Daze, Queue + Patch

Yadocxer · 03-10-2015, 05:32 PM

Thanks for the arena improvements Glitch. These should address some issues and be helpful to folks.
Another thing that would be helpful to me and everyone that is receiving low points for wins would being able to see our secret rating so we could compare it with public rating and know when its best to arena.
If I understood your explanation of possible points received for a victory the closer your public rating and secret rating the more points you could get.
Thanks

I'm still a bit concerned about queue times if the new patch causes a drop in participation, but only time will tell.

I'm glad that at least something was done.

Seems like 14% cap on double drop bonus.

I'm pretty sure many people does arena for bonus not tokens/rating.

Can we get let's say smaller bonus decay to counter participation limit?

Sounds fair to me.

I made a team for my alt and yes I got 7% after 49 matches. And it did take a bit of time playing late evening 4 hours or so, maybe a little less maybe a little more.

Looking for arena partners with crafting suit fighting.

Just an update of my testing in arena. Yesterday, I started a team from scratch with my alt. I played 49 matches and ended the night with 7% 2x drop rate, so figured you could max with 14%when playing 100 matches.
Today I played 100 matches and ended up with 11.4% 2x drop rate bonus, shy of the 14%. This is just a FYI. (PS I forgot to check 2x drop rate present after reset.) And I am not sure how daily decay and % gained for a match works.
If it would be important to know my win/loss, win % and rating 78/80 49.3% 361.4
Thanks for reading.

When do we get to vote on our preferred arena type?

Would it be possible to have the anonymity part be used in 3 v 3 arena (as in cant see or inspect your opponent)?

Can we have a third arena type of actual solo arena ie. 1 v 1?

My only reservations about voting on the current arena is that opinion may largely be skewed by the way rating was and is made rather than the format itself and that if we started fresh with this arena type with a better rating system then it would be far more popular.

Your match value is halved at reboot (or it was with the old system). Your bonus is the square root of your match value.

Your 49 matches became 25 matches played.

You now have 125 matches. (It actually appears that you have 130 matches played if you have an 11.4% bonus).

I would assume before the start of the next season.
