Indicator for games with race advantages

Postby El Capitan » Thu Aug 18, 2011 5:26 am

Some sort of indication on the list of games created denoting the game has users playing with advanced races. Maybe it could be a yes/no option in the Create a Game panel. If selected yes, then in the Games Created panel the game would be highlighted in a different color. This way people will want to buy the advantaged races more because they won't have to worry about being kicked from a game for using their advantaged race. I know you got a hell of a list of to-do, but would be cool to see and I would buy the advantage races if it were so.

The most fun game online.

I'd second this - although coming at it from a different perspective - I want to avoid games with premiums in them and likewise prevent them from joining games I create.

I voted yes, but after ACTUALLY reading the topic i choose otherwise. I dont think we should descriminate ppl for the classes they have. Even if they do get a minor (yes MINOR) boost with their classes. They paid for it so they should be allowed to enjoy it. Plus, i dont think this is something Lopdo would enjoy implementing. He has bigger things to worry about..
I feel good about winning games with experienced players in them. Guests rarely provide a good challenge; therefore I adhere to the idea that the "Guest" race be annihilated :P.

1. El Capitan is the best username ever (except Ratburntro44)
2. I would like an indicator, but I don't think the indicator should include premiums. They're already yellow, and being premium doesn't make them more likely to win.

@Ratburntro44: El Capitan is the second best username ever. First is Chuck Norris.

@Archerkido1: No discrimination? Users playing with advantaged races are getting kicked from games left and right. This is about equal opportunity :D

PS. Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits.

I ditto this suggestion. While I agree that the bonuses are really minor, and sure, "we" should not always kick those using advantage when others are not, that just simply is not the case. Those using them often get booted, and regardless of what we should do, it is happening. Some solution should be in place.

I also say that you make purchasable races which look like normal races. This way those willing to buy them, and hence support the development, can be discrete in their slightly small advantage.

Can't you just see whatever race they're using in the game lobby? I find it annoying enough that I tend to get kicked a lot for playing Angels...

I think there should perhaps a game option to not allow advantage races when you make your game, or to turn off advantages. Then all the guests who don't notice that option will get destroyed because the experienced players will have to go in their games.
