Hello, just wondering what the thinking is on letting players set their own difficulty in multiplayer. I've been in a couple games where this because a point of contention between players...
Personally, I appreciate that option. Played a couple multiplayers last night - one with someone who has been playing for quite a while. He chose the most difficult setting, based on his experience and wanting a challenge. Obviously, this requires honesty on the part of the players...something which should be encouraged.
I'd prefer the setting to stay. I also agree with Midas - MANY games incorporate this part of the gameplay for multiplayer.
I think we just have to wait until the multiplayer features are added. Hopefully they include some form of ELO system for various formats. Until then, players will just have to be honest, or get kicked. In the prototype phase, it was hard to balance the difficulty in a 1 off game. Took several tries before finding a fair handicap against the same people.
Last night I was bad and went on the default difficulty the first game. Oops.
