I would love to see the addition of 5-10 more TW reward brackets.
The current structure incentivizes some of top 100 guilds to sandbag, making for lopsided matchmaking.
Example: New reward brackets at the 250M, 275M, 300M, 330M, 360M, 400M and 450M GP where the rewards for losing a match in your bracket is equivalent to winning a match two brackets down.
Alternatively (or additionally), matchmaking could be improved through consideration of average TW participant GP (+/- 10%), or simply the number of TW participants per side (+/- 4).
I believe any/all of the above would greatly alleviate the occurrence of TW matches where the outcome is near certain before defense is set. I personally would like to have a reason to try to win, or keep a winning streak going.
Thoughts?
Speaking of TW, just include the number of participants into the matchmaking. GP only is too easy to game, it has been known for ages and nothing has been done. I guess CG doesn't care as long as it's the whales who benefit.
You guess wrong, but who's counting.
Then give any other reason why this problem hasn't been touched. Not sure if it was even acknowledged, and it's plaguing TW for how long? Years? If you have any actual proof that I am wrong, share it and I will gladly admit my mistake. Except you won't, as usual.
First, the data they pulled showed no significance in win ratio. That alone was why this persisted, because, ya know, data.
They are looking into it, along with other things related to TW, but stuff takes time.
I'm not going to try and convince anyone they care, everyone has their personal feelings about, well everything. But I will point out that when people say they only care about money, do they think that the devs here are just rolling around in $100 Bill's. From my understanding they are not. The dev team is comprised of a group of individuals passionate about their job and care a lot about the success of the game and the things they do. This is hard to see from an outside perspective, sure I get that, but this attitude towards them is just an internet generational thing of dehumanizing people due to internet anonymity and is not actually true.
No significance in win ratio? Is this a joke? Are we a joke to them? Anyone with at least half a brain can see what happens when a whale guild sandbags. Do you think that they would do it if it didn't impact the win ratio? That 10 - 15 people would just be like "yeah guys, I'm gonna sit this one out for no reason whatsoever"?
And if they are "looking into it" like they were at the officer tools thread, they might as well not bother. It won't happen within the lifespan of this game anyway.
They (and you) keep talking about how "passionate" they are, but the game is stale, communication is all but nonexistent and obvious improvements are ignored. Individuals may be passionate, but as a whole, it's just another corporation. EA gonna EA, and a few small fish with passion won't change that. Gone are the times of Kozi's enthusiasm, Carrie's sometimes ill-thought but honest communication, and even Doja's initial optimism...
But that's enough ranting. Hopefully the RA brings more than just another GL. Not holding my breath, though.
That was earlier not early in TW life, just not recent. Again, you want to act like they dont care about what they do and that's not a joke.
Yes please dont hold your breath, that can have bad side effects.
I don't want to act that way. In fact, I would much prefer not to. It's just that the reality is what it is. As a scientist, I'm of course open to be convinced otherwise with actual evidence.
What you believe cannot be unproven, no matter your profession. They are people, they do a job they enjoy, and yes they are passionate. Since I am fairly certain you have not spoken to many or maybe even any of them directly, your conclusion about things they feel about what they do is base on no evidence. I will also add, them caring and being passionate is not based on your belief of that.
