Version 1.3.8 Hotfix Release Notes

<< < (15/27) > >>

Keyvias:
Geo, most often, do you use matchmaking or friend join to find games?

On friends list:
Actually it was a built in work around for some of our vet players who already had over 1000 friends.  Required no work on their part and gave them pretty much the match list they had before, cutting out any novice games or games without people they knew/liked.

Red's rules are even more aggressive, but steps like that are big pushes towards balance over flexibility.

@Sale
The biggest complaints we had we on time and balance in most of our reviews and we know this works better than the old system and will work even better with more people especially many around the same level.
As I said before, if we want to focus balance, let's come to a consensus and we'll get started making balance the priority.

Neithrantulre:
Matchmaking would work just fine if we got real fixes to real problems and real new content so that the community can grow. It needs a large number of players for it to work. Advertising with steam sales can get warm bodies in the short term, but they inevitably will leave, because they buy it to realize that the game was not even worth the severely discounted rate that they payed. The last time we got fun new toys was closer to the initial release in 2012 than current day.

This system seems to be built on the assumption that GoIO is a huge community with enough pull to keep large numbers of players even through heavy handed and misguided updates. Not every experienced player wants to have to teach new players constantly.

This hotfix made most of my clan uninstall.

D.lo-res:
It's like they were told matchmaking hasn't really been helping create balanced matches and then rather than working on that they made it slightly more difficult to see how unbalanced a match is.

Also, invisible ships!

Schwalbe:
I own this game for a month or something, and to be honest - there are only 3 reasons I haven't uninstalled it yet.

1. The gameplay is really good and this is the only multiplayer oriented game about which I actually CAN say it's really good.
2. God dammit, my good friend Disaster and I are both introverts, I'm rather more expressive, but for christ's sake, this is propably only place where we can more or less meet each other and have fun together, yet not bothering ourselves
3. ...I paid 15 bloody euros for this one, and I am a poor, young, unemployed polish student. I respect my money, especially when I spend them.


Edit: Oh, you noticed that too? I thought it was one of my delusions...

Yeah, you can see all the levels by pressing tab once the match starts or just clicking a bit in the lobby. That 'fix' really is a joke.
