ESOC 3v3 Rated?
ESOC 3v3 Rated?
I don't care for playing 3v3 random per se, but I did enjoy watching streams of it back in the day. I know many people enjoyed playing and watching it as well. Tibia, you are loved.
Currently DE's online platform is not conducive to this format, as has been pointed out by many before. There aren't rated lobby games and you can't see which of your friends is online currently (absolute trash tbh).
I understand that ESOC's replay functionality does allow to detect the winners of a replay.
My pitch is this:
Have a little lobby, hosted on ESOC itself, where forum users can link a steam account. Once 6 players are ready in the lobby, start the game automatically, voobly style. Everyone gets sent to an actual online lobby to play out the game. Once the game end, someone (the host?) has the replay uploaded to ESOC automatically. The game gets rated on ESOC's 3v3 random ladder.
Already, I can see issues with the technical aspect of it. I'm not sure if this can be done on the website itself, nor that any of ESOC's resources should be devoted to the development of this. Furthermore, whereas I think there is a demand for 3V3 random lobby style, I don't know that this pitch fundamentally addresses it. Maybe it does? It seems a bit convoluted, to have to hang out on an ESOC lobby, to then go to steam/AOE and the back to ESOC.
Frankly, I actually closed the tab while writing this up because I don't overly believe in this idea, but I figured that there is no harm in just discussing the idea. I know that 3v3 random was an enjoyable format for many, especially the higher level players.
I suggested trying to develop this on the website itself as opposed to having it on a third party program for simplicity. Then again, ESOC did develop the most excellent patch launcher.
I also think this is more on the devs to do something about than ESOC, which is another reason I almost didn't post the thread. But again, no reason not to at least discuss things.

If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

Re: ESOC 3v3 Rated?
Your proposal seems really complicated considering the best solution would be for the devs to fix what they broke in the first place... But what most team players these days are doing is using Discord to find people to queue with. Otherwise you get paired with people a third of your team ELO who call you racial slurs while you attempt to carry 1 vs 3.

Would you guys want me to start a DE DJ Spin in the casual lobby? Wondering how many would actually enjoy that?
