Player's Epic NFT RPG Streak Ends with Ban and Awkward Return

Nov 04, 2024 3:22 PM

Ubisoft's recently launched NFT RPG, Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, faced a challenging start due to a matchmaking bug that caused players to repeatedly face the same opponent, leading to frustrations within the community. Reports stated that many gamers found themselves up against either the account 'schilleri11' or 'Paulstar111,' resulting in instant losses each time. Following the outcry, Ubisoft noticed the issue, issued temporary bans for the accounts involved, but later lifted them once it was confirmed to be a system bug rather than cheating. The game developers acknowledged the bug and are working on a long-term fix to prevent it from reoccurring, communicating openly with the player community about the situation and seeking understanding.

What caused the matchmaking issues in Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles?

The matchmaking issues were due to a bug that resulted in players frequently being matched against the same opponent, leading to impossible play conditions. Ubisoft has since identified and communicated the problem, assuring players that a fix is underway.

Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles is a unique title from Ubisoft that blends tactical gameplay with NFT mechanics. This strategy RPG attempts to capture the growing trend of integrating blockchain technology into gaming experiences, although this debut has raised questions about balancing and fairness in online multiplayer environments.

It's a classic case of a new game hitting a snag right out of the gate While NFTs in gaming are already a hot topic, this rough matchmaking start shows that even big names like Ubisoft have to navigate some serious growing pains.

It's a bumpy start for Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, but at least Ubisoft is being transparent about the matchmaking bug. Here’s hoping they turn the situation around because balancing NFT mechanics with gameplay is tricky enough without these hiccups
