Getting kicked from custom lobbies
Sheikah had some auto-hosting lobbies at some point. That, along side your own lobbies (of you, Phong) and other actual all welcome games are a solution here. We could even make auto-hosting lobbies with specific rating ranges, to guarantee that people of the same rating are in that game.
Long queue times in matchmaking, and very imbalanced matches for the first 10 or so
I don't think there is much we can do against this - it is how the rating system works.
Few similarly ranked players willing to play anything but dual gap and astro
Same as before - auto hosting lobbies.
Very steep learning curve
Inherent to the game: an RTS in general is difficult. Supreme Commander made it exponentially more difficult, just look at the initial reviews of the game. There are some solutions, some pre-existing and some being worked on:
- The original campaign missions are a great introduction to the mechanics of the game
- @HintHunter is working spearheading the work on tutorial-like missions and videos, we just need more people and in particular someone that is willing to learn the scripting side of it. It isn't too in-depth scripting, but it still needs to be done by someone.
Are you interested in taking part?
I'd love to, but I have other things to do .
