FFA ladder advancement

[aarnikratti]

Equalrium as substitute of Market Square
Neon City as subs ( or compannion) of Silverpine Woods

Market Square and Silverpine Forest are classic FFA maps that should always be in the map pool.

Best new maps IMO are Purity, Dragon Island, Neon City and Meson de la Taberna.

[Ugrilainen]

yes we need a balance between Classic maps, RH maps and custom maps. We will get into that at a later stage :)

Anonymus ladder games are very very bad.

[Ugrilainen]

progresses are being made...

:)

[Vyvanne]

Yay! Thanks Ugri!

This is a long shot/going to be a huge amount of work, but if FFA is something that can also be introduced to Netease... that would make me a happy, happy cat ^_^

I am also very willing to help front costs for this.  If it's a monthly thing and not too much, hell I'll just pay it all upfront to make something like this happen. I sorely miss ladder FFA.

[Ugrilainen]

we can expect in the near future one sole bnet server.

Which will mean that this bot would just patch things a little bit, before we are all back on bnet to play FFA on a ladder like the good old days

Anonymus ladder games are very very bad.

Yes, true, but anonymous ladder games are very very good.

Yes, true, but anonymous ladder games are very very good.

bnet ladder was made anonymous for zillions of years too. That's just what the vast majority of players want, and thats whats needed.

So thats what we gonna do! :)

@Vyvanne I try to do less China/Netease related tasks, there is so much to do in the West atm.

Chinese players never liked FFA, will be hard to change that just with my pretty face

I love to come back and see all of this!!

My throw ins:

1. Working ladder / stats.   This is the most important thing to keep it competitive and active.  If there can be set times for seasons (ex: 3 months at a time) would be good too.

2.  Not too many custom maps with 8+ players.   These ones (thinking of Pinball Crux) take forever to fill and often start with 5 players.   However, with a working ladder/statistic system this may not be an issue.

3. Anonymous = great for ladder FFA.

4. IF we can play on Bnet with the new patch on bots that have no lag... FFA IS BACK!!! :)   

5. I will contribute $$ and time/efforts if need be.  Let me know, Ugri!

I noticed a few people who want to donate, so I'm gonna repost our patreon. I regularly update our financial page on this site (viewable to donors) so you can always see where the money is going. This new bot should cost about the same as the old one but I'm not entirely positive on that yet. Thanks! https://www.patreon.com/FFAMasters

Done, signed up for $5 monthly.  If there is ever a need for a lump sum donation, I am willing to donate as needed, and quite heavily if needs be at that  !

Thank you! We get much more out of small monthly donations then lump sums. Apart from the monthly bills that need to be paid and the occasional prizes, I frankly don't have any idea what to do with a lump sum of money!

[Seksi]

Also pledged the $5/monthly.  Long Live FFA!

[IWANTWC4]

I Hope you have the bot set up so it can start at  4 players as well as 6 or 8.  Maybe include that in rotation to auto start at 4 or 6. Etc etc
