Yup, seen them as well. Hard to pinpoint when they appear.

So for a moment we thought there had been a stealth update today. For one round, my ally was able to make firebats from the terran menu. No one else in the game had the ability. He made them and they looked and acted like firebats. I'm not sure if they were there instead of another unit or if it was an extra option. The next round they were gone.

Can someone please upload the newest version of Battlecraft to the european servers? I would really love to see the new map and I have heard it is great!

Is there a way for me to download the map and host it on European server?

If so, can someone please explain it shortly :)

Thanks and have a great sunday

Doh, I thought I had asked about a match making system before but I had forgotten. Thanks, though. I believe the rating drop can happen in any round that both opponents leave before the crystals are destroyed. It can happen in any combination of 2on2, 1on2, or 2on1, though winning a 2on1 tends to push people to rage quit prematurely.

Yeah ratings loss is still happening. I keep losing points when I win a 2v1 where the last enemy leaves. I've dropped from A- to B- over several games while winning almost all of them.

I do notice the rating loss doesn't seem to happen in the game. I only notice it the next game, and I've watched it as the games end. It might be that the map is not clearing the 'playing round' data so it assigns an automatic loss at the start of the next game.

Would it be feasible to implement a rudimentary match making system for BattleCraft? I was thinking it could just check ratings and match up the two highest players.  Though, I'm not sure if you could override this if two players joined as a party and wanted to play together.

Norbak, You know there are rounds already implemented right? Its Bo3 right now if you vote to Extend.

Create rounds. The games are over pretty quickly. E.g. best of 5. I find it annoying having to recreate a game all the time :)

Just another confirmation that the rating loss bug is definitely still happening under the same circumstances.

soo, does the EU version get updated still, een though it keeps showing Battlecraft 2.3.3 and no notification of an update?

The lobbies are useless for team layout, as far as I can tell. The only thing I rely on is joining as a 2 person party will put you on the same team. Probably.

For example, moving someone between teams has no effect. I do it all the time when a game is going to start with 3 people: I try to move my ally to the opposing team so it's somewhat fair. Then the game starts and I'm on the large team.

Could you clarify something tordecy? In what order are teams assigned in the lobby? We were playing arranged 2on2 from the battlecraft channel tonight.  I thought I remembered the teams were, in order of joining party, 12 vs 34.  It seems it was 13 vs 24 but then another time it didn't seem to match up that way.  Perhaps we were mistaken on who joined in what order.

I like the idea of aberations but they seem underpowered, whats up with that.

Yes. I can try to find a replay of it as it just happened.

Income should slowly multiply to double or triple when no units are on the field.

Join the "Battlecraft" Channel! Get some strat talk rollin' =D Also, itd be nice to see tordecy make some appearances while he's testing ;)
