Maybe its the time im getting online or i dunno but....Lately it seems that many of the “treaty elite” have stopped playing as much. Clans of good players (TKC, LFV, TGR, TRT etc etc) have seen either their high rankers move on to other games or go down to playing 1 game a week. This presents a special quagmire for all high ranking players because now there are fewer games that we can play. Why is this? Well this exist because as less high rankers play, it gets harder and harder for us to get games because most players PR 26 and down will kick anybody with a PR above 32. They claim we are “to high” to play. So what is one to do when he sign’s on and all the treaty games are being hosted by low ranked players who are afraid to play with higher ranked players…. Never has proton ever had a smurf account but it seems that’s all there is left to do these days as more and more of the elite guard move on.

OOPS for the lingo , anyways this threads for good players what u girls doing here?? run along and play your nr55's

I am no longer pr 31+. didnt play for 2 months on that account and now have lost some games. However.  Do you guys (proton) ever play any map besides Andes?  Fact is alot of captains  play alot of regualr maps and will play high ranks if the game isnt just decided on what team controls the natives . Used to be all the good players couldnt play without fir trade on their team. Now  they cant play without spamm fest andes map or natives.  I will play any game or map (like your team owned me the other day)  but if you all opened up your game some then you might get more games or people to play. Believe it or not, not all people like to play just andes map.

Also if you wanna play verse captains and you are clearly a good player, you may have to give the underranked team a civ advantage to wanna play, it suks  but a game is a game.  However most games i play with your clan or friends  and they are clearly better then other team they still have to have either equal or better civ match up. If your skill is clearly better then others like mine, then they dont wanna be beat by civ as well. Just saying if you want to have more games and have captains play since that is wat there is most of you; you and your  team will have to open up a little and maybe not play same civs or same map every time.

been there done that... everybody knows i HATE (with extreme passion) the andes map. But what alternative is there... Deccan or Orinoco? look  on eso right now... 9 treaty games... 2 andes... 6 orinoco and 1 deccan... WUT?!? 

 

And as far as giving advantage I let THEM choose my civ and let them play whatever civ they want... so that cant be the solution... in fact all noobs say the same thing.. "you guys are good with whatever civ you choose" Again.. ask around... i rarely lame the same civ over and over... i play different civs each time i play... i just think its like alan said where basically this game is dieing... and the noobs here dont understand rank anymore...

 

i mean what happened to the days of being honored to face a higher rank... when i was captain i used to have to beg my way into high rank games because when ur lower you have nothing to loose... if you win you get points... if you loose to somebody higher then you, you really dont have to many taken away

Well defenetly not talking about Orinco map. lol. But yea used to be that level 30+ would boot captains bc they too low. Now  captains wanna play verse liets. Most people now days want a sure win. The really good players like you still play but that is when?? not very often. I was level 34 like 2 months ago. Never could get a game and I am not even that good just play with good team alot, besides lately. So... let it decay.  but you couldnt let yours decay bc everyone knows your name anyways. You are screwed either way.

I am certainly not 31+ and probably never will be...but I would love it if I could log in and play some higher ranks and then have them actually teach me what I was doing wrong...maybe even some coaching along the way.  It would also be great to play with a high ranked team mate against another high rank and maybe someone of my rank (1st lt). 

Contrary to what you guys have said, every time I try something like that I get kicked out and they say I am too low ranked.

Proton, don't know if you care or would be interested...but you and another high ranker could hold some training sessions.  Maybe post on here that you'll be online at a certain time, you create a game with a specific name, and some people can come and join.  If anything, you might get improved players to go against.  This could be tough with time-zone diffs though :-(. 

If you don't want training sessions for noobs, then maybe you can start some thread posting when you'll be online and higher ranked players can all try to coordinate (maybe there is something already like that, dunno).

I play too many strong players, which pushes down my rank .  Well, I remember who I've played that's good, and I'll play anyone.  I too wish that more high ranks logged on.  I suspect, however, that we'll see a revival with TFE.  I bet that will draw the interest of many, as well as bringing back several strong german players back who are working on it.

prob. have a better time joining an active clan that takes the time to train its members... talk to the dudes at GnRE... they might let you try out...  here in the wutang we are like cannibals.. the weak are eventually eaten..

sry proton I won't be playing till 23rd this month... but I will come back with style! (and hopefully 31+ :D)

This maybe true about higher rank treaty players but Treaty has pretty much officially taken over TAD so expert Supers in TAD probably have an even harder time finding games than you guys. Luckily there's a pretty strong Fan Patch community even if it's small.
