Board Game Arena

I have been a BGA premium member for I believe four years. Recently I decided not to renew for a few months because I had a lot of work to do, thought better reduce playing a bit. Now, they are pestering me with 'please renew' notices. It's not just 'please renew', but they actually BLOCK MY GAME fo...

I hope you made improvements to Arena points and matching algorythms. Current system hugely discourages playing by the top players... We're all in the elite league, so there are NO *bad* players around. Even if differences in skill were 90:10, the luck element means one in five games will be impossi...

This makes NO SENSE. How are people who are by BGA judged to be 11:1 odds playing in the same league??? Just played R4G in the elite league, won 3 points then against the same player lost 36 (by one VP, terrible hand). If you REALLY expect 11:1 odds, we should NOT be playing in the same league. This...

I still think the Arena ELO points are waay to unbalanced. Differences between players within one league (e.g. Elite) are MUCH smaller than implied by points awarded. I can loose 36 points and gain only 4 (happened!) against a very decent player - no way anybody can beat them 10:1 in a reasonable nu...

League doesn't matter, the Arena Elo Score matters...the 1600 and 1850. An Elo difference of 250 means you are expected to win 81% of the time. So your ratio of gains will be 81:19 or ~4.3:1 So you should gain ~8 (you gained 9 EAS, not sure where the 5 came from...maybe from your Elo gain which was...

How is this fair? Just played Race4G against an opponent in the same league; he had 1600 points, I had 1850. I won one game, got 5 points. Lost one, lost 32 points. 6:1 in the same league doesn't seem fair.

Same here. And I don't want to play with 3 levels down - risking 30 points to get 2-3.

Yeah, and I've been waiting for Race 4G - nothing, and it's supposed to be a popular game.

OK, I really resent the random time mode. The fixed time intervals were so much better because I played interesting games against opponents on my level. I've tried filtering the level in the current system (i.e. only play with your own level or +/- 1), but have not gotten a single game in about 1.5 ...

I was skeptical at first, but love the new setup. I get matched with my own level, so no more +2 if cards are random or I get a lucky draw, -36 if a bronze gets a lucky draw.
