Town of Salem Game Forums

I understand the new role list for ranked practice is just a test, but in my opinion, it's just as unbalanced. Out of the like 20 games I've played, mafia have won over half of them. The new role list makes it near impossible for the jailer to narrow down the roles and makes it impossible to figure out who to execute or lynch and gives mafia endless options to claim, same with the vigilante on who to shoot. I've had multiple players agree in game.

Mafia easily got it. So... overall, i think the version before this, was better.

Was it better because Town had a 70% win rate? We are trying to bring the factions win rates more in line with what we think is acceptable.

Not counting any and NE/NB

Town has 2/3 of the players, mafia has 1/4, NK has 1/12. So 67/25/8 winrates - which are close to what already existed - are ideal.

50/50 is not good given the numbers of the game. Winrates should be proportional to faction sizes.

So I should have a much lower chance of winning if I am unlucky with the role that I get?

33/33/33 would be very difficult to do and would not be fair because of your reasoning, but proportional winrates are at the other end of the spectrum. I would prefer something closer to the middle like 45/35/20.

But mafia is a minority, so it shouldn't be even. IMO 50-30-20 is fairest to me.

it's a fair point but it shouldn't be anywhere NEAR 33-33-33 split because, by that same logic, rolling town (which is more likely) yields the same victory rate as rolling mafia, thus RNG still determines the likeliness of your win in this case.

a what does elo mean
and what is this RP rewards thingy
b a bug i have noticed is this
for one thing someone will join ur party but the thing says the denied
and when you join a party the host was invited not u(this i what it shows)

Hi!

I know it isn't listed in this update, but I was curious if the spy could go back to being able to read whispers and seeing the mafia speak at night. I'm wondering if this has been an ongoing complaint? I'm really hoping for it to come back! I miss it!

The Spy will be reworked, so this role won't be reverted to the previous state.

I still have fingers crossed for an in-lobby report button, becuase it gets real trolly sometimes and it is difficult to catch them because they leave.

That would be great.
Especially for those salty idiots in custom who leave and rejoin over and over again just to get the role they want

Spy is useless right now, it really needs addressing ...


it didn't really need a nerf in the first place, and now it is really pointless - as a TI its powerless and really difficult to gain info for town

YES

Seeing who maf and coven visits is most certainly not useless.

and then spy dies...
you`d think an undercover agent would have some form of self defence

When will the coven update be added the actual website?

Eventually
it was just easier to put it on steam
i guess it will take at most a month

It was also becuase steam has the most loyal people with a established way to pay and play, and it could take more than a month in my opinion

plus you might as well buy steam anyways if you dont' have it and want to buy the coven patch

(get dem merit points dawg )

Yay! Keep up the great work, Devs! And good luck to everyone in Season 1!

CAN I GET AN ANSWER??!?

ELO isn't some kinda of acronym. It's the system which judges your skill level.

There is no Ranked Practice reward.

Can there be a new Elo Trophy for getting 0 elo? Like a paper Trophy or participation ribbon? I would rather rock one of those than a Bronze and actually look like i am good.

0 elo = bronze

Yes i know that, but if you are 0 Elo, are you really Bronze? I'd say you were more of a participant in the ToS Ranked scene and not a Bronze player.

My elo is 654.

Mine is 0. :^) Thats why im saying I need a participation ribbon instead of a Bronze trophy.
