Time to get news

Post by foroso »

Hello dear people of Eso(C),

Maybe some of you may have known me, i 'm and old (not so old :P ) player with some differents accounts : SiNfONiA_foro, Foroso

Owner of the SfA team, creator of the old Pro Leagues, and differents tournaments/events for AoM and AoE3 since 2006.

Years have passed and i'm absolutely happy to see the Age community still alive and in a good health. What the team have done here, is a great work.

So, i was wondering myself, as now, all of you know this game better than me, how is going on the competitive way for aoe3 ?

Gl hf guys

Yes, it's a good thing, very good one, i wish you best luck for all participants.

My new project is upon 1v1 league, to make some competitive events, weekly/monthly to stay with some durability. Do you know how many players are playing on the night ?

Daily peak at GMT night ranges around 1100-1700 concurrent players on ESO these days. Perhaps the population statistics page would interest you.

Imo the game might be dead for high level players. For lower level players (the most of us) the game isn't dead at all.

I struggle a lot of ages for get a game even when I smurf with a PR 17 account lol. Also there's a lot of high level players smurfing on lower accounts, so yeah, you got a point there. The game isn't dead at all.

Usually takes me about 2 seconds to get a RE QS match (PR 29).

it is extremely hard to get a game, even in qs. I play peak hours too. You got lucky most likely.

Could be. Here's an example from two days ago where I got 3 QS games with three different players back-to-back without issue during GMT lunchtime on a workday:

Hakuma resigned when I stomped him grabbing a nat, that's why the short game length :hehe:

Hate to say it, but to me the game feels almost as dead as it did near the end of 2014. At least at the top level. Probably more so because all of the quick search players are gone. I can still get games, but it's always against the same 10 people.

Even tournaments don't bring players back anymore, and it doesn't feel like there are a lot of players stepping up to fill the shoes of absent top players. In terms of mechanical skill it feels like the game is at an all-time low, with myself included because I have no one pushing me to be better about my mechanics; or maybe it's just that there seems to be some kind of stigma surrounding mechanics lately. Feels like people say every single mechanic is "easy" and therefore either doesn't matter in the game (as in it's not going to affect the outcome), or doesn't reflect skill.

Well, you're at a level only 93 players total have reached (or surpassed) throughout the past two years, and that's including cheaters/point traders.

Not really, because the elo is lower today than it was before because of smurfs.

I don't think mechanics are at an all time low because of some kind of stigma surrounding mechanics. I think it's just because there aren't as many good active players.

There's been a lot of talk about seasonal ladder but so far it didn't happen, maybe in the future.
No Rush and Lost are still quite popular, we might see events in both of those formats happening this month actually.

Then seems like it's time for AoE3:DE which might bring back more players!!

And it it doesn't, we always have AoE4 as backup :hehe:
