Capital Games TeamWhile you're taking a look at fixing some things in SWGOH please consider this. Sandbagging has become a problem for guilds above 380m GP, and is making Territory War unfun.
Intentionally having members sit out and not get rewards, so that the rest of the members can move from a losing box to potentially a winning box, by fighting in a lower weight class is a bummer. That seems like unintended game design as this incentivizes players to sit out of TW and NOT play the game. All other content is designed so that you want to participate as much as you can to get the best rewards.
Is it too much to ask that TW matchmaking is based on total guild GP, instead of total signup GP? Then the advantage would go to the guild with the most active members, and encourage players to play your game.
And then you have guilds trying to force people to participate in a game mode than many have never enjoyed. Sandbagging whether intentional or not has always been a thing and will always be a thing. The solution is to scrap the game mode and redesign it in a way that people can either enjoy it or not without pressure either way.
He spams this response, no matter the topic
I’m respectfully open to get suggestions on other ways to communicate with the game designers. TW just seems like it hasn’t been touched since 380m+ was a “big” guild.
Making matchmaking based on total guild GP might solve things for top competitive guilds but would wreck a lot of casual and lower guilds.
Besides casual guilds often having a lot of folks who don’t sign up for TW because they don’t care or are busy, casual guilds also are prone to GP imbalances across players. My guild ranges from around 2m to 13m per player (technically we have one under 500k but it’s someone’s family member). If one of our three guys over 10m fails to sign up, we’d lose a big chunk of our best squads. And that’s after a couple of years of long term members gradually raising their GP. When we first started TW, I and one other guy were 30% of our TW defense squads by ourselves.
