erg down to 77 games!!!! Dont think im going to renew if this doesnt change when its up. I just as soon have 4 games as 77. I dont think paying customers should have to play 1vs1's in order to have 100+ games going.

I can get almost 40 games going with only 5 or 6 in my waiting games at a time.. I dont know what your problem is. If I started 50 games over and over again, I could probably reach 3-400 before my active game count slowed down... What kind of games are you playing?

I just searched public dubs waiting for players. 382 on 4 pages.

5 player standard - 147 games.

You want 100 games going and can't get em? ok.

50 pending game limit is more than enough.

maybe I should say I want over 100 singles games that are not 1vs1.

and have at least a few settings I like

The thing is, back last summer, I could have as many games with as many different setings as I wanted. And now either there are not as many people or people are not playing as many games, I dunno but something.

To me the 50 game pending cap serves no purpose. This CC communtity is the most tell tale rat out atmosphere ive seen. Thee is no way someone is going to be able to cheat more with 75 pending games over 50 pending games.


50 is just a limit that:
1) makes no sense
2) easy to change
3) doesnt cater to the people that pay the server/admin bills (paying customers)


Instead of all the people on this thread telling me what kind of games I SHOULD join, why cannot anyone give me a reason there is a 50 pending cap in the first place?

I just searched your settings buddy.... How in the hell does me joining a 5 player match with 2 ppl signed up make more games happen??? ! :S
Its the waiting for a room to fill up time that is the problem.

Lets try this.... Offer real solutions to real problems or explain how a suggestion isnt needed. Or gtfo

let me add on to that, because your post really pisses me off ....

I just did that magic 5 game search again....

I was ABLE TO JOIN ONE FUCKING GAME out of 145 that needed one player. The rest were researved or needed 3 players. THE ONE GAME I did join, is no spoils against a bunch of noobs, which I hate because in no spoils they like to make deals and pacts after round 3.

I joined it anyway because im desperate.


Any more Idears there jeff??? thanx for the help

You are touchy little one aren't you.

With all those games you looked at not filled up HOW DO YOU EXPECT YOURS TO FILL UP.

50 games limit does relate directly to serv space etc...

Nice chatting with ya. But I bet if you look a little harder you can have yourself 100 games going.

Postby army of nobunaga on Sat Apr 03, 2010 3:40 pm

im not JSUT WAITING FOR MINE TO FILL UP!!!!

I Have pending games from all types make ups and people. I bet I even looked at your doubles list, you FAILED to mention that there are 3 games taht I could join with a partner and start right away.

Why didnt you mention that????

But hell, says I... I go to call outs and see If anyone wants to join doubles games with me, because a few are better than none.

the 50 game limit makes no sense. If you pay a fee, and are told you can play as many games as you want. Then I guess It should be like when I first started CC, you really could get as many games as you could handle. But now a days, I have to "But I bet if you look a little harder you can find yourself 100 games to join."

To play bascially you are saying I should play any game I can possible find, and be happy about it.

You offer no solution to a suggestion I put forth. You got on the thread with bad information (yes I did the same searches as you and there are a total of 4 or 5 games I could join and it start (one in which I did even though it will suck)) and then you say its just my problem.


Well thanx for the help. Your contribution to this thread was immeasurable.

Do you play tournaments or leagues? They could increase your active games a bit without affecting your pending games. I know the Map Blaster tournaments used to play every map at once, but I'm not sure if MB is still being run...

Edit: Try this one: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=112230

DISCLAIMER: This tournament will require you to play 54 games at once, up to 180 games played in the first round. Premiums ONLY.

the problem with tourneys (for you) is that most of them are 1v1
there are some multiplayer, but certainly over half are 1v1

yeah I know. But maybe I need to learn how to play 1vs1... they are not that much fun for me. But I said it earlier, Ill take what I can get at this point.


I also could try getting a job. that would probably cure this problem too =D

Postby jrh_cardinal on Sat Apr 03, 2010 5:13 pm

1v1 is not really that hard, its a lot like 2v2 (or 3v3 or 4v4) where you only have 1 opponent, you can be more relentless in your attacking because you only have to beat one person. It's a delicate balance between relentlessness and overextending yourself, just like multiplayer, but you edge closer to relentlessness

and yes, getting a job is generally a good idea :)

okay, not saying you're wrong or that this is a bad idea or anything like that, but you haven't been joining these games much recently, you were joining over 1000 1v1's then trying to take all of your turns

maybe I'm wrong, but if you really have 50 pending games at all times, you should be able to get up to at least 125-150 games before your game count levels off, even with all 8 player games

If the limit was raised up, There would have to be a way to code it to exclude Speed Games

Alright, i'll add my 2 cents again.

The reason this is in place, is to stop Point Dumpers. But what i noticed, is that a majority of the Point Dumping cases, are done via Speed games. NOT Casual. Now, one thing i noticed, say you do get up to the pending limit of 50. One thing I noticed, is that you actually can't join anymore games. I remember getting to 50, and tried joining a 1v1. But it didn't let me, saying that i had my pending limit. I don't know if this is still the case, but this was a major inconvenience. I think raising the limit up to 75 or 100 would be nice. BUT i still think that This should be limited to CASUAL only, and NOT Speed games.

I understand the point dumping thing... but dont you think that we might notice someone point dumping in 100 games regardless of the limit?

Im just asking for a small increase. Atm I have under 90 games.. .and that is crazy.. My goal is 150ish active games. I think just a slight bump in pending may help and not really hurt anything. Plus its like super duper duper easy to impliment.

I think CC has enough checks and balances to catch point dumpers regardless of the pending games. If someone is gonna point dump they will do 1vs1 anyway.. and those fill up so fast that pending game limit is never even an issue.

I like the idea, don't get me wrong. And yes, most point dumpers do it via 1v1. I believe that increasing the game limit is a good thing. It gives users, like you, and whoever gets up to the 50 pending limit, more freedom. And this will increase the amount of active games. And if they like to play a wide variety, or pull off something, like "I want to play a game on every single map at once", it gives them a better chance to pull it off

well dont get me wrong.. I realize in the grand scheme of things this is a trivial improvement ... If it doesnt happen thats cool, ill not throw a fit.. But lol, im gonna keep bumping it every few months.

I just never understood the limit.. We pay to play. That should have reasonable limits. And maybe 50 is reasonable to most ppl. It just makes 8 man esc specialists like me really struggling to keep games up. 8 man rooms are not so easy to fill or find.

CC is such a great relative value to any and all other sites out there that there is absolutely no real need for this at all. There are always hundreds of games waiting to be joined, and one simply can play an unlimited amount. The limit does far more good than harm. It even helps prevent against someone accidentally making more games than they can possibly handle.

you and opthers always preach this to me... but maybe I need you to log into my account... you need my password?

just a thought.

Its like if you were a smoker... and you started a petition to smoke in public parks in a city this is outlawed in.. Im not in that city, but I get in that petition and tell everyone that Im against it because as a non smoker I dont think you should. Well its really non of my fucking business because it really doesnt effect me does it?

AoN please stay on topic. This post is borderline passive/agressive.

I think the 50 games waiting limit is fine and I see no need to change it.
