No more gold box mission <---one of the best part of the update, now if anyone tells u they have a gold box mission, well we know you are lying. :ph34r:

[Hancho 3,902]

I'm sure there will be a lot of lag for the first week until they will manage to fix it somehow.

There is no reason for such to happen. We still will have the same number of servers.

will there be new links for Flash Player users? Or how can you rejoin the battle you were in after you got for example an error

[francisisking 26]

Flag missions need to be removed for the following reasons:

 

1. Some, or many, players sabotage flag carriers so they can pick up the flag when you're dead.

 

2. Will help CTF battles making all players focus on winning, rather than capturing flags for themselves individually.

 

3. Removing flag missions will reduce a number of CTF battles in favor of more TDM and CP.

 

About other missions

:

1. I'm in favor of removing Finish first, but if you don't do that, maybe you can make them rarer, that way druggers don't ruin battles.

 

2. There could be missions for number of kills in a certain mode, not too many kills to not make players only focus on killing, nor too few for them to leave when completed. Example: 10 kills in TDM

 

3. Remove crystal missions, it makes people abandon losing team early, and it's not fair for those that stay until the end.

all good reasons, I agree 100%

I'm pretty sure the current filters will stay. But more are needed, this is what I came up with before:

 

Battle defining filters: CP, CTF, DM, TDM (same as today)

 

Non battle defining filters for Standard battles: Summer, Winter

 

Non battle defining filters for PRO battles: Space, Night, Format/Non-format, Supplies On/Off, Overdrives On/Off

Maybe there should be a filter for Standard and PRO Battles too. (that one can be on top)

why you remove missions Catch gold and finish 1 in battle??

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

This update leaves room for another needed change, reducing the length of rank brackets.

 

As a mental exercise...

 

- If brackets were 31 ranks long, the list will be for meters, everyone will have the same list.

 

- If brackets were 1 rank long, players of the same rank will have the same list, the list at the minimum will have 4 battles (1 DM, 1 TDM, 1 CTF, 1 CP) When there are few players battles may not be full; when there are a lot of players there will be more than 4 battles.

 

I wanted to say 5 ranks long will be good, but I think 3 will be better. That will reduce a great number of mults, clans and friends joining Standard Battles.

 

For PRO battles, the bracket could be 5 by default.

Yup, the current filters will stay.

Just one lobby. There will still be separate servers, but you will not notice them as such. One server won't have enough capacity for all the players and all the games, so there have to be more of them. 

 

 

 

Should be just as hard (or easy) as always, unless you were completing those missions the easy way in an almost empty battle.

 

Lag should not be increased because of this update. At least not in-game.

 

You will be able to see all the battles available to your rank, from all the servers. All these battles will be shown in one lobby, in one battle list.

I did not know, thank you

[I3.R.0 1,700]

Cool

 

 

Hazel nug no remove mission :angry:

 

Somehow people find reasons to find a flaw in every update. Finish first Missions are meaningless atm...If they are, then they deserve a very big reward, because right now to complete this mission, you need to -

1. Join the Battle from the beginning to stand a chance of coming first. 

2. Use supplies almost simultaneously so that you are not destroyed easily.

3. Use Isida the most of the time, because that gives you extra XP.

 

For this you obviously should get a bigger reward.

Rn, for x3 finish first mission, reward for a Legend is around 4200 crystals. For me it's less than equal to the amount I spent on supplies. 

15x Repairs (150) = 750

35x Double Armor (50) = 1750

35x Double Damage(50) = 1750

10x Speed boost (50) = 500

Total = 4750

This is what you have to do, to stay alive in a REGULAR Legend Battle. For a warrant officer or for a lower rank it might be very easy since M1 kits are available from Sergeant or Staff Sergeant I suppose. They give you a lot of advantage. If you are an experienced player you have a skill advantage as well. 

This simply means that <Finish First in Battles> were never useful after Missions were unacomplishable in PRO battles. Because in a PRO battle, say XP/BP, you need true skill to finish first. You don't need to waste your supplies, do you?

 

PS - Just like these missions, I feel that Collect Supply Boxes' Missions should be removed too.

The way to fix flag missions is to make them team targets rather than individual ones. You would probably need to raise the number, though -  say 5 flags captured by your team.

Not 100% sure but presumably developers will release new links ASAP as they did when the servers were merged in EU. 

[DaringDeer 656]

Like this change very much.  Tend to play at lower traffic times so expect this to save me some time finding best battle.  Agree that some additional filters will likely be necessary to control list size.

[Tranquil 211]

BRAVO developers- this is a MAJOR step forward! This is gonna make the game so much more enjoyable. If you haven't already implemented it, filters will be the next update to be made, so players can find the battle they want quicker and so that the battle list isn't too long and taxing on our computers' memories.

BRAVO once again

So, EU1 was the server for XP and Gold rains, EU2 and EU3 were the servers for "normal" battles and EU15, EU16... were the servers for rank up and events.

 

All of this will be gone now :/ I think developers will have to work on filters. Like XP/BP (that would include XP/BP, XP and BP), and Parkour. Because unified battle list = lot of scrolling.

 

I see you will remove finish first x2 or x3, smart move. Sometimes we don't have much time to play during the week, finish 3 times first will be very hard in this unified battle list.

What happens to EU1 AND 2? I play EU 1 FOR XP AND eu2 for cp pro

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

 

Why unify Chat? What's the real reason.Some players like to be on one server they meet up on with friends.Now they will have to chat on one or use PMs which aren't Group chats.

The point was to unify the battle list, and remove the server based battle selection.
As a side effect it makes no sense, to have the chat split up over various servers, when the ability to choose a server is removed :)

This was my first question as well, and I am nosy for the answer.
As the servers changed from (RU1..RUx + EN1..ENy) ->to-> EU1..EUz, it have simply beend the adresses of the former RU servers, that have been used for the new EU1..EUz servers.

 

I am very nosy to see if we all connect to a single lobby server hosting the unified battle list, or if each of the battle servers is able to display a unified lobby. Let's see :)

Since this feature is in discussion (and even before as players had the idea) the players talked about filters.
Up to now we will not get filters.. and honestly.. let's try it and see how it works out.

 

As an example, there are frequently XP/BP sandbox pro battles on EU5 and EU2. A few, but there are some. But -> They are soooo easy to find. You simply activate [CTF] as game mode filter, then you scroll down (upper half normal battles, lower half pro battles), you scroll towards the sandbox map and there you are.

 

Same situation with the new unified lobby:
Select your gamemode, scroll to the pro battles, scroll to your desired map, and there you go.

 

I know it is far from perfect.. but in my assumption it should be useable. Let's try it out, we can still continue to complain once we saw it :)
