He was younger than me, sucks really, short life.

Just a minor annoyance that will tests your sanity after some 100 maps later...

That's fine, I did something similar with my RA2's unofficial patch.

@Holland How did you make these edits? Is it possible to edit Final Alert the same way?

But... We got a need for speed!!!

It's your third duplicate account on the forums.

Seeing as I can't do anything about toxic players like Andy who is banned on XWIS forums, I don't care, if I was an actual staff member I'd act accordingly, until then... I have minor management powers taking care of just a small portion of updates basically. Says the guy trying his hardest to put words in my mouth.

Best to just ignore the kids. We waste our time otherwise @Kikematamitos

We don't have bans on CnCNet. Seeing as I've always quit for lost games, for me, it's still fair play. However in your case, you're just looking for attention as always.

Yeah, it's legal, but claiming complete ownership would be against copyright law. Seeing as the players don't own complete rights to a map due to being 'derivative' works of the original game. I don't know the exact legal lingo, but edit/update and give credit to original author when sharing your map. Example: someguy (original) / guyWhoUpdated (edits)

I called you a toxic player, impersonating a well respected XWIS player, laming hardcore, acting like a kid, flaming. I had fun with my MCV glitch just to rile him a bit then quit, never mentioned that the game wouldn't count, so that's made up. I did however mention that he needs a ban like on XWIS. I didn't bother to post my version as he basically took everything I said and made up that post...

Nice story, lots of lies, you deserve a ban just like you did on XWIS.

@AndrewFord NICE. Did he spend 30 minutes explaining his superiority and how you got lucky that game?

Which just results in annoyed players again, even if it is their own stupidity. BTW why can't I PM you?

After QMing for a while I've come up with a few suggestions to improve the QM/Ladder experience. Please feel free to add to my list in the same clean format. Issue / Suggest solution. Issue : People force closing game at loading screen because they don't like the map. Solution #1: When announcing to the player that a match has been found, Clearly display the map that the match will take place on Offer the user a chance to 're-shuffle' re-pick the map randomly by means of a button Allow only limited re-picks (clicks) While showing a notice that it's possible to veto maps that the player doesn't like Solution #2: When announcing to the player that a match has been found, Display a selection of 5 randomly picked maps shown by map preview thumbnails Offer both players a chance to reject maps from the list Show each player which map has been rejected by darkening the thumbnail or by other visual means Players vote till one map is remaining Issue : Players disconnecting on purpose to wash the game. Solution #1: Reducing the re-connection count down timer duration By reducing the timer duration the player will have less time to reconnect to their network when purposefully disconnecting and re-connecting. Solution #2: Applying a competitive cool down to an offending player (temporary bans) If a player reaches a certain number of offences (disconnects) on their ladder profile they get temporarily banned from initiating a match search. Short ban lengths such as 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes doubling with increasing offences up to a 24h ban. Automated system that improves the QM experience in the long run. Allowing staff to set manual temp bans from the admin CP. Bans reset at the end of the month with the ladder.

@om3rta Could expand the tabs on system information so that I could actually read it? Thanks, that would be great.

What kind of prizes?

@dkeeton @om3rta Please post your system specifications. Hardware / Operating System.

Updated first post

I can add Yellowstone as AvS temporarily for a few months. Maps such as heck TvT wont be added because they only support SvA and are heavily sov favoured. The goal is to get as many SvAvY maps in QM, which is why I'm removing some SvA maps. I will add Tourny A temporarily for a few months as it's always been a fan favourite. I'll take a look at removing your suggestions.

Same 8 GI with increased damage compared to RA2.

Yuri's Revenge Ladder Map Pool Update for July/August Following were added. [Pro] Dry Heat [Pro] Dustbowl [Pro] Sahara Mirage [Pro] Stardusk [Pro] Pinch Points [Pro] Urban Rush [Pro] Frostbite Blood Feud II Proving Grounds Heck Freezes Over (made available for matchups) Yellowstone Official Tournament Map A Following were Removed Defcon 6 Sea of Isolation Loaded Barrel Post any feedback here and changes will be made accordingly, based on a player consensus.
