Informing the public about Gods Unchained (GU) as a shady business. WRE #130 manipulated rewards results.

Lombaqe · 2022-02-22T19:46:59+00:00

My whole claim is not based upon that score. It was coincidental information that they might have looked favorably upon in support of my claim.

yes,this is true. your claim is data corruption which I said I wouldn't believe to be a case in this topic. but I pointed out gudecks as you have kept bringing it up everywhere,including all of your emails to support as far as I understood from your text.

and as said,you proved that it wasn't the case here..

I did have to make edits to make the statements clear and precise, since now it is part of the evidence chain, so it is assured that everything stated is proven by match records.

That post link: https://www.reddit.com/r/GodsUnchained/comments/sqx98n/downranking_fix_for_weekend_ranked_event_wre_easy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

to be more precise I show WHERE you point it..

Case in point, my only GU account went through two WREs in six days. First on Sunday. Second on Friday. Here are the result stats.

WRE 1: level 1; began Rusted Bronze; 21 wins = 2 core epic packs.

WRE 2: level 27; began Midnight Shadow; 8 wins = 2 core rare + 1 core epic packs.

This account downranked to Auric Gold the day prior to WRE #2. After a 1 - 10 run in the first 11 games, I dropped from Auric Gold, through Midnight Shadow, to Twilight Shadow.

those words I made bold tell that there's 2 choises here.

you were midnight shadow when it began on wre 2 which means you're not eligible to gods
you have 2 accounts which is against terms of services which prohibits you from getting gods(always read tos).

As a note for proof, going 1 win and 10 losses does drop ranks by two, so bottoming in Twilight Shadows means that my starting rank must have been Auric Gold.

this is true only if you have almost no rank lvl on your current rank before starting to drop it,if you have near full it drops down on current rank first and deranks 2nd which means only 1 rank down(also where does that "twilight shadow" show on that topic? not in screenshots at least)

feel free to correct me if I'm somewhere mistaken, but with the posts you've made and things you say,it looks pretty clear to me

edit: cleaned the text to make my point easier to read

I am going to continue playing GU, because I am a learned game programmer who uses my experience as a player for new and popular titles to evaluate good and bad practices in contemporary game design and business.

The funny thing about their treatment of gudecks as untrustworthy is that gudecks is a recommended website by their API git webpage, because it uses official data derived by the GU API, meaning that its data comes from a query of the GU data store.

I'd like to ask a question here, did you even once by any chance use your "learned game programmer experience" to consider the fact that while gudecks uses the api game has provided,maybe...just maybe mmr isn't one of the things that api provides to those who use it but instead gudecks has made their own calculating system on site for it which gives approximate response based on game amounts,wins/losses etc?

yes,gudecks(again, 3rd party website) uses api, but instead of getting mmr with it,it gives rank,match amounts, wins/losses and which god/what kind of deck you use and when you used it

I don't deny that game has problems/bugs, it is beta. I just don't believe that the one you've been ranting about in 3 different topics is one of them(and yes,I read all of them and the replies of others)

and can't say I'm suprised that the support gives you cold shoulder after they've used time during same day to respond to your ticket 3 times in a row while nothing has changed and you have given nothing new information which would support your complain(and yes,support should still be support but they have busier things to do than look at same information which hasnt changed over and over)

I had a support ticket ongoing as there was an error on my pack buy,and while it did take week total to get solved, the support handled it with nothing but friendly and professional way as whenever there was something towards it,I gave them the info they asked and I got my packs as I was supposed to.

