New Pixonic blog regarding changes to the Matchmaking System

I like it; I still wonder if hangar switching for different styles of play is going to be possible however.

League play based on performance - nice that they are making that transparent finally. Having a badge that will be assigned to you when the system settles down will help a lot in understanding who is who and does their game play really match up with their line up and their words. And the rewards being commensurate with league/performance will help a lot.

Wondering what this will mean for clans whose members will now stretch across leagues. Guess we'll see that shake itself out as well.

What i'm surprised is they relied on us for the old mm explanation, it now shows we are much bigger in Pix's eyes then some people may think. i wonder how the leagueswill be though, maybe  like clash of clans?

just an example, and watch your profanity

At least now there is a more formal explanation of what to expect.

I like the idea of the new MM.

I also am sad and believe it kills much of the variety of play that was available before the change. I enjoyed switching between LG heavies and premium bots in squads with clan to use AG mediums in Last Stand squads for very different game play. That seems to be lost forever at this point...on to big and premium bots.




Pixonic likes big bots ... no other brother can deny.

Pixonic gave a great explanation on their reasoning behind the the new MM. It's a good read here:

One important thing they bring up is not everyone is competitive and want every game to be challenging. A lot of people play the game on their phone to relax and just have a good round or two. To that end they may consider a new game mode for those players.

One thing I miss is under the new MM, as you progress you'll never be able to play the light mech game anymore. It's something that I really enjoyed where the bots were fast and maneuverable allowing for a fluid game. You can just go around pew-pew with each other instead of being 2-shotted by trebs or aephids. Maybe a mode where everyone starts with the similar light bot loadout and just set them loose in the map. Kind of like SPEC MIATA class in auto racing.

Why Pixo can't be more precise on the time these important changes like league will take place. Sure they have timetables and fixed plans for such things. Transparency, as stated in the article, is what we eagerly want.

You are entitled to have and express an opinion. Repeating such a negative viewpoint "ad naseum" however will only earn you more grief from the community.

According to a lot more people's opinions that just my own, War Robots has one of the better ratios of P2W vs F2P features in recent mobile gaming.

Addendum: If you want to see P2W hell for yourself, I'd suggest a tour of such games as World of Tanks or Age of War. Both of those platforms are all about P2W and getting whales addicted to micro-transactions.

I suggest changing the thread title, it's currently as generic as white bread.

So Pix finally shared some details about Match Making and their plans for the future. Certainly they should have said much more and told us much earlier as both IOs and Android communities are in a bit of a rage spiral. While I can understand the obfuscated goals were to confuse those who were aiming to manipulate the system, the side effect was to completely alienate those who weren't paying attention to the medias.



My thoughts overall on their new Goals they are still bumbling their way through the game, in particular they are still failing on their goal to be more transparent.

Something they need (which would make a big difference to outreach) is to add messages to the startup screen "we are now using our new match making system" with a link to a detailed post.


Their aim to get better balance is what we've been wanting for a long time and I'm still all for it and honestly it makes sense, better players should be grouped with better players.


Finally I'm looking forward to better rewards, it's interesting that the daily task list is a hold over from a better system, higher tier players need better incentives for achieving higher tiers and
fighting much harder battles. Personally I think it would go a long way increase the gold/silver rewards for reaching higher tiers, that way players don't feel "punished" for getting better and all the difficult fights connected.

definitely. 

HAD. Whether that is still true remains to be seen.

League system and transparency is what I've been begging for since the beginning

As for spending real money.. That's why they made the game to produce revenues profits and income... If you can't spend a few bucks to support a game you like and the developers well then..... Not saying anyone has to be a whale.. But $10 or so a month covers the overhead

the very idea that they are doing it is great news for everyone. Maybe they will make it like another game, such as clash of clans, or clash royale? im not sure.
