Why not keep it as is - even though full vars get 100% - so non-vars have a chance at a decent percentage? I suggest capping at 15 an hour (or less) like npcs to limit abuse.

i hope u realise how bad the situation is.

lower lvls get beat in solo.
and so they go to team mode to lvl up.
in team mode they are taken to juggernaut.
only to be massacred.

this is bad for business, because ED then is loosing potential customers from those lower lvls if they are always loosing.
specially during that lvl which is the hardest phase to get by when ur lvling up.

thats why it needs to be change. and juggernaut wins are faster than team wins because of its high %
ur average pro in team mode has 70% winrate. if this was the case for juggernaut, then the low lvls players stand a chance, and wont feel like rage quitting after getting beat time after time.

Player Matching

Now, the system matches players according to their Levels. As stated in the Enhancement section of my post, the system is extremely flawed. Now, I understand that if they removed level matching and used stat matching in Solo Battles, they'd lose money. SO, what about TEAM matches and JUGGERNAUTS? If the system could pool together the team's Weapon Bonus Stas (WBS) and group them together in the most balanced way possible, balance would be so much better. An ideal situation in my mind would be a maximum of 30 WBS differences in a Team Battle, and 40 WBS differences in Juggernaut matches.

quote:

Your forgetting one thing my friend. If the juggernauts aren't winning, there not going to pay diddly squat to this game. The lower lv noobs who are being slaughtered may or may not buy varium. So why chance it? It's better to appease the current players and give them what they want and that's easy battles with 100 percent win ratios.

quote:

I personally see nothing wrong with Juggernaut, consider you have to pay roughly 1,000 varium (or 20,000 credits) to even access it. Varium players get a decent win rate, and non vars get something a little lower. Nothing wrong with that in my mind.

quote:

yes but the problem is even non vars are capable of winning 100% of the time.

if the lvls were increase where ur average pro gets 70% (like in team)
then it takes some relief off of those poor low lvls. while also giving juggernauts NPCs to compensate more for their low %s

its win win for everyone and ED isn't loosing customers by constantly have them beat to a pulp by a lvl 34 tank CH or tlm.

quote:

Very rarely can non vars create a build perfect enough to get 100% win rates. They almost always encounter a match up of enemies with builds that compliment each other. (Example, smoke bh + high str merc with physical weapon.)

quote:

If the average win rate for pros was dropped down to 70% in juggernaut (50-60% for everyone else) then they would very likely feel cheated, since the original juggernaut match up range for level 33 players was something like 22-25. They payed for something that would be relatively easy, not a harder version of 2v2.

quote:

As for your last sentence; it would only be a win-win if the juggernauts benefited out of the change. Decreasing their average win rate by 30-50% is more like a win-massive failure.

quote:

well to be completely fair, low lvls cant do anything right period.
mainly because they rush to buy weapons and dont save credits.

they are lvl 20, and when they become lvl 21, they want a new stronger weapon, and at lvl 22 its the same thing.

so either increase the credits they gain, or make tutorials on how to teach them how to play.

also, i should point out that when lvl 35 comes out. u know how many wins it will take to reach lvl 35 from lvl 1?
ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- That made my day.

a low lvl that has little to no experience. (lets face it, if ur new and ur around lvl 27-29 u know nowhere near as much as lvl cap players.)
9000+ wins is a little bit too much for them. not so much for us active players since an active player can do 9k wins in a month. but they will struggle alot.

quote:

I agree that the credit system is rather jacked up for lower level players. And increasing credits per battle is definitely a good idea. (It takes about 5,800 wins to fully enhance a weapon with credits. That's nearly 100 hours.)

quote:

250 credits a lvl for the weapon.
a lvl 14 weapon would be 3500
and so on. basically a basic scale for pricing based on lvl.

quote:

That actually sounds like a very reasonable idea. High level weapons would only marginally decrease in pricing, while lower level weapons would suddenly become quite reasonable. This isn't really the place to be supporting pricing suggestions, but still....

quote:

Well I introduced 6 of my friends in this game and 5 of them are with level 29 ..... I know I am not an awesome player but I have given them tutorial about this game in my house: from best non-varium weapons for their build to stat progression. Even these players are telling me that coz of Juggernaut they hav no more will to play this game

quote:

yeah i also believe credit enhancement should be more lvl based.
this allows a lower lvl to enhance gear with lower credits instead of credits that a super active non var would get.
could be lvl scale, or % scaled.

quote:

That would allow lower level players (29-33) to purchase powerful varium gear and enhance it for a slightly discounted price. Not a good idea.

quote:

and how many of those would consider buying varium if they felt the game was fairer?
fairer in terms of not getting plastered to smithereens in 1 vs 1, geting shafted from 2 vs 2 to juggernaut to loose. and all the other team mode complications.
