My rival list just exploded...

[DunkNL]

Can we please get a response from Gree on this?

CJ said they where 'testing' this new algorithm. I think we can safely say that almost no one likes it. It kills pvp for most people and removes the need to spend gold and get better. So.... test failed and change back to the way it was?

Rival list should only be based on your own lvl and ally count. It has nothing to do with your attack/defense!

I would have no problem with the rival list showing people with higher lvl and/or higher ally count. But not lower, and not based on attack/defense!

Agree, but think your last point through. The person you attack would rage that he was attacked by someone outside of his bracket.

This really needs to be changed back. I really hope no one has bought gold because of this scam. Gold will not help you get out of this. The algorithm will just give you even stronger people that will still beat you.

Hey all, we made some changes to the rivals list algorithm, it now weights much more on overall power than it had before (which is a change a lot of people have been asking for, for a long time). Give it a try and let us know what you think.

This is entirely made up. Have we yet found one person who asked for this?

[Cuthbert (B$A)]

What I like is your stupid algorithm was not even uniformly applied. I get hit by guys 10-12 levels higher but I cannot see anyone on my rivals list that is not within 1 of my level. Therefore, I get screwed by not being able to let the crap roll downhill, as was intended.

Switch it back please

Why hasn't anything happened. GREE???!!!

Personally, I like the change. Only complainers are those who were camping and thought
they were untouchable. Well you aren't now.

Going by that fact that about 95% of people are against this change, does that mean that 95% of people in the game are campers? No, camping if a perfectly legit strategy.
Gree have screwed everyone over making the game an endless ladder. They have managed to make their own source of income irrelevant to the game. They still cant see this. Maybe pirate money is enough for them for now.

Same here. I was attacked by a player 5 levels higher than me, yet my rival list only displays players at my level or 1 lower.

This new system is completely flawed. They need to change it back now.

You do realise that thousands of people play this game
and are not complaining. About 10 folk moaning here doesn't
mean anything. Fight, and fight again and stop
moaning.

You dont know that. I know that I have seen a increase in deserted bases since this has happened. The cause of this is less clear but my best guess is this change (and maybe bad timed w.d. events).

Very few people support it here, logic tells you that this will play out in the same way for the wider population of the game.

The members of this forum represent a very diverse and accurate sample size of all MW players... From extremely heavy gold players to free players, from aggressive players to passive campers. Our opinions and ideas definitely speaks volumes in the grand scheme of things because we represent a large part of the MW community.

And to go back to your first post, its not just campers who are "complaining". Lots of players see a fundamental flaw in this new system.

You should probably get your facts straight before you decide to post, so as not to say something stupid or inaccurate.

Most people will not have seen any difference and will carry on doing missions, raids and PvP attacks.
A few will leave, but at level.200.and above, it is.same old story of.non stop fighting.
Upgrade and join us.

No thanks, I'll keep camping. I think people have seen a difference. Its hard to ignore that a fundamental mechanic of the game has changed. Gold is now pointless except for people in top 3 factions.

At lvl 200 you might not notice any change yet, but when everyone in the lower levels leaves, no one will move up the ranks to your level and you will be left with few people to attack. Gree will lose a lot of players through this change

I'm not a camper, although I made extra camping account a month ago. My main account is LESS than 3 months old, have 4,3k battle wins and 22k raid wins (and 2,5 months ago I had only 5 stamina, now over 100). So am I classified as camper and cant complain or I can complain?

Do U know why ppl make camping accounts? Its because game is out of balance....BIG TIME. Here is NO STRATEGY NEEDED. None at all. What is needed is only Ur money, and a lot of it. In many places even money players have to THINK, use strategy etc and are made quite even (lazy money player and very active free player can accomplish basically same things).

Why would they need to change rival lists? Before some ppl could buy GOLD units to be most powerful in his tier, now its pointless to buy gold units...cause U get bumped agains ppl with more gold units. So why waste money and gold, when all U get in return is stronger enemies? The best part is...they can see U, but U cant see them. Its a friggin rigged privilege for gold players. Maybe I would like to see too 10+ levels below me and attack them, but it isnt fair to them and to me. Luckily or unfortunately I dont see so low either, and not higher too, but higher ppl see me
