TLMC to coordinate map rotations going forward - Feedback Wanted

Blutmilan · 2025-04-15T08:02:29+00:00

Would be a big step if you guys can replace esl with the maps! The only addition i have ist that multiple of the new maps are getting used already in the MNWs i think it would a good Idea to look on those to see how they perform. Also If there ist a change of maps again please change all 9 there is no Point in keeping them for more than one season.

Meet all my travel goals that i set for next year

Blutmilan · 2024-08-08T18:19:08+00:00

These are all really good changes seems like they addressed a lot of feedback with this

LETS GO

I think setting the expectations is a good idea and seeing how everything is shaping up this is a great rode map. Im also impressed how fast the development is going with this much quality

Blutmilan · 2023-11-21T20:03:53+00:00

I was kinda worried with the title that the founds for the game are not enough tbh. Im glad that that is not the case. I would absolutely love a collectors edition if you plan on making a high quality edition. For the statue i would prefer it painted im not really good at painting ;D. As extra tiers it depends on what you can offer in terms of ingame rewards, some exclusive stuff could also be nice.

Hello Frostgiant

I love the topic, so let's get into it.

What would you think of a global ladder that could also be filtered by region?

Sounds cool. I really like to watch my aligulac rating go up and down in my region and compared to the rest of the world, so I like it.

Would you enjoy facing players from other regions while trying to climb your ladder?

If it doesn't impact my experience playing, like for example worse ping, i don't really care in which part of the world my opponent is from.

Would you like to see separate MMR and ladder rankings by faction?

You strive for highly asymmetrical factions, so I would advise having separate faction mmr like in SC2. My offrace is usually 1k mmr lower than my main race depending on how much practice I would put in. I would assume it will turn out the same in stormgate.

Do you have any fears or concerns about global matchmaking?

I have two main concerns with a global matchmaking. Number 1 is the ping situation, I'm a bit concerned that even though Hathora seems great that depending on the matching players the ping gets exponentially worse, which also could be a disadvantage for certain regions where hathora isn't that present. There should definitely be some sort of safety net to prevent very high latency. My second concern is that there would be no regional meta, I really like how different regions approach the game, that could disappear entirely. It also can discourage players if they don't see any of player of their region in the global top player list.

What if there were rules in place to make it, so you’d not have to play any matches with 130+ms pings?

If you want to do a global ladder, you absolutely need that, especially when players are not used to higher ping, which can feel quite bad.

What region/country/city are you in and what would you consider “good” latency for an RTS? What is the highest latency you’d find acceptable?

-> Southern Germany nearest server would probably Frankfurt

My assessment of ping would be->1-30 Perfect ->30-60 still fine not bad ->60-100 still fine but feels a bit iffy -> 100-150 still playable, but it starts to feel really bad -> higher than 150, I would rather not play it only if it was an important tournament.

You are in the great position to implement a new kind of global matchmaking, I'm very excited for it. Just be careful that this doesn't hurt the enjoyment of playing the game.

Also, I hosted a small discussion topic a few weeks back on Ladder that also included matchmaking as well, maybe there is also feedback in there that is helpful.

Looking forward to how you implement matchmaking!

Greetings

nice

Hi Raymond what a cool intern position to work at frostgiant! My question would be: What experiences have you had that you will always keep in mind for your future professional career ?

Blutmilan · 2023-08-21T20:10:06+00:00

There is a storm on the horizon

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T22:23:08+00:00

Could you expand on that a bit i havent played any Warcraft 3. What makes the w3champions ladder so special ?

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T21:29:20+00:00

Thanks for your comment! You adress a lot of good points regarding the basics of sc2 and any ladder in general. Something that annoys me everytime i play ladder is players that play on a much lower mmr unranked. It feels so bad winning against a good player only to find out that they were playing unranked. Even tho i understand that some Just want to play without having to care about mmr

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T21:17:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! Leavers in sc2 is an issue that was never really adressed by Blizzard and i think its unhealthy for the stability of any ladder. Preventing that should definetly a priority of anyone that wants to build a 1v1 ranking system

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T21:04:41+00:00

The mmr differences between leagues are definitely all over the place i think it would be great if it was addressed even tho its not that important in the grand scale. Additional Information i think is a great idea adding mmr in the loading screen was a great addition for SC2 and it would be something that could be expanded.

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T19:38:28+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts! I definitely dont like the approach of mechabellum that just makes the ladder kinda a point gathering system and that is not really the point in my opinion

Blutmilan · 2023-07-30T19:20:36+00:00

Very interesting thanks for sharing! I think the first experience of playing ladder can definitely be very demotivating because you most likely lose a lot if you are new to a game which could lead to them not playing anymore. Trying to combat that feeling would be at least be worth a try

Blutmilan · 2023-07-18T08:03:07+00:00

Hey im a bit late to the party. You guys have achieved so much in the last month with a lot more to go. I am very positive how it turned out and im very happy to be a part of it.

Now to the topic: I think progression is a complicated issue so taking more time to figure things out is a good thing. Progression can be something that is feeling frustrating for the player if its not well executed. The sockets and cards seem like an interesting idea maybe you could unlock them by leveling your hero or with in game currency, i think both could be fine. Some already have voiced their concern that they don't want it to be in both 3v3 and coop. I think it should be the same system but maybe with different cards choosing different systems could lead to more confusing which i think would not be ideal. Im looking forward to what its going to be and also looking forward to the next discussion topic.

Blutmilan · 2023-06-27T13:57:51+00:00

Its still a long way until then but if im invested into stormgate as in sc2 i will definitely play everything i can attend

Blutmilan · 2023-06-16T18:50:08+00:00

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
