Matchbot update 06/20/2013

[Reckful]

After playing a few games, i witnessed we euros got +5 extra deaths per game, not good "update"

+5 in a round or in 3 rounds?

not that i am using these when i play but i never lagout on a wireless with torrents on downloading at 2mb/sec

but yah, the rule was put into place because people specced to avoid deaths. when the bot specs you it should not punish you, in most cases a simple reconnect does the job.

all I know is this game has gotten much laggier since this change, don't know if they're related but go back to the original rule. This is one thing in twd that was implemented perfectly, don't need teams losing 5 to 6 deaths a game over +1s.

So how is this changed success/failure being measured? By vocal posts in this forum or in game? Why do we keep making random changes without telling anyone how the success/failure is going to be determined? Has the number of lagouts gone up substantially? Has the number of people speccing to avoid deaths gone up or down? Are more games being played? Or more people playing now that lag limits have changed?

Or is this just a new guy in charge changing something because his opinion was that it should be changed and measuring the success/failure doesn’t matter? Why can’t those in charge simply require anyone who desires a rule change be also required to supply a way to measure the changes success/failure too?

The low population has TW on the brink of ending yet we still make changes without understanding that they may set things in a downward spiral. TW isn’t Coke Cola; it cannot afford to roll out a ‘New Coke’, find it to be an abysmal failure, and then expect things to return to normal.

This may or may not be a good change, but point is that no one really knows.

[player]This idea looked good on paper, but ended up aweful in practice... As a Magic: the Gathering player I am very familiar with this problem (but... Flash-Hulk in modern, how can you lose?)[/player]

This update is something im watching closely feedback wise. The update has only been up a few days and already getting alot of negative feedback which is ok ill remove it if it stays severely negative but i will give it a few weeks of testing to see. This isnt the only thing i plan to do with twd though this maybe the first failure with it.

a few weeks? I don't see any one that's positive about this change on here on in game....had numerous people discussing it in ?go twdd or even pming me asking what I think and I can tell you people dislike it, it's even affecting americans/canadians.
To be honest it's just getting frustrating even bothering to twd anymore; I'll be playing a match and everything is fine and i'll suddenly lagout, check ?lag and everything is still around 120ms across the boards with 0.0/0.1% s2c and c2s rendering me clueless to what lag I'm supposed to have...is it a mini lag spike that has caused the lagout? I don't know.

hmm total number of players to discuss this with me at all ingame 1 and it had to be qpr

[player]As a captain of a squad with many euros, I would like to see this reverted back. This new way it is done sucks.[/player]
