New puzzles system starts too hard

Sort:
Wrinn

Just tried the new puzzle system and couldn't even get out of Wood 1.  The difficulty seems to be set at my current classic rating (3000+) and harder, which feels REALLY REALLY BAD for the very very start of a new puzzle ranking system.  I should be able to crush the first 20 or so puzzles as it ramps up in difficulty back to my "classic" rating.

The puzzles selection algorithm is the same as regular rated puzzles. So, if you have a higher puzzle rating you're going to still get the same level of puzzles.

If you reset your puzzle history you can get huge streaks.

When it was first released on Android I went through the full path, through legend 20, in a few months at the 2600-2900 level

I understand, but the point is that feels Really Bad™. The very first puzzle was some 500 level "here, let me show you how a tactic works!" guided experience, and then immediately afterwards at Wood 1, puzzle 1, I'm being served 3000+ rated puzzles? I'd rather just have a new rating system for the upgraded? new? overhauled? tactics and keep my old rating separate for the classic system.

Progression = dopamine = more enjoyable experience. Right now I don't want to try to the new ranking system at all anymore, I'd rather just stay on classic mode since the rating I see matches the difficulty of the puzzle I receive.
