Player Honor Ladder

[Yoko Kono]

[theforce]

Seems like it m8. They might be doing something for the expansion pack though, who knows.

Don't use only honour, use theforce, too.

Yep...I think 2 maybe the reasons.

1. The registration system many times doesnt work...probably theyre revamping all. But things would come to normal.

OR

2. they are resetting the honour ladder. All players start from 100 honour again.

Or they could be purging all the Names that are not being played.

Or they might just be too lazy to fix a problem till the x-pack arrives.

[Kraellin]

most likely aol has bought out ea and microsoft has bought out aol and we'll all have to get an msn/aol/ea account to play.

LOL, LordTed, I fear that if this was the case, the damn thing would be pretty thin! I loose count of the number of 120+ honour players I bump into who blatantly aren't that good! And before anyone says it: yeah, my honour is crap, but that's because I don't scope out newbies and set up comp games with them, nor do I play friendlies with people in order to find out how good they are before playing comp! (Plus I had some absurd notion that if I played KocMoc at least 10 times I'd beat him eventually - I didn't http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif).

Just to clarify that I'm not pointing fingers, nor do I have anyone specefic in mind!

I think either way we will be benefiting.....

instead of alt tabbing to see honor...now we just have to ask!
"you good or what"
"yeah i am"
"get out of my freaking game then ..i want to beat some newbies"...heheehe http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[NinjaKilla]

Good call!

[Shuko]

until they restrict players to having one (1) name only the "honour" ladder is worthless. I beat players 30 points above me and lose to tough players who are 10 points above me, depends how well you play on the day and who you are willing to play comp games with.

[Kraellin]

almost 100% correct, shuko. there'd still be those that would have two copies of the game, with 2 cd keys and therefore 2 names, that would simply play themselves 30 times and always lose to the other, or do the ambush in 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and simply drop the one dummy char from the game to stack the odds in favor of his 'good' character winning.

the best way i've ever seen a ladder system work was when it was run by someone and not an automated system and it's usually a player doing the running of it. maybe the honor society would like to tackle this.

I'm sorry, but i never apologize.

[Vanya]

Whoa! I cant imagine some poor sweaty bastid in a dark dungeon could do better than a well-thought automated system! And add his subjective input, and we have the whole favoritism thing all over again! I say keep it automated and out of the hands of those that could abuse their position as ladder-keeper.

(Hmmm Tankdogg for ladder-keeper... anyone?)

[LordTed]

An automated system is best, as I shall tell a story......

We were 4 kills up in a mech 3 game. 28 seconds were left, a victory for us surley. However- 1 of the opposition dropped, and he made a complaint as we took the victory. The rules state if a drop happens u go back 5 minutes and finish the game. BUT we would have won with no drop happening as u cant get 4 kills in 28 secs. We recieved the bias of a called in judge whos somewhat computerised reply was read the rules.,....

[Slyspy]

You can't gain many honour points by picking on newbies and the obviously incompetent (like me) since the points awarded for a win depend on the relative score of the combatants. In fact a high-scoring player can lose points by beating a hapless sap like myself. Some small comfort after yet another crushing defeat!

[NinjaKilla]

Thinking about it, with the exception of FFAs you don't really need friendlies at all do you?

Well the honour system is up again.

No, the honour hasnt been reset, they were probably doing some revamps on the system.

Bah! My army lacks courage and honor all the time. So the absence of an honor monitor made no difference to me! My enemies could smell my stench the same as always. (Maybe its time to replace that pumpkin...)
