EA Staff (Retired)This Change is terrible. Now there’s no point even having challenge battle the reward is paltry. I know you had a lot of feedback on discord but that was from high level and admittedly not very good players. Since I joined this has felt like a skill based game. Now it feels like a pay to win that I would’ve never joined. People with level 10 units were losing to level 7 because they are not good players, they are the ones that should be bumped down a leave, not the skilled ones as will now happen. I was going to spend money once I got to Tiberium but that won’t happen now because of whales moaning about losing to level 8s.
Repeating - this change is in most players best interests.
Too many, uh, rising stars rose faster then either skill/experience and unit level should really have allowed. People were calling it the 'paywall' and maybe, very slightly, it was. But clearly, with the change, EA is saying they didn't intend for that to happen.
This is a competitive game that rewards a cool head, strategy, and experience over just about everything else. The more you play - the more of your own replays you watch - the more C&C replays you see - and the more you practice within your own guild - the better you'll be.
This ain't SWGOH - you can't just farm your way to victory.
Exactally what I keep saying. They are allowing players with max level (level 60) to drop down leagues and now they took away the benefit for skilled players who are ranking up through pvp and not paying cash. There is no reason to have such an unbalanced game. Matching people for pvp is easy. Match average unit levels problem solved.
Nothing you said was relevant to the discussion. If someone is paying money to get to level 60 and unlock all high level units they should never be paired with a player who is level 10. End of story. They just made the challenge mode into a zero benefit for the low level player and every benefit to the high level player. When paired for pvp you should be given the same level units and unit options. Anything else is just a farce.
They’re not interested in free play, and have no concern for those who quit over it. The true game boils down to what you’re willing to pay. Think of it in a positive light: EA with these * stompings is messaging people to stay in school for a better paying job, which allows them to not only win in life, but in the pay to win genre of games.
The only reason they are making this change is so the scrubs who pay out money to level up are getting owned Jin the face by good players with much lower unit levels. This is just the most expensive cnc game ever made for consumers and they are catering to the people paying the money for it. There is nothing about competition or ability in this game. It’s all about how much money you spend. If that weren’t a fact, a level 10 player wouldn’t be paired with a level 60 level player who has juggernaughts and mammoth tanks.
