Developer's Briefing #1

[Guest]

---

This is the Combat Arms Reloaded Development Team Manager. It is a pleasure to make this first announcement to you all. In the future, we would like to share the Development progress and future direction with users through Development Briefings.

Until now, the development team has been focused on minimizing the inconvenience caused by the Service transfer and migration. For our next task along with this, we are planning to improve the “Match” portion which we believe is currently giving the most inconvenience to play.

Matchmaking focuses on equality and lacks flexibility and latency in Matching. On the other hand, Custom matches focus on the degree of freedom and creates a match environment unfair to new users. So we have been thinking of ways of which the matchmaking could benefit from the combination of the two forms.

1. For Custom match, provide an indicator/stats based on the level of the players or room level so that the players can refer to it when selecting a room.
2. For matchmaking, provide a “Quick Join” button giving the ability to immediately enter a starting or waiting game room most similar to the player's level.

In other words, Matchmaking will only be applied to ranked matches, and would no longer be available for normal matches. However, there will be a quick join feature in the Custom Match that enhances fairness and displays levels to finds rooms best fit for the players

We understand that there is a lot disappointment and frustration from the existing reloaded version and the abrupt migration. However, I would like to assure you that we have a clear vision for the future direction of Combat Arms Reloaded. Thank you for your patience and we hope that you will stick around and join us in this improvement progress.

We will do our best every day in order to provide a better game. Thank you.

An unsere Combat Arms Nutzer
Hier ist der Combat Arms Reloaded-Entwicklungsteam-Manager. Es ist mir eine Freude, diese erste Ankündigung machen zu dürfen. Wir möchten den Entwicklungsfortschritt und die zukünftige Richtung mit Euch teilen.

Bislang konzentrierte sich unser Team darauf, die durch den Servicetransfer verursachten Unannehmlichkeiten zu minimieren. Wir planen, Match-System zu verbessern, weil wir glauben, dass dadurch derzeit die meisten Unannehmlichkeiten verursacht werden.

Matchmaking konzentriert sich auf Gleichheit und mangelt an Flexibilität. Daher wird Wartezeit beim Matching verursacht. Angepasstes Match konzentriert sich auf Flexibilität. Daher wird eine unfaire Spielumgebung für neue Benutzer geschaffen. Wir haben also ausgedacht, wie wir das Matchmaking durch die Kombination der beiden Formen verbessern könnte.

Unten sind die Möglichkeiten:

1. Indikatoren bzw. Statistiken, die das Niveau des Wartezimmers und des Spielers basierend auf dem Augepassten Match zeigt, anbieten, so dass Ihr einen Hinweis bekommen könnt, wenn Ihr ein Wartezimmer auswählt.
2. Für das Matchmaking eine Schaltfläche für "Schnellbeitritt" anbieten, sodass Ihr sofort einen Raum oder ein Wartezimmer betreten könnt, der/das dem Level des Spielers am ähnlichsten ist.

Mit anderen Worten, Matchmaking wird nur auf Ranglistenspiele angewendet und wird für normalen Match nicht mehr verfügbar sein. Es wird jedoch eine Schnellstart-Funktion für Angepasstes Spiel geben, die das Niveau anzeigt, sodass Ihr einen Raum finden könnt, die am besten zu Eurem Niveau passt.

Uns ist bewusst, dass die reloaded Version und der abrupte Transfer Sorgen verursacht hat. Wir möchten Euch jedoch versichern, dass wir eine klare Vision für die zukünftige Ausrichtung von Combat Arms Reloaded haben. Vielen Dank für Eure Geduld und wir hoffen, dass Ihr uns eine Chance gebt.

Wir werden unser Bestes geben, um Euch ein besseres Spiel zu bieten. Vielen Dank.

@Cryonize The best thing is to keep working on Reload. redo the interface to look more like old combat arms. If you ask in a poll, you will see that this is the main issue why people want classic. Its the GUI and UI interface in reload that's counter productive. Change the GUI/UI in reload and you will see better response from the community.

I strongly agree.

I agree the UI needs to be changed, but I like the aesthetic. The UI needs to be made more user-friendly and have bigger buttons.

Also, please reimplement 8x anti-aliasing for the Classic graphics engine. It looks terrible right now and I don't like the Reloaded engine.

Agree about UI but u should make Clan War elimination pro all maps like before at least add oil rig most populat map i dont know if u noticed nowbody plays CW anymore its because of that if u add Elimination pro i quarantee more people would play reloaded

Thanks for the update, but in order to keep Reloaded alive I really think the UI should be top Priority. Please reallocate all the dev teams effort into the UI its the most glaring issue in the game right now.

For Custom match, provide an indicator/stats based on the level of the players or room level so that the players can refer to it when selecting a room.
For matchmaking, provide a “Quick Join” button giving the ability to immediately enter a starting or waiting game room most similar to the player's level.

What "level" are you guys talking about? Player skill or character rank? If it's about rank then your new system won't achieve anything since rank is not a good indicator for player skill. If it's about player skill then how do you want to masure it? KDR is not a good indicator since a noob farmer will ultimatly end up with a higher KDR then a pro player who mostly plays against other pro players regardless of how good the noob farmer actually is by comparison (same with W/L ratio btw). I guess you could use some machine learning algorithms to gauge someone's skill level, that could work but I doubt you guys are willing to develop a sufficiently advanced system for something that might not even be that big of a concern for you.

I would like to assure you that we have a clear vision for the future direction of Combat Arms Reloaded.

I'm looking forward to it, I just hope this vision includes new content and most importantly making "customizable rooms" more customizable.