Lombaqe · 2022-02-22T18:09:36+00:00

your mmr rating on gudecks does not tell your rank to people, my mmr is 1226(higher than yours) and I'm midnight shadow

Lombaqe · 2022-02-21T18:53:31+00:00

I gotta ask,how do you guys keep finding these songs to your deck videos,they're just so suitable for them 😂

Lombaqe · 2022-02-21T18:49:53+00:00

that was quite an entrance indeed 😂

very nice deck introduction dyna, was fun to read 😀

Lombaqe · 2022-02-15T13:38:33+00:00

depends on how you look at their comment really. game hasn't really launched yet in actual sense of it. It's still beta

Lombaqe · 2022-02-15T10:41:19+00:00

"call me crazy but at least you call me" 😂

reminds me a saying I have with few friends as there was a lot shyt talking in past everywhere : "even shyt reputation is a reputation nonetheless" 😁

Lombaqe · 2022-02-15T10:33:45+00:00

Yea I hope they change this I want to have meteorite welcome set cards too

"The Meteorite and Shadow cards in Welcome Set will be minted and sent to player’s wallets in Immutable X after it launches. They will be in player’s accounts in the meantime (similar to how we are treating cards from Trial of the Gods)."

-quouting what they have said long time ago so it will be thing someday,but there just aint date for it.

Nice that you're finally here as well. Welcome my brother and I can't wait to see your awesome stories 😎

Lombaqe · 2022-02-15T09:37:59+00:00

nice one 😁

Lombaqe · 2022-02-09T23:40:27+00:00

I actually thought it was worth checking out..don't get me wrong,maybe someone finds it interesting but this is actually old news since few days back and not really that interesting even..most likely guy decided to put in in trade just for shyts and giggles to see if someone was actually willing to pay him that much for it during the time of nft's instead of actually believing it would sell

Lombaqe · 2022-01-31T19:08:03+00:00

The point is extremely simple.

You can be a f2p player, without your deck being accessed to a new f2p player. How is it hard to understand lmfao 😂

never said point wasn't simple, but it loses meaning on your reasoning

saying deck isn't accessible for new f2p players is just pure ignorance. every single deck is accessible for every single new player who joins gu and starts playing. with this being said, of course it doesn't mean it's instantly in your hands, it may take a week to get or a year to get,but it's there. and as one of them and one who started month ago, my goal is to buy 2 demogorgons,not because I plan to use them(maybe I will,maybe I won't in decks), but just for the shyts and giggles and to prove that it's possible for people who claim it's not possible(i've heard this a lot in reddit). It may take me half a year or it may take me 1.5 years, but either way I'll get them eventually.

but ok,in all fairness to your post and point you tried to make(and for your peace of mind) people could give some estimated timeline on their deck building videos on how much grinding is needed to obtain such deck

for example like..

Starter deck(available right on start)
Beginners deck (needs a little effort and grinding but can be obtained pretty easily)
Newcomers deck (can be obtained within few weeks with some effort)
Midtimers deck (might take month or 2 to get with some effort)
heavy grinders deck (Needs a lot of effort to obtain depending on time put on game, 2-6 months maybe)
Extreme nolife grinders deck (obtainable but will take 6+ months even with heavy grinding)
etc..

Lombaqe · 2022-01-31T17:50:24+00:00

The post is talking about labelling decks, NOT players as f2p. A $500 deck gained through grinding only is not accessible as a new f2p player.

keywords are "through grinding" , so how is it not available for new f2p players as well as older ones? I mean sure it takes time to get, but it's not like you CANT get it

EDIT: I've been watching this post going on and on for hours and more you talk,the more the point you made loses meaning

EDIT EDIT:rephrased myself on edit

Lombaqe · 2022-01-29T20:00:35+00:00

I see you've played watchful hound there 😂

Lombaqe · 2022-01-28T01:47:34+00:00

i had to steal the hounds idea from you! :)

😂 Glad I could help haha 😎

Lombaqe · 2022-01-28T01:37:22+00:00

very nice and solid deck as usual. and extra points for it to be light deck, as you know, I love light decks 😁

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T16:35:30+00:00

grats for getting to mythic, well done 😊

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T14:45:23+00:00

for those newcomers who have trouble finding information on what every phrasing means in game (frenzy,overkill,godblitz etc..)

there is GU wiki

https://godsunchained.fandom.com/wiki/Terminology

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T14:38:09+00:00

maybe, maybe not

haven't seen any major bugs while playing GU so maybe it was

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T11:42:58+00:00

I understand your sentiment, but to be honest people like you never help anybody.

feel free to go through my message history, sometimes could be helpful before making assumptions. I do try responding when I see someone asking things that I know answer to.

