So if I understand how this will work, the players in the gold league will only play in missions with players in the gold league, the players in the silver league will only play missions against players in the silver league etc.? I think that would create a problem with a lot of solo missions in my opinion so I don't think that would work that well.
Took a complete break from excel over Christmas. Will collate what data I have and send it in. Have asked others to do the same.
Whilst there is some concern over the figures as discussed here, to all those who are having negative feelings about the mismatched missions and I did too when I first started playing, I have a suggestion or two:
- If you're a low level player remember that all of those above you were once in that position. Whether or not they are gold buyers doesn't matter. They have been playing longer than you and have earned the right to have an advantage. Your turn will come. As has been said often in the forum, it is those gold buyers who keep the game free for those who don't buy.
- Very often, the higher level players shelve on 0 leaving you with a chance to win a mission. Mind you, you would be better off if they scored even a small amount.
- Take the time to learn more about missions and work out various strategies. As I said, I used to think it was unfair until I took time to study them. I looked at the higher level players farms and asked myself "what is different about their farms to mine?" The player who just beat me has 5 fields ands I only have 3 - maybe I need to have 5 too! Think about pre-mission preparation, about timing, what resources you have, etc.. Suddenly, I found myself winning missions and often beating those much higher level players. Now, depending on what my overall game strategy is, I don't care about winning but more to getting in as many good missions as I can but very happily accept a good win when it happens.
- Playing missions is not all about reputation points but more about how they tie in with other aspects of your game. Valuable for your Co-op in the CC's, certificates to help build your Garage Tractors, points toward WWC events. You gain so much more out of them then just winning a mission. Some missions will be "Quality over quantity" whilst other missions will be "Quantity over quality".
- Work hard towards building the Stackmaster in your garage. One day, it will become your best friend.
- I now view the high level players as a great challenge and I get a lot of personal gratification out of beating them in closely fought contests. Doesn't always happen, but oh what a feeling. By the same token, there is no pleasure in dumping on lower level players just because you can. I'm guilty of doing that, but there is a reason for it as I mentioned before. CC's, WWC, etc.. When there is nothing to gain and I come up against lower level players in a mission, I will quite often drop just enough product to leave a small challenge and shelve the mission.
Good luck out there farmers....formula should be player 1 (P1) score + P2 + P3 + P4 + P5 + P6 / 6 then formula added depending on your place.
P1x100%
P2x80%
P3x70% etc can't remember the exact %age given to us on post
This is how being against high level players would effect your RP received. This is NOT the case as we have been told for a long time
@WascallyWabbit @WiseWing @CM_Hunter
I myself do very few mission, but I do see the problem and agree with low level players complaint.
Yes they should never have the same amount if other are effecting RP, as no way every mission will give same total amount of item harvested, for total of those competing. If they want it to be fair like they said it was they need to use a formula like mine where other player harvest will effect the RP given as they said it does.
With my formula, low level players would be hoping to be in mission with high level players and high level players would be hoping only to have other high level players in with them. It should be average of the players who have SCORE points and then formula put to the placings
Also doing 0 then would be very silly
Ok. That is good to know that there is a lot of other proof for this. I have been starting to collect information as well, but it will take me a while to get enough to make any conclusions.
Maybe what they could do is group players by their total reputation point amount, so that they should hopefully play against players that would get similar amounts in missions. But I don't think that it is possible to always avoid missions that have higher level and lower level players since sometimes I end up waiting 5 minutes for a mission and I end up in a 2 or 3 player mission. I don't think that it's good in those scenarios, for example, for me to shelve with nothing and then they end up getting very few reputation points.
The screenshots above are an example of what is happening in my missions at the moment. In each mission, I only harvested half of my duck coops and I got over 100k reputation points from both missions combined, but I imagine that most of those lower level players would be stuck in that mission for half an hour without a good chance to try and get a good ranking in the mission while receiving a low amount of reputation points for their effort.
I got the same results when I collected statistics a couple of years ago.
The sole exception is if you are the only active participant in the mission, the RP is calculated as if you got 3rd place.
@Byron Longford (AU1)
Producing 0 in a mission only works as long as everybody but the winner does the same. If a 2nd player in the mission produces the minimum quantity, sitting the mission out will not affect the winners RP.
You are a cruel person inflicting all those eggs on lower levels....
Got to give Goodbobby a lot of credit for getting what he got. Probably cost him some purple. Hope you sparkled his farm!!!
Oh, I see. I didn't know that they only have 2 duck coops, which does mean that they probably used some seaweed feed as you mentioned. Unfortunately I didn't know that and I didn't gift their farm. But I usually do when I am against someone in a 2 player mission.
Hehe... I did say it tongue in cheek in reference to my earlier rant and I will often gift some sparkles if they are the right level. If not, I try and send a quick message wishing them luck in the game.
By the way, thanks for all your postings on things like the Viking Farm. Very helpful information. GGS really should collate all the good information and put it in a section that is easy for people to find and utilise.
You're welcome. I have been working on trying to get a large amount of helpful information into one place, but I haven't added that much yet. I think that it would be good to work on a guide like that for the candy farm as well but I haven't had enough time to make one this time.
I am also happy to try to help you with any other events or anything else if you have any questions about them.
