sounds better, mostly because keeping the medals exponential after diamond is ridiculous, we're talking about unique kills here and the more you have the more you will struggle. not to mention that a lot of players foe people when they medal hunt, foe lists for medal hunting could just turn out to be ridiculously high and games really hard to join.


foe is an option for medal hunters to use,
i am not fan of doing it that way but there is no other way to get there...
maybe, something can be done at creation on games, say there is a field once checked/activated, then these games can not be joined by players i already have unique defeats on. This means definition of a new foe list, to be used on medal hunting purposes only. And with this option, you will click/choose games while creating games, this way player is not blocking other players to join in all games but only games he means to medal hunt only.

how will the button know what you are medal hunting for?

say i have defeated you in fog but not trench. how will the button know if i want you to join so i can get trench or not join because i am going for fog?


that button is not neccesaily need to know what medals i am hunting,
i will decide it though, will make some portion of my games clicked/checked to be medal hunting games with the button, so my foes will not be able to join in these games. At this point, foe option should have two levels, medal foe, and full foe. Full foe can not join in any of your games, while medal foes can join unchecked games but can not in checked games. Since it is you creating games, you can pick which games are medal hunting games u r creating.

wouldnt this primarily be abused tho? and used to take advantage of new players by avoiding old ones...

I just had a thought about the medals. The next step up should be platinum rather than diamond.

The system used in say music albums sales goes from gold to platinum (1million copies) to diamond (10 million copies)

It's just something to think about in case you were ever thinking of adding another tier down the line.

thanks for responding but you completely missed the point.

the list of players we have defeated for each medal is different and each game we play involves several possible medals.

a button that blocks people we have a defeat against won't know if it should let them in because we are hunting Trench and haven't defeated them on that yet or if we are hunting Speed which we already have defeated them on.

the button would be a blanket block against all players without knowing which of Speed, Standard Nuke, Trench, FoW we are hunting for in a game of that type.

To everyone who's new to this site and don't know how things work, this thread is an excellent guide to how updates works on conquerclub. Some update is promised, time ticks away and nothing happens, users start getting needy, more promises are made and eventually followed by an apology, a couple of more months ticks away, and then either something actually gets uploaded or you'll get another apology followed by another promise.

I think that maybe it is displaying correctly on their wall, but not in the forums. in the forums they appear back to bronze.

true! if I look at his wall (therev1957) it's displayed in platinum; in formus (where he bragged about it) it's seen as bronze.
I know I should get 3 and I don't have them yet (or maybe I need to finish a game for an update)

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this already, but the new medals are listed as "Platinum", but when you click the medal description on the player profile, it says "Met requirements for Diamond"

Since you're plastering the site with ads now, does that mean you'll finally devote some resources to make the site usable?

Half the time the site won't load and when it does each turn is a series of "Communication errors" and constant refreshing. That really takes all the fun out of it. I don't have this problem anywhere else - just CC. Every time I think about renewing my premium again I remember how little I enjoy playing here anymore.

sometimes when there is an update, like there was today, there are bumps in the road. i'm sure they are sorting it out.
