Comp Lobby Change Proposals Part 2

over 10 years

Hello fellow players, after recent discussions in the original thread by Bumpers, we've come down to four solutions.

Check out the previous thread: https://epicmafia.com/topic/63209

Solution #1

Merge Competitive and Training lobby and rename it to "Main" or "Casual" lobby. Change the requirement to join the competition to 100 games played and 50% win ratio.

Solution #2

Disable the competition in Competitive lobby and move it to Training lobby for a trial period as suggested by Retti.

Solution #3 Rename Training lobby to "Beginner" lobby and Competitive lobby to "Advanced lobby".

Solution #4

Keep things how they are now, there is nothing wrong with our current society laid upon by our founding fathers.

Vote in the poll which solution you like best and discuss in this topic further ideas for a reform.

Furthermore, everyone seems to like the idea about different tiers of achievements.

> We must colonize Training Lobby for the good of the American Competitive Nation. We will stock our boats and sail westward where they speak in tongues and do not even understand how to properly 'scumhunt.' We will teach them our ways and make life better for all, working together as one group. Join me, in my great voyage, and we will make EpicMafia a better place to live.

I like Starter Lobby for training and Standard Lobby for comp

Solution 2 w/ a point requirement to join the competition plus the eventual deletion of competitive lobby is the best thing to do so as to make the deletion of competitive lobby as gradual as possible.

All this is doing is saying "First we'll move the comp THEN we'll change the name."

Yes, to decrease the amount of people crying about the merge just because.

Just rename it "Ranked" or "Main" and get it over with.

They tried solution 2, it sucked. The training lobby comp rounds ruined the balance of many setups.

Doesn't mean it can't solve this problem.

Ideally, solution 4 is the best but it doesn't hurt to try changes.

Solution 4.*

Bumpers concern about "Competitive" intimidating people won't be solved by any of the solutions above.

Merging would be hell. Disabling competition is suicide. Renaming to Beginner/Advanced is the same as training/competitive.

Solution #4 is the best, but you can also rename "Training" to "Basic"

also for solution #1, we don't necessarily have to use the suggested requirement system we can change it back to the point requirement if you guys don't like the 100 game / 50% win ratio requirement. although I do think 1,500 points is a bit too low and should be raised higher. 1,500 points was the limit set long ago after it was lowered from 2,000 points. but now everyone has reached that limit
