.  Say 5 mins.  Perhaps that may help ppl from bounching around.  That is only a suggestion; and not much thought has gone into it cept for 'MATCHMAKER'..  Come to think of it..  Why not hide, player names till the game has been Readied up (picking supplies ect).  Or at least make it an option.

Uhm, it is an option?  Campaign game or something the tickbox is called.

[Jstek]

isnt a Campaign game a Campaign game?  Not a regular EIR game?

[Mister Schmidt]

They're exactly the same. GC games just hide the names of players in the game until everyone readies up.

Mind you, there's often just people sitting in the launcher idling, not joining games. They're not being 'elitist' or 'picky'. A majority of them are in fact not actually ready to play.

What you are describing is an age old phenomenon in EIR. Though I don't think many people are refusing to play because of your company's content. Some will (rightly at times) complain about stomps/stacks and connection problems. Can't blame people for not wanting to join a game that is bound to have them crushed in under 20 minutes.  (It's not really enjoyable)

Just hang in there, as the playerbase expands again it'll be easier to find games and proportionally less games will be dodged or failing. (Which in turn will also enable us to implement an automatch system)

Had a chat in the launcher because.. to great surprise.. its happens again.. Though Unk0wn was around to give witness..  This time, it was all about ppl wanting to reserve slots in battles and ect.. and dropping and creating.. or whaterver..

Consider password protecting the battles...
--Unkn0wn - Passwords would be messy
-me - Then make it timed
--Unknnown - Something we may consider..

-----
Note so makng a battle passworded may go far here..  However, i do understand you dont want a bunch of afk password battles going on for hours at times....  To keep this from happening.. make the password on a battle last only say 5 mins.  After which the battle is dumped. (Or unpassworded, whichever method makes it easier.)

meh...  I got a bad feeling about this

[Unkn0wn]

PW protecting games is something we could do, though I'm of the opinion it could probably make it even harder to find and create games. It's a small community, we don't have much need for offering 'pwed' games. (Aside from the occasional 'pre-arranged games' that is)

A lot of people only have 'someone' coming on their side of the team, so pwing wouldn't even be an option for those type of scenarios. (Unless you allow them to pw their 'side' lol) It happens a lot in vCOH as well, you often get kicked from custom games because they have someone else coming or whatever. It's just more noticeable in a small community.

My point ultimately is that there's very little we can do within a small community, other than taking away some of its symptoms.

Jstek, your company has no ATGs in it and that is why I chose not to play.

You mean he did a Heartmann™?

[jackmccrack]

Well whatever it was, we got tore a new one, so I dodged him when he joined my game.
