In Response To: Re: So you guys want specifics on game design eh.. (Hawaiian Pig)


: I'm in agreement with much of what you and Wu said. I understand it's
: particularly unavoidable, and I'm aware that the current distribution is
: more like my Figure 3. My curves began with a perfect normalization just
: to show the characteristics of the transoformations I thought would occur.
: Basically, I think gameplay changes in the direction I propose would serve
: to further amplify those transformations.

: In any case, the problem that lies here with mismatches is a result of
: accurately determining player skill, and not with the gameplay itself.
: This is the point I was trying to get at, I suppose.

: The most obvious solution, to me, would be to keep track of a global rank
: across playlists; because it is true, when I hop into Big Team or
: something I don't often play, it's a cakewalk. With a proper global
: ranking system, I'd imagine matchmaking would benefit. In fact, this is
: such a simple solution, I'm curious as to why Bungie hasn't implemented
: it. No doubt they've thought about it.

: If this system were to be properly implemented, the only problems that would
: persist would be with new account creation. It's certainly unavoidable
: and, I think, the biggest problem. It's pretty often that I'll run into
: guys in MLG playlists who have something like 500 games played and 498
: games won; clearly a new account created to dong.

: I think the question is: is the problem of new accounts significant enough to
: allow the gameplay to suffer (or, in better terms, keep the gameplay from
: reaching its potential)?

: I guess I don't know the answer to that.

When you make a game to accommodate the lesser skilled players, more lesser skilled players play. And when you have a a large group of lesser skilled players, you have a larger group of good players to wail on them. Why? Because it's simply more fun. Also, to a lesser extent, sigma decrease in the TruSkill system which leads to a perceived rank lock.

I know I enjoy going 53-0 against new players with AR starts on Valhalla.
