Let's Discuss PRO Battles

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

Too few drug-free battles.  :(

Why nobody creates them? It should be the default choice when creating a Pro battle.

RU2 home of no drugs

[misafeco 713]

Because most people create PRO battles to play without drugs. You're always welcome to create a drug-free battle on your own though.

Drug-free=without drugs.

I'll try it, thanks.

I don't like that they took off the "create" button  on people who don't have pro passes.  :)  :mellow:  :(  :angry:

PRO pass sucks for me. Yeah, I get to save lots of supplies by playing in them, but most of the none supply battles are against legend ranks on the Russian servers who all have titans and m4s etc etc. The other PRO pass battles have supplies enabled... what's the point then. This game has lost its lustre. The other battles on offer are XP mode, so it makes sense for me to get railgun. Other than that I am rapidly losing enjoyment. Another annoying aspect of PRO battles is clan takeovers and the length of battle. The other day our team was within 3 (yes 3) points of winning a polygon CP battle, only for an entire team of Russians (with suspiciously similar names) to come in and turn it around completely. Shortly after that I quit.

Yeah, why does PRO pass allow supplies to be enabled?

 

All that's available is polygon, polygon and more polygon.

Hello!

 

I see that the majority of the battles are PRO Battles. I see that.

 

Why PRO Battles are even the majority?

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

I think a great idea would be, when you reach Legend rank, pro passes are dropped from 5,000 crystals to 3000 crystals.

A good way to make the battle fund go high is to use only double damage and speed with the occasional use of mines in maps like arena, and polygon, without any isida or stock freezes that don't have corrosion alteration.

Wrong topic? :D

Nope, I was talking about it if they added new settings to pro battles :P

I don't mind the existence of Pro Battles. What I do mind, however, is the fact that only those with a Pro Battle pass are able to create games, and said games cannot be joined by those without passes. I don't understand why AlternativaPlatform left the creation of non-Pro game rooms up to an automated system. Players (without passes) are now unable to play on their favorite maps if there are no battles taking place on those maps. Remember the days of tanks falling from the sky on Madness? Chasing your flag down the alleyways of Rio? Shooting into the enemy base in Atra? These maps are effectively disabled for those without Pro passes, as the system doesn't seem to want to create battles on those maps. Why must the map choice be so limited for those without Pro passes?

 

EDIT: If you're reading this just after I posted it, I got this premium account as a return gift after a few months of inactivity. I'm really enjoying being able to drive around on my favorite maps again. As soon as my premium account expires, however, I'll probably go inactive for another month or two, as I wait to be able to receive another pass in the same way.

Good luck with your daily missions though.

 

Devs have absolutely de-valued the Pro-Battle Pass by taking away ability to complete daily missions there.

Using PRO battles to complete daily missions was almost cheating, really. The point of daily missions is to give you an objective, or multiple, to complete, while simultaneously fighting for your team (or your own) victory. Using a PRO battle to get a certain number of kills, or collect a certain number of supplies, is basically cheating the system.

Okay, I'll give you an objective:

Go battle m4 Generallisimos with protection against your turret, and try to finish first.

 

You are low rank player who lacks enough experience with the game, your opinion will change as you rank up.

Yes, most m2 polygon xp/bp players don't play the mode anymore.

I too won't renew my pro pass when it expires, atleast for some time.

Why are there so few PRO Battles with supplies disabled if there are so many people complaining about supplies? And even those battles are always the same...lots of Poly and  Noise, a few Silence, Arena and Island and maybe Serpuhov...

[Maf 32,300]

Go battle m4 Generallisimos with protection against your turret, and try to finish first.

First of all, his rank doesn't allow him to do that. Second - he should just select battles where his rank is one of the highest, to avoid a big power gap.

But I agree about the issue with protections. Players, who chose to upgrade just thunder or railgun are in a bad position since in pretty much every battle there's over 50% players with high protection from those two turrets.

That's why I liked the battle creation system change. There's such a great variety of maps now!

There are so few players in no supplies PRO battles because those players left the game.

Look through your friends list and you will see how many have left this game.

 

Another one of my friends left this week. He was going at 70k xp per week.

I also did 70k last week, and 60k before that, but this week still to hit 10k mark.

Completing missions is very hard now against druggers.

I meant rank up and battle with them.

Also, it is not easy to find battles where your rank is highest.

 

Usually when server restarts, the Marshal rank+ people click battle button first on each server, on each mode.

Since I am major general, if I click battle button, I will be taken to the battle with them, since the battles are not full, and the brackets are bigger.

 

I have been playing against m3+ players for this whole week now.

And now they will get m4 easily, because of cheaper MU's.

You can always have more variety with the pro pass you know.

People play in non-pro mostly for missions, or to use their fully MU'd stuff + drugs to rank up to legend in 3 months.

Yes we can have it...But we don't have it. People keep creating the same maps over and over again.

Not if people create the same maps over and over, but when I create something original and uncommon - no one joins.
