TMM Weekend
-
And if a weekend is controversial. What about a TMM hour? We can find the hour with the lowest amount of active players.

What makes you think TMM is failing now?
Between all the common game modes (1v1-6v6), 2v2 was the least played prior to tmm.
1v1 was 3rd only behind 6v6 and 4v4, as those both contain maps that are constantly played at all times on FAF.
Reviewing current 2v2 queue stats across the months since tmm was released, 2v2 is now basically as popular as ladder itself. In a few month when there’s a solid enough data points to get a new review of game type popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 2v2 near or just below 1v1 in popularity, meaning a near 150-200% improvement in game quantity.

you're trying to shove players where they don't want to go.

Let's be honest, control over the taste of players maps/modes has long been lost and will never be restored. You can't change it, not now, not after. Even with your idea. What you are proposing now is a drastic measure that will only show your attitude. You won't lose players, but it will be remembered

Nothing, I didn't mean that. I was more suggesting, let's get on with the show.

Well I think it’s going decently as it is, I never really expected everybody to leave dual gap and astro games. All RTS games have a strong turtle component, problem is more that FAF has an absurd ratio.
Even sc2 which is about as extremely focused on 1v1 as can be had huge popularity in their coop scene, mods, and even teamgames were still decently popular. Their ratio is more of 1v1 consisting of 40-50% of their active playerbase (I think) while ours is 10%.
You surely can change player map preferences as it’s a matter of culturally acclimating people to a type of game environment. Turtle maps with little to do are just the lowest barrier to entry and are often casted on FAF, so it not only has the enticing aspect for new players but people also play it because many casters push them into these games.
Overall, the goal is better reached through something closer to what Valki said and it’s why I sometimes spend a few hours going through tmm replays to send to jagged/willow duality/duelist.

Yeah ok, cool. I wonder what else we can do to light a fire under it.

I know that this is not feasible. But disable the selection of players for queue by rating (like 500 +- 1800) without approximating for <1000 ratings, and set the search by the current rating using the entire formula.
For example: [Player 500 +-300 1800]. From this, use 500 for the selection of players -

Stop creating hysterical news and just report what is useful, please.
I’m getting tired of seeing news posts with added, unnecessary, personal comment.
It would be nice to at least TRY and give the impression we work well together to prospective new members of the community.
-
Yeah limiting the players is commonly received pretty bad
Suggesting that normally turns out bad. -
Hi Morax, haven't heard from you in a while. Please its hard to undersand, what news was hysterical?
-
I work together with all of you friend and foe alike. Together we are the pillars of faf, all members of faf equally constitute its soul coca, highlander, lazy avena, k240, darkmatter2015, feather bennis and psions, like yudi nexus and zock. We are faf, and morax and nine2 who sounds like a noob loooool
-
Too much to discuss on a message board, nine.
Why don’t you host a 2v2 tourney with minimum game requirement? Don’t need to have money, just do it.
-
Would be nice to have a league leaderboard for 2v2 alongside the 1v1 one.
