I posted this in another forum, but received no help. Maybe someone knows what's going on here... I hope so, since this is really begining to annoy me. I've played three more automatches since this post, all wins, none counted. I want to play automatch and none of my wins are counting. Not... one. :(
Anyway, here's what I posted:
I have noticed something more abruptly lately on Gamespy that perhaps some of you have an answer for.
I've played DoW since it was released off and on, yet only really played it regularly a few months ago. Since then I've played mostly team games and unranked 1vs1s. I've noticed a bad trend in Gamespy stats tracking that I used to just rack up to my bad luck:
In 1vs1, wins don't count 90% of the time.
Before I used to notice this for along time, but never really paid attention to it, since I rarely played automatch because I couldn't 'find myself' online. Basically, I couldn't find a home race to master, instead I bounced around between all the races.. a jack of all trades master of none... which doesn't make for the best automatcher in my opinion. So the fact that 1vs1 wins wouldn't count alot of times, didn't bother me much...
Until now.
After alot of practice and finally finding a race I can relate to and attempt to master, I've decided to play more 1vs1 unranked for practice and finally started automatching the past two days... then I ran into a big brick wall.
I've played 5 automatches on my current account, lost 2... won three. The problem? Only the two losses counted. I became fustrated and played more unranked 1vs1 to refine my strategy and tactics, also to blow off steam. Yet again, I'd win many games... none ever counted... the losses, did.
Needless to say I've been fairly fustrated and I'm hesitate to play automatch again because.. well... the wins not counting kind of defeats the purpose. I checked with my friend, he played a few 1vs1 as well... the ones he won, more often than not did not count, ones he lost... did.
So my question is... what the hell is up with the stats tracking? Is this just my friend and I's problem or a global one? If so... that'd mean all the top players have played 3 times more ranked games than it shows... which is utterly stupid.
I hope someone can clear this up for me, since I do want to continue automatching, just not in vain.
