I’m sorry, but NOT forcefeeding the stackers 1v10 or 2v10 matches is NOT “punishing” them.
This apologia is getting rather tiresome. Unless they want to hire people to play against them, they just will have to switch sometimes. It’s not the end of the world.
game was matching 10v10 in most cases(at least with old MM), just that it cant guarantee quality of those 10 players in your team.
for you maybe. for 95% of the players who dont have everything grinded, nor multiple squads/weapons equipped, nor will to play every faction it is significant downgrade.
i have been playing for ~2.5 years and i still dont have xp nor silver(i have ~900k silver, but i could spend it easily just equipping/upgrading couple of squads with max weapons for BR that i usually dont play). players with everything researched up and loads of silver are in extreme minority unless they are exclusive faction mains.
soviets and US got interesting stuff, japan and germans got shit stuff. imagine my surprise when everyone is playing soviets and US.
they dont need to add top tier stuff. ffs t34-57 is very interesting addition for BR3 that many people will like and what did germans get? panzer 4 G that is copy of f2. when they could have added so many other unique vehicles.
what happens when people get some cool event squad for one faction? dont most people go play faction with that squad? they create faction stacking with fixed faction rewards.
sad thing is that it is 10v10 in most matches. you just have 9 people that lack brain…
Yeah, I wonder why it’s always one damn side of the match with premium squads and vehicles and full BR5 lineups
And the other starts with 1 or 2 actual players and then MAYBE gets backfilled during the match (with the damn meta of best players dodging that match anyway)
Clearly nothing ever can be done to improve the matchmaker situation /s
Also people spamming Calliopes, premium paratroopers, APCs and other crap will REALLY care about 50% bonus /s
allow me to make correction. most of the matches with old MM were 10v10. with new ±1 MM there are a lot more matches with open spots.
tell me what has happened with rzhev update? which side got interesting stuff and which side got pretty shit stuff? t20 and jumbo 76w are way more interesting than both BR3 MG and BR4 tank for japan. so what side will people grind?
i already told you ideas on how to improve it. other way is to introduce permanent servers (which would actually be good).
Game offers you to play any faction you want.
Oh never mind. You cant actually unless you want to earn less.
And I don’t know how much sense it makes to make a design that is against your core design. Might as well remove it entirely.
Laughably, pathetically inadequate ideas that simply do not address the fact that the meta for “best” (most of the players are actually trash tier, they just have ALL the gear and play horrifically stacked matches) simply converge into whatever faction stomps the most to farm their precious winrate.
I don’t think I can put into words how little I actually care about this, not after being subjected to lopsided match after lopsided match in the Pacific.
Send the overflow to PvE for all I care, currently they are effectively playing that anyway. I’m just tired of seeing week 1 “mArShaLlS” who can barely beat a bot squad in a firefight
Because every single utterly lopsided match poisons the playerbase with resentment and ends up with people leaving down the line?
When the matches are severely imbalanced, this game is literally unplayable dogshit.
What I want will make for a better game, what you want is “fuck you, got mine”
And the funniest part is - most of the gigastackers are not married to a single faction, they literally only play where the zerg is. By forcing them away with longer queues, anyone who actually wants to play a specific faction will (after a short while) most probably not have that much worse of a time in the queue AND get better matches to boot
Unless you just want to stomp bots…but you can always go do that in customs anyway, so where is the problem?
Behold, a healthy game! /s
Shirley, the 4stack with premium squads and millions of silver/rp saved up will care about +50% bonus /s
Shirley, they only HAPPEN to play they most fucking stacked faction currently /s
Shirley, no one on the nazi side is having an “FUCK THIS GAME IM GONNA UNINSTALL SOON” time /s
so you want implement even worse ideas? every MM idea has tradeoffs that are turn off for some players. my ideas at least mitigate problems in current MM system to some extent.
you know what is funny thing about that match? fact that it was 10v10 at start. ffs you even had 3 players who deserted prematch replaced with other human players, so you ultimately had only 2 more bots than enemy team(4v2).
Enlisted developers are thinking outside the box this is why we have mechanics that makes no sense.
Lacking piss poor product and they should not talk about “reworked matchmaking” etc because this does not exist it gives falseful perception to new players.
Only feature that exists is the battles that are divided between loadouts.
Tiring to press play when this shit comes actually too often.
