F2P < P2P < P2W: A suggestion that might be nonsence! | Forums

[IAINTYOURBUDDY]

Hey dear RedLynx Mod's Dev's and everyone connected,

first of all, I dont want to be unthankfull, thats why I want to Thank every Developer, the designers and makers of this Game. Its been really fun to play and talk about it. I am now playing the Game as my first Game and quit another Game for it. Why did I quit the other Game? Because it used to be so cool to play for free and with a bit of time I could easily play with the Big Boys who are simply p2w. I usually aint a full on f2p'ler so I casually show my graditute of a good game by paying for some cool content.

What is my Problem? Well first of all, I have the feeling that this Game was totally f2p and you could achieve alot simply by playing smart (and funny?!). This is just a great way of making a Game really awesome. So also here, I started to Pay small amounts for the Game, just to make it more fun for me and achieve things a bit faster and also to contribute to a developers Team who have made a great Job.
But now some month into the Game, I face things which simply werent there before and I assume its because your guys are simply pushing people to pay more (Sorry if it is simply a wrong accusation, but something has simply changed guys). As a SPPD Fan, I promoted the game to my friends as being totally easy to Play and achieve everything you want without having to pay alot of money, I feel kind of like Jimmy promoting the Terrence and Phillip Game in the episode ya'll prolly know.


MATCHMAKING AND RNG:
Dont understand me wrong, I dont want to be a "Angry Gamer", I am simply reflecting the Game on a very calm way and thats why I am sad and not angry at all and would like to make a constructive suggestion than just nagging around. I have seen this happen to so many Games now and it is simply exhausting. I analyse your Game, I am a programmer and studied psychology and I know what your guys are doing: The RNG of the Game was changed about couple of weeks ago. Now it is like this: I win about 5 Games in a row, everything works out Great, my players spawn right away no laggs or anything. the next 5 games, everything is slowed down, the fast Assasins seem stalked, the spawntime takes ridiculously slow, as If the Game was predetermined. Thats okay with me TBH, I know there is a need for a RNG in such Game. Even about that, I am not Mad guys. Its about the Matchmaking. "I mean Come on" () how can you matchup a guy with a 4-5 lvl'ed Deck with someone who has a full on lvl6 Deck. And No: they didnt Rank theirselfe down to my Rank. F.E. I am rank 7000 in Legendary, and I constantly get Rank 4500 or even 3xxx. That doesnt make sence nor fun in my eyes. Its simply not fair. Also it seems that "Tactics" all alone doesnt work anymore. It seems its more about the Overall of a Deck and so if someone has just one assasin on lvl6 he is "predetermined" to win.

The RNG in total is a bit too much in my eyes. Before it was at least fair, my players spawn right away and didnt lag out untill my phone is destroyed anyways. Also the Handhook clyde Problem: In rigged games, mine wont hit anyone in 5 tries. The other Guy simply hits every single time one of my players, not even any kind of player, but always one of my MVP. I really thought the laggs are my internet connection at Home, so now I am at work in the University. We have a good connection here, and I have the same problems over and over again. It laggs out, my Zapper zapps 0.5sec slower and thats why I loose.

MY SUGGESTION FOR MATCHMAKING
Please correct me if this is just plain tarded what I am saying, but for now, it makes sence for me, but maybe I am just a bubblehead :

The Matchmaking should be a mix out of the Players Rank and the total lvl he has in his Deck. You give every Card a variable meaning: Common Cards are a variable from 1 for every lvl. Meaning a Level 6 Assasin would a 6, a Rare card gets 1.5 for every level, epics 2.0 and legendary 2.8 (just examples). This way you can determine what decks are on a certain level and and moreover what would be a fair matchup. Of course people could alter the matchup by putting low level players into their deck BUT that would also make it easier to play against them, so all in all, doing that wouldnt bring you alot. This only works if you matchup people -1000 and +1000 from the person who is actually seeking a rival. So If I am rank 1000 my matchup possibilities are rank 2000 to rank 1 making it possible to get 2000 people as a matchup. Also meaning, the higher you get the harder it gets. Totally naturally. So there is no need to rape someone on rank 7000 with people on rank 3xxx !

In my eyes this would also make it useless to use a RNG because you automatically come to the edge of your deck, meaning you will be forced to pay or excessivly play this Game to achieve higher ranks. At the moment it doesnt seem this way anymore apparently. I personally would actually pay way more for the Game if I smell fairness and the possibility to win with tactics and brain against people who are stronger. I am so willingly to pay hundreds of $ for this game, but at the moment I simply feel pranked and thats why no more than 25$ are being put in every 1-2month. Which is a drop compared to the top100 who pays prolly the whole game development by itself. Also 50% of my clan thinks this way and the other half simply doesnt pay at all. We are all open to shove money into this really cool Game, but keep it fair, smart and funny !
At the moment when I want to get my pvp pack, all my games go 1:0 or similar. It takes ages, making it worse than before to get the pvp pack. Its just exhausting sitting 30min to get the pvp pack. After I claimed the Pack the Games seem to go normal again ;/!

Do something at least, people are seriously pissed guys!

Best regards and Thanks again for all your effort!

You DO understand that matchmaking is actually based on who is available to play at the moment, first and foremost? Not everyone who is at your level is actually eagerly waiting around to play to you.

You play people with level 6 cards because they are online at the moment, probably more than most. If you don't want to play people with level 6 cards, try asking for a new arena for people who have them in their deck like I've said before. If you put a level six card in your deck, it should put you in a new arena, like ELITE or something. And those people can play evenly matched opponents instead of beating up on people who don't have any.

Hey dude thanks for your reply

Ofc i know that. But you want to tell me that from around 50 of my homies being online (not in the same Team) in different discord channels all get different players even though they are all nearly the same rank? Can you tell me why i get only rank 18-21 with exclusive 5-6 decks? We all suffer the same problem and that is called RNG! So why fight it with such argument. I know that there are times were the server simply isn't crowded and i end up playing someone 3000 ranks above me. But I just played my PvP pack, yesterday at the same time my matchmaking was okay, went from 6000 to 4300 within getting my pup pack. I had some luck and really even matches. Today same time, mid week day, exclusively playing way higher or stronger than me, since the Bot goes for rank not the team you have set! You win some and loose some and specially when you want to get your PvP pack, the game mostly starts f...ing with you. Always happy when RNG is with me but i would be way more happy if they would switch back to the more invisible RNG!


All I am saying is, there should be more variables counted in than rank and if that is already the case, than rank shouldn't counted in as high as other variables. That would also solve the problem with downlinking people. Since they would still be matched with heavy hitters even though they rank themselves down 5000 ranks )!

Like I said in my thread before, its just thoughts and suggestions!
