What's being done about the Invisibles?

[Nicko]

Posting this thread because this issue of Invisible players is going into its second week.

Last week several players were deprived of Skillshards because "Invisible" players started filling some top spots.

JAWolf #7? That means Fallen Angel missed out on some prizes.

Andinho - a level 55 player - is number 12? That means Ringe missed out on a skillshard.

And as I look at the rankings tonight...

JAWolf #1
Ludorockeur #2
DrivenbyFate #3
Stormcrow379 # 7

I don't think there has been enough of an uproar about this. It's not cool.

Developers - players are investing their resources in a competition where rewards are being forfeited due to this bug. What's the status?

I know the official word is "we've investigated and the attack ratios look normal". I'm sorry - that's crazy. Either the wrong numbers were examined or these guys are getting attacked by level one players. I see all the usual competitors like GMAC, Bradata, DaveMurray etc rise and fall daily. But not the Invisibles.

Something is wrong here and I think it needs to become high-priority for a fix.

So where are we in the problem solving process?

And I'll add - as has been mentioned in other posts on this topic - this is absolutely not a gripe about those players. They're simply playing. This is all on the developers.

Agree that this is BS. Maybe the ratios are fine but like you said they might be only facing level 20 to 30 players or something. And that makes things even potentially worse because that means they likely have high hold rates and are getting even more points on defense than they should as well.
Devs please address, or top players are probably going to start boycotting until the playing field is leveled.

Nicko,

Totally agree with you.

Both it's not fair at all and not the player's fault.

Sparton, Kaz?

I have a question, has anyone tracked by how much the score/points of these invisi-players has increased by day?

[Thedarkness]

4 of the top 5 are invisible right now. Very discouraging to play PVP like this, reminds me of the bad old days when there were a bunch of invisible players coasting into top positions. At least I'm not waking up to 20-30 attacks anymore

[DaveMurray]

Thanks Nicko for mentioning this again because it is getting completely ridiculous.
I think devs lean on the fact that G will win in the end so it's not something urgent.
Even if they checked and their ratios are ok, who is attacking them and who are they attacking?
It's something that needs to be fixed before Saturday, if they remain for another week there i personally am over with PvP.

yeah it's a big screw up i think it's the 3rd week already. if i'm right the new matchmaking fuckid it up. before things seem to be fine...now Ludocroceur a level 60 player is at #1 for a few hours...i'm sure he is a hell of a player like the other invisibles too...

but i have a 2nd theory: maybe this is some kind of a balancing act. since the lowranks have no shells and immunity maybe the devs try to make up for this unfairness. so making the guys invisible might even out the unfairness :P

JAWolf #1

I faced JAWolf a couple of times in the Arena, and as far as I remember i won every time against his defense. But I never saw the others

The issue isn't that they are not being attacked - at least according to the developers. The issue is that they aren't appearing on the attacks lists of the players they're competing with - and that gives them a big advantage.
