Update 3We have been working for half a year, since then the main goal was to collect constructive criticism of the platform's work, what to improve, modify, develop, so that the user received a quality product. To motivate players to participate in product testing, tournaments and promos with prizes ranging from $500 to $ 2000 were held, during this time 520 people registered on the platform. People from completely different target audiences, and different levels of the game participated in CS: GO. Due to this we received criticism from different points of view, both beginners and professionals, it has become
clear what both of them need.
Rank systemAbove all, it is important to introduce rank system, and distribute players depending on the level of the game in the corresponding leagues. It excludes the options when a weak player hits a strong one and starts to lose interest in the game, since there’s little chance to win. During the work of Betta many newcomers were registered, having participated several times in tournaments playing with strong players, they understood that there was no sense in continuing to play, and they stopped be active in the game. Having sorted the users according to the level of the game, their involvement and competitive effect will grow and the activity on the platform will accordingly increase.
Anti-cheats + GO TVNext, it is necessary to install anti-cheats on the platform to quickly identify the player with an unfair game and put him on the blacklist. During the work of Betta, tournaments were held regularly (the basis of our marketing), we did not save on the prize money, which led to the desire of the players to use the codes for an easy victory in the tournament. Generally, cheating is one of the main problems that do not allow e-Sports to develop properly. Having explored the problem, we realized that the most effective solution at the moment is to integrate paid anti-cheat with continuous updating, and control of the players by platform administrators, through watching demo players. To do this, we will use GO TV, which will automatically record the user's demo game. The recording will be available right after the match, opponents and admins will have the opportunity to download the demo and explore the game. The recording will be automatically saved on the game server.
New game modes and mapsEverything is simple and easy: the more cards and modes the more interesting and fun, the variety and choice are always important. Correspondingly, modes 2x2, 3x3, 5x5 + new maps will be necessarily included in Update 3,(5x5 mode: Dust II, Cache, Nuke, Mirage, Train, Overpass, Cobblestone, Inferno; 2x2 mode: Shorttrain, Shortdust, St. Marc, Safehouse, Lake, Bank; 1x1 mode: aim_map2_go, aim_stw_ak47_m4a1, aim_1v1_usp, aim_map, awp_india, aim_usp) if there are still interesting locations that we did not include in the list, write to us, and we will add.
ServerAfter the release of Update 3, we are going to actively promote, develop, advertise the platform, there will be more registrations and activity, respectively, the load on the server will grow, we need to prepare the platform. We will solve this problem by moving to a more powerful server and changing the algorithm of platform interaction with game servers. We can carry the load of 500 or more games at a time.
Calculation moduleNetwork Ether constantly releases updating, unfortunately this is not the case when the updating is simply automatically installed and everything works as before, in our case it is necessary to integrate the updating into the calculation module, which takes more time and money. We just need to prepare the system for the new modes, prescribe new algorithms. The calculation module is very important and should work without delays and errors. Many players who did not know what a crypto currency was, they were interested in the project because of this, as they realized in practice the advantage of this system.
There is much work on Update 3, the implementation will take 2 months, and approximate release date is November 1, 2017. At the time of development, all tournaments and promos will be canceled. At this stage, the product is not ready for mass use, and spending money on tournaments in 1x1 mode is not effective. The platform will be available in beta mode, you can play with friends or search for rivals on this forum or in
Telegram channel. After the release of Update 3, the product will be ready for active PR, we will launch regular tournaments for players of different ranks, there will also be a promo for beginners, and referral programs. Thank you all for your activity and criticism, thanks to you we now know the way to move further in order to create a quality product and in the future to attract the attention of many e-Sports lovers.
