Choosing Your Favorite Map

With the new update sneak peak being shown, I thought why not add a map matchmaking system into the game. For example, you can choose what map you want and don't want to play. However, I think there should be a limit like you have to pick a certain amount of map before you can battle. This way people wouldn't just choose one map for the rest of their time playing battle bay.

 

No, that will lead to less diverse ships and weapons per map.

 

I don't see how that will lead to less diverse ships but the developers could make it so you gain less infamy?

 

It's not like the shooters already took over the bay. 5 to 8 shooters each game, I'm sure that's diverse

 

It will lead to less diverse because people with ships or weapons that have advantages in certain maps will choose those maps, like mortar spammers will only choose maps with open areas...

 

Well then go choose a map with less open areas like wayward and damage depot. The point of this idea is to give people a choice.

 

But there's still the weapon part. And right now there are 5-9 shooters in a game, if this happens there are gonna be 0-2 or 7-10 shooters in a map depending on map. Giving the people the choice to play in which maps they want to makes the matches have less varied ships and weapons because the certain builds that have advantages in certain maps will choose those maps.

 

Like i said make it like less infamy loss and gain. This can balance it out

 

I don't see how certain builds helps out in different maps. In my opinion, As long as you can good with your own custom builds there is no reason why you shouldn't do good on any map. I guess you can say mortars are bad on wayward but the developers made enough room in wayward for mortar users.

 

I think it's a good idea, selective or random choice, the two never have to meet, those that want to still play randomly can or you could switch between the two, would give more experience of individual maps, I think people would be more likely to try out different ships and set ups if they knew what maps were coming... Would lead to more diversity in the core game I feel..

 

I'm not saying that they will win easily, for the other team will most likely have the same tpye of players. What in saying is that it will lead to more repetitive battle versing the same types of players over and over again, making it boring.

 

Well, the normal matchmaking will still exist. You can go play those

 

There shouldn't be two modes that are almost exactly the same. Maybe it can just be a limited time kind of event.

 

Nope bad idea. Some weapons are stronger than others in some maps, like mortars in chill zone or mines in wayward pains. Also some ships are stronger than others in some maps too, like speeders in subzero or shooters in destruct 8. Players only will choose best maps for his/her ship. Im a speeder and if i bored subzero or fight house and wanna play some games in wayward pains im gonna see miner enforcers everywhere or triple sniper cannoner-railguner shooters in destruct 8. Same for you. Because of that it is a bad idea.

 

Finally, someone agrees with me. People were showering me with things that had nothing to do with my point.

 

Like I said there are also down sides to this idea. Less infamy gain and loss. You have to choose a certain amount of map for the matchmaking. For example, you have to pick 3 maps. Then the matchmaking will pick a random one from that map. And if you don't like this kind of matchmaking go play the normal one. It's not like the normal one is even worse. The Shooters have basically taken over the bay.

 

What do you mean nothing to do with your point, I said it makes it more interesting. You're saying it will make it less diverse but it is already less diverse.

 

1. It will make it less interesting because you will face the same players over and over again.
2. It will make it less diverse because right now, even the shooters have different loadouts even thought there are lots of them, but if they get to choose maps they will choose the map that their item works best on so this makes weapons less diverse. And ships. It's not always all shooters in a battle, sometimes there are two or less shooters in a battle.
FYI there was already a thread on this now that I think about it.

 

It isn't a real solution. If the problem is number of shooters, you should look into balance of ships not random map matching. Number of shooters are high than others from begining of the game because basically shooter are more powerful than others in most of situations. I don't saying shooters are OP or there is unfairness. This is a battle game. Your goal is destroy every unfriend ships and you just doing that with using red items. So the problem is shooter ship itself. Game is designed like this, there is nothing to do about that but living with.

 

1. How would you face the same players over and over again if there is over 5 million players playing this game.
2. It is already less diverse and I'm just trying to make this matchmaking more interesting.
