 Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:50 pm Post subject: Continuous multiplayer game |
I was thinking of ways to get currently inactive members active when i thought of something. What if on multi player we had a game that continuously went on? What i mean by that is there is a game where the computer builds as it is destroyed and then add more player colors could play. Then for those of us who have little time to play the game or have to leave midgame we could play for a little and then get off without having our score affected on the leaderboard. Abd if needed we could add a leaderboard for the continuous game so for each unit you destroy you get a set amount of points. If you have any questions please comment below.

We couldn't add colors...
Would it be a co op or a PvsP?

Okay, so if players can joing and leave at will, how can it be fair for a leaderboard? Depending when a player joins and how long they play that would greatly vary how many units they kill.
Also, you could only have three colors. Lets say someone leaves (who is blue) and another player joins (and they become blue), does blue's base stay the same? Does it start over?

Same with the normal leaderboard the more games you play the greater chance u have of getting a high score or it could subtract the amount of units you lost from the amount you destroyed. And the base would revert to a hq

Since there arnt as many players playing at once these days, players will probably start playing this (if it were made) rather than playing 'real' games.
Also, if it reverts to an hq/dominion, how fair is that? Lets say someone joins and theres no other players or the other player(s) leave, wouldn't AI easy kill them?
Would the game pause if no one was playing in it?

We would have to figure that out and apply new rules as it develops but the odds of this being made is slim anyway

Scott probably won't be doing this... It may be some time till wi is open sourced and when it is this may not be made. It would require a lot server code modification because of players being able to join while it's in progress and have the base be sold and go back to dominion.
If someone leaves? What happens to their galaxite credits and stuff?

It sounds cool but im not sure about it. If you wanna play a co op, you can make it and have someone join. If no one else is around, you can play a 1 player co op or a single player game.