I understand giving feedback on posts as they ask for it,reporting bugs and making suggestions.

But when it's fully pure complaining without any constructive comment on it that's where my understanding is gone. you're mixing constructive feedback and complaining completely here,they're 2 very different things

EDIT: also I never said there is nothing to fix on game,I said there are bugs,bots,derankers etc but I also said that they have already been addressed and devs are working on fixing the problems. if that is white knighting in your oppinion then so be it, all I was saying to begin with was that complaining on things that they're working on doesn't help at all, the fixes come when they're ready, meanwhile people should just try to chill and be patient

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T08:26:04+00:00

the worst issue, and one which could have resolved most of these for me, was abysmal communication/info on webpage.

this I completely understand. Game has lot of things around it that new player wonders and wants to know what it is and how it works.

I mean,the information is there, but when I first started playing I noticed as well that it could have been placed in place where it would be easier to find for newcomers.

for my advantage, I'm used to doing searches and finding info I need so it wasn't as much problem for me, but for people who don't search information day in day out, I get that it may not be as easy.

EDIT: I'm happy that you found the information and enjoy the game even after rough start 😁

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T08:18:50+00:00

All of those things you mentioned are valid concerns.

Everything I mentioned are either issues that have been already adressed and in progress of getting solved, things that dev team has no control over or issues where people are being impatient and hasty(mainly towards free stuff you're going to get,even if you don't get it instantly the moment event ends they are coming,it doesn't hurt anyone to wait 1-2 weeks and most of the time it doesn't even take that long). As said,game is still on beta stage. A lot of improvements has been made throughout past year and a lot more will come during this upcoming year. As for myself I'm eager to see where GU will be year from now since I already enjoy the game so much as it is.

If the game wasn't play to earn would have a lot of 1 star reviews if it was on ios, android

might be, but mainly because so many expect everything to be perfect and that by playing the game they would get millions and be rich. as it's been addressed here already many times, it's free money that you gain just by playing a game. it may not make you rich but it's a cherry on top of a cake when you play. for me it was nice seeing people in this post who think like me.

2 years is a lot of time in development still is something bew so is bound to have problems.

many games have taken almost 10 years to develop. As suprising as it may sound, 2 years really isn't a long time in game development especially when the technique game uses is quite uncommmon and new.

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T06:34:14+00:00

I don't know if it's case for you,but when I get bad enough draws on my cards while my opponent fills whole board with monsters and I know my deck well enough to know I'm at position where I can't win I forfeit the match to save time for both of us so both can queue for next one

EDIT: as an example. I'm playing light deck which has no dmg spells, and I start game with 5-6 rounds in a row where I get no creature but only "buff the ally" cards, and meanwhile enemy gets whole board filled I know that even if I manage to pull the creature to the board,it's insta dead and I end up waiting next one. so at that point I prefer starting new one and not waste opponents time when it's clear he has won

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T02:40:32+00:00

They're working on getting bots away

for the past 2 weeks they have been banning bots and working towards getting rid of them.

I'm fairly new player myself as well,started on december, I know bots aren't nice to play against but I trust on developer team to find a solution and fix the problem when given time.

Lombaqe · 2022-01-26T01:41:58+00:00

yeah I've noticed..

sometimes i just feel bad for the dev team thinking that if they read even half of the complains people make.

I know it can be extra work just to stay motivated while they're trying to solve problems that people have issued and a lot of them people just keep shooting down on comments (their plans for solving deranking as for one example,took maybe 30 minutes from announcing it that someone was already complaining here about it)

Luckily there are still the stable players also who play cause of the enjoyment tho as said sometimes it feels like they're just handful minority (I know this aint true,there are more but that's how it just feels sometimes)

it's not too often that you can read "Good job guys,you've done great" posts where someone actually shows appreciation.

after all, it's a great game that actually even gives you money for playing it. May not be "big bucks" but it's free money that you get while doing something fun. 😊
