Average geoguessr moment: (bro sees one formerly unknown hill in Ghana) "What is that hill doing, hello? Whats the hill doing?" Because we do actually believe we usually know most hills around the world. Man, i love this game and its players 😊😊😊 Great vid btw Jake, great to see you back on the grind 😊
Yeah I find it the reason I get mad most of the time. It would just be nice to actually know the level of who you were playing against or just who they are.
But how? There is no way to check who is playing. Only option would be ID registration and allow only verified members to play. Like in online casinos or betting websites.
They could just restrict under-leveled accounts to enter champions league, something like a minimum level of 30 in order to be able to enter champions.@@P1tr_
Winning rounds is essentially the new tiebreakers. If two people end up with the exact same record, the one who will end up ahead will be the one who won more of their rounds so thats not bad to me and a great way to break ties. It is undercut by the "10 point bonus for first win of the day" so just playing and winning once a day is worth 70 points on the week.
Listen, I'm a believer that in most games I know of elo is mostly indicative of grind time over the skill level, so i never paid attention to it. But imagine being 940 rated master with 1k games and you somehow get 1600 Jake Lyons?? I would unironically cry and ragequit this game for a few days. Like what do the devs expect those players to do in this?? Most rounds you could have guessed nm withing 5 seconds and win. Is there really so few people playing the game now, that this is what has to be done?
I don't know if your Mx/Greece guess was a brain fart, but we had gen 4 europe blur where only a small portion of the back of the car is visible. That is unique to EU + ZA (there might be a small percentage that that car can be found in California, but I think it's just a no car + visible breaklight. Anyways, with that blur and black car that was used in 2023 greece coverage, it should put us there with that vegetation.
The only positive I have found from this new system is, I dont have to play NM/NMPZ anymore, since I dont care what division I'm in. I got demoted to Gold 1 this week, and it means nothing to me. Theres nothing to compete for anymore...... so I have 0 incentive to play the other modes. I was already planning to possibly boycott the next season if they didnt break up the seasons into a Moving season & an NM/NMPZ season, since theres almost no overlap in those modes.....but they did 1 better, they made it so I dont have to think about seasons at all. Definitely sucks for content creation purposes. I doubt many people are concerned about this week to week ranking of this garbage system. AFAIK theres not even anything to play for. No trophies at the end of the week. Its literally useless.
@@shiftlessdrifter692Im already in enough leagues where I have to play NM/NMPZ games as part of it, so I get more than too much practice as it is. If they ever separate the elos of all 3, I might care a bit. But as of right now, playing them can only do harm to my score. On top of that, NMPZ is such an equipment favored mode, that its unfair to someone like me that has 1 normal monitor, and a vision impairment when I face off against someone with 3 extra wide monitors that gives them a view comparable to a 360 view. At least in moving the field is evened out far more. So my desire to play this mode when the ONLY thing it can do is damage my overall combined elo, is 0%.
@@Tvillingklippan Why? My main target of this game was to improve my ELO. Besides just having fun playing this game of course. Once in a while, there was a season pluged in ,was completely optional and had nothing to do with my actual "long run". If you wanted to participated, it was just "there". No pressure, nothing. If you wanted to compete, you just focused more in first games you played and that was all. After 4 weeks, you had you results. Now? You are "forced" to play from the beginning or you will fall to lower division.ELO is displayed somewhere in the back and I have no intention to improve it, because the main think is the division in the middle of your screen. Also this week, I have best rating in my life, but went to the lower division. Add worst idea of matchmaking 1500 rated players with 900 rated players and there you go. Nothing to play for on the top and If you lose your first 10 matches you go to the lower division. So frustrating and demotivating.
Does alting mean someone on another account? Or does it mean they’re cheating? Like is there a motive /reason behind why they’re doing that? What’s the purpose basically
I'm pretty sure it's just the old bangla car that mostly got replaced with new coverage, I think it's mostly in the north west, but I could be wrong It's not that region specific don't quote me on that tho
Alts are frustrating, but that one has the 7th highest elo in the game. Surely his true rating is pretty close. If he was on a 1300 account that'd be a different story.
So many things don't make sense in this duolingo like. 1/ I have to wait almost 1 minute to start a new game . looks like everyone gave up 2/ I am around 800 and my opponents are all above 1100 elo. I just lost 5 games in a row and its just so frustrating not to have a fair game with someone at my level 3/ I cannot see the results in the champ division - Is it so VIP that we cannot even have a look ? so many negative details like this that in the end, we loose interest in this new mode.
Second account for one person. Usually its used to experiment with things if you dont want to kill your rating or just are well known enough to want to play some anonymous games in something like this. That or in old season structure it could be something like an account that is a "challenge mode" account and plays every game NMPZ, again something that would hurt your main accounts rating.
Its okay... biggest drawback (not championship so different view) is that promotion pretty much is just "Can you play all of your games". In my group last week only two people who played more than half of their games failed to get promoted, and both of those were winning only about a third of their matches.
I dont understand why something changes when u play against people on alt acc? Like you lose to him on alt, why would it matter if hes on the main acc?
I like watching you, I've seen all your videos, you're talented, but for at least 10 videos you've done nothing but talk negatively, complain about the smallest details,... At first it was funny, but it's starting to get really tiresome. I'd like to get back to the old Jake who loved competition and didn't spend his time whining.

At least the first guy's username was, "I'm really sorry!" in Chinese (although still doesn't make up for alting or whatever he is doing)

Nah I just don’t know what that is since I don’t focus on car stuff 🤷♂️

What about playing them for the sake of improving? Or do you just find them boring?

So are they gonna finally roll back this nonsense update and get back to the good old stuff?
Unfortunately, they did not.
Surely they are bringing seasons back? This new system is just absolutely pointless
Doesn’t seem like they are. It sucks
The seasons was kind of pointless to an average player like me. I'm not sure about the new system

GG!
You really had me convinced that Greece was Mexico 😅 I have to believe GG will hear the all the negative feedback and eventually make some changes. ❤
Not having champs and masters queue is such a no-brained that the devs implemented that a while back! Baffling that they would reverse that

6:36 isnt that this region specific car?
I'm pretty sure it's just the old bangla car that mostly got replaced with new coverage, I think it's mostly in the north west, but I could be wrong
It's not that region specific
don't quote me on that tho
It's not really region specific

New system SUCKS
💯
I just dont understand how they think this is a good idea

3/ I cannot see the results in the champ division - Is it so VIP that we cannot even have a look ?

Can someone explain to me what an alt means?

Thank you for the explanation!
Hopefully they bring the old system back, this one makes no sense
Like, c'mon why would I play against a master while im in champ division smh
Should have watched the video before playing; lost a game on a WV round with a green sign with a white circle at spawn.
This new ranking system looks nice. Almost like Duolingo or Rocket League. Maybe I should start playing GeoGuessr again now that it seems fun!
Its okay... biggest drawback (not championship so different view) is that promotion pretty much is just "Can you play all of your games".

Remember when you went Mexico on a Greece round, don’t worry we won’t forget 🫡
