Its awesome isent it?

"I'm worried that players will just log onto their other accounts to find out what players are playing.  This gives those that would cheat an unfair advantage.  Is there anything that can be done about this?"

You don't have to be sarcastic and mean.  =P

Instead just say, "I'm worried that players will just log onto their other accounts to find out what players are playing.  This gives those that would cheat an unfair advantage.  Is there anything that can be done about this?"

I think the hidden enemies is a bit unneccesery (sp?). People will still talk and stuff anyway.

If there is a game open with one player in it its logically a attack game from that side.
It isn't.

I can honestly say I love the idea behind this and have been hoping there was something in the works to help curb how things were going.

Obviously there is at least one way to sorta circumvent the system, but overall a big thumbs up here.

Please read my IS IT TIME thread on cross faction accounts, concerns the only work around for launcher update..

This is just the same as playing Arranged Team Automatch.
If I get teamed up against Sepha & Aniketos, I'm not going to call them stackers.
They make their team, I make my team. When I make my team, I hope to get matched up with a challenging opponent. Sometimes I'll get lucky, sometimes I won't Wink.

The only difference here is that in the EiR community, even with a Rating system, we won't be capable of not matching the bad players & the good players. Whoever's available will likely get matched up, regardless of skill level. (Although rating will effect the bonusses you get, yada yada)


Since all users are going to be vent, communicating and the like, most having double accounts, etc I personally really don't see this "hidden" opponent thing working out for now anyway. Tongue

Um.... the hidden players in the launcher are VERY unnecessary. After all, most people are on vent and can tell anyway. Also, it makes the launcher MUCH more confusing. I'm not even sure how it works, anymore, much less new people who have no idea what they're doing.

The hidden feature should be turned off till the rating and automatch system. Right now, it's just annoying and serves no real purpose.

Yes it servers a real purpose.  Its for testing purposes.  I also like not being able to see who I am playing, yes you know sometimes, but others you dont, its exciting.

I think its great Wink

Although, it is still open to abuse with logging in another account.  I like how it hides full sides though!  Kudos!

Yes, it's great having trouble finding which game you're suppose to join. It's also very fun when someone ninjas a spot and you can't tell if that had happened. Magnificent work!
