This is a bot made specially for our Virtual Bar Discord server.
When you first join the server you’ll be asked whether you want to play XCOM or some other games (XCOM 2 MP is so absorbing you won’t have time or desire for anything else ;) ).
Old residents of the Virtual Bar can simply react to the XCOM symbol in the role channel.
After that you’ll get access to the section of the server that revolves around our favourite game: guides, game search, mod download links, fresh patch notes and, naturally, the Ranked mode.
So, here’s the guide:
Main page is divided into segments: Command list, Top 10 Players and Searching for a game.
Bot command list is very simple. “/player start” registers you in the bot’s system. “/player go” puts you in the “Searching for a game” section for others to invite you. “/player history” shows a history of your last 10 games. “/player invite” invites a player “searching for a game” to a match between you two. “/player leave” removes you from “Searching for a game”, inversely to /player go. “/player rank” shows your rank in the ratings.
You must type the commands in the “Рейтинговый режим” channel, otherwise they’ll have no effect.
Top 10 Players is self-explanatory.
Again, to check your personal rank (and see others near your position) type /player rank.
After you register yourself in the bot using /player start, you can start matchmaking.
1. To enter the search type /player go. This is what the result should look like:
When the message disappears (in about 30 seconds) you will appear in the “Searching for a game” segment.
When you will be invited to a game you’ll receive a private message from the bot.
(PLAYER invites YOU into a game. | Confirm | Cancel)
After accepting the invite the bot will send you this notification:
(Game invitation from PLAYER. Map: "Small Town Arid" | Join the voice channel)
The notification will have the map you will be playing on and a link to the voice chat of the game. Only you two will be able to join it.
2. If you see a player “searching for a game”...
...use /player invite “player username”
If the other player accepts the invitation, you’ll receive a PM notification from the bot, same as above.
!!! The host (hosts of the game move first) is selected by a coin bot (integrated coin is in development).
3. To post the results of the game both players need to press a respective button prompt in the ***voice channel’s text chat***.
Each player selects the result they ended up with, after which the channel closes (in case of misinput, like both selecting “victory”, the bot will ask again).
That’s it! Now you can join a new game!
4. Numbers.
Each victory gives the player 12 rating points, modified by the rank difference.
There are 6 ranks, and each rank difference gives/takes 2 points.
For example, if a Neophyte (rank 1) defeats an Adept (rank 2) they will gain 14 points, and if they lose to an Adept they will lose 10. With an Officer (rank 3) it will be 16 and 8 respectively, and so on.
Top 10 is updated every hour, Searching... – every 30 seconds.
To play you need to have all XCOM 2 DLCs and an enabled ModernMultiplayerMod.
Let the great battle commence! Good luck, commanders.
