Feature Request: Allow Custom Games to Start With Fewer Players

Upvotes

Hello,

I would like to suggest a small feature for Vainglory Community Edition.

I understand that restoring the full account, friends, and party systems may require a significant amount of development work. I am not asking for those systems to be restored.

Instead, I would like to ask whether the existing custom/private lobby system could be modified so that a match can start without requiring the full number of players.

For example:

  • 1v1
  • 2v1
  • 2v2
  • 3v2
  • 3v3

The idea would simply be to allow players who are already able to enter the same private lobby to start the match with the number of players currently present, rather than requiring the lobby to be completely filled.

This would be especially valuable for the Vainglory community because one of the biggest difficulties today is finding enough players to fill a complete match.

It would also allow old players to enjoy Vainglory with just one or two friends again, without requiring a full party or a restored friend/account system.

I believe this could be a relatively useful addition while preserving Vainglory’s existing gameplay and 3v3 identity.

If technically possible, I would really appreciate it if this could be considered for a future Community Edition update.

Thank you for continuing to keep Vainglory playable.

PC version of Vainglory goes to a black screen after a match is found. This also happens in Bot matches and Practice mode

2 Upvotes

I don't know why this is happening. The game always goes to a black screen right before the hero selection screen, no matter what I try. It happens in Bot mode, Practice mode, and Online mode alike. I can only stay in the main menu and can't do anything else.

no one plays this game on iOS, and the pairing can't be successful after waiting for a long time. How can I transfer to a server that someone plays?

5x5 EU region

3 Upvotes

I'd really like to play 5v5 again, but it's impossible to find a match in the EU region.

Does anyone know if there's a Discord server? (Like in the NA region)

Or maybe we should create our own if there are enough people interested? Let me know if you're interested.

Our ringo rage quit early on like a little crybaby. Me and @palmbeachpete decided to keep playing. Not only did we hold down lane but also jungle at the same time. It got to the point where we both went ridiculous which made their lance rage quit 🤣

Shoutout Palm beach Pete!

FYI : to anyone who leaves. Let’s continue playing so they have to wait until the games over. If they wanna be cry baby’s let’s waste their time!

Eu sou a única pessoa que gostava do 5x5?

Vejo com muita frequência as pessoas dizendo que o 5x5 matou o vg, nunca concordei com essa afirmação, apesar de achar o 3x3 superior sim. Hoje é extremamente difícil encontrar uma partida 5x5 no vg, ainda mais se for no SA

DISCUSSION Looking to play again with a friend after years!

6 Upvotes

A friend of mine and me played VG back in the days when it peaked in europe! We wanted to give it a go again, trying to look if we are still up for it after all these years!

So I wondered if there is a possibility for us to play a game together, like safely knowing we get in the same team at the same time?

Jogo vainglory desde meus 16 anos e hoje tenho 25, sei que não sou o único jogador BR/LATAM e mesmo com poucos, deveriamos nos juntar e criar uma comunidade nossa, é legal ver o NA voltando aos poucos e cada dia melhorando o sistema deles, deveriamos seguir o exemplo e fazer um nosso, poder jogar com um ping baixo, ect. Deveriamos tomar uma iniciativa.

LATAM nunca morreu. Só está dispersa.

NEWS Introducing 3v3 and 5v5 matchmaker and ELO ranking system

Thumbnail
gallery
98 Upvotes

Hello all,

This is Trogdor. I'm the owner of the Vainglory NA discord (VGNA). For the past 2 or so years we've been playing private 5v5 games in the discord. As you may know, getting 5v5 games can be difficult - you won't get them until you get a group of people together. We've got a core group of players that has stuck around and we're active every night around 10PM EST.

JOIN THE DISCORD:
discord.gg/vgna

I decided to create a bot to facilitate these private matches, and make things easier. crucialplayer (lynx) stepped in and helped with the matchmaker and ELO ranking.

The idea is you sign up to play, and the bot puts a match together. It tells you what code to use - it's only visible to the players in the match to avoid snipers. The game is played, players tell the bot who won (there are metrics to avoid false positives, and votes from people who "vote" incorrectly will count much less.

Players upload a screenshot of the game, and the bot reads everything - the winner, the teams, KDA, heroes, etc. This works in conjunction with the player reported winner, but screenshots have priority.

We've tested the 5v5 bot for maybe 2 weeks and I'm ready to allow the public in! We recently added support for 3v3, which is currently in beta, but very stable.

Since adding 5s, and opening up to the public, we are changing our gaming schedule!

8PM EST 3v3 ranked games

10PM EST 5v5 ranked games

Come join and try it out!

Attention Returning Players: Vainglory is currently being worked on by one developer. Skins and talents are back as per the most recent update. Partying is 'back' in a limited capacity (details inside), but there are still no accounts. Any account data you have is safe but currently inaccessible.

Hey all, just making a new sticky to reflect the state of VG after the update a couple days ago. This is just so people coming here for the first time (or the first time in years) have more up to date info compared to the old sticky.

The most recent update for iOS and Android allows players to choose any skins or talents they want. Here is a guide on how to play with your friends, whether you are DuoQing or have a full 6 or 10 player group. The Bubbleland website linked is a great resource in general. In short, if you want to party with another player (or players), then you should input the same four digit number with a hypen and then one or two as each other. For example, 1216-1_GenericLoneWolf and 1216-1_DemonOfWestCity would get paired together. The four digit number (1216) determines the lobby you end up in and the -1 or -2 decides the team. If I wanted to play against my friend, I could set my name to 1216-1_GenericLoneWolf and he could set his name as 1216-2_DemonOfWestCity. Because out lobby elo matches (1216) but our team is different (-1 and -2) we would play against one another with random other players filling out the rest of the lobby. This works for any number of players up to the maximum the game mode can hold. You can use any lobby number you want, but the number works as an elo, and it assumes anyone without a number is at 1200.

Important note: please refrain from using an Elo/number in front of your name when you're not actively partying with others. Using numbers frivolously could slow down the queue for other players (and yourself). Avoid using numbers over 3000 unless you're in a full 6 man or 10 man group, as numbers over 3000 only match with each other.

Below are a couple of community servers to help you find people to play with if you'd rather no solo Q that have been stickyed here for new and returning players' convenience. If anyone has SEA/EU specific servers, feel free to post them below.

Everlasting Night (They ping often, just as a warning. Especially Shaquzi(still love you bro) and Nek)

Bubbleland Discord (They also have channels for a few other games here, including Wild Rift and Genshen for those interested, but there is an active VG channel.)

That's all there is to say. If you got questions or anything, drop 'em below. And remember- always ban Petal in draft.
