Warner Bros Multiversus - Another Fucking Smash Clone

Gender: Xenomorph said:
You've realized how they introduced 2 new currencies (circuit drones and medals), right?

I've been thinking; as a new player, this game must be a bitch to get in. You want to do events? You have to unlock a character and then you get to unlock a random skin drop from the event to a random character which you may of may not have. No freebies, you gotta work for that shit, boye! Each pack of skins costs 1000g, or 500g for single skin (500g is $4), characters cost $10 EACH... Can you even do anything in this game without a $500 investment? Again, no freebies unless you grind or pay. Skins are really ugly to; be it a shirt or a recolor.

It's not bots/people throwing matches. It's disconnects; when you dc, the game remembers your last input direction and your character just walks in that direction.

Shit servers PLUS no disconnect detection/pause/catchup feature PLUS shitty netcode/poor optimization EQUALS a really shit multiplayer engine.

I've been getting it too, especially as of late.

No, there are definitely throwers and afk players. I dont have recording but i played a lot this weekend and i noticed two things that happened often enough to be not be a coincidence

-In 2v2, if players actually decide to wait or do a fair 1v1, the "disconnected" player will suddendly start moving and throw a few punches before standing still again.
-In Free for all i've seen multiple players don't attack at all and simply walk into a punch and proceed to suicide so the match ends faster. I played 4 matches in a row against a bugs that did this.

Throwing is also a legit "farming strategy" because if you lose dozens of times in a row the game will force you into a bot match and the bots will rematch you forever letting you farm pvp wins against them.

They need to put a griefer penalty in the game but they know the servers are too bad to enforce it as its impossible to tell if someone is AFK/throwing or disconnected.

The second event seemed to be way easier to gain xp for, but maybe that’s just me. Seems like a lot of the side stuff has been easier to knock out. I typically only play like an hour at most a day, but can clear out the dailies and everything pretty quick.

I’m not going near Ranked because I fully admit I am a casual player.

I've been on the recieving end of both of those crashes and I can attest that some of them (most of them) are mishandled disconnects. In some instances, I saw the match running in fast forward (trying to catch-up) for a whole 5 minutes while I could not do anything.

I've been playing Ranked and I have some observations:
* It's hilarious how whack the balance is. Some characters have only 1-2 viable moves (looking at lebron who's only KO move requires an ally and setup) while others have generous kits. A lot of balance issues are poor hitboxes, bad frame data or just useless mechanics, which never get addressed in balance patches. Instead arbitrary numbers are changed without addressing the issue.
* I don't like the armor mechanic it feeds more into my previous point. It's either annoying or completely useless, depending on the opponents character. They can have good reliable armor breaking moves, or moves that go well with armor breaking mode, but most armor breaking moves are shit moves that have been slapped with armor break, but are still hard to pull off or punish, making them useless.
* Not a fun of dodge bars and how they work. If you run out of dodge resource your dodges are useless and you can just get killed. Dodge is unreliable as is, but this makes it really unsatisfying to use. I get it that they wanted to punish dodgespammers but that's meta because there's no punishment after dodging like in Smash.

But yea I'm pretty much out. Tired of grinding easy tier bots and shit quality matches. AoE2 can handle 400 pop for 1h, why can't this game handle 4p matches?

Do you play free for all? Cause it happens way to often to be disconnects, it can only be AFK players and even the devs are aware.

They actually changed the FFA daily mission to do damage today

But it doesnt matter because most people AFK to farm the event credits anyway. It's hilarious that the game's so grindy it makes people go AFK instead of playing. 90% of the time it's the morty or rick player with the 20XL skin too.

I'm playing the game right now and my first FFA match has an afk player.

The weekly reset gave me more missions so i'll at least get 17k for the rick skin and do dailies with bots until i clear the battlepass that i already bought for the Jack skin then it's joever for a while.
 
This game is doing the "CoD matchmaking" thing and it's super obvious.

Like, you win 2 games, third game is always a rare skin player who is obviously 3 tiers higher in matchmaking. Yea bro, like I'm sure the guy who can link 10 attacks together and can 0>80 me without me landing a hit is the same rank as the Gizmo who can't string 2 attacks together.

Pretty sure whales have frame data advantage. Like it's not just skill, both attacks on both characters connect and he somehow is unaffected.

Status update: Game's literally unplayable:
Regular games are filled with afkers/throwers
Ranked matchmaking ranks bronze V with platinum V players.

The game actually matchmakes using players hidden MMR based on universal winrate (?) instead of actual rank, meaning Ranked itself is useless because you'll get the same matchmaking you get on casuals anyway (except everyone is tryharding).

It's because this is the only game i know that separates ranked rank PER CHARACTER and not by account, meaning you can theorically be Grandmaster with Batman and Bronze V with Joker. The game has to ignore this discrepance and simply use hidden MMR.

The FGC, especially the 3D fighting game communities, were infamous for holding frame data from everybody else until the game wasn't popular anymore (So "pros" can keep winning their money and weed). This happened with Soul Calibur 2 when a forum mod purposely hogged frame data to himself and certain "pros," so they could win tournaments in and out of SoCal. I'm not surprised if "pros" or "whales" have data nobody else has, so they look good in the EEESPORTZ scene.

Bleeding players due to burnout.

Suckers, if they don't play 2 days they will miss the skin event and be unable to 100% their battlepass and seasonal events.

This game has a really toxic relationship with its players lol. You're not allowed to leave. You're not allowed to play under 8hrs. You're not allowed to have fun. This is a job.

They released a new video teasing season 3 with the powerpuff girls and some character I don't know. The video is a cringe inducing 90's commercial.

My guess is it's a House of the Dragon character:

Tried looking at Dune, Lord of the Rings, Aquaman, none of the characters look anything like her: I'm beat.

But yea I really think people are getting burnt out from the aggressive monetization in this game.

I tried keeping up with the BattlePass/Events, bjuut the events are unbeatable unless you spend money. Battlepass was barely doable but end of season event filtered me: I have nly half of the shit and I hate how ugly the recolors look. Not gonna pay 5$ for a pallet swap doe ccome on
 
The comments are saying it's Nubia, a DC character that is essentially a nigger Wonder Woman.
