give us more medal rooms

seams like players# are built back up and we need more medal rooms

i for one think all 4 rooms should be medal rooms

Agreed. The reason they made it one medal room was to encourage competition. The reality is there are only 60 consistent GOOD players at the maximum, so having only one medal room really hinders competition as ~60 good members only makes up 3 cartels. With more medal rooms, there are more cartels up for medal competition. Until there are /a lot/ more good players of DW, there needs to be more medal rooms than just one.

<obligatory posting>I don't know why these threads exist. It's obvious that administrators never give a shit. We ignore everything you say, and we never actually put our ideas to paper.

Now that it's out of the way...

With more medal rooms, there are more cartels up for medal competition. Until there are /a lot/ more good players of DW, there needs to be more medal rooms than just one.

If the problem is that there's a limited amount of really good players, the solution is to dilute the field of competition on which they play on? I'm probably missing something here.

One of the things that lead toward the reduction of medal rooms was the awful "OMG if you play for me in A1, I'll play for you in B4, and we'll live in happy la la land since we never have to make choices about who we play with. I won't ever have to offend anyone by picking one cartel over another! Won't that be great? Tee hee hee" commentaries that people went on about.

What you'll end up seeing is that all of the "new" medal contending cartels are really just another variation of the same people that currently top the A1/B1 games. It's just now they all play against each other in multiple games, but don't care nearly as much since the chances of medaling have gone up 2x-4x. Plus don't forget about all the whining people will have in stating "well you only won because our A/B game had tougher conditions!" At least now people have a more realistic chance of playing on the same field with the same conditions.

-----------------------------------------------

However, at least this time we're attacking the correct fundamental question:

Can anyone tell me - in terms of game mechanics or in terms of a business model- what would actually improve by increasing the medaling rooms?

If one can make a few strong points, then we'll have something to work with and consider. But really think about it. Don't go claiming that doing this will lower suiciding/vesting when you know it won't (if anything, expect it to increase as people can now make more throwaway accounts in rooms they have no cartel affiliation in.)

Oh, and we'd always need to have at least some non-medal rooms. The current medal rooms get locked out, and if they were all medal rooms that means unless you happen to stumble upon us during the right time of the month, you can't play in certain games.

Damn a lot of people want 2

i voted 1 i think that was worded on the dot KS
if there were more medals per room i think people would get bored of it a hell of
a lot quicker if it were that easy,

it brings em back :whistle:

i at least want to see the overall cart and overall players even if you the overall player doesn't win it

HOODLUM
11th January 2009, 06:47 AM
but i think that would really change the whole perspective of the game,

with one it makes it harder yet more interesting to see who is gonna come out on top

and the chances being slimmer of being a medal winning cartel

11th January 2009, 07:02 AM
i reckon 2, gives you the chance to gun one room worth another and if ur game gets ruined by suiciding or gunning in 1 room then you always have the other room that you can do well in.

I think it should stay as it is, in 1 room only. The whole concept of a "medal" is that only the best get it. I guess ya'll think they should run the olympics twice in the same year so more ppl can get medals as well. I personally have never won a medal here, but when I do, I will have something to brag about, and it won't be that I got my medal in a "weaker" room.

i have always said 2 rooms should be the min but they aint gonna change this just cause us players want it that way but i can see the point of 1 room otherwise the same carts will just run both rooms and win all the medals anyway.
im gonna vote for 2 but it aint gonna happen

11th January 2009, 10:20 AM
I vote for two aswel, the game was much more enjoyable in V1. Totally understand what you are saying KS but i only really play the medal rooms (and im sure alot of others do aswel) so if ive only got one account e.g B1 and it get gun fucked or whatever ill just stop playing that account then im not even playing the game until next reset.

If there was two rooms there would be alot more competition, think back to V1 KS, would you have a noob cartel (llamas), win gold FOUR times in a row? No fucking chance lol *not dissing llamas btw mate im just making a point :P* The fact is like somoene already said theres only so many players that are capable of running a decent cartel and if they are all playing for eachother then its pretty pointless. Id love to start up daqqers again but in reality all the players i play with wouldnt be able to play with me because they are gunning or worthing B1.

