Ladders

While we're at it, since we have symmetrical maps now, any chance of a new discussion on random maps for ladder? As neutrino says above it requires much more on the fly strategy imo rather than just memorising the absolute best builds for each map. Plus it would help keep the ladder much more fresh, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of the same 6 ladder maps. I expect the lack of variation is something to do with the current inactivity on the ladder as well.

Yes.

be it random or communitymade or ubermadeplanets ... yes we need more playgrounds ...

hehe I am sure jables has a list with nice to have things that is so long you could wrap it around a planet.

bet his list is longer than santas at this point ...

ok let me reiterate.

is it in second, third, fourth place or something nearing?

My bet is not even near top 10

I just want the ladder to display the full array of players and not be capped at 10.

Then I want a decent profile system, doesn't have to be fancy, but it would be cool to have custom emblems

The first thing that come to mind that I want are:
- wreckages
- a lot bigger ranked maps
- better orbital controls
- a few ranked maps with multiple planets
- a minimap
- a tutorial for newbies so the ladder isn't as empty.

I think we all could write long lists of what we want, in fact I feel we do so in a way quite often

Pls 2 vs 2 ranked with friend invite option.

And 2vs2 unranked. With system vote. And random should be always one of them.
With friend invite off course.

And free for all without friend invite off course.

But make the random map maker better first.

Yes.

The option to veto maps like PA stats did way back when would be good, sometimes I just want a quick 10-20 minute game, not a game on styx.

Also seasons would be good, would allow for more movement within the ladder, beaten uber players recently and only moved up a couple of spots.

There are so many cheesy things you can do to quickly end a game on styx, though you may not always win

But yeah a veto function would be nice. Implementing the one PA Stats used took a few hours, come on Uber beat me

Ladders are nice but how about an automated tournament system, like this?

at the moment with the size of the community, it will have to stay 1v1.

If a million people played...
1v1
3v3
10v10 "Team Controlled 1 army"
because uber could afford more employees with a million players paying to optimize the game.

Then a 'flex' mode from 1v1 to 10v10 for more casual play, randomly pairing teams and players together.

Oh look, a thread from two years ago. I wonder if Tatsu was involved in this somehow?

*checks*

Yup.

Shhhhh. Do you hear it? If you really listen, you can hear the bones of the thread creaking and crumbling to dust.

He's the most remarkable of necromancer! Perfecting the art.

I'M DA BESSSSSSSS

*filling in for missing brad*

that would be so good that it would get to the point of being OP.
