please give us some transparency about stats

[semeai]

hello, so I remember sam mention a while back when BT was first released about the amount of battles, average time per battle, and all the server stats that the devs have but we can't see.

 

I, along with many more dedicated members to this game, would like to see these stats and would like to request some transparency about them since hearing sparse comments about them and how they seem to be heavily involved with decision-making doesn't seem enough. Why not have more transparency (and as a result a more open dialogue) with the fans of this game that make it what it is. because without the players, the game is a ship floating off to sea with no passengers. it drifts with no purpose.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have forwarded it to the proper channels for review.

Personally, I would love to see this information like this too, for no other reason that it would be really neat to know how many total hours of playtime there has been, total amount of battles played, or other really interesting server stats.

What does "I have forwarded it to the proper channels for review." mean?

 

It seems like it could be subjective. But I also would like this information, since it seems to justify what, from my perspective, is the worst received update this game has seen to date.

 

I would also like information regarding average game times before and after the update.

I mostly just wanna see how many Shaymin EX get knocked out per week.

Without getting into any specific details, I have passed this thread along so that it can be addressed and reviewed by someone who can enact such a suggestion.

 

Please rest assured, that suggestions such as this one are being heard by those that should hear it.

 

I hope that clears things up.

I concur, I think that adding stats would be a great addition, among other things to the game.

When taking into account for the length of games, I hope they are taking into consideration whether the game finished by someone conceding vs the game ending where one of the players took all 6 of their prize cards, or someone decked out.  

 

I can tell you that the average game time length may not have increased dramatically if you do factor in how many people are conceding quickly because they know they can't win the match or they realize they are playing someone that is using a deck that is painfully slow because of the new animations that take forever to play out.  So, I will probably take whatever they do decide to show us with a grain of salt...

Thank you. I would like the "concession" stats caveat. Basically like a distribution chart of all games, including statistical outliers.

Kind of. You basically said "it isn't being thrown in t he trash" which is somewhat reassuring.

 

I am still awaiting a response to my willingness to volunteer to either be part of a user focus group or to straight up beta test for free.

 

Can you please forward that to the proper channels?

Considering the new way of playing is win immediately or concede game times are probably shorter. But like a bad doctor they won't be able to diagnose the problem because they aren't reading into the stats.
