Opponent's level in arena mode

Post by Tuomi »

Is it possible to add preferences in arena mode so that you can restrict players also based on their actual elo level, like in normal games (strong players, good players etc.)? Usually players high in normal elo are also high in arena level.

Restricting players to only elite players are useless as there are so many 1400-1500 level "elite" players. It is so frustrating to play dozens of unsurprising games where you get only 4 points from win and a lot of minus points if you don't win. You don't get excited from win and getting minus 33 points from game where you got bad card distribution is very frustrating.

It's funny how this arena mode feels like the games before arena, but only so that you are forced to play with intermediate (100-200 elo) players also. :roll:

Exactly... I saw your name and knew it was about 7 wonders :)
I made a similar post here , where already some other 7w players have posted as well.

For a popular game like 7 wonders, Arena mode (for sure the last month) just isnt competetive anymore and there is no way to avoid playing with weaker players.
Playing 'simple' game where you can restrict on ELO is more competetive.

Not saying there is anything wrong with playing vs players with low ELO, but the purpose of Arena being the competetive mode get's totally lost for a popular game like 7wonders.
