My initial comment was quick, but after some random thoughts.. i think everybody who has 500pts + should be able to match each other (maybe 400? Not sure what average amount of points is these days, but it should be on the higher end)

Do people still care so much about points in 2016? That's pretty sad. Personally, I like to play everyone no matter how many points they have or don't have. I believe a QM without points filter would be the most competitive and active.

Maybe only allow 1 QM nick per player?

There's 20 players online now: http://xwis.net/ra2/online

Come on, remove the points filter already!

 

ppl with multiple accounts, which would just be disgusting.


You use multiple accounts yourself so you're being a hypocrite. :xmas:

I think removing the filter completely would annoy some people pretty hard, good and bad players alike.

300 pts filter seems legit to me. With the add that if you match someone you can always finish the best of 9. So for rematches the filter should go to something like 400.

I'd never touch QM again if the point filter was removed. How can people argue that it will increase competition? Playing half the games vs people who don't even know what map they're playing on is somehow supposed to be fun and competitive?

thought there was a forum rule, one account per person.
Player need's an account to link serial to

Correct me if I'am wrong.

9 nicks is enough I think, sorry if I'am going off topic
 

There was, Pompski (Dave) used to sort this while he was around, most players have multiple accounts now though, although we are better equipped now and can probably sort that.

But even if I moved everyone of them into the duplicate account group they wouldn't be able to post with that account but could still use the nicknames linked with it.

It looks like widening the filter is the most common response so far, is limiting the amount of nicknames a player can use in qm something players would be interested in?

I would be happy if it would be possible for us to mark 1 nickname as our QM nickname in the game account and then only that nickname could be used to login to QM and all other nicknames would be kicked out when trying to QM. :)

In return I would expect widening the points filter or even removing it all together because when everyone only has 1 nickname I don't really see a problem anymore. If you claim to be RaNk #1 you should play everyone. :xmas:

Make it so that all nicks on one game account share the rank/points/wins/losses and ladder only shows the main nick or forum username. :thumbsup:

One idea is a QM tournament option. Topic has been created before. If two people agree, then you can create a tournament and select a "random map" similar to how the QM functions, but in a person's game.

Not possible without a patch.

Too much work involved for ~20 people.

It is possible. No "patch" is needed. Olaf would need to add that option to the server.

How is the server going to choose the map?
