I bought this game today and I'm already Rank or Level 5 and it sucks to go up against Level 200's as a beginner. It would be a nice addition to newer players like me who are looking to have fun, not to alt+f4 because some basement dwelling wallhacker killed them from across the map (might be over exaggerated but still)

Vote ✅ if you too would want to see this in the game

battlebits per match player size makes skill based match making an incredibly poor fit.

The general match size, of 127 v 127 means you would have to wait for over 200 hundred level 1 - 10s. If you only implimented the experience for 10 levels, that is on average not going to be enough time to acclimate to the current game vs those basement dwellers with hunreds of hours. If you create more skill division you further fracture the player base, making it harder and harder to find a game to play for everyone involved.

#

Skill based match making has an insane amount of iterations and implimentations, the amount of time, resources and testing that would be required to impliment into a game that does not support it is.. kind of a waste.

#

So no. No skill based match making

further proving my point on why suggestions need to be role gated

battle bit does suck as a new player, but skill based match making is not the resolution.

There are more suggestions from "tenured" players that are dumb as hell than there are new players.

Tbf a bunch of “shit flinging” suggestions and duplicates would be cut down if even on a simple level people agreed to rules before getting a role that would allow them to post

Yes, adding barriers to entry slows it down but it does not stop it. Instead of gate keeping the suggestion forum in attempts to make the game better, comment on the things you dont like, ask devil to clean up the duplicates and move on.

Yeah you beat me to it this is already a dupe anyways

Fair, but im going to close this out with:

Any server that’s level gated will be deemed useless in a month. Sure we have a surge of new people but its because of the sale

#

It’s just a waste of resources long term. Servers aren’t cheap

Plus lower server size

#

forgot to include that

Still wont change the fact that the demand will never be enough from new people, even if it’s as low as 32 v 32

Changing the tiers does not alter the fundamental issue with implementing a system like that. Skill based match making does not fit in a large scale battlefield style game. There are a slew of changes coming to make the new player experience better with the existing hosting/player routing.

#

Skill based match making is not the solution.

If we get a consistent boom of new players, sure I can see it. But as I mentioned before in convos like this, bbr doesn’t have that outside of sales

#

And even during sales I’d argue it’s bad to do this as it doesn’t always give a good impression of the game, something often better portrayed by experienced people teaching new people
