claim victory


(Sandpuppy) #1

I cannot play any games atm (again) because several ppl haven’t made a move for 2-3 days :frowning:

I understand that automatic deletion or too many settings when starting a game might be a problem & many ppl might like to play with friends at a slower pace, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a “claim victory” button after about 24-48 hours without your opponent making a move?

So, do you want the player to claim rewards when your waiting too long but leave the possibillity for patient players to wait for the opponent
or do you want a shorter waiting time till a game expires
or do you want a reward for games that expire - because there is a reward already. you just don’t get informed IG - only per push
or all of it?

I want to be able to make room for new games with active players

I’d like to be able to play when I got time and feel like it, not when my opponents do :slight_smile:

the last days I have not been able to play much, and I could not even start the tournament because my game list is full…
and before I do I would like to practise some 14squadpoint games - have not played them since the beginning, but that is impossible if you have 2-3 open slots at most and the rest is 2-3 days old games

so maybe instead or additional to the “claim victory” button der should be a “delete” button, which forfeits the game but gives you the opportunity to start a new one with a more active player

I think claim victory idea is very good!!!
If the player don’t have time to play, don’t start a game.
If the player no move for 24hrs he worth to lost because of his own.
The loser loses nothing anyway, he just can earn lesser coins.
If he is an inactive player do not qualify to gain any of f-king coins!!!

Didn’t we already have this discussion … However, I think it would be a good idea to be able to delete the games in progress, in the game menu, there by forfeit them… However, I do not think that the “waiting time” should be set down further. It is down to its max - in my opinion… There is people out there, who have kids, jobs ex… 24h is not a long time considered the game can be over seas…

I know it can be annoying some times to wait, just remember it’s a turn based game… And if it gets to annoying, just play another game than RS in the meanwhile…

/S…

to wait for some slower players to make their turns is not that annoying, waiting for one third of my opponents to move and for the other 2 thirds simply to finally time out is (especially when you are trying to get some practise or equipment for the tournament), since many ppl simply do not like to finish or surrender games they would inevitably loose

which is probably the downside of the “delete game” button, since it might encourage this behaviour (not moving when behind)
so maybe it would be a good idea to be able to surrender and still get some money, maybe just once a day or after 10 moves or something like that, to avoid ppl farming too easily this way

maybe “claim victory” could be linked to an over all health advantage, so you can do it at least for those games which are going to time out anyways

but this has probably been discussed and will hopefully be adressed in future updates :slight_smile:

so another suggestion regarding this matters is to better explain the squad point-system within the tutorial, I get so many ppl in 24 squadpoint games starting with 2-3 soldiers, or in 14 sp games just using 2 soldiers because ppl do not know how to reduce one soldier down to 4sp

those games usually stop within the first few moves, I think those players get annoyed, think they need to buy stuff to be able to compete, quit playing the game completely and never look back :frowning:

Whatever they decide to do, I just hope it causes the dang multiplayer screen to load faster. I spend more time waiting on the freakin white circles on that screen than I do playing the game. I don’t understand what has to be loaded “every single time” I look at that screen.

Actually the annoying part is Whole list of inactive player and it cannot start another game.
Also ask user to play other game instead of RAD soldiers is not a suggestion for improve this game.
In a commercial world, it is not about fair to everyone “people have jobs, kids etc.( that kind of bullsh…)”
A game is not government! But it have to fair to its customers, user etc. especial those who are active.
Who have no time to play this game just let it go…
Claim victory is not about making inactive player to lost coins. It just don’t let them earn.

Eh I disagree totally. The point of an asynchronous game is exactly the opposite of what you are talking about. If it was designed for real time play then you would be correct…but it’s not. It’s designed to pick up, make a move, and put it down. Hardcore gamers have an issue with that when they enjoy a game. You are the one playing it “not as designed”, not the people who make a move or two a day :stuck_out_tongue:

Either way I play it all day. Just friend people who play a lot and not a problem. I have at least 10 games ready every morning and lots of those progress throughout the day. I probably complete/start at least 10 games a day and lots of them finish same day. Pick better friends and quit going random :slight_smile:

Go visit the “active players” thread or even better the tournament thread. Friend the people playing in there as we are all very active.

You can not to agree what I say.
But comercial world is better be nice to your “active customers”
Believe it or not. But it’s all about company decision, I am giving suggestion only.
Anyway the setting at least let player to delete any inactive player 's game.
Otherwise don’t let the player in turn to delete game either.
