Very good topic and suggestion.

Could not agree more with all of the above points. The success of the ranked scene is Retoldâs best bet to get and retain players, and implementing the above changes would go a long way to making it not only comparable to other Age games, but to other games on the market.

Look at the first commenters and âhavenât commented in x monthsâ, surely a sign

See it, sort it then enjoy it.
An active competitive top is integral to a functioning community, I shouldnât have to go into whyâŠ
These are some very basic things that should already be here.
Lets get moving people!

100% with the suggestions that would help keeping the game fresh and alive

This idiotic suggestion will do nothing. People donât play AoM not because there are no fancy icons and crowns on the leaderboard, but because the game is unplayable.

Low brow response with no substantial commentary on the suggestion itself. Just a bitter player.

The dozens who have responded positively here on discord and reddit, the hundreds of active ranked players, and thousands of casual players beg to differâŠ

Right. Needs to be substantial cause for saying âitâs idioticâ in light of this reality.

Yeah, it has less players than even discontinued aoe3 de, this is the last dlc probably but they will support servers so thats cool I think, I just dont think its profitable enough for them.

That is possible, though itâs hard to know for sure what the actual budget/sales are considering how split it is across platforms, time will tell, and hopefully with changes like these it will help keep it going.

Great points! This would be refreshing and very cool feature to have! I would also like to see some rewards at the end of each season, based on your acomplishments, could be something as simple as changed god statues on tcâs for all i care, just give us something to strive for instead of just plain numbers we have right now! Cheers

Agreed, I think accents or different poses to the statues on TCs and temples would be an awesome way to go about it
critical bug fixes are far more important to get done before support potentially drops, as an aoe3 player i can assure you adding ranked seasons would solve nothing if the bugs and other more significant issues arenât patched, look at the state of aoe3 DE, ranked works sure, its a tad more refined compared to AOM as i donât think you guys have dedicated map pools like 2 and 3 do (feel free to correct me if iâm wrong on map pools), but when support dropped we were left with at least 2 gamebreaking exploits on italians alone and multiple serious bugs, like the last patch being a data patch meaning anyone new will have the wrong version of the game, and thus be locked out of PVP entirely, because WE couldnât be bothered to release a proper final patch, but thats far from the only bug that shouldâve been fixed and never was
long story short, devs, fix the critical bugs first and foremost, especially with likelyhood of aoe3 kind of support cut being a very real danger for AOM in months following japanâs release, if bugs ainât fixed then fancier ranked ladder changes nothing, ignoring that at least 80% of people never touch ranked as its too sweaty for most, so most people wouldnât even benefit from it
iâm not even against the idea of improved ladder, i may not gain much but iâm happy for folk that would, i just wanna make it clear to be careful with priorities

The post is about ranked improvement and is not advocating for neglecting general improvement/bugs. Itâs not an either/or, the false dichotomy is not only unwarranted but ultimately irrelevant to the OP.

i never said its either/or, its a priority thing, which you seemingly failed to comprehend
back on topic, outside of options OP listed above, which are all well and good, imo a proper reconnect, ranked and unranked, is needed badly, not just here but in all the games out currently, now i want to hear an original idea of what youâd like to see implemented, smt that would benefit your way of playing and be a net positive overall
so far you added little of value to that discussion
No, you went to an unrelated tangent as if it were either/or.
I agree with OPâs suggestions and have given input here and elsewhere on this topic. Thereâs need to deflect to compensate, just refocus on the topic at hand.
read first please, if you canât read word priority on that it ainât my problem
and its hardly unrelated, i just listed an example from this exact dev team and how their last game was left, i donât want such mess to repeat itself
