3500 hours player on AOE3 nilla, why theres no elo rating on DE ?

[Cleters]

Hey everyone, I'm part of the 1500 dudes playing AOE3 vanilla everyday for years and years. But I just can't play DE cause random games apparently don't show people's PR/ELO. Can someone explain me why and if they gonna fix it ? How am I supposed to join a 3v3 game if idk the lvl of the people inside of it ? Idk this seems so bad I just wonder if I missed something...

idk maybe cuz its 3 days old?

Hey, you have to click on the "Play a ranked game" button, there you will be matched based on Elo. It actually works better than in the original, because people can no longer farm points or point trade in custom lobbies.

So they are not able to recreate at launch a game that was made this way in 2005 ? IDK if it's a good reason lol. I think the majority of players bought it to play online, if u can't enjoy it at launch it's a problem. :/

It is a wrong answer cause u assume people wants to play vs random people for ranks game... let's be honest, when u achieve a certain lvl in a that kind of game you know who is who, and you dont want to just be teamed with random that will be unable to play it...


In old OAE3, there was 2 systems : the same as here, invisible rank game that search people around ur elo (it was called "quicksearch") => plot twist, nobody, absolutely nobody used it, and it will be the same here in some months, it will be dead

=> the random game where u see the host rank/elo, and all the players rank/elo in the lobby. Everybody was playing this way, but we cant now and i wonder whyy they made it this way...

Hey man, I only play rank games, that's the point.
I have 5000 games that are only ranked on vanilla, there must at least be only like 5 or 6 players able to beat me on vanilla, and only few dozens more if u count pro from TAD and EP who are incredibles good players.

That means i dont want to play with 99,99% of the new players cause it's just a waste of time for them and for me... it's logical.

Automatic rank games don't work : it's the same as quicksearch in vanilla. Nobody use it.

U can't kick a known cheater, u can't kick a meta abuser, u can't fair teams by nations etc...

Just let people host the game like it was done for 15 years isn't too much to ask i think....

You've played a single video game for 145 days. Let that sink in.....

U're on steam, what u expect ? :P

The fact I spent 145 days into a game makes me sad they are unable to make the same game in 2020 half as good as it was in 2005-2007...

It looks like they didnt even tried to see why people still plays it so many years after, and the reason is just : the rank system. It's simply that.

No rank system in classic games = dead game in few months.

Then you're literally not playing ranked. It's like people don't quite understand the concept of competitive gaming. You don't get to pick and choose everything and then label it ranked.

You are not even an AOE3 player, how can u understand how rank works in this game lol ?

This is working the way I said, every other old players are saying the same but u headstrong talking about a game u don't even play...

It´s not the fault of the game, lobbying is pretty good, cause most of the people are honest by now, and rankeds are mostly 1v1, and a good player can climb the ladder pretty easy to reach the people he wants to fight with.

If you are such an vanilla pro, i guys it´s better to find your playmates via discord, then just lobby searching or try to make an lobby ( super hardcore pro´s) which would take ages to fill, even in vanilla. ( where most people play unranked too and get banned instantly in ranked lobby, cause low elo points )

Hey man,

that's what i'm complaining about, having to register all the good players on Discord to find them in the game. On vanilla it was IN the game... :/

And it doesnt take age to fill, i'm playing vanilla right now with no problem...

Everybody plays rank in vanilla btw, it's the basic system.

Lobby page was this way :


GAME NAME / NUMBER OF PLAYERS / MAP / MODE / RANK OF HOST / TIME


And it was perfect, u join the lobby about the rank of the host
