To add onto that, sometimes the games gets so frustrating I purposely lower my skill level before my charge completes just to hope that I'll be evenly matched. Skill levels can be faked, levels can't.
Yes now think of it the other way the person ur level that sucks doesn't want to play u cus ur too good for him
well then that person just sucks... what I consider fair is same upgraded gear, if you whine that you keep losing to people your level then you just suck at the game. It is fair when you have same upgraded gear.
No....the higher players could've joined towards the end of the game, thus making you number one in the match. It all depends on the player and situation.
well then if u get paired by skill you will not have same upgraded gear as the players you are playing.
Seems Chibi-Zed and comcom didn't exactly read my post. I explained that if the level 18s were matched wit hlevel 18s, wouldn't they leveled faster? As a result they would be out of the low level range faster. Thus the good 18s would be among the higher levels where they belong sooner. While the adequate are stuck playing with the adequate. This process will take some time to fully execute because ngmoco did not start out with such ways. But for the long run, it will be a much better and fun play time.
Yup. thats a big + for this game. I never played any online FPS coz most of the gamers were way too skilled for me and it`ll take a really huge amount of practice to give them any competition. But in Eliminate I can easily find those who are pretty much eqaul to my skills and have a fair chance at winning the game. It`s a lot more fun for those who arent hardcore gamers. I`d have stopped playing if all I was doing is getting fragged each and every single game.
No i didn't I said I do awesome against a guy who is 25 levels higher then me (except in tank where he is a shield camper cough* cough* noob cough*)
Have you considered instead of matching someone based on skill or level and skill to instead say match people based on level * skill. Like if you multiplied the two together and matched people that had a similar total it would balance a little better (while still leave possiblities for most people to be matched quickly) obviously tolerances would have to be a little higher so people like terrorist would be able to find matches.
and that frustration is what will happen to a larger number of people if it was level based right? 80% of people it affects which is th hardcore compare that to 80% of the masses complaining if it were the other way arn
In other words, the select few would not be punished with a snail-like leveling speed. They'll actually level faster, out of the range they don't belong in. In turn meaning the better players are no longer forced to compete with the less skilled, and vice versa. EDIT: The "hardcore" will be seperated into the higher category of levels. The less being the lower.
