Is there any plans for a player directory in game?

[roirraw]

Kind of like coh2-stats, where you can search every player that has played the game and their ranked/unranked stats? It would be nice to see how many games people have played without having to wait for the end of a game to see just the people you have played with.

Like the leader board?

 

[roirraw]

Yeah, but one that tracks all of the stats.

 

[Gilmund]

Yeah or something to avoid the who-makes-games-awful-people.
All my last pickups were just absolutely garbage...
Take your pick between the guy who doesn't deploy, the guy who deploys but leaves half his side empty, the within-5-min-leaver, the plane player bit no ground troops...

I like the players who deploy on the ground beside the road all bunched up. When in deployment phase I point this out to them and they basically say "I know what im doing." They are usually the first to leave.....

I'm not trying to alienate a player base or direct rage towards a group of people. It would just be nice to see who has played more total games, who has the highest win rate, who's played axis every time, who only plays 10v10s and these sort of stats. Maybe how many times they have surrendered, lost, dropped.

The problem with this kind of feature is that generally lead to kick "bad" or "too good for me" players, like RD, which is very frustrating for these palyers. Instead of the OP proposal, I support the idea to see only the player rank, like WEE.

I'd feel fine with a ban button allowing me to avoid them in any game they are.

Like i just met a guy named "Adolf Hitler", 18% win/loose ratio, playing arty/planes in ground conquest, and i'd say purposely choosing not to play the game.

This community is small enough already to know who you are playing with, even if you can't see the stats.

The whole thing is calling this "playing" You play when your try to follow the rules of a game.
I've no trouble with any guy doing its best. Just wanna avoid the big wannabees.

 

[Aeon221]

If you want to see in lobby, no. Join matchmaker.

 

[Apolyon]

@Gilmund I understand your point. However I don't think that exercise elitism in custom lobby is a good solution for the player base. Everyone want win and everyone is the cancer-player of another. The only thing that the in-lobbies "ban due to stats" solution could bring is: playerbase = 0. However, a ban button could be helpfull for 5-sec-joiner/leavers => This is really annoying.

I tend not to matchmake cause you do not choose your teammates nor your map. It's even worse. And i'm a bit unlucky these days with my teammates.
Of course there is 1vs1 but whatever...

Obviously i'll leave any public lobby i see them into anyway.
There are names i don't wanna play with, it is not because i lost with them, it is because they havn't played anything!

The other side of that is the 'I don't want to play against you because you are too good' droppers. That was a complaint in Wargame. (Not that I ever had that problem )

 

[roirraw]

Well, we're kind of at this point now where the community is small enough that after about 50 games you've played with everyone at least once or more. Wargame had a lot of people for awhile, like 2000 ish, so when you joined a game it was common to see a few people you knew and a lot you didn't. Being able to check peoples stats in the game lobby did, in my opinion, lead to this type of kick/ban from a lobby. As of now though, with SD, it's pretty easy to know who rage quits, who leaves when they don't get the team they want or those who don't want to play with certain people.

I don't think there is anyway to get around this without dedicated matchmaking that takes the control out of the players hands.

Being able to see player stats isn't a big deal if it's outside the game lobby you are waiting to play in. I think that's some good separation. Right now we can see it at the end of the game, so if you care enough to look, you will find out. I think it's the same situation where if you have to go looking because you lost, or someone didn't know what they were doing and you see they have a 20% win rate over 200 games; most likely going to remove that person from your game next time. Some people will try and help these guys out, but overall it's just easier to make room for a better player to fight against/with.
