As some of you may know, we have a separate “Invite Only” category here on the forums called “Active Players Lounge”. There isn’t much discussion there, but I like to use it to ask feedback about some of the things we’re planning.
There are multiple ways you can get an invitation, such as:
Reaching the Top-100 and staying there for a while
Leading an alliance that gets to the Top-100 and stays there
Being active here on the forums by writing good, coherent posts.
I thought I would add one more way as an experiment. If you want to apply for a “Fast Pass” to the Active Player Lounge, please fill out this form explaining in your own words how the current War Matchmaking works, and what you personally think are the pros and cons of that system.
We will read through every application, and if we’re especially impressed by what you wrote, we’ll invite you to the lounge!
I don’t think this answer is going to get me admitted to the secret club, so you get it here:
You never explained properly how Matchmaking works. Important parts have been left out.
There’s no fun in trying to guess about something that doesn’t work very well, and also missing parts of information. Well, at least for me.
IMHO, from now on: Wars are broken a lot deeper than matchmaking. Lots of players seem to think that matchmaking by pitting very similar alliances is going to improve something. I think if the matchmaking worked well in that regard other deeper problems will become obvious. So, frankly, I’ve hoped all this time you’ve been posting updates that at least some at SG understand this and that’s why you guys have not been in a hurry to fix something which wasn’t that difficult to fix in the first place.
i know this is not the point of point of the thread, so apologies for derailing the topic, but do you guys ever intend to open the beta applications again?
Well, Mhalttu, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten yourself in to. The label “Active Player” is dead wrong. Every player using all the allotted flags plus flasks and takes part in events is an active player.
Your target seems to be all those playets who have abandoned this “Community” forum for their own alt E&P websites.
