Elimbeta has killed elim

[Ward]

Horrible, I mean HORRIBLE fucking arena. Very poor effort by whoever made it. With all the unnecessary spams, moronic idea of having 2 arenas, different ! commands, I feel like someone had every intention to doom it. The ranking system is completely broken. I mean.. it took an idiot to set it the way it worked before, but now it doesn't work at all. Oh well.... someone tell me why the arena is empty now. CUZ PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR FUCKING ITEREST.

Staff, could you please hire someone competent enough to understand what players want? So far we have played what Milosh thought was best in his mind. Seeing this from my side.. who is Milosh and where the fuck did he come from? Haven't seen that name till like 2 months ago. Is he a good warbird? No. Been around for a while? No. He didn't know what the fuck he was doing, and should have never been assigned to this task. Please revert elim system to what it was before, with RoboRef's. Shouldn't be hard to at least make a simulation for those bots since Priitk has ditched this game. You know.. one arena, simple !rank command, same ranking system instead of all that superflous garbage created by Milosh who completely ignored the basics that players want.

no, im just talking out my ass
great elim.

I actually love the new elimbeta with the practice arena and the myriad of stats that it keeps track of. I think it's a great arena. Way better than the old elim.

Clearly not. The casual arena is completely redundant and it creates discomfort for the players in elim. Can't ever tell who's still in and who's out when there are players sitting in casual arena. If you want practice, type ?go. Stupid idea.

And are you trying to tell me this elim is better than the old when everyone used to have so much fun playing and now nobody plays at all? A new replacement bot in ?go elim was already half bad, but now with ?go elimbeta and its dumb settings its totally destroyed.

[Doc Flabby]

I do agree the practice arena fails. (although alot of people seemed to want it...)

The javs still prac in ?go javs and dont use belimbeta...

A far better idea would be to allow you to register with the bot. So the bot would then automatically transfered you to the baseelim/elim arena when it starts...I find alot of the time i see the message that a new game is starting...get there and find out i cant join. Or maybe thats just slow old me...

The problem isn't that the new elim sucks in any way, it's just that we've had the elim arena, and the elimbeta arena too long. It's time to make one elim arena, get rid of the beta. The longer we have the two arenas, the longer people like me are going to wait for elim to be fully 'ready'. Yet in the meantime, people don't really want to play, aside from the occasional test.

yes Yes YES YES and we shall call it P U B

Man, the day I get angry about something like this, I'd probably shoot myself.

The practice arena was never meant to be fully populated... it's just there for the few people who come in midgame, or the people who go 0-10 and have to wait until the next game.

If you're ANY good at elim (yes, refering directly to you ward) then you'd spend exactly 0% of your time in the casual playing area because you'd be winning elims. Quit complaining about shit that doesn't even affect you (unless you're bored of being one of two ships out so early they're in the casual section).

go Javs should be brutally killed - as in remove the map so that no one can go sit in afk and draw the attention away from belim (which should drop the beta..)

I'd say go ahead and drop the 'beta' from elimbeta if it's near completion, and rename elim --> 'oldelim' or something that doesn't confuse players who are trying to play elim.

Elim's dropped in #'s since the elfbots came around, I agree. But there's no way to go back to the old elim, so to suggest that is plain stupid.

The practice arena could be made smaller, and possible more interesting so that people are more willing to goof off in it instead of sitting in spec waiting for the next game. But that's probably overkill, it would work just fine as-is if there were enough people in the arena. There's not a lot of reward for designing an arena to hold and do best with 30-50 ppl, then trying to accomodate for scenarios where it only has 5-10 ppl in it and have it work both ways.

.?go javs > belimbeta

Thought I've clearly stated the problem with casual arena

[death row]

Yeah, I want the old elim back. I'm not disrespecting the efforts, but elim had better activity. Now both elim and elimbeta is pretty much dead...
