[2020] Game has become overrun by noobs?

Don’t be a dick.

There’s really no Matchmaking to fix.

I’m not going to tell you how to play your game. You do you. But one thing we pride ourselves of at Ghost Ship Games is that we have a very helpful and non-toxic community. Everybody is a noob in the beginning. You can either help build stronger miners and a better community, or you can give new players a potential bad experience in a game that you love. I’d love for it to be the first option.

Grantrd, it’s currently not the most optimal system for people who want their games a certain way, but it’s what we’ve got. The level requirement has been brought up before, but you can easily be high level without being good at the game, so that kind of filter would only be a hacky patchjob. I think most new players will quickly figure out what difficulty is appropriate for them, so the issue would still be there for every player past whatever limit is set.

Adding to that, sometimes people want a challenge with a risk of failure - sometimes they’ll go for a game with good modifiers and high hazard for the reward itself, without bringing the skill to handle it, and those most likely won’t be the greenbeards.

Game dev is hard, lol
