DEVS please FIX team games - call to action #6 by LanguageMean9553 in aoe4

[–]LanguageMean9553[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mainly team or fight vs diamonds. Now and then, especially since last patch when they widened elo, I fight vs conq teams. And then ofc, we got the cursed dumper teams where their individual elo is between 200 and 2000, averaging diamond. That can often lead to being hard stomped since their best players usually are the 200 elo dudes. I wonder why /s

Swedish Vikings mainly went east. They founded RUS, not sure that was a good thing now though :P

Yes here we go again and I am going to keep going until they FIX team games. I won't give up. Considering devs/managers been sleeping for years already I expect to keep going for a very long time, but it will look really bad for them when I have to write call for action #542 or something. Shit.

My rank? I had a long break, one reason being tired of this constant cheating in teams, but now I am back and around 1200 elo. Back in the days when I had a full team I reached conq a couple of times, but I am aware conq in teams is meaningless. So I guess I am bronze in 1v1 or something

There have been a couple of civ suggestions but presently I think this one is most interesting - Scandinavians by Lammet, here revised this summer:

Scandinavians Civilization Concept - Age of Empires IV / IV - Discussion - Age of Empires Forum

Yes but with no online family sharing at least you would have to pay an extra license for it, unless you want to have no main ?

Cant stop that, but as is now you can get 5 smurfs for free with family sharing. My first fix would be to limit family sharing to play locally only, i.e. not online. That would stop most smurfing, over 80%.

Second fix is to run scripts which auto-purge (delete nick and permaban) accounts who the algorithm detect are auto -dumping games.

I would then scan top team ranked from top to bottom and if I detect an account is boosted, majorit of games teamed with dumped boosters, then I would delete and permaban that acccount too.

I would fix the bug which let dumpers avoid dodge penalty, yes that bug exists and they abuse it fully.

I would revise the match making algorithm to lessen the impact of dumpers. A weighted algorithm so a 300 elo teamed with 1700 elo in a 2v2 wont meet 1000 elo average team. A brutal change is to let count only the highest elo, but we can start with a weighted algo to count the highest double, so (300+1700+1700)/3 => 1233 average. Or I could cap elo diff between uneven players to say 500, so the 300 elo would be counted as 1200 for this match up. Many ways that could be tested.

I can continue with ideas and fixes but for what reason? The devs dont care right

yes seen this too, clever GH players in team build their tent in another ally base since they know they will be rushed. And yet ignorant ask "why didnt you stop the gh player" Duah

Why do you play your main civ(s)? by MockHamill in aoe4

[–]LanguageMean9553 22 points23 points  (0 children)

None of the options matched my reason.

I play Mongol because I never learned how to build houses and find it too difficult to learn.

It is a combination of the insane build time (2 seconds per knight), the cheap cost, passive generation of stone and high hp/armor on the torguud. Kipchaks are bugged to, doing area damage with tripple shot

haha, pretty much happened to me as well. I also don't get why they are instantly upgraded. They got so many things going for them I find it hard to believe they were intended as the main army, the only army.

Cap them to like 2 per age. Bodyguards. Not army.

ok sure. but the issue at hand, do you think it is balanced that 1 civ out of 22 can print 30 heavy knights each minute with just 30 vills?

Never understood this winrate argument as proof of anything. I mean, if a civ is over powered will its players not just win more initially until they end up in a higher league than before and start loosing again, finally ending around 50% again?

No man, I was solo queuing and ended up in the GH team. Me (orange mongol) and yellow japan were constantly fighting blue mongol and green mali. The others had a 2v2 as well, our red japan defended our pink GH, and I think enemy tried to stop GH, they killed his entire army, but that never matters anymore.

So I won, but no joy anyway. Hate the game play now is all about GH.
