Ranked Gameplay?

Hi I'm DryProfit, I've been playing KAG for months now, only from time to time casually.

I love this game, EVERYTHING about it. I love how you can play as a front line soldier or just a back at home peasant, I just LOVE THIS F*CKING GAME!

Anyways, I checked the "Already Suggested" thread and I don't think this has been... suggested? (Lock and correct if I'm wrong, I might have missed it).

So, what if there was some sort of ladder/ranked/competitive system? Maybe 10 v 10 or 15 v 15 or 8 v 8 players against eachother in a game of CTF or TTHs.

Since this game is built on the foundation of teamwork, I think this would work well. There's already team roles (Fighters and Builders) , I find communication to be pretty easy since you can't be type killed if you're in a safe spot (Not to mention the neat Taunts/Communication buttons that I prefer to use).

So what do you think? Is this something you'd want? To play KAG with teammates for increased strategy other than "KEG EM KEG EM KEG EM!".

Thanks for reading - DryProfit

 

Something that could be like the matchmaking system in dota, that makes people commit to certain amount of time.

 

1. It's called Clan Wars.
2. This game is active sure, but not active enough for an actual tournament. Sundered Kingdom proved that.

 

It has existed in the past (KAG Gather) using an irc matchmaking bot, it was heaps of fun and worked well when it had enough players.

I believe someone is supposed to be working on bringing it back for release kag, not sure how that's going but you may get your wish soon enough.

 

If kag like 500 more dedicated players that would be awesome for an idea like this.
Score per round average: if the game could save your average score it could have server locks for higher ranks, that way only people who know what they are doing have access to certain servers. So you can play a competitive match and have a place to go with no scrubs.

 

I would like to see that on KAG.

I got the same idea before.
Gather kag is bad because we must use IRC to play at this system.

 

yea, using skype instead of irc would be so much better.

 

Ranking system is good in lol, cs, sc2.
This games have the best ranking system.

 

There should be competitive/ranked servers where you can get points in order to climb the rank board. There would be levels/ranks and if you earn enough point you 'level up'. An icon shows your current rank when you press TAB, and you can check the progress in the menu/settings. This is also a nice way to unlock new heads.

 

No in a servers. Better is a system in dota 2.
Ranked games 6vs6 and on small maps 4vs4.
Only be play on official kag maps.
And this idea with lvls and unlock heads is good.
(I know my english is bad)

 

KAG is not really a game that was ever aimed to be competitive. It's always been more of a "smash-their-faces-mash-buttons" thing. There's no really active healthy competitive scene and there's no 1 set competitive gamemode (kind of shame given the modding abilities) so devs never implemented anything like this.


We used to have gather but it fell apart.

 

I wouldn't mind this but, I don't see this happening considering that the KAG community isn't as big as other games that have a competitive game system.

 

Huh, I'd have to disagree. Mashing buttons obviously is the noob tactic, but anyone even a little better can use a few buttons to take them down. Almost every game has some sort of noob "Mash buttons" tactic, it's just that the tactic is easily put down.

Yeah, good point. But suggestions don't always mean "NOW, RIGHT NOW, IMPLEMENT THIS NOW!". Suggestions can take a year, or even two years to implement.

Let's say KAG grows alot in the next two years. Then what would hold back? Nothing really, haha.

 

Anyone remember the World Cup? It was fantastic...

 

Fully agreed. Also, I never like the rush for a better place in the rankings, the feeling I can't lose because it matters in some way. No, no, no. Also, the current community isn't the best for gather-like stuff.

I'd rather vote for "lets say it won't".

 

This game must have ranked games 6vs6 or 5 vs 5.

 

we called that kag gather.
