Missed Opportunity? ESOC Patch Recorded Games

Post by Interjection »

Just a quick suggestion entirely unrelated to balance that I think we can all get on bored with :)

How many of you guys here have ever played an insanely fun super close match against someone? Or made a really great move that caused you to win which you were super proud of? ...

Well, can we change the ''Record Game'' checkbox to be ticked/checked by default? So instead you''d uncheck the box just before the game starts if you didn''t want to record the game. This way, every game would automatically be recorded and we could hold onto those special AOE3 moments when they happen - instead of them disappearing into memory. This would also result in more excellent games to showcase on my channel ... which was why I started it in the first place and intend to resume doing on it - I used to love doing the ''on-going AOE3 Commentary Series with Interjection'' but nowadays there aren''t so many recs being uploaded. In Age of Mythology, all games were recorded by default and when I moved to AOE3 I usually just forgot to check that box before the game started and got into a habit of never recording games - I expect most people forget to check that box but would do if they remembered too?

Ultimately, this is a feature that I wish existed when I used to play AOE3 every single day of my life and was always looking to improve. It is also something that would definitely increase the pool of top tier entertainment value recorded games to feature on forums/the internet for our generation and potential future generations of AOE3ers to come. Because it''s not just us who enjoys watching AOE3 (*See image) - it''s definitely easier to convince people to pick up this game/return to it if they''re exposed to the very best most entertaining matches (Smackdown is great fun but the games aren''t always amazing and the stream/long video format isn''t exactly that compelling to the casual viewer.)

Thanks for reading! Type/post "support" to be added to the list below :)

Yes, sounds cool. But we will also have to change the the recordings disappearing automaticly when they are not renamed.

Yeah this is a cool idea inter. If i remember well, it's not so hard to do. And yeah i agree with ede, making automatically the game recorded named " X [civ alpha] VS Y [civ beta] " rather than "recorded game 1" etc

Yes! It's definitely also an opportunity to implement a system that auto names recs with useful names :)

This sounds great. I guess a lot of people would be opposed to forcing games to be recorded, although I'd like that personally...

Great idea.
Records are very important for any players. I personally watch many times some great records once I learn more.
Each time I pick up something new. It is much better than streams, as you can replay and watch any area you want. (sometimes I only watch the macro on a specific BO, very useful).
Records are sort of a teacher to me. I don't think I'm the only one who feel that way.
I hope Interjection's suggestion will be implemented soon.

Yeah because anyway if we keep the "recorded game 1" thing, you can have only 9 recs afaik. The new ones replace the older ones, until they reach "record game 9" and then they just vanish. That''s why recording all the games is annoying if they aren''t auto renamed.

Iirc there''s an aiz obs on nilla that auto records + auto name the rec ("player X vs player Y" or sth) when you set difficulty on "expert"

I like the idea. All the more so in qs

I dont like it because it just adds to how long you have to wait at the start of the game. Some 3x3 you already have to wait forever. And as someone else pointed out, only 9 games are stored. That being said I don't think it's a bad idea, and wouldn't be opposed to it, it would just be kind of annoying. I guess I just have never watched a recorded game in my life so I don't see the appeal of it, but if others want it it can't do any harm. I'm afraid though that if it becomes standard for it to be recorded, those like me who would uncheck the box will be accused of cheating for not wanting the game recorded when in reality I would just never watch it. Either that or have to put up with 20 sec delay at the start of every game.

This is a great idea, I'm pretty sure we discussed it before. 2 possibilities:
- It's not possible
- We decided that it wasn't a priority for the first release.

@musketeer925 should know which it is.

That''s not a bugbug, it will only record it if you are the hosting player. You can tell this by if you''re the color blue.

Is it possible in those cases your opponent has ticked the box?

@_DB_ ^^^this is correct. If you''re red and it''s recording it''s because the other guy checked the box, but it will record when you''re blue 100% of the tims
