Declined Additional options for formatted battles

[DeathIsImminent 153]

Feel like I posted this before, but it may not have been approved for whatever reason? Not entirely sure why.

 

I just wanted to suggest the options like overdrives, microupgrades and alterations being possible to enable while keeping format for a battle when creating one. I have no idea why the format resets the moment you click on any one of these options. Change of equipment not being available makes sense, but what about the other three that I mentioned?

Under review

 

With the amount of alterations Railgun now has, allowing alterations in format battles would ruin them by making enemies too unpredictable. XP/BP is meant to be a fair competition where all players are in equal conditions, so adding alterations would ruin this aspect. Micro-upgrades are even worse in this sense, since their whole purpose is to make your tank stronger than others, which goes against the idea of format battles.

 

Overdrives are a slightly different story since technically everyone has them charging at equal rate and they're all of equal power. But they would still be bad for format battles, since without the ability to counteract an overdrive with supplies, a well-timed overdrive will have a far too great effect on the game's result.

 

Putting this under review just because of the overdrive idea, but it's likely it will be declined.

You did. It didn't get approved because we didn't have time to check it. Next time instead of rewriting the whole topic, wait a bit longer or send me a PM and ask what's the status of your topic.

Declined

 

Just confirmed this - Overdrives are intentionally disabled in format battles. Not only does it worsen the format (like I explained above), but it will make no sense to have this feature when the new overdrives are released.

I was just asking it as an option, none is forcing someone to have overdrives enabled or any of these in XP/BP battles. People WANT to use microupgrades and alterations for formatted battles. I have found more battles that say XP/BP and that are not formatted because people wanted to enable these settings than I have found actual formatted battles.

 

The only thing you'll get if you allow this feature is people won't ruin these battles and will be stopped from joining if they don't have the right combo equipped. What is so difficult here? So what if overdrives "ruin" a match? Leave it as an option. But again, that's not the primary request, microupgrades and alterations are. It's your opinion that it "worsens the format", but some people would rather not have microupgrades and alterations disabled when playing with rail + hornet/wasp only.

 

You allow supplies and supply drops to be used in formatted battles anyway . This decision to disable these options makes zero sense.You provide PRO battle pass to allow people to play the game how they want, and then restrict it. Please stop that, it doesn't do you any harm. PRO battles already are unbalanced in many ways, including formatted ones.

 

All you are doing is restricting choice for no apparent reason.
