PvP Suggestion

[Dakivid]

Ok so, i have read all suggestions and now will give my opinions.

 

1) Rewards! - We want to change the rewards and the usage of the rewards a bit. This would encourage new PvP-Players to start laddering and it would encourage the top players to ladder more than before.

• Good, useable and unique rewards for the best player on the ladder for each season. - Examples: Special Pokémons, Items, etc.

• Better usage of the PvP-Coins. - (Memberships, Black Medallions, Cheaper Legendary Mounts - (Reducing the prices by around 100 PvP-Coins., etc.)

• Reward players with extremely good W/L-Rates. - Give them extra PvP-Coins, Special and unique items, etc.

 

I agree about the fact that really good players should be rewarded properly, but we may need some math and few lists to analyze things correctly.

I mean that:

- I would like to analyze how much a good pvp player that plays constantly earns (in pvp coins) in one PvP Season. Good pvp player is meant as top25. Not because others are bad pvpers but just because we cannot enlarge prize pool too much for obvious reasons.

- I need few examples of what you mean with "special pokemon, items and such" since we have a act carefully here too. If we boost too much players rewards, we will reach a point where strongest always reach top 25 and sticks there every season, being quite impossible to beat for new or even other good pvpers.

2) Changes to the current PvP-System! - We know, that some of them are probably not able to be added, due to scripting issues etc., but we still decided to put them into the list.

• Forfeit Button - This would stop endless battles or players who get stucked in PvP-Battles, for some reason.

• (OPTIONAL): An option for Guilds to not face each other. - Would stop people to boost other players in their guild. (I know the people can just leave the guild aswell, that's why we decided to put it as optional.)

• Rejoining PvP-Battles. - We don't really know if this is able to be added, but we think that this would be so useful, because random dc's with no reason at all happen pretty frequently and it would be nice if you had around 30 seconds to one minute to rejoin.

 

- Isnt Forfeit Button equal to Disconnecting? (maybe i misunderstand your suggestion)

- The guild thing i dont think is implementable .

- Same for random dcs, i think that if you lose connection, you cant come back in battle, as for wild encounters.

But, the following suggestions would be a great start for a way better PvP-System, at least in out opinion.

• Players don't face others below a big ladder differential. - I know, most of you guys reading this here, have most likely already played PvP and you might even got to ladder. And you probably know aswell, that it's pretty annoying to face a low rating player (1-50 for example) when you have around 300+ Rating. That's why we think that this has to be changed.

• (OPTIONAL): Rating decay over time. - We put this as optional, because we got a lot of different opinions about this. Basically, this means that you drop ratings if you haven't played PvP in for example 5 days.

 

- If a player with low rating has "luck" or skills to beat another one with high rating, it's something we may keep in my opinion. Same goes with match between players with big distances in ladder.(read next line with some epic music running and imagine an echoed voice reading this) This makes ladder more dynamic and if you are the best, you have to be the best versus every player. And if you want to be the best, you have to beat everyone and climb ladder as a true hero! :Cool:

3) Fixing the most annoying bugs! (OPTIONAL) - For some of them it was already said, that they aren't that easy to fix, because it is very hard to code it. We added them just in case they might be able to be changed in the future.

• Adding or Fixing Moves like: Pursuit (Doesn't get extra damage when Pokémon are switched out), Volt Switch/U-Turn (You have to select your switch-in before the move deals damage)

• Choice Item Bugs:

1) Choice Scarf has to be activated before it gets the speed boost

2) Choice Specs/Band critical hits deal the same damage as hits without a crit.

• Dry Skin: Scald burns the target with Dry Skin, although the target gets healed.

 

• Requested Abilities/Moves to be fixed/coded:

1) Mold Breaker

2) Drain Punch

3) Overcoat

4) Liquid Ooze

5) Healing Wish

6) Clear Smog

7) Encore

8) Unaware

• Requested Items to be added:

1) Rocky Helmet

 

Since i am not a scripter, neither i am that good in coding things, i cannot give you answers right now, but i will take note of these items and will look for solutions/answers for you all guys.

For sure some of them will not be possible to fix or code, but if there is something that can be coded and our meta would take benefits from it, we are willing to add in game :Shy:

This would be the whole suggestion from NoMercy and myself. I hope we get some opinions about this post or new suggestions from you guys.

 

I want to thank the following people who helped me with this here out: YuronLee, ThePokeMaestro, Heroofthestreet, njnp, Jorogumo, Belzebel, sgt bianco, Drigor, CrownOfHaxorus and teerav. Please remind me if i forgot anyone.

 

Thank you for reading. :thanks:

 

Thanks for your and your friends time writing down this suggestion list and thanks to everyone giving feedbacks in comments above (and future ones)!

 

Rewards:

• Good PvPers, or PvPers who play alot get on average around 250 PvP Coins a season. Could be inaccurate though.

• Special Pokemon/Rewards like low Tier Shinies, Decentish PvP Pokemon (they don't even have to be godly, because I know a lot of people who do really well with having only decent Pokemon), Recoloured Pokemon (X-Mas Pokemonish, or like the Halloween Pika, they would be nice to have and unique) With this the rewards would still be balanced, at least in my opinion.

 

Changes to the system:

• As Tr3y already said, some battles are impossible to win at a certain time and it would be nice if we get a forfeit button instead of disconnecting or wasting up to half an hour with selecting random moves.
  The other things I mentioned will most likely not be able to be added aswell, I thought so myself.

 

• If I lose to a player to random RNG, or if he is just better than me I don't even complain. But it is annoying if you dc for no reasons (yes, this occures from time to time to almost everyone), although your Internet and everything else works fine, and you lose 40ish points for this. Thats why we thought it would be pretty nice if we had something like that queue-system.

 

New items/moves/abilities:

• I have no idea how to code myself, but we were just adding some moves/etc. we thought would be pretty nice. We know aswell, that most of this is very hard to add.

 

I hope I made my suggestion clearer now, and I'd still love to see other suggestions from the community. I'd also love to see some more opinions from the staff here.

I agree, adding the missing moves, fixing the broken ones and adding Spectating feature is the top priority imo.

If you need people to coad your game i can ask some friends who are studying it :)
