"X victories in a row" bonus won't be inserted in this battle points calcuation version

The whole purpose of those extra bonus points was to give the low star decks that win several games in a row with skill the ability to compete against high star decks that attempt to win games with 2HKOs. The extra time required to win games with those hands would not be penalized, assuming you continued to win. Without that, the low star decks become much weaker (despite the fact that the matchmaking system will be updated).]]>Thu, 28 Jun 2012 08:46:11 GMTGil should be -5 at least, I mean compared to stuff like Yayoi, Lou, Ratanah, Sylth, Toro, Bogdan whom will barely be used and are -5!]]>Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:18:23 GMTHawk vs Jackie Cr comment. I feel Bogdan should be in group C or none. Elvis? Gil, Robb Cr and Uranus belong in group B IMO. I think Junkz and Piranas are a little untouched. Peeler, Haze and/or Gibson. Dalhia, Ulrich or Smokey Cr? Dalhia is very much like Shann and Naginata.]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:28:15 GMTUranus deserves to be a B at least. And I agree that the penalties could stand to be a little steeper, though I think 12-8-5 would be good enough. Maybe now I use my FPC cards more often now without getting Ambre'd a lot. ]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 21:31:03 GMTGil, Sigma, Uranus, Lehane, Elvira, Bristone, Olga, Robb Cr, Leviatonn, Arno, Spiaghi, Artus, Jessie, Mona,Bonnie Ld, Chiara, Lea ."

As far as I know, Artus has never been ELO banned, and Jessie has only been ELO banned a few times (she's a strong 2*, sure, but far from game-breaking.) I don't think Artus and Jessie belong on the list -- but that's just my two cents, it looks pretty good overall.

I would almost say that it might be better if there was a 1 point penalty for Lehane, Elvira, Bristone, Spiaghi, Lea, and Chiara.]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:37:33 GMTelo ban marking?]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:00:01 GMTAmbre and Hugo! i'm a little surprised to see cards like Artus and Lea in group C alongside 3* beasts like Uranus and Robb Cr, it seems you're penalizing a staple or two from pretty much every clan... but hey, -2 points isn't the end of the world, i suppose!

and i'm really looking forward to the changes in the matchmaking system too! separation by star count looks to me very similar to the original T1/T2 room split, which everyone wanted back... except now there will be three different options! anyway, great job! ]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:47:46 GMTWed, 27 Jun 2012 15:48:46 GMTHawk is essentially the same as Jackie Cr as an example).
I still think 2 point penalties are a joke as its far to easy to override the penalty. An A list and B list would have been better, 15 points for A list and 8 points for B list. But as I said at the start, it's a step in the right direction.]]>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:54:03 GMT
About the DT points penalty, here is the system we are going to use :

3 groups of penalties :

A TYPE (10 points) : Guru Cr, DJ Korr Cr, Vickie Cr, Lyse Teria Cr, Alec Cr, Marco Cr, Kiki Cr, Jackie Cr, Zatman, GraksmxxT,Kolos, Ambre, Hugo, General Cr.

B TYPE (5 points) : Striker, Marina, Shann, Naginata, Rolph, Toro, Sylth, Rowdy, Emeth, Oshitsune, Shakra, Ratanah, Wee Lee,Tanaereva Cr, Copper, Hawk, Sledg, Kerry, Eyrik, Eklore, Morphun, Spyke, Caelus Cr, Ghumbo, Yayoi, Askai, Dorian, Cliff,Bogdan, Avola, Blaaster Cr, Lou .

C TYPE (2 points) : Gil, Sigma, Uranus, Lehane, Elvira, Bristone, Olga, Robb Cr, Leviatonn, Arno, Spiaghi, Artus, Jessie, Mona,Bonnie Ld, Chiara, Lea .

The A TYPE groups together the cards considered too powerful (OSK cards for example). We aim to stop the possibility to top with those cards using strong penalties.
The B and C TYPES group together the cards with a high synergy, or high potential, enough to deserve a penalty. We want to ensure that a player playing 2 B TYPE cards as a very hard time to top.
We reserve the right to modify those lists, by adding, removing or moving cards from one TYPE to another.

Also, the points penalties values are not final and can be modified if they don't have the expected impact.

Do not hesitate to give us feedback about this list !

Ps : the "X victories in a row" bonus won't be inserted in this battle points calcuation version.]]>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:24:47 GMTTue, 26 Jun 2012 19:41:07 GMT UR will never do it my way so your (and the majority of our players) "win at all costs" mentality will remain and prevail. What most people have lost sight of is this is a game. It doesn't have any long term value or meaning. You won't get paid more or get more time off work in the real world for being the biggest bad*%# in this game. It's supposed to be entertainment.]]>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:24:20 GMT That is if they ban the actual broken ones, not gimp certain clans by taking away staples like what happened with the ELO bans several months back. And for that reason I'm glad UR is not taking your way.]]>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:26:40 GMTMon, 25 Jun 2012 21:18:51 GMT "That streak bonus makes 4-round games a viable strategy; if you can make 13 win streak you get automatically 20 more points per game - that means DR cards and strategy is now one possible way to victory since winning is much more important. This is not overkill since getting that long streaks is very hard and your bonus is reset on first lose.

This way for example low star skill deck can win in DT even if it plays half the number of games of high star KO deck that can chew sheer number of games and ignore the loses that way."

This does the opposite. If you get +x bonus 20 times it's much better then getting it +x 10 times. What the win streak bonus does is reward you for playing broken cards like Jackie Cr by effectively canceling out the penalty. Winning is important winning fast is still a must for placing high. Just like in DM. Way to steal my avatar BTW.

@ L8RDAYS Losing is and has never been rewarded in DT's. Just losing fast is better then playing slow. It is still the same. Always has always should be. DTs aren't like ELO and thank god for it. ELO's ban list and the fact that a event takes a full week justifies allowing people to play slow. DTs are the opposite anything that rewards slow play has no place. If you like slow draw out games play survivor or ELO and leave DTs and DM to the players who like quick games.

I'm not a fan of the latest changes. Really the system only needed a few tweaks to the -penalties.]]>Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:40:03 GMT
p.s they also do surveys sometimes: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/961354/New-Shop]]>Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:50:20 GMT
It would probably take about 2 minutes of work to make a suggestions thread, and checking it once or twice a week might yield some good results. I figure that can't be a bad thing, right? ]]>Fri, 22 Jun 2012 05:40:22 GMT
you can send suggestions via customer service i believe, and you can always take the feedback from the community first on the forum, so i dont think a suggestions thread is really needed when there is a working system at the moment ]]>Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:07:00 GMTThu, 21 Jun 2012 20:32:38 GMT I've actually heard a lot of players saying this... I know it would take some work to implement but I wanted to support you in saying it would be a great feature. The way I see it, we only get to see a small fraction of the art content in Urban Rivals -- because after a card is max level, it's pretty impractical in this day and age to keep and play "unevolved" versions of it. So this change would allow more players to experience a lot of content that is already in the game!

I personally would love to see a "suggestions" thread as well. These recent changes have shown us that the UR gods have not abandoned us and are willing to listen to some of our suggestions... Why not have a thread where feature/balance suggestions go for official consideration?]]>
