That I have no issues with. Not sure how hard it would be to implement though. Probably pretty hard. And doesnt seem likely to get used a lot by players tbh.

@indexlibrorum

I don't think its valid enough actually. Matchmaking should be as randomized as possible. The fact that you can queue as a party already diminishes that somewhat. I don't think it would be good to add to that. After all, we have custom games for players who want to set up their game in a specific way.

Matchmaking rankings' validity is dependent on the randomness of its matchups. If you take away this randomness you undermine the integrity of the leaderboards and its underlying rating system.

Ah, no I experienced that problem like a day before my comment. I switched coturns an that solved it. So I didn't try changing back to global afterwards.

Isn't the sub almost three times faster as well? Move speed is super important in navy battle. I've never seen bricks crush navy at all btw.

yep, same here

Perhaps the selection of these units is conflicting with a UI mod? Try disabling all ui mods and see whether the problem persists

Oh apparently because I had a "-" sign in the name of the hotkey, it didn't show.

@Ctrl-K Im having the issue that new hotbuilds don't show up in the hotkey menu. Any idea what went wrong?

Sure, you can dive into that. I don't have a source on how the trueskill mechanism works though. Maybe someone else can point you to that. Regardless, I doubt that the issues you raise warrant any major changes to the system. It's such a niche case in which it hampers player enjoyment. To make the leaderboards more complex to cover that, doesn't seem proportionate to me.

Ah I see. Well to be frank I don't think it would work well in combination with the system that is already in place. Also, I think it wouldn't work well with a game like FAF that has a modest player base. And the leaderboards are quite complex and fragmented already.

@freadyfish

How would that work exactly? If you play with 20 different friends you have 20 different ratings? All in the same leaderboard? Could you explain a bit more?

I appreciate your empathy here. And admittedly I share your confusion somewhat. As for including you in the discussion, that is a valid point which I hadn't considered outside of the short discussion here on the forum. To be fair, you could have told me you wanted to be included in these discussions beforehand..

@insidiousnoob

Ive talked with the relevant people to see if a thing like this could be implemented. In the end there was not enough support for this.

Mainly because people don't want to make the leaderboards into an event with prizes, because it is argued this would make it more an event than a leaderboard. Also, it is argued that this proposal would not increase overall participation in the matchmakers. So yeah, looks like something like this is not feasable atm.

@maudlin27

Thanks for reporting it. Ill replace the map.
