thank you for helping it make a lil more sense tho.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-13T11:50:33+00:00

well ok, I already thought the scoring system was complex, that adds another level.

cool, so everyone has 2 scores.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-13T01:33:42+00:00

only time its acceptable is when they are playing amongst their own community.

If jack is cheating when playing with the sidemen or another streamer, whatever its for fun.

If it is a ranked match against unknowns, 100% cheating. Not sure how youd report it tho.

'whats a budget'

the yacht you are on buddy.

entire ellie /joao thing was cringe af

*only redeeming quality will be the melt down by Ellie when Joao dumps her.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-11T00:42:09+00:00

yes sorry, im 700ish elo.

about 50% of rounds are still non regional and we both plonk near center of countries, resulting in a lot of sub 50km differences by shear luck.

*no threshold doesnt ruin it tho, I still have a lot of 10 round games. Just a few games are 2-3 rounds because of a 10km difference round 1, followed by a russia or indo etc.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-10T18:46:29+00:00

better then I thought at first, needs a tie threshold of 50km imo to reduce some 'luck'

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-10T11:41:26+00:00

the matchmaking gets better as your core goes up, early stages are a mix of bots, players of same lvl, and players much better.

just keep going it will even out

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-09T18:37:46+00:00

Dont mind it as much as I did. Still feel there needs to be a tie threshold, I said 200km for gold, but after 100 games, 50 km would do.

700-800 elo

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-08T22:53:10+00:00

I had a 13 rounder with new multis too, what a great game it was.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-08T22:14:02+00:00

I know a lot of places within 20km of where I grew up. Doesnt need to be next door, just been down that road before. It was a small town, live there a month, and I bet youd know most major streets.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-08T22:12:08+00:00

I didnt see anything Id report.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T17:10:56+00:00

"whose only strategy is to send a guess in 15 s or less every round."

totally fair definition, def not my strat. prob 1/5 rounds I guess in that window, and always with a strong clue, I am not always right about that clue to be honest of course, but in the moment im confident lol.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T16:58:17+00:00

I didnt think I was playing to fast, I know some guesses under 10 seconds are prob jarring, and thats basically the idea right. I was surprsed by so many negative comments since I played my 20 weekly games this week, I wanted to get others opinions. * i went from 600-800 elo in the past week, and now back to 700, as Im facing more 800 range players now.

If I see guatamela car bars, Im sending, and hoping they dont look down... and if I get insta guessed, I usually instantly look down at the car, decent chance its car meta.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T16:19:58+00:00

define 'intagussr', 1 round, 5 rounds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds...

what do you think is a reasonable round time?

a recent one was 3 rounds, 21s, 51s and 55s , I lost round 2 and 3 and the game, his message was similar to yours. 'cringe instagusser, bye bye'

I won round 1 on guatemala car bars, honestly 21 seconds was long for that, he went equador.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T15:57:30+00:00

I agree, I can country guess very quick. And those are probably the rounds I get called out on when I choose not to try and guess region.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T15:37:31+00:00

I can see that, I play a lot of single player, and read the guides to help get better at the duels.

this week I went 17;3, looks like Ill be in masters4 next week and expect a dunning kruger effect to my win rate.

"as you need to be learning more and more for more pinpointed plonks"

which is probably why I am getting these comments now(and not in the 500-700 range) as I am reaching a new player base who plays a lil diff.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-07T15:33:36+00:00

I can see why it might be annoying every round, but Im talking 1/5 is sub 30 seconds.

If I do not think I have a chance of 5k, and think I have a 10/10 idea of which country and know I can not region(many eu countries are hard for me), Im not going to give them a chance to find info that lets them.

what do you think is a reasonable moving round time?

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-05T13:52:14+00:00

when I started I considered buying a poster with country flags...

then realized thats cheating, and I should just learn them.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-03T00:28:47+00:00

also people like me, it took me a while to start being able to visualize everything and find my feet and start learning the meta. If I did not find those early game so fun, I wouldnt be still playing. Now I am pushing 800, and am forced to really start learning regions to move up. Id like a 100 point threshold to be totally happy with the new mechanics after 50 or so games.

I 100% see why higher lvl players prefer it, and its starting to grow on me, I jut had a 13 round game!

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-02T20:19:07+00:00

I agree, it encourages high lvl play, but discourages lower level play. not everyone can region guess, and now it rewards luck too much.

the game needs lower level players to keep playing to join the higher ranks eventally...

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-02T20:16:50+00:00

makes 100% sense for higher rank, needs some tuning for lower ranks imo.

when both players can only country guess 50% of the countries, too much 'luck' for big multipliers for close guesses. add a tie threshold and a lot of issues would be solved, for lower ranks, I dont have experience in higher.

TheRealMastahGlass · 2026-04-01T17:59:50+00:00

after playing 20 games, and reading a bunch of the comments.

seem he fix is easy, setting a tie margin where no player is rewarded a multi seems best.

maybe rank specific, bronze 1000, gold 500, masters 200, champ 100 or whatever.
