This would do the following: 💠allow us to fully prove out a ranking system 💠keep queue times short despite matching skill 💠gives players a way to play for just a few minutes 💠possible format that would work on mobile???
@RabidM0ngoose Best of 5 would almost double the queue time I think, but 5 rounds was my initial thought too. I could see both ways being good though.
@troy_carlson LOL 😂
@JMarGameDesign It got to the point where I kept adding painfully detailed logging between each line of code that could possibly be troublesome. When I switched that line over to TryParse, I was able to see that our player from Quebec was failing the parse that was passing for me locally 😣
@JakeIsDev In my first reply to the tweet, it would have defaulted to a different CultureInfo value. The input string remains the same, except it actually works in other regions now.
@XypherOrion Thanks dude 😊 you're always seeing the positives for others and I appreciate you.
@mrhands31 😭😭😭 this makes me glad I know that the input value will always be formatted with a single period
@EntranceJew LOL well let's hope it doesn't come to that. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to reproduce someone's issue just because of locale
Fun fact! MageQuit had a bug that made the online mode inaccessible due to decimal.Parse silently failing BASED ON REGION. e.g. In Quebec, decimal.Parse will fail to parse "1234.567" because it's expecting a comma, not a period. This was so hard to track down and I'm so upset.
inb4 "use decimal.TryParse", this is what I have now decimal.TryParse(response["time"], NumberStyles.Number, CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US"), out result);
@EntranceJew Hmmm, interesting -- I'm hoping what I have now is good. I know that the decimal coming from the matchmaker will always be US format, so as long as I'm super explicit about it, I should be good??
@flyover_games Yaaassss FMA reference I'm sold
@LoptrLab @DarkaysTG @heyglitch @Xbox @ID_Xbox @nicolaasvm @EvvaKarr @hollharris @hushion_r @magequitgame First of all, congrats @DarkaysTG! I guess I just have 3 things but probably too late to be relevant lol 1. Make sure you have your store page through Xbox cert before launch day 2. Don't hire a flat-rate PR agency 3. DON'T RELEASE IN OCTOBER 😭 Best of luck in your launch!

Online tournaments are PC-only until we can figure out how to run them 100% in-game :( (sorry @SceneKidSanta)
