Unranked option

July 5, 2009 8:58:34 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Why is there no unranked option for custom games?

While I realise stats are all kinds of messed up, I'd quite like to be able to test things without getting losses.

So it seems I'm not the only one who wants this. It would be nice to be able to test things against other players without messing up anyones rankings.

All custom games should be unranked games by default!!!!

There should be an option to make them ranked (default settings - not changeable), so we can make ranked games with premade teams and please make one real ranked ladder with transparent point system, updating every 10 mins!!!!!

I agree with the notion of trying out new builds/characters without having to worry about stats, though if I'm being honest, my own stats don't matter to me.

Did you just contradict yourself twice with that parenthetical?

This is what I would like. It would also be easier to tell who premades are because they would want their games ranked while they demolish random teams.

if u cannot understand what I tried to say, sry but english is not my mother language.

This is the only game in history where custom games are ranked in a ladder and that is a big mistake.

There is no option to play ranked games with premade teams, this is the next big mistake.

There is no transpartend ranked ladder, next one!

Now we have 4 ladders (skrimish, custom, panthoen-tournament, overall) instead of ONE

The favor point system is just a joke! (not that what they promised during beta)

The way the stats/rankings work is a joke anyway. :/

I'd have to agree. There should be at least 1 game type to play online with out recording stats. Also there should be a way to make your stats private if you not want the public to see.

unranked option would be swell, but really - we need to see how the next patch (due this week) resolves some of the crashes and exploits.  Stats are way too easy to cheat currently and, at least to me, there isn't much of an end in sight.

We really need an unranked option as it is now you can;t test something online before using it.

Really, i would love to go out and help newbies learn the game / try out new things without it going on my record.

Im not sure that making all custom games unranked is the best way to go. There should probably be separate rankings for both pant, skirmish and custom games. I just cant imagine myself to ever play skirmish or panth games until they get team matchmaking into those and even then i will favor custom as there you have a lobby where you can chat and stuff like that.

The current system of looking at a dumb 'connecting' screen while the game tries to create a game for you is just not my cup of tea.
