Ladder

[Tomisama]

I was reffering to the HORRIBLE MP experiences after MTW. Not the game itself which is a whole different story.

Not sure if you are talking specifically talking about the lobby conduct deterioration that emerged with the release of Rome, but it was a major issue for others and myself.

Many folks quit playing because the lobby was so full of disgusting banter and ferocious bulling. The Org multiplayer community response was to form a code of conduct, which is still collecting signers today.

No-lobby is a blessing to me. I can pick who I want to associate with, and not have to put up with or witness the abuse by moronic sociopathic misfits.

I’m here to play the game and have fun, that’s all!

(Sorry, getting off topic here should be ladder not lobby. )

Argeed Tomi on all points but the lobby. I think gameplay had something to do with it of course, but conduct was another thing also.


But having no-lobby doesn't make sense. I don't know how many people are on and who is on. I can't just go on Steam and check our social groups and see. Most of them are on SP, so it doesn't do us not one bit of good.


Just my 2 cents .



I am still awaiting a answer from CA/SEGA about this Ladder/Ranking system. From the info I gathered, maybe they mislead us?

The ladder system seems to be, as TGI states, based on certain games being set to status ranked by the host.

So the host can choose if a battle should be counted towards the ranking or not.

Winning these ranked games gives you some kind of prestige that other players can see at least when you are hosting a game. The more stars besides the name of the host the higher rank, at least thats how i understand it.

Win vs someone with more stars and you probably raise your own stars aswell, it happened to me today .

So far I can only see other players stars when they are hosting. Do not know if possible somewhere else. Also I do not know how many stars is possible to have and there are of course other questions to be asked regarding this also.

A ladder I would not call it.

About the chat and lobby. Steam gives the possibility to have the private chatrooms and gatherings that was asked for by the veterans of shogun during the whole mtw/vi-era so that is very good I think. You can set up a game, chat with the selected people you want to play with and host and invite only these people.

BUT, it would still be very good to have a functioning lobbychat in addition to this I think.

Actually you get 5 stars very quickly ( like 5 ranked battles wins ) in some weird way you reciev like 6300 points for the first 5 wins so you land around 32000 after 5 battles after that you receive a cpl of hundred if you win a ranked game (the amount varias between 70 - 250 depending on sumthin I dont know what ...) .. you also receive the win and some points if your opponent quits ...( havent seen many drops just quits so far )

The statistics page is at least good for keeping track of how many games you played won / lost ranked / nonranked ...

And remember the steam feature players where you can see the names of the ppl you played with
so if you want to talk to some1 afterwards you can add them to steam friends ...
