Quick Teaser
As teased on the Discord, I am adding an additional new pack to the Q3 update! (aimed to launch second half of September)
And even before the Q3 update, there will be a smaller update with a cool collab! Stay tuned.. 🎒
Addressing rating system feedback
Thank you for all of the feedback for the new Season 2 rating system.
The new system definitely made the game more competitive, and made the high ranks a lot harder to achieve. As Fluffeh mentioned, I think I might have "overcompensated" from the season 1 system, which was much easier to climb in.
Today I am adjusting the system and making it slightly more forgiving. During the Early Access we have to find the perfect middle ground, where the ranks are competitive, but there is still some room for experimentation, which is what makes the game so fun.
The 2 main changes:
- 0 trophy rating loss is now capped at -100. One bad run should not result in many hours wasted.
- You now break even slightly faster (8 trophies in GM instead of 9). Only earning rating at 10 trophies didn't work well, as the last round was often luck dependant on which opponent you faced. This is more forgiving than the initial S2 system, but still a lot more competitive than S1, where you broke even at 6 trophies in GM and gained +100 rating.
Updated table
I will be keeping a close eye on additional feedback and how this revision feels.
Thank you again for all the feedback, and bear with me as I finetune gameplay systems throughout the Early Access ❤️
