Warzone 2100 Forums

If a registry system were put in place that allowed people to have profiles, we could also have challenges that give medals or something for the profile. Some of these can be based on doing things on low oil maps, completing the campaign, 1000 kills with a particular weapon, etc.

making a concerted effort to change the community's behavior Are you ready to provide even a rough estimate for the amount of effort? Is it something that can be achieved, say, by writing a forum post? An advertisement on the official website? A post in any social network group? A video on youtube?...

Reread what they wrote. Vexed implying that I don't understand something is a passive aggressive way of saying I don't know what I am talking about. Stiv finding my argument to be hilarious is disrespectful. Anyone would feel as I do if they were treated that way. Montetank, you seem to agree with t...

I find the argument that "yes, the data is bad, but we can still use it to make decisions" to be simply hilarious. Not only is WZ rank easily modified, but it is also transient. Hard drive crash? New computer? If you just installed Warzone, you are suddenly a noob no matter what your expe...

I have played several games(COD, CSGO, Magic) that have different ranking systems and I think we should look to them for guidance. The most robust rank system I have knowledge of is CSGO, and I think it has a few good points we should discuss. Its important to understand no matter how you implement ...

Thanks, at least some people understand the issues involved here... I find the argument that "yes, the data is bad, but we can still use it to make decisions" to be simply hilarious. Gentlemen, there is no need for passive aggressive or disrespectful comments. Please treat me and my opini...

Now people get kicked even more! I think its the nature of the beast we need to teach the idea that new players are needed its a wonder the community has not spiralled down to a tiny dot in the bottom of a coffee cup. With all this good intent there must be a solution removing rank has slowed it a ...

And what about keeping the current rank system and only add a checksum or md5 hash at the end of the stats file.Then check if the hash matches the data presented in the file. If yes then show the rank, if not show (you will play with no rank). Or if you are very paranoiac then you can even encrypt ...

Maybe remove the kick button instead / as well? I would strongly disagree. People do need to be kicked sometimes. High pings, trolls, people afk that wont ready up etc. FWIW, I think removing rank to fix the kick problem is a terrible idea. Now people get kicked even more! Hmm. Yeah, right. Not sur...

I don't have a link on hand for the 1v1 map, but the tourney uses 6 different 2v2 maps with 2 spectator spots. they are available here: http://vk.com/topic-1122659_33491924 I looked quickly thru all 25 pages of that thread and didn't really see and maps for a few people with spectators. Where in thr...

FWIW, I think removing rank to fix the kick problem is a terrible idea You misunderstand the intent. As currently implemented, it is unreliable data. Given that the rank info is stored in a local file on the player's machine, it is possible to edit the file and be any rank you want. I respectively ...

Perhaps it would be best to discuss rank removal in a separate thread, as that is not the intended purpose of this thread, and i have quite a lot to say about this issue. FWIW, I think removing rank to fix the kick problem is a terrible idea You misunderstand the intent. As currently implemented, it...

So the old rank system is based on Win to loss Ratio, units killed, games played and games won. Other games have advanced ranking systems, with many ranks available. It would be cool to have more ranks for players in the future. Oh, and it would probably be best for the starting rank to look cool, n...

You are welcome! I have been figuring out the best settings for streaming and recording so they will look better in the future.
