BB1 would be food to BB2
BB2 would be food to BB3

etc.

"How would this bring in new players? They don't understand the mechanics of the game and already get level protection at blitz. All this would do is separate the players into more groups and increase the amount of time you are waiting for a game to start... which would then drive people out of the game."

Because a lot of people get sick of being food for BB4 and BB5 after they get out of Blitz. Its one of the reason I think Blitz is way more fun than Great Battle. There should definitely be a gamemode in between Blitz and Great Battle that gives BB1 and BB2 a fair shake.

Maybe but:
- a well used BB1 can easily pown a bad used BB2 and have a nice chanche against a noob BB3.
- a well used BB2 can easily pown a bad used BB3 and have a nice chanche against a noob BB4.
- etc.

But even:
- a godlike used BB1 stand small chances against a even bad used BB4-5 or 6

But we forget somebody:
CV1-3 crews dont have a chance against a CV7 crew (110-120) and appart dragging your planes and hoping to find even noober than you you cant do much if not scouting.

Learning how to fight against an adversary which actually give you a chanche to hit back is more usefull than practising whit the world champion, when your training session counts for his personal records.

People argue that would slow the rate of starting GB, yes it will undubtly do that, but only for the couple of months necessary to actually premium users to get out of this theorical Greatblitz lvl range. And make GB more interesting for having less low level BB and CVs which results useless in battle if not taking slots for more usefull players.

That plus a return of even only 20% of people which grew sick of getting serially powned in GB would gave a second breathe to the game, and having patience, in some months could even allow the game to actually gain users.

Also against the slow games start rata: why always wait between 3 and 5 mins for the lasts 2 BBs or CVs? when you reach 120% and even ships you could go.
The deficit in exp you have for not having waited for full is compensated from the fact that you have more personal exp and in 1 hour you can easily save enough waiting time to play 1 or 2 more games.

Uh if a new 60-90 room prevents people from quitting the game then its bringing "new" people to the game because they wouldve otherwise quit.

can you see anything wrong with what you just said?

also, if players rage quit because the going got tough, then those are the exact players I would not like to see sailing around in a BB4+ after graduating from Great Blitz.

Awesome idea, I always wondered why they never introduced this idea many years ago. Maybe it should start from level 50(BB1/CV1) to level 80(just above BB3 level)

The game mode should be dedicated to tier 1->3 BB/CV/SS.

If activity comes to an all time low, people can always jump back into GB to start a game faster. But, if there is high activity on the servers, than it would be great for low lvl players to be able to play this GreatBlitz or Blitz instead of only GB and get farmed.

Good players will mostly play where exp. rate is higher and new players will play where they can compete, thus having fun.

The exp. rate should be just below GB but slightly higher the Blitz. Good BB1 players would rather play there then farm in blitz because of better exp.(since they are good players they can keep up with new BB3 players). Maybe around 20K exp. with premium doing 100K damage. Similar with CVing and SS.
