Multiplayer Balance

[Floofyboy]

I was just wondering if anyone else thinks the balance is off. I am personally ranked #1 as death, and #3 as life, and strangely, my win rate is much higher as life.

When my death faces a very good player, its extremely difficult to win, you almost need life to misplay.

The point is, a good smart player pretty much always knows what are the pathologies to inspect, and the game still allows a few mistake. Death only wins if life really struggles to figure out what the disease is, which simply doesn't happen a lot at top levels of play.

Am i wrong on this?

I'm also better when I'm playing life, especially in multiplayer. So yes, I think you'll have an advantage in playing life when you are already knowing the symptoms well.

Yesterday I won 4 matches in a row against a moderate skilled player and I played every time life. I've only encountered one player so far who is hard to beat when he/she plays as death.

My suggestion is to give death more symptoms for some diseases (maybe as seperate recovery skill). Also a probability for diseases to become asymptomatic when they are evolved would be also an interesting feature.

So death players would have the oppurtunity to either kill their victim fast and aggressive or play stealthy and confusing.

I have faced you a few times and i was death every times. you beat me every single time. And i'm supposed to be #1 death.... We haven't faced each other yet in different roles but i bet id give you much more trouble as life

May i ask which player gave you trouble, and which strategy he used?

Actually... i am currently testing a new death strategy which is simply hardcore attacking the kidneys. It hasn't failed yet... But its a bit boring since every life knows exactly what i'm doing but they can't stop it lol

I was playing against "clutcher23939" and he attacked mostly the kidneys and digestive system.

I haven't played at high ranks multiplayer in this game but I have played quite a bit with friends and I too have found that Life is more powerful than death. If the Life player knows what he/she is doing then they can just steamroll Death and they can't do anything about it.

I've found that Life seeing the symptoms appear as Death chooses their beginning diseases to be a little too powerful because Life is able to single out which symptoms came out together and focus on those diseases. I personally feel like the symptoms shouldn't show at the beginning until Death has made all of his/her choices.

I agree Froozgooz. It´s really simple to find out what kind of desease the Patient has when you see everything selected in real Time. It should all pop up when the Round starts so that the Life Player has something to thing about.
