We need it now!!!

from Demigod Forums

The thing in title that WE NEED NOW is unranked mode. I mention it about 20 times now in many posts (fev created by you, but never heard from you about that).

Currently we can achive uranked games by using 3rd party software like hamachi or Gameranger. But since it is hard to explain to some people how to correctly set it up I was hoping that we could use existing demigod multiplayer to achive same result faster and easier.

I know you are busy with hotfix for 1.2 (or at least should be...) but i am hoping to hear from you if this change is possbile, (even if it only would be new option in game lobby settings).

ps. If someone can think of more reason for/againts unranked game mode feel free to post them here. I am happy to keep this post frequently updated.

By unranked mode i mean host would have option in his lobby that when switch on would not show the game in your game stats

The good

-It will be great place for unxpierienced players to learn

-Great place to check skill/items variations (in other words creating new builds)

-Playing againts your own premade/friends without making them loose expierience points

-Place to check game mods

-More people would like to join demigod if there would be unranked mode (PurplePaladin)

-More new players would keep playing multiplayer (some of them want to stick to singleplayer because they cant find noob friendly game online)(raeff001)

The bad

-People dont care about stats anyway

-it might not change anything

I wasn't aware that anyone cared about the current rating system.

Why noobs are being kicked from games? why everyone cries for balanced games? why no one wants to play vs premade? UHM one anserw: current rating system.....

ya, its hard getting games as a noob .. it's a catch-22 NOBODY wants to be on their side no matter what cause they think it will f**k their rank, but you dont get anywhere without getting games under your belt as a noob .. i and a couple other noobs i've personally talked to have reverted back to just playing single player mode because of this BS, but we are getting burned out on that ...... people not playing with noobs=no new players around=leets becoming just as bored as we noobs are right now

Umm.

How does someone even look at their rank?

I don't think i've ever tried.

Ya, I have 2 friends that play DoWII and Sup Com online, but won't get DG because there is no unranked.  I wish there was unranked also.

And don't forget: Why people RQ when losing, especially hosts.  I could care less playing against a stealthed premade as long as I knew they were not using me as kindling to pad their win ratio.

I usually don't like playing with noobs because the game itself won't be even or fun, not because of rating.  Although I agree, some people need to stop being retarded about trying to hold a high win% and avoiding fair games.

As Makeshift said, people want a balanced team because it is more fun, not because of the rating.

There's no point in holding a game where one team holds >50% wins, while the other team is full of <50 games, low percentage.  It's the basic idea behind matchmaking services--keep like minded, roughly equivalent players vs. each other, and improve from there.

 

Pubstomping is pointless at best, and will turn off new players to the game.  And in case anyone hasn't been looking around, DG isn't exactly in the position to turn away new players (re: RoC DOTA + community).

The >50 team will learn from the game and get uber like naur sintent and others... but will not be let in games for skilled players by ppl that dont know them =/

"people want a balanced team because it is more fun, not because of the rating"

People dont want to balance teams because of ranting. Cant you see that those uber pros will more likely play againts each other or play with teams 2pros+2noob VS 2pros+2nobs or something like that if the game wouldnt be recorded and wont make them lose xp points/ranks.

I update the 1st post with your sugestions.

Ps. I also had under 30% win rate when i switch from gameranger to demigod multiplayer. I didnt know anyone to play with and abot 80% of my games were againts premades or stacked teams. Starting is really hard for new players here.
