[SUGGESTION] Apb Matchmaking

[Skillzor]

Goodmorning guys,
do you think that it would be right to change the matchmaking?

In the 2011's in Apb there was the threat level made by Realtime world:



After an update by Gamersfirst, the actual threat level is:

This new threat level has 4 "colours" green, bronze, silver and gold. But the icon of the level isn't your threat level, but the Reputation level.
This means that your threat level is based only on 4 levels of colors and 26 levels of your reputation (not influential in matchmaking).

The old threat level was based on 30 levels of your threat, without including your reputation. The reputation was used only for increased your experience with the game between the weapons, weapon modifications, player modifications, vehicles modification, vehicles and equipments.

What does it mean?
It means that a player R120 with Gold threat Level 8 could be much stronger than a player R255 Gold threat level 1.
So, with the old threat level, the matchmaking will be balance, because a player R70, silver threat level 10, will found, for example, an enemy R180 silver threat level 8, and this will be fair.
How I can say that?
I can because the old threat level is divided by 30 different levels, and it's so hard to increase/decrease your level.
With the new threat, more and more player can take gold without difficulty and the silver threat is like the old bronze threat.
In the game only 10% of the players are green and only 20% of players are bronze, so this new threat level is useless in matchmaking and new players can not get into the dynamics of the game just because of the threat level. 

I think that we need an official survey by the staff (Vote poll on the top of topic).

Regards,
Skillzor.

Your first image is actually one of the older versions of Reloaded's threat systems. Realtime Worlds used a completely different system that only had fifteen threat levels.

if only you actually knew how the different threat systems worked.

I remember that in 2011's the thread level of apb was this. I prefer this.

We still use that, only diffrence is that instead of displaying your rank as gold lvl 1 or 10 it simply shows it as gold.

With the old thread you know that you will always have to improve. This is much more engaging.

Firstly as stated already the old threat you are talking about is the previous G1 system which really is not that different from what we have now.

Secondly your entire post is completely wrong, underneath it all is still the same elo/glicko/mmr rating system that is your actual threat level. What the colours/numbers are a top of that regardless of if its the new/current/old version of threat is just a graphical representation to show a rough estimate. Going back to the old system does not actually change how matchmaking handles threat, just how it is shown to players.
