0-7 is way too much. 0-5 or 0-6 would be better. Also, the rank limits are seriously not cool. It limits farming, but it also limits the number of games available to you.

If you read the update, it's been changed to 0-6 already.

Not to be rude or something, but why did you guys choose to make these kind of t-shirts?

I mean the time and money you guys spent on those t-shirts and the shipping costs etc, if they were only spent on making this game more appealing, advertising more on social media/ads/gaming websites, and most important at all, fixing the bugs and glitches this game still has. I am sure you guys will grow alot better.

I mean don't get me wrong, I like how enthousiast you guys still are about this game and haven't given up on this game is amazing, but still alot of complains and alot of good suggestions to improve this game are made almost everyday and it seems like those are getting not fully ignored, but just waited out to dissapear in the forums and never get looked at again.

Not trying to diss the t-shirts but just trying to understand how this is that important?

We didn't really spend any of our own money on this (apart from the shirts we get for ourselves), orders will cover the expenses. Also, you will be happy to know that none of Amok's time has been wasted at all, and not that much of mine either

Text on the shirts can be customized when you order?

Nope, sorry. Unless you want to pay for a separate printing plate.

So we are paying you to advertise your game ?
K.

You're partially right swany, but nothing is free nowadays

you're buying the shirts for the love of the game recognition is just a part of it though this is also a way for them to earn income so buying one of these your also supporting the game's development D

We've set the prices to just about cover printing and shipping costs, this is not really something we do for income. Personally, I just wanted an atWar shirt and a mousepad for myself, but the minimum batch is 100, so we decided to offer them for you guys as well

Do u ship it to Serbia sukas ? xD

Yep.

UPDATE: it appears we've been a bit hasty with the implementation, so we've now decided to remove automatic rank limitations from the Main room, and lower Beginners room allowed ranks to 0-6. Hopefullly it would be enough to accomplish what we set out to do, without pissing everyone off. Update is coming in the morning.

I can't play half of the games as rank 9 that is really bad.

There are currently 30 games in Main. 5 of them are restricted to you. So more like 1/6th.

Written by Ketamine, 04.03.2016 at 08:04

Yeah i just tried... set it 5 - 20 ... than i left after 1 turn.. and saw in room that my game was 9 - 19 to join..

This is such bullshit..
when i entered the sharks i wanted to become a shark asap.
i learned playing sharks.., these newbees cant ever learn if u dont play like your own rule:

"If you have learned something, you havent realy lost"
Only R9+ can join my games.. so thats no one...... other than some jelly dicks.
its best to loose my R14 nick and start a fresh one..so i can relive the fun again?

what you should do to make it more competitive is to change the ranking system
give points on averages.. R15 vs R13 vs R8 = R15 makes less points X 0,7 or so and R8 must be rewarded x 1,3

without spamming i played 15 years of risk on dominategame.com it sucks ass , but the rating formula is PERFECT
check it out

You can create games for ranks 5-20. Which coincidentally is exactly the same range as you had before

How? Anyone could do games for ranks 0-20.

But ranks 0-2 weren't allowed in Main, and ranks 3-4 preferred to stay in Beginners. So essentially nothing's changed here.

Written by Ketamine, 04.03.2016 at 07:40

Look , its just NOT POSSIBLE for me to play the one and only thing i like.

A World map with 12 players.. its just NOT POSSIBLE...with this fucked up setting.

I can see a World Map game with 10 players and 4-14 limit in the lobby right now.

This is unfair for the low ranks. Sometimes low ranks want to learn from high ranks in games but that won't be possible unless they find a way around the system. AtWar is starting to kill itself. GL anyways

Yeah, we've heard that since 2011. We'll figure something out for consenting low/high ranks

Interesting upgrade. By the way, congratulation on 2000th post Ivan

Thanks, didn't notice

Quite a bit of panic in this thread, but let's see how it goes.

Written by Wildchild92, 04.03.2016 at 06:34

Rather then dropping the helpless newbies into the shark tank you're essentially letting sharks into the kiddie pool. I like it. This could help develop lower ranks or it could frustrate them more.

