Some form of ranking system that is based on player behavior would be incredible!
Just would have to figure out if people would avoid specified ranked persons?
The rage quitting is an issue, especially with folks jumping out of lobbies with people they have been spanked by previously.
Well, not like a predator, but sure, whatever.
You are taking this way too hard. Its not like you can’t be a coward in a video game. What do you call those people who hide under the backwater buildings all game? Calm down.
I was just thinking about that being the matchmaking. Being paired with people of similar behaviour.
Rage quitting is always an issue. I’m not sure how to deal with that. There are still too many disconnects to do a blanket negative points. I’d either have them earn nothing, or only earn negative points. Not entirely sure.
since you bothered to mention this earlier i guess i’ll comment
so sadly as far as i’m concerned this would just be bad for the type of player i am y’see there are people in this world who are very competitive that have a drive to get better at the things they call their hobbies by any means necessary
i’m the type of guy who thrills in winning matches or games cause that means i’m better than the other person as if i lose they are better than me so i need to improve so i can beat them my determination is pretty endless as at one point when i was semi pro i played 100 matches against one person in order to learn that matchup in a fighting game in one setting every game he won i gave him 2 dollars this costed me 40$ to do this cause i wanted to get better and i’ve done this multiple times at that time in my life as the best way to get better at a game is to money match so you have something on the line to motivate yourself to play at your best at all times in the way tournament play is
i don’t care about the other persons experience they should want to win just as i want to win as far as i’m concerned and with that i’m going to speedrun obj within 3minutes or dumpster preds that get in melee range with 3sec TTKS and chase them all over the map cause they can’t possibly get away i’ll even camp pigs if i know the pred recently was injured and i know where all the pigs spawns are
if i think they are at all competent which just means they have one spec or have someone with a sniper rifle or i hear the sounds of a Merc/GOSLR being fired then i won’t let them reinforce i never let anyone revive if i can prevent shooting those who are downed or chucking BT’s on top of them to claim them in front of their friends or to down the person that tried to teach them to just let people die i even used to trap reinforce radios back when BT’s where indestructable cause it would increase my odds of winning dramatically and of course i try to set off at least 2 alarms in the first minute of the match
now how does this affect me? well it would reduce the total number of players i could potentially play with in a way i can’t opt-in or opt-out of like say a ranked mode would
which in turn would make my que times higher than they are right now without it being skill related like in a ranked que where usually high ranks have longer que times than low ranks which is fine in that case cause then i know i’m going up against equal competition and if i didn’t want to do that i’d que into the QM que for a time
as this system isn’t skill oriented it’s RP oriented or behavior oriented which is something i don’t care about in the same way i’d be livid if i was in a World of warcraft raid and 7 of my raid members were actively RPing with the boss instead of doing there fucking jobs trying to win the game by beating the boss
as if your putting arbitrary rules in place that don’t reward anyone for doing so besides a “good manners que” it’s a pretty worthless addition now say if the good manners que awarded more xp/vert than you’d have an arguement but then i’d just say “well wait if i’m better at the game and my ques are potentially longer for it than i should be getting better rewards than the trash pile that are probably not winning more than 55% of their games”
which is equally a fair statement
because the game says to win here you must exfil or collect a body or you must kill the entire team or get a time out
and a SD is either a win for the predator or a tie for both teams we just won’t know for sure until a win games as predator shows up for a daily
I’ll break it down like you did.
This still allows for competitive play. And you will get queued with people of your own mindset.
You can still win matches, and if you want to put money on the line, by all means, no one will stop you.
And this is where the issue happens. There is no other side if you are just looking out for yourself. WAAC is an unhealthy mentality. Its a game. Its about entertainment. And its about making sure the other player in the match keep playing.
So let me translate this into real talk. If they have what I declare cheap weapons I don’t let them reinforce. If I down someone I’ll either keep shooting them because I can’t win if I try to claim. But if the team is bad enough I’ll claim them or bait them. I’ll trap people who have no option but be in the trap because winning is hard. And of course I use alarms because the AI is better than I am.
Its not like you’d run out of players. There would still be plenty of people with your mindset. You’d just be stuck with them. There is always private if you don’t want to do “ranked”.
I don’t think your queue would change. I think the player base is spread out enough. And you are going against people like you, make it a fair fight.
Well, it is highly skill oriented. You just insist that its not. These just take a higher skill rating to accomplish than you are capable of. And that’s fine. Not everyone is skilled enough to do that. Don’t take it too hard. Maybe if you put your mind to it, you might be, but if not, you would be matched with people at your level.
These rules are far from arbitrary, but I’m not here to change your mind. I don’t want to put rewards in, because that will encourage cheaters and hackers. That also should not be encouraged. This is here to match people’s playstyles. Die hard RPers get put together. WAAC people who use cheap tactics and only care about ruining the game for other people are thrown together. Casuals have their own spot. The whole spectrum of players will be matched with their own.
The game also says Pred get XP based on adhering to their code of honor, but we know that’s not true as well. Play how you want. I’m sure you want to go against people who are just like you.
Im reviving the dead ass thread
I feel “good sport” is extremely subjective with this game.
Very
What the hell is this
A once well rested corpse that has been dug up.
Well we need to re-bury it
impossible. its been awoken from the depths. It will remain here on the front page, for eternity.
At least, until the next wave of repeat complaint threads for the next patch start popping up.
We could always use memes…
We could, but Kass might get mad that we’re “spamming”. I have a workaround for that though. Spam cats. She loves cats. If we just post cats it’ll make her happy.
I know XD Apparently its from an actual calendar, of cats pooping. I might get it.
