BlueB 35 Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Actually... getting gold is so easy that im concerned that silvers still existing. Problem is not matchmaking, its the lack of players. That massive merge will create ping issues, load screens all the time and im calling that teh end... unless fc survives, it will be filled and emptied eventually.

Kiida 455 Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Oh please. Also.. you won. Why are you complaining about not being able to call backup in a clearly balanced mission? Edited July 16, 2019 by Kiida 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matchmaker value numbers quite high and player skill quite low. In my opinion 2 medium threat silvers is "worth" roughly as much as 1 medium threat gold That for example a match-up with 1 gold and 2 silver vs 2 gold would be a "fair". Matchmaker disagrees and would give the 2 gold backup (not really needed!) 5 hours ago, CookiePuss said: Remember there are 10 levels of the different colors.

It may be easy for you and I, but that's just anecdotal. considering it’s possible to get gold without ever firing a weapon and at one point a player with no hands was consistently gold, i think it’s safe to say the threshold is relatively low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bishada8800 22 Posted July 16, 2019 1 hour ago, CookiePuss said: lol... you may have added an extra zero there m8 You are maybe thinking about the 30 visible threat levels we had back during RTW times...? But no, behind the scenes (in the code) it used to be 300 threat levels. This was then split into 30 "visible" levels client side (bronze 1-10, silver 1-10 and gold 1-10) which was then, later, changed into just 4 visible levels (green, bronze, silver and gold) but behind the scenes, in the code, it have always been 300 unique internal threat levels that matchmaker used to gauge individual skill level (unless I remember incorrectly and unless it changed recent years).

There is a much bigger difference between high gold and low gold than a low gold and a high silver. The first two gold you were matched against were probably very very skilled (and either you or your partner or both of you are close to silver). In the second match-up you probably got a silver player that is about to become gold and the two you faced where probably close to silver.

Welp, i guess silver is only for dethreat. and for OP you win, most of the time backup a clear win will become a loss.. or it only to me edit: but those 8vs8 mission are fun asf!