I wouldn't consider ranks 5-7 to be such vicious sharks And they wouldn't be able to play much against ranks 0-2 anyway.

This opens the door for r6/r7 to farm on beginners

Read my previous reply. They will mostly only be able to play with ranks 3-5, which is not such a bad thing. Rather than being plunged into a room with ranks 10+ at rank 5, players will gradually interact with slightly higher ranks.

Written by Guest, 04.03.2016 at 06:10

I liked this rank limits idea but make begineer lobby for ranks 6 and 7 is the bad one

The idea is to gently and gradually force people out of the Beginners room. Ranks 6 and 7 wouldn't be able to find a lot of games to participate in, so they'll have to move to Main. Because of the default rank limits, most of the games will be restricted to them, and the games they create will be restricted for the lowest ranks. So, yes, technically they can play in Beginners, but it doesn't mean they would be able to abuse ranks 0-3.
It would also allow earlier interaction of more mature ranks 4-5 with higher (but not too high!) ranked players.

Written by Guest, 04.03.2016 at 06:07

GG AtWar, now beginners room will just be full of RP and none of low ranks will ever develop.

How did you come to this conclusion? We've just opened Beginners room to higher ranks, to speed up the development of lower ranks.

Written by Cthulhu, 28.02.2016 at 21:16

What about an expert room? Rank 10+.

Default 2x SP on every game, and -5000 SP for leaving or surrendering.

This might help alleviate some of the high ranks from the main lobby. To encourage players to play on it, you can give a stat for number of "expert" games win.

The Main room is currently rather empty during certain times, splitting it further would only deepen the problem.

This is now fixed, thanks!

I don't have time to do anything more complicated at the moment, but for now I've changed default order ("Featured") to rating, with 50 plays minimum. That should make things a bit more dynamic.
Later I hope to implement some kind of "Hot" sorting, as been suggested in this thread.

The easiest way to code this would be to temporary change turn time for one turn (with everyone's agreement, of course) - to 10 min, an hour or even 24 hours. Next turn will then start when the timer expires or everyone clicks 'End turn' (though this wouldn't work for very long breaks).

I've heard from quite a few players how much they hated moving to the Main room after Beginners at rank 5. Getting completely slaughtered, arrogant high-rank players, leaving friends behind (who are still below rank 5) and so on. This is not fun, and there must be a solution to it.

I believe it's been proposed by Pulse to have automatic rank limits in games. For example, if a rank 0 player creates a game, the limit will be set to 0-3 by default. For rank 5 it might be 3-7 and so on. These default values can still be changed on the initial game settings screen.

With that in mind, room limits might be broadened, with larger overlap to allow for smoother transition.

What do you think? Will it work? What are the potential downsides? What should the default limits be for various ranks? What should be the new room limits?

Cool stuff here, I'd like to see a lot of these implemented. Unfortunately our manpower is seriously limited - it would probably take us a year to implement this list, if we work exclusively on it (and quit our jobs).

If someone places an ad that is unacceptable. Of course it will/should be removed if the images/text are "inappropriate", will the person be given a refund in Protocoins?

It depends. If it's just an honest mistake or misunderstanding, we'd be happy to refund. If you're very deliberately abusing the system, no refund.

Alright. Also, I have a question. I just created a new map, on the silverlight editor. It is available to be previewed, and everything. However, when I try to host it, it says 'map not found'?? Is this normal? I was told I can use the silverlight editor for HTML5, and, I can view it on 'preview'.

This issue has been around for a long while. It won't go away until the editors are implemented.

... so, I just did all of that work for no reason? There is nothing I can do to get my map working on HTML 5?

Maps need to be manually refreshed currently, which I will do tomorrow morning. Your work is not lost, don't worry.

There are exploits, but we've never encountered outright "hacking". There's a big difference between the two.

It's about 95% done, but Amok is currently away, until 11th. He'll resume work on it after coming back.

How about an option to hide or show events which the mapmaker can change, because usually in scenarios you fight with knowledge of the events/units rather than skill. Once you've played it once you know the important events anyway.

Alright, I'll consider it. But although it sounds simple, adding a new menu with a list of events is quite a bit of work. Have to prioritize.
