COH2.ORG Launches New Polls Feature & Fixes Ladders

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! To continue with the theme of continually updating the website until we rival the technological standard of the CIA, we have now added yet more features! We are also working on a feature to replace all of the humans with A.I. people, as they are a lot less hurtful to our feelings and make much less of a mess.


Back to reality, we've added the the option to include polls in your posts, meaning when creating a new topic, you can add a questionnaire with multiple different answers.



Janne252 has been toiling away from sunrise to sunrise in the COH2.ORG Centers for Advanced Forums Research in order to implement this much requested feature. He reports that users will now be able to:

• Create Polls
  
• Add Questions
  
• Add Options to Questions
  
• Sort Questions
  
• Sort Options
  
• Preview Polls
  
• Lock their own polls (Disable voting)
  

Polls can only be created while creating a new thread. If you have an existing thread that you feel really, really needs a poll, you can contact a senior moderator (blue level) or one of the Admins and they will add one for you, if you ask nicely of course.

You are not forced to vote for all questions in a poll. You will not see the poll results unless you have voted.



In collaboration with Relic, COH2.ORG was the first website in the world to show ladders and playercards for Company of Heroes 2, and COH2.ORG is the first website to update our Ladders system to function with the new Ladder API from Relic. We even beat the official site to the punch! You can now see all of the "Rank by Elo+" information that you could see previously, in the full page TOP200 lists, in the sidebar TOP10 widget, and in your individual playercards.

You may notice that in some modes, you have a "P" instead of a rank. This stands for "Provisional," and means that you have not yet played 10 games in that mode. After your 10th game, you will receive your numerical rank position. Thanks to Inverse for this timely update.



Fixing the Ladders and getting them back on-line was our first priority, but there is more to come. Relic's API is now providing much more information than it did previously. The most exciting aspect is that Relic is now offering up Arranged-Team (AT) stats, for when you enter a multiplayer game with one or more friend(s) as partner(s). 2v2AT, 3v3AT, and 4v4AT ranks are being recorded, and not just in one big sloppy pool. Stats are recorded separately for each different friend or set of friends with whom you play. These stats are being recorded currently, so play those AT matches and get a jump on the race for first place! Once we design and code a cool way to display these stats, you'll be able to see them on COH2.ORG. In addition to Arranged Team stats, Relic is recording stats for custom games, and compstomp stats vs. each variety of AI strength. We hope to display those stats too. At time of publication, we are not sure whether or not "Sort by Wins" functionality can be returned to the system, but we are looking into it.
