Is it just me that thinks it's very odd that even with membership you can't make games with specific settings until you have leveled up?

My old member accounts that were grandfathered can still do so, so I hadn't realized till I just purchased membership for this account that it still can't create strategic 1v1 games that are RT and have pre-reqs because it can't make games with the OP or Delay Cards due to not being level 40.

Yes, I know, I'm level 39, I can hit 40 quickly, but that's not the point, it just seems silly for any member to be unable to do something as simple as create RT 1v1 games that have pre-reqs, especially since doing so is the #1 best way to get better at s1v1 (autogames are rarely thought-provoking games, I'm by no means a great s1v1 player, yet I can win roughly 95% of all autogame matches).

you can win 95 out of 100 1v1 games? I really doubt anyone on this site can, i'd say i'm around 75-80%. And yes I agree with you, members should have instant access to all features regardless of access.

I think he made that statement just to make a strong point Pulsey :)



Cheerio!

I'd bet 95% is closer to accurate than 75-80% would be.

I've won 64% of my ladder games so far, against opponents averaging 1792 rating. You won 77% vs. average of 1725 on your most recent ladder run. Most random autogame opponents would be the equivalent of sub-1400 ladder opponents, there's no way you'd lose 1 in 5 autogames.

wait.... buying membership doesn't unlock everything? O.o

only if the account is grandfathered, so created before then WL 2.0

haha :) is this a privilege for players who were already playing before WL 2.0? very interesting

I think there needs to be more member benefits in general (grandfathered or not), as many have said in many threads on here. With people having access to basically everything members do through the level system, it greatly cheapens the value of the membership. I am glad I have had it all this time, but it would be nice to see some new benefits as well.

You just can't have maximal features for everyone and an incentive to buy a membership at the same time can you?

that's his point, genius. maximal features for members only would be an incentive to buy the membership

Think before you write, cute girl. Fizzer isn't doing this for money. Memberships and ads only serve the purpose of keeping the game up and running, not the other way around.

"You just can't have maximal features for everyone and an incentive to buy a membership at the same time can you?"

I have no issues with non-members getting access to everything members do, I just don't think members should need to levels to unlock anything. Especially not the ability to create strat 1v1 games that are RT or have pre-reqs.

agree

This is what membership currently unlocks: http://warlight.net/Membership I don't think people realize all the features(extra vacation, More open games @Chris).

As for leveling up to get certain settings etc, I think that is intended to tech new players about the game and different settings. Letting members unlock it would undermine that point (besides it is easily unlocked anyway>not exactly a good incentive to buy membership).
