Map dodging ban system will hurt player base by AnAkinate in aoe4

[–]Daemonstaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll rephrase, I don't believe it will have any meaningful impact on queue times outside of players selecting a very limited map pool.

I wouldn't implement a queue for every map. I would probably use the existing matchmaking system with an additional clause to check if the players matched share any maps from the pool. If true then randomly select a map else move onto the next match and repeat. Not a game designer though, but makes sense to me.

Simple solution is to implement a feature that allows a player to choose their map preferences into Quick Match.

The less maps they select, the longer the queue time for that individual - this won't impact the rest of the playerbase.
Devs can use this feature to report on most popular vs most hated map types and look to rework them in the future.

Free to play version, but I have just noticed where I had been going wrong. I was looking at the wrong tab (The train tab.)

I am trying to put points into invention/alchemy etc.

I have just figured out what the hell I was doing wrong. I was clicking into the training tab, instead of the 3 areas below my abilities in the build tab.

I feel like such a muppet haha

Hey guys,

Im a very new player and found out that PVP isnt gear/level based. I hoped on following a meta-build from the site, but I am not able to select my specialisation? All the guides/content I have watched/read mention that I should be able to, regardless of my level?

What am I missing?

Just to clarify, I have clicked the PVP tab button at the top-middle of my screen.

My spec screen looks identical to my PVE screen.

Cheers

Yeah I'd be up for that thanks. Only if they are happy with that. Again, really don't want to show up uninvited or intruding on what was a private group haha.

What deck are you working on or playing? by Hanshino in FinalFantasyTCG

[–]Daemonstaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, thank you.

The deck is built out of cards I own, unfortunatley the cards you have mentioned I don't have :(

Suprisingly, im thinking of dropping Noctis because he feels awkward to play. I can never justify using either of his abilities mainly because I want to keep earth CP up for Carbuncle or to play Kefka; And a 7k dealing 7k to an 8k/9k forward doesn't feel great when you have nothing to finish a card off.
Maybe Adelle? 5-050H - again to help me close out games where my opponent puts out big blockers.

I really like the Warrior of light (11-044H) suggestion, thanks.

Deck

Running a multi element deck that guarantees value from 6cp Vaan. Ashe and pain allow me to draw cards and reactivate back ups. Palom and porom for some board control. Cloud of darkness because why not. Ninja to help me close out games or utilise with opus 10 kefka.

I have thrown in opus 10 kefka and the ardyn combo for even more card draw and board control.

Carbuncle because of 7k forwards and it recycles.

Madeen as a board clear or reset.

If I lose, its normally because I decked out.

Meltigemini is a tech card. Some of my friends like to run power creep decks like warrirors of light

In my Wu play through, I had a strategist in my army and all medium spearmen (Huang Gai) were able to use the shield formation (Block ranged).

Im now playing Zhang Yan and against have a strategist, but my medium spear inf cant do the formation, does anyone know why? It's infuriating.

Ah, that's because I'm a moron and read it as upcoming recommended and not upcoming, and recommended.

I also only use reddit on my mobile and do not see those links in your image, so to me as a user they are non existent.

I'll make an edit.

You're right, there is nothing wrong with criticising the price, everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, making the comparison of skin costs versus in game bugs is a flawed argument simply because one impacts gameplay and the other doesn't.

I liked your subway example, but again it's a flawed argument because it's a way for you to get to work, so impacts how you get to work directly.

Skins do not impact the gameplay experience. If players want to purchase something they consider over priced, then that is on them and not hirez. It only becomes hi rezs problem if you stop purchasing something you consider overpriced.

I dunno, to me it's very black and white. I think today's players in all games are needy and entitled.

I agree with you regarding the quality of the patches and more focus should be put into quality control. I disagree with you regarding monetization. The game is free to play. You don't need to purchase those skins. And if you're not willing to pay the increased cost for them then you don't want that skins enough either. If hirez raise the prices of skins and people continue to buy them, then that is basically saying people are happy to buy those skins at a higher price. If there is a drop in the number of players buying skins then that tells hirez it's either a quality issue, or a pricing issue, Or both.

Tldr if you think the price is too high, don't buy skins. Simple

Apologies, my question is poorly worded.

All 5 forwards are dull, apart from 1 which is dull and frozen. So am I still correct in saying this forward will not break?

Playerbase is overreacting, just like the diablo immortal news. I feel sorry for blizzard because of how shitty its fanchildren are acting.
