|
|
|
I thought about a system that would allow access to some registered servers according to your efficienty.
There would be 3 levels of server: easy, middle and hard.
Every new player start in the middle-level server they don't have access to the easy and hard servers. If after 10 games, their efficienty is <40%, they have access to the easy-level server only. Or if their efficienty is >60%, they can only join the hard server.
If you are in the easy server and can reach an eff of >60%, then you can go back in the middle server again.
Same for the hard server... If you cannot reach more than 40% of eff, you go back in the middle. (That one should happen less often, unless you get really old or there is an arrival or very good players. )
What do you think?

Another solution would be to have only a medium server and a hard server. Where the medium is open to all, and the hard to only the >60% of eff.
The medium would contain more player slots than the hard one.
This one is more fair I think.

Soz medz0r, but this time I rather disagree
You can't rate skill by effi only (well, at least not in every case ).
I know from particular other servers that the introduction of effi. display on the scoreboard kinda ruined the games on that servers. Some ppl start looking on effi like they did before with frags and play for them only.
Every frag counts, what even made some players from top clans mutating into enthusiastic assrunners and campers (also known as "effi-a$$run" >=| ).
Since then I even dislike it's display, but considering ppl's skill by their effi would make things even worse. o_O
I don't think u need something like a "skill-barrier" at all. Because the skill of the players on a server is set automatically.
Other servers where players from top-clans use to play are theoretically also opened for anyone.
Don't think that ppl realizing that they avg. respawn 10times a minute will stay on a server anyway.
Most important means to attrackt skilled players are:
- Maps
- ServerQuality
- ServerSettings
- Opponents
Just my 2 (or 3) Cent
H@ve F[_]N!

No, it would be based on the eff of the medium server. Your eff. is almost a constant anyway (not when you begin though).

I don't want to seperate players. As some wise old man said: "you can only learn against stronger than you".
I am just thinking about a system to let very good players play together.

Medic surely you couldnt do a server on eff,your eff is higher when you defend anyways ,I have been playing as matrix this month and my eff is a lot higher than the flag capture style forsaken ,don't think its a good idea most people play on the server because of the players who are here i think ,like a family thing you see people playing you know makes you want to join in more well it does me anyway!
been busy this month also not been on as much trying to get ut2003 set up then it works better.
thx {CoB}forsaken = Wayne

I think it would be more of a bad idea than good, because it sounds a little more on the complicated side, and you'll probably lose players because they don't understand how it will work, so the server will probably be more empty... Just to show what I mean, how would it work ??
