Declined Suggestion: Stop trying to get quickplay people

[Arya]

Changes have been made to skial servers lately just to try and get people from quickplay. while indeed it isnt a bad idea, the way its being handle is horrible. What point is it to try and gain advantage of a system that very few use in the first place, t the cost of regulars either leaving or throwing tissy fits about how bad skial is. It honestly seems like the detrients outway the benefits here and skial should of just worked with what it has. More effort could be put into expanding our playerbase through advertising, expanding more into other games such as counter strike and some of the survival games that run servers, instead if wasting time trying to get just a few quick play people

I have a hard time arguing with pie charts. I say we follow this suggestion.

 

[Renegade]

Expanding into other games wouldn't be a bad idea. HOWEVER, you haven't shown any proof that Skial has had a drop in players because of the new workings. So... I don't think you really know what you're talking about...

 

[Antamania]

Yeah, I'm curious to see this research too. Unless you've been playing jailbreak and Dota for over 24 hours, I don't see why it hasn't already been posted.

I don't personally belief such proof exists, but if you're going to make a thread like this claiming proof, please atleast have it ready to show.

 

[Blade D_Hero]

This thread is like the Cold War, you keep saying you have shit yet you have yet to prove anything.

Literally Stalin. I expect more excuses well into the year 2028.

I can't get copy and past to work on skial. I've been trying all night to fix it but it's never worked for me. Even on my computer. I can type it out by hand but then you'll have to copy and paste into your url and stuff. If you want me to do that I can

Still waiting on the charts and graphs

I think we can manage that hard task.

Just admit it. You were wrong. Don't dig a deeper hole, chief.

Spoiler: bonus

I'm actually being serious here. Everytime I copy paste on skial all that shows is one space

 

[Arya]

Not at all cause jb and vsh and dr aren't affected by any of the changes so far

 

[KinCryos]

to be fair, I can't get copy+paste to work if the cursor's between two tags. for example: I have to paste first, then put quote tags around it

Well I don't have a cursor on my phone and I wouldn't be putting it into a quote section anyways

by cursor, I meant the blinking bar that tells you where new text will be placed.

I forgot you were posting from your phone anyway. I certainly didn't expect one to be able to copy+paste

Bottiger the point is that because of valves changes, and the high possibility of even with petitions and emails to valve changing nothing in communties favor , then to keep the community alive and going, more time should be spent expanding the community into other areas, instead of putting so much effort into a system that is likely to change even more. What happens the next time valve changes qyickplay settings? Is skial going to do make no scrambling? Or some other thing that quickplay might require to change? What happens when skial starts losing more people then gain due to changes?

Does anyone else see the problem here? This is why Valve does nothing if this is what the average TF2 player is like.

I mean seriously, there is message spammed on every server every 20 seconds linking you to a page telling you the exact opposite, and I just gave you a summary of it and you keep ignoring it all.

I would love to ignore whatever Valve does to change the game, but the reality is that they control TF2, and ignoring 1/3rd of all players and 99% of new players is a sure way to shut down.

 

[Cowboy Crow]

This suggestion is stupid.

I read the links and what youve posted. First of all, you could say it a lot more plainly. It's probably why you have to keep repeating your to most people. The point is that the changes change the who plays on the servers. Your trying to reduce the losses from the lack of quickplay people coming in, but by changing the way people play your changing who plays. There will be a drop off of regulars as changes are made to overcome that deficit of loss of quickplay people. Most important though nowhere do you explicitly state that the changes made are not to fit into quickplay. The way you've been stating it makes it seem the opposite, so don't get upset when people keep saying that. It's your own fault for not just saying it. Now that's cleared up, we can get back to the points that matter

I couldnt read your chart. Do you have a more high res version?
