Re: level restrictions...

I like this idea, it'd help.

Re: level restrictions...

not the first time it has been suggested.

DEFINATELY something we need.

Re: level restrictions...

Another thing I find annoying, but can't really do anything about. Your playing a level 1, then the level one FC's Lovely Lovely Lovely.


Another thing perhaps we should make up in MP.

DEAR N00BS (Ahem Players)

A friendly reminder not to talk in a room where a game is currently in progress.

Thank You.

Re: level restrictions...

heh. I've been having fun making random accounts and then leveling them up to like 12 in 20 games. So amusing, and lets me play easier files that I normally would never play again.

Re: level restrictions...

Ok, Fine.

Just be careful. I might get you with that trick too!

Or Shash,

But I think he would eat me.

Shash Eats N00bs like me for breakfast. I saw it once.

Re: level restrictions...

The earlier few levels of ZA_Shash were very, very amusing.

"haha a level 5 noob...WHAT THE **** 2 GOODS ON CARROUSEL"

lmfao.

Re: level restrictions...

Its a good idea to restrict certan mp level'd users like 1-10 and 16+ would be the ones I would probably select, if it's set up like that...

PS: at last play I was a 15, but I havent played the ffr game in like a month. So I probably play like a 12, =<

Re: level restrictions...

they could have a playlist like halo and you would get matched up with a person around the same leval as you.
it would match you up with them, and you would play.

What if you could choose the level that the person has to be above.

Eg. You have to be level x or higher to play stratos200.

If you could choose the level x then it would be good. Say you only wanted to play level 5 or higher (in my case).

Re: level restrictions...

How about setting up more than one MP lobby.
Like in SMO, an Advanced Lobby and also a Beginner Lobby, yet with restrictions.
Beginner Lobby- Levels 1-13 would be allowed, that would be it.
Expert Lobby- Levels 14-Max would be allowed, no one under 14.

Don't know how hard this would be to implement for LD, but it sounds reasonable. And also, if this were possible, a seperate MP chat would be necessary, due to the complaints from people being seperated from others who they talk to.
Yes this may complicate things, but with the Packet editing and the cosmetic hacking going on lately, what would stop someone from changing their level from 1 to 18 and enter a room to spam. If there was some direct access to a lobby connected directly from stats from the user, this wouldn't allow people to enter rooms because their levels would not be read from what is shown in MP.

EDIT: Wow, that complicates things. Rofl.

Hmm...I like that, but I have some friends with higher level, and I really enjoy chatting with them. I also have some friend who have been here for a while, and have never done multiplayer, so they're level 1, but they are WAY better. Do you guys see what I'm saying? It reminds me of when I started. I went into every multiplayer room, and all but one left. Then a level 7 decided to play FF7 with me. I schooled him, then he left, then a level 9 came in. Played FF7, they lost, they left. A fellow level 1 came in (I was now level 2) We played about 5 rounds before we had to leave.

So what I'm saying is that there are many good players out there who are level 1 on MP, and people won't play them, because they think those people are n00bs. I really have never liked the idea...or if it HAD to happen, I think there should be 1 chat lobby, and 2 (or more) game lobbies.

Re: level restrictions...

I like your idea Scottish, but I think it would need to be more like this:

Beginner: Level 1-15 to play
Expert: Level 13+ to play

Notice the overlap zone so that way there is a transitional period, and also (if we went by Scottish's) is you just got level 14 you would have to go to the expert lobby but if you lost your first game you would have to go back to the beginner.

Also I think there should be no level requirements for the lobbies, just for the games from that lobby.

Or we can just go with the original idea and set parameters with the games themself.

Or I can stop babbling.

You're welcome.

Re: level restrictions...

Look forward to bug fixes in MP this week. Don't know if this will be one of them, but it HAS been re-enforced to Synth that we want this.

Re: level restrictions...

I personally don't see the need for seperate lobbies...just let people set level restrictions on their rooms. All problems solved.
