Good day, I am interested in the development of HeroesWorld specifically as a gaming resource, so all my proposals are aimed precisely at this:
1. It needs to be ensured that HeroesWorld does not hang for several days at a time. We all remember when it hung for several days in a row, worked for half a day, and then hung again. This was a disaster, because it's one thing if a spammer doesn't write another piece of nonsense during that time, but quite another when tournament deadlines were missed and games were postponed due to the unavailability of necessary and important information.
2. An automated rating calculation system needs to be implemented, and this primarily concerns online games — this is truly important!
3. The long-suffering Grail system needs to be finally introduced to stimulate players to be more active in tournaments, since I am not the only one who has noticed a decline in player activity recently, caused by stagnation and a lack of progress.
Next, about the DB. This has already been discussed with the Creator. The current DB balancing percentage is very high, and because this function is now used much less frequently with the new DB system, automatic balancing mercilessly lowers the DB. Essentially, the longer a person stays on the forum, the more their DB drops, especially for owners of 4-5 feathered creatures.
Next, regarding the HeroesWorld team: I don't quite understand how there can be one person who will oversee the organization of all tournaments on HeroesWorld. Firstly, we have offline and online tournaments, and often a person who is a competent organizer of online tournaments is a complete zero in offline ones, and vice versa. The same applies to the versions of Heroes. It's clear that for each section, you can have an assistant responsible specifically for tournaments in certain Heroes versions, but how will the coordinator control the assistant if they don't understand the specific version of Heroes? Finding a person who is equally well-versed in all Heroes, understands the specifics of organizing tournaments, and can gauge the mood of the forum members to understand which competition is most relevant for them at the moment is difficult. And actually, why is this controller needed at all if the assistants will be specialists in their fields?
Summary on this point:
For tournaments, you need not one person, but 10 positions (Heroes 1 offline, online; Heroes 2 offline, online; ... and so on). These people alone will have the right to conduct official tournaments; all others will be fun tournaments. If you think 10 coordinators is a lot, then let them not be called coordinators, but, for example, tournament curator *followed by tournament version*. If, for instance, a large-scale event like the WC, or the inter-Russian tournament with HeroesPortal that is currently brewing, is planned, then a coordination council of curators is convened where they decide what's what.
Also, about the library: I would add a map section there. As it currently exists as a separate topic, that is good, but only for posting maps. Verified maps should be sent to a special section (probably better for it to be in the files). This way, we will attract new users, and it's generally the right thing to do.
So, we won't even talk about the chat...
Well, I think that's all from me. I won't talk about visual enhancements and emoticons; IMHO, that's a secondary concern.
I understand that it's impossible to delve into everything, understand all the aspects, and account for everything all at once, so if anything, ping me on ICQ or write to me in PM, and I'll help however I can.
