yes, finally they acknowledge it, still, this doesn't change the fact that Inno games is on a downwards spirall of losing their players trust by doing things like this, I remember GBG being exactly how they are changing it to be now, random by LP, they are basically changing it back to how it was before season 28, and they never announced the update and change to Guild ID, they did it in secret, it wasn't in any change log, then they denied that it is by Guild ID for months and months, until awareness was completely spread about it, and denying it was no longer possible, I don't trust them anymore, and I wonder how can anyone trust a company that pushes experimental features to the game without adding them to the change log and then pull them back once people start seeing trough the change?
wasn't exactly the random sorting by LP that got us in this mess in the first place? people weren't happy with sorting randomly by LP either, as the real problem is not sorting, the real problem is the fact that you have 5 leagues across a total of 1000 LP, while
Place | 8 Guilds | 7 Guilds | 6 Guilds | 5 Guilds |
---|
1st | +175 LP | +150 LP | +125 LP | +100 LP |
2nd | +125 LP | +100 LP | +75 LP | +50 LP |
3rd | +75 LP | +50 LP | +25 LP | 0 LP |
and the fact that even a small guild with a few players, can easily climb to diamond? the solution they are changing back to isn;t solving the problem, but is definitely offering more diversity ... they should acknowledge that the gap in LP between the leagues is not big enough, or they should acknowledge that if 1000 LP is the cap, that winning of LP should be cut down by a 100% to make it actually a viable solution, so that in diamond you would really have only diamond league capable guilds, and in platinum only platinum league capable guilds, instead in this "new" actually old solution, you will still have 49-50-60 diamond league guilds on each server, "diamond league guilds" who aren't able to conquer 1-2 sectors the entire season, unless the real diamond guilds give them room to play and show them mercy and understanding, does Inno even realize that these small guilds who are falsely placed in to diamond league, are actually competing to drop out of diamond and stay out of diamond, as they get to farm more in Platinum and Gold league because in Platinum and Gold there are no guilds like LoW, Apocalypse, Insane University, GENESIS, Hostile Take Over, or similar, who can keep them boxed in their base for full 11 days? diamond is not the goal for 90% of the guilds out there ...
changes needed ...
increase gap between Leagues or decrease LP gaining by a 100%
make GBG cross-server, otherwise the leagues are completely pointless, as even in the above suggested change real diamond guilds would end up fighting the same guilds over and over again, as other guilds won't be able to stay in diamond by not being able to match them
why is cross-server such a big issue? do they not have the $$ to make it possible? bandwith in 2021? there are 1 TBit internet connections for as cheap as 50$ a month in some countries now
