There are two acceptable date formats: DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD. The latter is superior, as chronological order = numerical order - great for labeling measurements/ entries.

MM/DD/YY is a monstrosity without any justification that should be euthanized.

Are you going to do something with a ridiculous # of players having "Best rank ever: 1st" by joining the ladder the day it was revamped?

are you implying that having 50 players getting 1st rank on the same day is a bad thing?
Crazy!

My 2nd rank was already removed I believe

Why are vacations not honored on seasonal games?

+1 to those asking/complaining about the ladder UI and boot changes -- a big (albeit respectful) thumbs down. especially for ranking team ladders by individuals rather than teams. that goes totally against the concept of a team-based competition.

My question: why is QM still limited to 40 templates? warzone has new templates created all the time, what is the upside to limiting the rotation to 40 - especially when people can veto the templates they don't like?

Hi Fizzer, thank you for addressing the ladder in a new update, after the (strategic) community has been screaming for it for so long. It is much appreciated to get an update there!

I particularly want to thank you for addressing the main issue that has been brought up so often, which is the rating system. This has been improved a lot.

I also have a couple of questions though:

Since there have been many discussions around boot time, the UI, and so on.
I am sure your decision making is backed on lots of data, would you mind sharing some bits with us to make us understand better?

1. The new ladder UI is clearly built for mobile design, how many people are really playing (ladders) from mobile? Does this differ between player types (RT/MD, ladder/casual, etc.)

2. Similar question, do you have data regarding playing behavior in relation to boot times? For example, I could imagine that you found that most people who only take their turns every 3 days still log in 5 times daily in the meantime?

3. Have you compared f.e. 1 day boot tournaments with 3 day boot? And potentially the boots didn't increase and the tournament moved along much faster? Such examples would help us understand.

Thanks!

Why do the ladders no longer respect vacations as well as having extremely short boot time for multiday games? Please change back to 3 days + vacations honoured. The rating system change fixed the initial issue of stalling.

Hi Fizzer, before anything, I have to thank you for implementing such changes -- most of them are good -- for the first time ever in a decade. When your stream starts it'll be 2am my time. I probably won't be there, but I might be, who knows. Some quick, short but complex questions.

1. BBJ's 2, basically the criteria of reducing ladder booting time (I can accept "this is my decision" as an answer tbh). Personally I am more open to reducing 1v1 ladder boot time. But then I (Many others as well I believe) am wondering what has made your decision of speeding up the rest ladders.

-- All ladders back to 3 days, user opinion collection.

https://www.warzone.com/Forum/691203-1d-boot-2d-ban-enough-seasonal/
-- Seasonal ladder back to 3 days, user opinion collection.

2. Would you consider placing Multi-Template-Ladder (MTL/MDL) on the ladder page as well? Why/Why not?

2.1 Would you consider changing the template of 2v2 or 3v3 ladder some day (maybe 1v1, but less likely I believe) in the future?


All the lines below are some additional info, you can choose not to read it.

Disclaimer: I am not asking/forcing you to change you mind -- That probably wouldn't work anyway, I can also write in user-voice and wait, but then I am too bothered to do that so I am just simplifying the whole process by asking you here.

If ones argue that seasonal is identical to 1v1, then congratulations, because the most consistent player in both playing and stalling wins seasonal, as booted players will leave ladder immediately.

And as clarified by many others, team game is not supposed to be work under the 1d mechanism. Regardless of the "magic extra banked time".

Hi Fizzer.

1.What's on your mind for future roadmap of the game?

2. What changed when you decided to allow 40+ player games? You were against it for quite a while, I remember.

10/10 update, but what are the odds we can get 1 day boot with no banked time? 24 hours is plenty of time as it is, and I think the banked time only leads to confusion.

*edit*

Hey Fizzer,

I think that I found a bug in the last update. You moved clan war to the Multi-Player tab but when you are looking at clan wars it shows the community tab as white still. Is that intentional?

Suggestions

You can get notifications if a tournament you have entered has ended. But I want to follow tournaments my friends entered too. So it would be great if there was an option to manually select tournaments you haven’t entered.

Fix “Fun Stats” so that FFAs don’t count. Big FFAs and diplos can destroy the stats if you also play 1v1’s against the player. You can play 20 diplos, both lose every game, then be 20-0 against them in 1v1’s and it will say you beat them 50% of the time.

The ability to search for people you’ve sent a mail to or received one from so you don’t have to create a new mail for every subject.

The ability to message yourself or create notes in games, with linkable territories, so that when you look at a game a couple days later, you don’t have to analyse everything again. There’s a forum thread on this:

How much bug-testing do you to before rolling out major updates like revamping the Ladder?
I've seen a lot of broken stuff since its implementation and started to wonder.

small question, do you have plans regarding expanding the number of resources mods may use? like memory usage, number of custom unit images, etc...

I'm planning on making a mod that brings a lot of new stuff to warzone but I feel like the memory limit will become an issue. and about the number of custom unit images, it would be nice to use more than 5 images in one mod. otherwise I'll be forced to use a second mod to include the images for the units (believe me, it is worth it imo)

What is your plan currently with making mods acquirable for all players, like the Picks Swap mod? Are there any requirements these mods need to meet except for server time / resources? Are we allowed as the community to suggest and reason which mods should be available for all players?

Would be nice if mods could read other mod’s settings so that there’s greater compatibility between mods. Only need readonly access, no write.

what is your favourite board game?

Please accept feedback from community leaders. A lot of these players spend their free time and money on your amazing game! They invite their friends, help players learn the game, and do their best to improve the quality of gameplay. The clan leaders in Warzone really care, and it would be nice if feedback was heard more often from these people :)

Or a community manager would be brilliant, and many players would do it for free I would think. Lots of upstanding community members who are active.
