AOE4 will have ranked play
AOE4 will have ranked play
We discuss multiplayer briefly, including the fact that AoE4 will - as expected - have defined seasons for ranked play. They won't be available at launch sadly, but they'll be following at a later date. “We're going to try to time major balance updates with new seasons starting,” says Isgreen, “since we want to encourage people to kind of have a reset and get ready for a new meta, when the seasons switch.”
It clearly says that seasons won't be implemented at launch, but that is not true for ranked in general

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
Read further into the interview:
Sounds pretty clear that "global queue feature for ranked multiplayer" is on the post-launch roadmap.As we stray onto the topic of the much-demanded global queue feature for ranked multiplayer, Isgreen takes a moment to (mildly) lament the high level of expectation on AoE4’s launch feature set driven by the runaway success of AoE2’s definitive edition. “It’s something that we absolutely want to add - but it’s worth remembering it wasn’t in AoE2 at launch, and it wasn't even in Definitive Edition until later. So we're... we're trying.” Given this level of expectation, AoE4’s developers have made the smart decision to launch with a roadmap of what’s being added to the game, across the campaigns, the multiplayer modes, and the scenario editor.
“Oh!” Isgreen adds, as we’re wrapping up. “Cheats! Cheats are coming post-launch as well, since that's kind of a classic Age thing. And we haven't talked about that before, so there you go.”

"it wasn't even in definitive edition until later" - What feature are they really talking about? It's really confusing to me.EAGLEMUT wrote:Read further into the interview:Sounds pretty clear that "global queue feature for ranked multiplayer" is on the post-launch roadmap.As we stray onto the topic of the much-demanded global queue feature for ranked multiplayer, Isgreen takes a moment to (mildly) lament the high level of expectation on AoE4’s launch feature set driven by the runaway success of AoE2’s definitive edition. “It’s something that we absolutely want to add - but it’s worth remembering it wasn’t in AoE2 at launch, and it wasn't even in Definitive Edition until later.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
That interview is not very clear on whether AOE4 will have any kind of multiplayer at launch.
What is clear is that there won't be any ranked mode, but they didn't specify anything about a non-ranked multiplayer or LAN mode.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
I think nothing about any of this is clear to me. It also just doesn't make sense for them to not have a ranking system. Thats half a day of work for an intern to implement.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
@RefluxSemantic ranked multiplayer basically. Americans have got a way of confusing things.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
Can you produce the quote where they literally say there won't be ranked multiplayer?
EDIT: if aoe2DE didn't have ranked multiplayer at launch then that's pretty clear actually. Is there any source for this or can anyone confirm? It just seems so weird to me.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
You are right I was slightly mistaken. What they meant was that players on different servers won't be able to match and there wont be any seasons. But it seems some form of basic local ranking will be there. *got this explanation from forum

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
I thought global queue was referring to being able to see everything that is researching or training from all your buildings at once and nothing to do with ranked multiplayer.
Confusion like this makes their failure to share more information all the more baffling.

Re: AOE4 will have ranked play
For all the people shitting on "pixelpoint warriors" in another thread, it's interesting to see how people are up in arms about there being a lack of ranked play upon release.
