Day 1 Steel Purchases, it allows pay to win.Originally Posted by Skvillritz Go to original post
There is documented difference with 108 GS, revenge pops so much more often, hits are harder, and received damage is less.
The match maker is to blame. It can't even balance matches with 5 players, ie: it ends up being a 4 v 1. That's even before GS is brought into play.
Like all Ubi games, half asses, not working, and no updates in sight.

TBH, I think the best way for matchmaking to work for Ubisoft at this point is if it just randomly throws players together. Seriously. It's so bad, that I've seen that it almost exclusively puts all the high level players on one team. As in it goes out of its way to ensure unbalance. Ubisoft, your programmers are very untalented. At this point, just make the system randomly throw players together and you will most likely have a more functional matchmaking system.

Dude... Really? For your information you can get free gear boxes from singleplayer game mode. Just by finishing the campaign you will get like 6 boxes to loot + a bunch of steel to buy another 8 boxes.. So if you actually play the game you can get around 15 loot boxes in 3-4 hours.. Keep them until you are prestige 3 and here you have top items in game for free..Originally Posted by G_to_the_H Go to original post
Another thing is the gear score.. If you can play at least half decent then you can win against any gear level hero without any gear yourself.
The only point where I would like to agree with you is the fact that 108 gear guys with revenge builds are annoying.. It is ******ed when you can turn on revenge every few seconds (you can usually counter this if you GB instead of just ********ing people with light attacks)... So in this case yes.. For an new player who does not know how to counter revenge mode - this crap is annoying as hell. Ubisoft should really consider implementing a 30-40 seconds cooldown on revenge mode.
Also they should remove revenge gain from injury.. It's stupid when you guardbreak someone two times and land clean shots just so they could pop revenge on you..
Just to sum up. I think the gear is not that OP, but what they need to do is to nerf the Revenge mechanic, because now it's not a mechanic for a comeback when you are ********ed, but a rather good offense tactic..

So fing ridiculous when people write "i dont see a problem i played a game yesterday my team one lvl 4 rep and 3 no rep destroyed. ITS NOT ABOUT 1 GAME ITS ABOUT 10-20 GAMES! Don't u ****ing get it!?
We had this quest: Win one round skirmish. We played 6 hours and couldnt do it. Always prestige 3 at least. And is has nothing to do with being good or bad. It comes to principle!

The problem is the playerbase in your region, that the matchmaking go's way too fast to an extended skillbase to find a fight and that everything PvE related, even kills in the campaign, work towards your K/D (Even tho I don't know if it influences matchmaking, but I would guess so). I would rather wait 10 seconds more to get people in my skillrange.
I don't mind fighting against people with high prestige, because that doesn't mean they're good. I saw numerous rep6 guys who had no idea what they're doing. But the gear difference is enourmous. Everyone go's on the revenge gain and revenge attack build, because it's obviously the best choice in every gamemode the gear stats matter anyway.
It also feels inconsistant. While the revenge build up is noticable even with lower items, the attack/defense/stamina gear doesn't make that much of a difference (Which is probably good) - It should be for the other items aswell. Having a full bar of something should boost something to the maximum of 10 or 15%. Something like numbers would be nice, Ubi! Not vague af stupid bars.

Matchmaking is absurd... I often end up playing elimination or dominion with some bot instead of 2 team of players. That's something i can't wrap my head around since the game should have plenty of players (i'm on ps4).
Another thing that i can't really understand it's the language filter. I don't even know if it's working or not but, being in Italy, i would love to be able to disable it and play with all europe at least. I mean.. who talks in this game anyway?
Seriously it needs some work.

I think that would introduce a whole new host of issues, rather than solve the problem.Originally Posted by Kelemdros Go to original post

you can buy as much premium sets as you want, if your clas is reputation 0, you won't get anythign higher then commonOriginally Posted by G_to_the_H Go to original post
for blue stuff you need rep 1, and there you do not get much (3common with low chance of being blue, 2 guaranteed blue)
for purple stuff you need rep 3, that will be 3blue with low chance of purple and 2 guaranteed blue
by the time you hit rep 3, you will have enough steel to buy a ton of premium packs even without the shop
pay 2 win? no idea what you are talking about.

He's pointing out that you can pay2win by buying loot boxes with real money to gear up when you're prestige 3, which is only partially true.Originally Posted by Valtaya Go to original post
If you get matched against people with no gear, which is a pretty common thing, then you paid2win.
If you get matched against people with equal gear or better, you paid2be on equal terms. A win is not guaranteed and your advantage or disadvantage is pretty insignificant.
If you queue for modes where gear doesn't matter, you don't have any advantage over other players, therefore pay2win doesn't apply there.
