I would like to see a matchmaking/auto team balancing system. It would move better players to other team to avoid stacking. Not sure how to make this, or what to use it for... Im sure I'll think of something.

What is the point of using opera anyways?

Actually, there is a multiplier version of this game. Each player starts at opposite corners and whoever captures the most of the grid wins.

Idea:
Lets strip minis down to the bone and divide them into there basic parts. Then, each element of a minigame can be tested individually to see how a player performs on each task, showing their strengths and weaknesses in each basic element.

For example, lets use a somewhat complex mini that involves climbing a hook jump, then completing two long jumps that require significant momentum to clear. In this mini, falling at any point will result in a death (I'll add a picture later for clarification). Now, this somewhat complex mini can be divided into 2 parts: the hook jump, and the long jump, both of which are equally important.

Now lets backtrack a bit. Lets say a world was created that tested this player in each of these basic elements, rating their performance on each and determined which they were best and worst at. Using this example data, the example player showed to excel at hook jumps, completing then quickly and with few errors. However, the player lacked in the ability to complete long jumps, often mistimeing jumps and dieing many times, as well as taking considerably longer time to complete then the average player.

Using this knowledge, we can expect the player to MOST LIKELY easily complete the hook jump, but fail at the long jump element of mini. We can also expect the difficulty of the entire mini FOR THIS PLAYER to be about average, because it involves elements that he is both good and bad at.

Now, lets say another player is also attempting this mini. This new player just started playing EE and lacks in both hook jump and long jump skills. Because of this, the mini is likely to be very difficult for this new player.

Finally, a very experienced player joins the room, excelling at both required elements. The difficulty of the mini for this user is likely to be very easy.

As you can see, using this we can estimate how each player would perform on almost any mini depending on the elements that make up the mini, assuming he has completed the element skills test.

We can also determine average difficulty. By averaging every players scores in each element, it would give a rough estimate of which element is most difficult to the community as a whole. We would be able to rank each element in difficulty and estimate how challenging a complex mini with many parts would be to the average EE user.

This system does have its problems, however, because elements can vary in difficulty. For example, 1 hook is much easier to complete than 5 stacked on top of each other. This would have to be taken into consideration when a minis difficulty is determined, either for an individual player or the entire community.

Well, thats the end of my novel. Once again I'd love to help develop a system like this if someone is actually going to.

Eh... Maybe
But this is more about skill in completing minigames, not creating worlds (but I like the idea of seeing who creates the bests worlds as well). Plus the winner would most likely be "woot for edit" worlds, so plays might be a better stat to use for that purpose.

I had no idea the EE community was so diverse. Amazing!

Interesting topic. Ive never really thought about it. You would have to group together a bunch of different minis and see what percent of players could complete each. You could then rank the minis based on percentage of players who completed it.

However, I think the order of the minis should be left up to the player, or give them the ability to skip the mini with points deducted, in order to get more complete results.

Another factor to consider is time. Should there be a time limit for each mini, so that the player must complete it before the limit is reached, or they get points deducted? Or should it be unlimited?

Finally, should the minis be grouped by type or by the type of skills required to complete it? For example, one mini could have an obvious route to solve it, and only requires quick reaction time and skill. While another mini could have a more complex or somewhat hidden route, or even many possible routes to complete it. This mini would require skill AND puzzle solving skills. Should these skills be rated individually?

Id like to see some sort of system for this, and would be happy to help develop it!

I would just like to thank you toop for the work you put into fixing these. So when will they actually be added into the game?

Ive been doing it wrong this whole time...

I loved this xD

People think its funny to make fun of new players and make them "pay there dues". Its terrible. Most of those "noobs" are much better people then anyone here, including me. If people would take 2 minutes to help build with new players or give them tips(without telling them they suck) EE would grow and be a much nicer community.
