Battle Stories: The Pixonic Community Roundtable

Decent write up. Overly optimistic, but good. I appreciate Shaolin Rogue and yourself taking the time and effort to put forth some of the concerns of the community to Pixonic. Thanks are also due to the other community members who participated.

Ball's in their court, so to speak.
Time will tell.

I understand. But an objective opinion would be: "The League is working as intended. Players are matched with other Players and points are calculated efficiently. We understand that higher tiers have a limited Player pool. Also, that this forces different tiers to mesh so as to create suitable number of Matches for Players to engage in. However, as the Tiers approach Emerald and Champion, the disparity in power levels become too great and this is causing an imbalance in the gameplay. A possible reworking of the parameters could ensure power-level appropriate Players are matched with other Players of similar 'Levels."

We need ways to make the current system viable not scrap the whole thing.

People that always want, or always give objective opinions, are not to be trusted.

It was a Roundtable. That means, give your Objective opinion on the "current state" not a Subjective review of the entire game and recommend changes that would clearly only benefit those who asked for them.

I was not present for the prior MM so, my opinion is completely objective. It works. I know exactly where the problem with "Tankers" is and how to correct it. But this would cut out into the, "I wanna play my way" crowd.

They wanted to know how to correct the "current issue(s)."

.. that's all

What I'm inferring is that there was a misunderstanding of the term, Roundtable.

It was clear from 10 minutes into the conversation that this was going sideways. I heard your assertions, you telling Pixonic about the older system and making a comparison. Which was fine but then you, like everyone else that was present, began to offer solutions by way of changing the current system to reflect the older system.

I'm just saying that there should have been guidelines. I'm not implying that you or anyone didn't have valid points, I'm saying that the conversation was derailed when you included changes that would obviously mean a complete reset of the system .. and to be honest, I didn't agree with most of what was offered in the way of "changes."

I respectfully believe that your opening position is that you don't like what was said/suggested, and then are trying to invalidate it through your own personal expectations of what the event should have been about, while having absolutely zero idea of what it actually was about. I really hate to play the, "you don't know what you're talking about" card, but I'm afraid here it absolutely fits. 

You're free to say you don't agree with any of the speakers or proposed ideas, but you go off the rails when you take it upon yourself to declare that this isn't what Pixo intended. 

Because allow me- as someone who was part of this from the very beginning- to advise you that

You. 

Are. 

Dead.

Wrong. 

I bet the post-event conversations we've had would melt your ears.

Nice read Dredd and thanks for talking the time and representing the community. I'm curious though, did Pix ever say *why* they wanted to have a Roundtable?

Was this in response to something?

Three minutes of conversation? Dude, try two weeks of conversations with Pixonic prior to the event even being publicly announced. 

None are so blind as those that will not see, eh? Just give it up. 

What did Pxonic ask for? .. Hate mail? .. "implied" scam artists? .. that they don't know what they're doing? ..

Or did they want a comprehensive position of the Player base on the MM? I seen No Polls regarding specifics and only heard, "my opinion" which demonstrated that no outside surveys were taken - that destroyed your credibility. Also, why was no one who feels opposed to your views included in the talks?

It was just a Pixonic bash-fest ..

If you're going to present yourself as representing the Community, then make sure you do that ..

Captian obvious and Captian hindsight out in the streets!!
It's easy to say what needs to be asked and what not after the event.
I listened to the whole meeting, everyone had great suggestions and Ideas.
The matchmaking system was the common topic amongst all.
So if the constant bashing of MM wasn't enough to get through their thick skin, then nothing will...

After hearing PIXO respond towards the closing of the session, I am confident that things will not change for the better.
Play this game, don't spend any money for more than it's worth, accept losses, and don't sweat for more than it's worth.
(This comming from a guy who broke 3 tablets in rage ...)
Everything has a life cycle, and for this game it might just have past it's prime.

You see your response? .. that is why you lost credibility. You think a Youtube Channel is what makes you or anyone more important than the rest? .. *smh*

Also, next time - if there is a next time - I hope to be included.

I believe that people who do things, perfect or not, have more to offer than people who sit on their keyboards and moan about those doing things, again perfect or not. If I've lost credibility with you, I guess I'll have to just find a way to live with myself.

Like all these other zero-credibility losers. 











So I'll be waiting for that PM, Firebeard . Have a great night!

So your opinion is objective because you have only played leagues, and others opinions are subjective because they have played the old MM and leagues?  Your opinion is uneducated, and you speak ignorantly.  You have nothing to compare leagues to. How can you know what the problem is, and how to fix it?  You never played the old MM.  You say they wanted to correct the current issues.  Ever hear the phrase, you don't know where you are going, until you can see where you have been?  The old MM is part of how we got here.  You can't just omit it from the equation.

Well, there were 6 items put out for discussion.  Those were the guidelines.  Guidelines are "shoulds" and not "have to's"

It never ceases to amaze me just how many conversations on the internet are essentially variations of the following:

A: Ignorant statement.
B: Uh, facts. 
A: NO, IGNORANT STATEMENT

Our mutual friend here continues to double down. Extraordinary.
