MMATycoon Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I've been told that opening the island's next season on Feb 1st will screw up this current ID restricted orgs. What are people's thoughts on starting 1st Feb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyel Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 That it would screw up 370k ID orgs. In particular, because the island takes a lot of fighter slots from the mainland through ID movement, so Island starting now will severerely descrease the fighter pool for 370 - 375k. Imo the best time to start would be 1st March - IDs will then be ~373k, and the island will thus cannibalize roughly equally both from 370k pool and 375k pool, which is optimal (the island's id range is roughly 6k, judging by the last island, but the brunt of the impact is at the season's start). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsquirrel Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 What we try to measure: The training time a fighter had What we do measure: How many fighters were created before this one A 369K fighting a 371K is not the same as a 370K fighting a 372K. Make fighter creation date visible on the profile, searchable etc. and you can run Island whenever you want. Yes it would hurt 370K orgs as Island always does by reducing the finite pool of recruitable fighters for the id range. Only way to not do that would be to wait until late in the current id range.. but going down that route would mean irregular timing for Island seasons with sometimes long waits for those who enjoy that part of the game. So pick your poison. Or add creation date 5K fighters are plenty enough for several orgs to do well on. The problem with Island taking out a number of them is not the amount in itself. It is the appearance of larger id gaps that is created when done early in the range. Say we are at 372999, then throw the whole 373K range into a black hole (the island). The next fighter created 374000 is now identical to 372999 in terms of training time despite a 1K id difference. But this difference is not transparent to players so for most creating new fighters will always be less attractive the later in the range the current id is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsieur.Camara Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Island eats fast around 2K IDs because you can sack faster. Instead of focusing on a date I think it would be better to look at ID turn. I would launch the next one either at (or around) 374k or 377k Either one would be good imo Regardless thanks for listening Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are people's thoughts on starting 1st Feb? Start on the 1st. All the ID orgs effected will be in the same boat. No one will be given an advantage. Let the owners adjust their strategy accordingly. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
