New Recruits & Team Game Change *Rejected*

Postby AngryAnderson on Mon Jun 19, 2006 1:47 pm

One of the most frustrating things I am finding at present is the no. of times a new player will join a multiples game then deadbeat without taking a turn.

How about not allowing players to join a multiples game until they have complete 5 singles games?

Not sure if it would be difficult to code in, but it would stop several multiples games from becoming farsicle from the start.

:twisted:

Is this possible to implement?

Otherwise, experienced players will just switch to private games, as we see a lot of now, or simply drop a game if they get the chance, when they see they are to be paired with a player on their first game.

Rename Doubles and Triples to Team Games

Postby bryanbr on Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:01 pm

I recommend renaming Doubles and Triples to something more sensible:

Team Game (Two Players)
Team Game (Three Players)

That way newbies will know what is going on. Instead of attacking their allies as has happened numerous times with me and I've only played about 10 games.

This is how I'm doing it:

As for the last post...Doubles and Triples is pretty self explanatory. And they just sound classier too. ;)

Doubles and Triples are in almost no way self explanatory.

Let's see: Doubles refers to three teams of two players. Um, that is no way self explanatory. I have never seen a multiplayer computer game where team play was referred to as "Doubles".

You can play doubles in tennis, but that is two sets of two players.

Now, the only common language (American English) use of the word Triples is a three base hit in American baseball.

The terms are confusing and non-sensical.

Continue to use them, and you will continue to see newbies attacking their Teamates in Team Games.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Unless you are 8 years old you should know what doubles and triples mean. The only reason newbs attack their partners is because they want to play now, so they join a game with only 1 player needed to start without looking at the game type. Then they just attack whoever is closest.

I totally agree. There should be a screening process for new players. Negative feedback does nothing if they are never going to play again. Im currently in two games (actually only one, because i just lost the second) where i have had new players as allies who have deadbeated. Im currently playing in game 34599 against two players because both my teamates and one on the opposite side have deadbeated.

this is just a statistic i read at the WAW website but it says that 4 out 6 new players join games and then never come back to play them. I think thats about right.
