Had i lost to a player with 1st game , i would have lost 30+ points .... No. Your Elo k-factor is 20, so you cannot lose more than 20 points. In this case, specifically, your Elo was 288 and theirs was 0 so you would have lost ~16.2 points. Their k-factor, for their first 10 games, is 40, so they w...

Is it normal to get the 2nd and 3rd winter cards back to back, it happened twice today. Why would the designers make such a game design, there's no point to the 2nd winter card if this keeps happening. Normal? No. Possible? Sure. To have it happen twice in a day is very unusual, but when you consid...

Do the playing hours you see update based on your time zone or is it just set by the initial user? Others have answered, so I will just point out that if you ever have doubts, there's a quick and easy test: change the timezone of your device. (Manually changing the clock won't work; you have to cha...

Arena ranking does not just move one increment at a time. I've jumped 20 or more at a time in some games. You started this thread (three months ago) with the claim that your blowout victory should have gotten you a bigger boost in your rankings. All I have ever said in this thread is that the magni...

I looked through the list of bug reports containing the word "players" and didn't see a report about this. You should probably open one there; this is a player forum and the devs are not guaranteed to pay any attention here.

As far as being "puzzled" by this.... it's been studied by academics as well as those in the industry. Have you read up on it, or are you just assuming your personal anecdotes and gut feelings are all there is to know? And that you're smarter than all those executives at very successful c...

There seems to be some dreadful if/then logic behind the randomness. You can get a BGA Studio developer account and look at the source code for most (if not all) of the games. You’ll see there is no such ”if/then logic behind the randomness”. The game code asks the framework for two random numbers ...

I suspect they created a new account because I'm seeing similar shenanigans If their shenanigans are reportable, report the new account (and in the report you might mention the old account?) If their shenanigans aren’t reportable, red-thumb and move on. Either way there’s no point in calling out th...
