Add extra warnings or auto hold for 30 secs to prevent duel farming

Following on from a previous post....


It is impossible to check every duel we join before playing them, some hosts just start without any warning, and farmers will start the game without a hold... giving you very limited amounts of time to prevent losing elo to such players : I joined this game thinking it was just a normal duel and his opponent had left because he was scared to lose, I didnt see settings as it was straight to game, there was no lobby.

If you're going to allow bullshit means of duelling atleast add a simple feature - allow players to add notes on others, so we know why we enemy listed them or to list them as a farmer... and have these notes pop up when we scroll over a profile.

OR

introcude a new auto hold feature... once all countries have been selected allow 30 seconds for players to actually read the game settings... or reintroduce the previous system whereby a duel did not start on turn 0.... because as things stand we have absolutely NO TIME TO FUCKING READ TH SETTINGS WHEN THEY DONT HOLD THE GAME OR WE AREN'T IN LOBBY.

(Meester, pm me next time before locking or wanting further explanation of my stuff, Collumna has the decency to do this, so should you)

turn 1 the game is set to capture paris for 0 turns... so as soon as turn 2 starts I've lost and I've only done a frantic 1 minute turn 1 expansion...

I want this duel removed from my history, its not a contest, its farming at its worst.

READ SETTINGS!
I pred witness when he dueled him,telling him that it's capture albania,and he did what ? Nothing.
Before picking you have HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE COLOUR WHAT IS NEEDED TO DO FOR VICTORY.
Oh yeah,I support notes,as long as player about whom is written can see them.

I suggested removing the capture neutral feature for duels, everyone screamed...
I m glad they addressed matthew issue, this one is still to be solved
Support anyway

Interesting suggestion. In lichess, the game only start once every player does their first move. In curvefever, there is a 5 seconds delay between pressing start and starting.

I think that 30 seconds is to long though. Allow 15 seconds delay between removing 'hold' and starting the game, bringing up the game settings in the meantime

Maybe more prominence in terms of the vcitory settings being displayed would help?

It would have to be really prominent.... like how player names pop up when picks start... a window pops up displaying victory conditions as big as sp medals or something

i support notes about players i forgot why some r en listed

I think currently the capture x duel has been made quite prominent with a new color, however it isn't the fairest if your opponent just starts without holding. I think it's been suggested before but I thought the idea for both players to have the hold-button in a duel was really smart, that way you can start it when your ready and not have to rely on someone else.

The problem is what Navid does for ex he creates the duel with normal settings (then leaves whenever a high rank joins but that's another story).
u check the settings, they fine. Then he changes victory conditions and start game same second. You are confident cause u checked them in the lobby right?

Anyway I yet have to find someone come up with ONE single valid reason we still have capture neutral available for duels, who does that in a serious duel??? u want to play that narb setting, fine, make a 1v1 for christ sake !!!

Cheers

Duels are fought until one guy is defeated. And if a guy takes random neutral country, it's not like his enemy is being defeated to be honest. That's why I want this shit option removed. Make capture neutral country victory condition completely unavailable in duels, please.

read the settings and remember who not to play with

You are an ignorant one, scroll up and read Kraiggs post...

then consider that there are over 100,000 account on AW... we can't enemy list all of them or remember why we enemy listed those that deserve to be. Any one of them could be a farmer.

Also, joining game... no lobby... have 1 minute to pick a country before money deduction... hold has been taken off so cant read them after selecting country or strategy, so you have to decide how to play and read all the game settings within 1 minute.... think about this now before respodning to the next question.

Is 1 minute really an adequate amount of time to select a country, select a strategy and then read game settings? It's a bit close to the mark don't you think?

It's also not practical for players to read all game settings, or particularly enjoyable. if the game is going to grow it needs to address these issues adequately to improve user experience.

yes

OK gents; points have been made.
This guy had no good intentions with the settings and Phoenix didn't take all necessary precautions to prevent falling into this "trap". There was also an aggravated situation: no lobby time and, thus, no settings warning.

Sorry to say: Phoenix, you were an accomplice of a scam. Nothing we can do for now.

Yep, it had been proposed to have advanced features to enemy lists, so one could remember why a specific player was enemy listed.

this is not true i did the same thing on a clan war to payback for them ghosting low ranks with high ranks and ivan just removed the game
it would be nice if admins followed their own rules

Assuming there is no difference between CW and Duel, you make a point.
Not a "rule" but rather an interpretation, which depends on the circumstances.
