Aw, c'mon. You don't expect a company full of "professionals" to do something done by an enthusiast 10 years or so earlier do you? That's preposterous!

Where did arqon go? FUCK

ya need arqon break game even more good call

i liked it when you were fake russian :(

None of the ProMode team know either.

I believe that they're just reaching for subscribers.

I don't know how ra3 worked, but do you really expect people to spec on a server for the duration of whole game instead of disconnecting and playing on another server?

ra3 is simply winner stays
and after each round one of the specs gets to play

well, I'm not so sure that in QL people will be wanting to just spec on a server waiting for their turn instead of actually playing on another server

you really are that slow aren't you?

no, i just can't read :P

In RA1 in Q1 it was okay being a spectator, when you knew your turn was coming up, with the potential to stay on ad fight until you lost. It was more fun being a spectator as I remember in the 1v1 arenas, you were not just held in the queue as a spectator but there was a waiting area above the map. You could see your other spectator models and fight against them while also hovering above the match which was going on below. Was quite interesting being in the gallery, like an amphitheatre. As a player in the game you could also see the spectators in the sky which was pretty neat!

hhehehe yeah I loved that option cos I'm sad and just love fking about :)

Prey one day our subscription money goes towards creating that feature but I can guarantee there wont be the spectator room :(

Can't be that hard to implement. Problem is, each kill would be considered a match like a duel similar to the duel system where people que to play. People would end up with stats of 1,000,000 wins because they'd be playing 200 'games' a day where they'd win one frag.

But then who gives a fuck about stats anyway?

hmm, how about: each win gets you a score point and there is score limit for the match?

Would have the opposite effect though with people getting tons of losses/quits

Have a timelimit of 15 mins for all players/teams and the leader at the end wins. Individual wins don't count.

Some guy could win almost all rounds then loose at the end. Would be a bit harsh lol

Well in ra3 you got damage points and an extra point for a kill so if they are winning every round they will still get a win if they lose the last round. It wasn't round based iirc, there was a leaderboard.

Ahh good point. I guess it'd just rank as a FFA server then in terms of higher damage = 1st place and everyone else down to last (lets say 6th)

yri

1on1 or 2on2 in ra3 was a warmup mode focused on short matches,where you would care only about aiming and dodging. Winning wasn't really the point, since if you lose you would just wait on or two quick rounds to have your next chance. Some people then tried to make more serious matches, best of 21 and blabla, but really it was a minority of outliers trying to import concepts from other modes that did not really fit. The current game mode is not really optimal in recreating the proper atmosphere. Neither the stats are really meaningful here, except for the aiming.

If there is room to implement anything specific, I guess the ra3 formula was quite good.

There should be a rocket arena tab at the top of the server browser that then groups duel and clan arena together, with the option of viewing each seperatley.

I estimate winner stays on approach being implented sometime in 2012 :)

you have got joke ???
