game on every level, the devs did a preview for us to enjoy. Check out the details and let us know what you think below. 2i4g2n
Faction Based Rating Points
In the next update, we will be separating your players to unlock the other 50% of the game, as they can swap factions without risking their main ranking points.
The points you have already attained will be calculated into your new ratings points. Based on the ratings points on the end of the season before the update, your main faction will receive the exact same rating points that you have. Your lesser faction will receive points in relation to your main faction.
We will be running some magical formulas to get you off on the right foot when the change happens. We will be taking your rating at the end of the season before the update, and using that to work out your rating points for each faction after the update. Your strongest faction will receive the exact same amount of ranking points as you finished with the season before.
Your weaker This will be based on your card levels for that particular faction. For example, if your card worth for Empire is 100, and your card worth for Rebel is 50, the points will be distributed in a 2:1 ratio. If you scored 1000 points the season before, and your cards are valued like this, your Empire ranking will be 1000 points and your Rebel Ranking will 500 points.
Due to both sides being separated, you can get the Crystals from both factions once the season ends.
■ Faction Based Levels
Following from the separated rankings, after the next update your existing player level will be separated into This helps to alleviate some of the issues when playing your least favored faction, as you will be playing other players who will be a similar standing as you. Your turret levels will also be separated depending on your faction.
After the update, your levels will be dependent on the upgrades you have made for a particular faction. You may find that your Rebel Alliance Level is at level 6, whilst your changing to a faction based level, the required XP per level will be changed.
■ Season Reward Requirements
In this ranked games as Rebel Alliance, to get your Galactic Empire Season Reward, you will need to play at least 5 ranked games as the Galactic Empire.
■ Game Mode: Ranked Match / Normal Match
At the moment, all match results wager your Rating Points. This makes experimentation difficult because there is always a huge players can get playing against players of a higher level.
Through many meetings, conversations and disagreements, we settled on the decision to separate the rules of the game modes in the update. The modes will be separated into Ranked Match and Normal Match. We had to maintain the 2 mode split to reduce fragmentation of the matchmaking pool.
Ranked Match 1 vs 1:
Ranked Matches will be the game mode which can increase or drop your Rating Points. In the update, the existing 1 vs 1 mode will be changed to the Ranked Match.
Normal Match 2 vs 2:
Normal matches will be a more casual players will be using the same card levels. In the update, the existing 2 vs 2 mode will be changed to be a Normal Match.
In Normal Matches, unlike friendly matches, you will be able to earn Credits and Galactic Empire is in Tier 6 wins a Normal Match for Empire, he will receive a Tier 6 Card pack.
Due to the rather drastic changes mentioned above, there will be some changes to the rewards that you are given.
Play Packs and Free Packs
Play Packs and Free Packs will be given the same as before. When you packs will open based on your highest faction.
Victory Packs and Credit Reward
These packs will be given based on each factions tier. Just like before, you will get the reward based off your opponents tier if you win against higher tier opponents.
■ Improved Matchmaking ELO
We are making a few Play Experience Points will be added to your ELO matchmaking points. There will be a limit to these Play Experience points, and they will only increase proportionally with your current ELO.
As your ELO increases, the chance to fight against more challenging opponents also increases. Winning these games will see a large increase to your rating points increasing your rank further. We are also making adjustments to the Rating Points drop when you encounter opponents who is a way higher level than yourself.
■ Replays!
We are also finally implementing the replay feature that many of you have requested! You can watch some of the best action from around the level games. However you want to watch replays, you can do so here.
You can ranked players in your guild to improve your own gameplay!
There is more additional details more thoroughly once we are ready to post the Update Notice before this goes live.
May the force be with you.