Surely you have to understand my point :P

one of the big claims about one medal room was that it would make for a cleaner game. this hasn't happened, in fact the game is full of multis. is it more competitive? hardly in B1 where the gold medal has been dominated by a known multi running cartel. the fact that is now recognised by an increasing majority of players is that the game has deteriorated since it became one medal room is reason enough to change it back to the way it was when it was better i.e. multiple medal rooms.

i voted 4 medal rooms, if there is an issue with new players joining mid round open a 5th room just for them

holy shit
11th January 2009, 11:15 AM
i voted for all 4 but after reading the responses i agree with having 2... the game is funner when you can worth in 1 and gun the other... it was even more fun when it was 12 rooms for A and B games lol... oh resets sucked but the drama was alot more exciting.

anyways ok leave the real medals to one room if ya like KS but maybe have sub-prizes or noob medals for the other rooms

11th January 2009, 12:36 PM
i voted 3 just so we did have a room to goof off in.. the i'll play for you if you play for me is still goin on.. if you want a good cartel now you have to kiss ass to get in.. which is so much BS.. and the multies that have showen up .. they wasnt here like they was when we had 3 rooms before... im not goin to lie.. i made a multi in b1.. went to the wi-fi to make it.. i wanted to worth and gun a medal room.. there are 46 wi-fi places with in 20 miles of my house.. each with a dif . IP for me.. takes 10 -20 minutes to gun a room and less to worth.. with more medal rooms i wouldnt have to do that.. and i havent done it in a while.. didnt have a need to.. im happy with reds winnin all the time.. they have the most players in their cartel.. so they should win.. that is back to the kissin ass thing..
the way its set up now.. reds will always win.. all the other cartels should just give up and let them play the room alone and see what happens..

BIGRICK
11th January 2009, 03:03 PM
Voted for 2 rooms.

reasons :

* It would be nice to gun 1 worth 1 (alot agree)!

* Possibility of new cartels competing for medals.

* Those of us who RUN non-medal room cartels but play for a medal cartel could possibly bring our cartel into a medal room.

* (for you guys) - The amount of donations would most likely increase!

* Medal table would be more more competitive.


If you Disagree please state Why and Proof as to why.

Taking it in turns? Sounds like the you play for me and I'll play for you bollocks which made this game boring in the first place :whistle:

Medals rooms are fine as they are.

Want to win a shiny medal and prove your cartel is the best and earn some donation codes along the way? Then come play in the BIGBOYS room and hit 3+ billion and prove you deserve it otherwise continue being a small time crook in the smaller girly rooms.

im with you alco.

i like the medal rooms like this but haven't experianced them any other way except for 1 round.

however the rise of llamas surely shows people that its not impossible to start a new cartel from little much as spamming the GT.

Fair points.

Now, what would be wrong with opening it back up to at least 7 non-medal rooms? Since there used to be 12 (which I agree is too many).

KS - one thing I miss about having more than one medal room is the sneakiness..... with one room it's pretty difficult. Chasing around ppl in other rooms made it exciting as you didn't know where certain carts would show up..... all that guessing is now gone, and the game to me (although I've been away for a bit) seems a bit mundane..... I would bet that you would see an influx of older vets come out and play with the addition a room(s)

i think it does offer some things that are better...

1. it cuts down on multis, the players that help out other carts and play for their own like ive heard of recently.. they can take their asses to the other room.
2. it will actually open up more carts to be able to chance a medal and recruit players to come to them and make them stronger.. ive seen alot of players coming out of the woodworks that might actually rather a fresh start then join the wp/legions/reds/llamas, all others are just there to feed gunners.. they would then have a chance to medal and it would increase competetion
3. with 2 rooms u could actually try to hide in a room, with one u know the comp is there.. so its not as fun, thats y the rooms get gunfucked to shit so much.. if we had 2 the reds could gun one worth the other and it would make it more interesting like the times of 4 rooms to see if u can pull off the medal


the one room is shit.. its to much in one room, my opinion, means absolutely nothing though :D
