SOME NEW CHANGES



As you will see, there have been some changes to ranked and tourney servers.

The main change is that all ranked servers (both 'Ranked' and 'Tourney') are in elo tiers, so noob-farming should no longer be possible.

Ranked servers

4 ELO tiers: 0-1612, 1608-1632, 1628-1660, 1645+

Within each ELO tier, we have 3 servers with categories 'Striking', 'Grappling' and 'Kicking' which each have a modlist of 3-4 mods. The modlists are as follows:
Striking: lenshu3ng, rk-mma, wushu3box, stabjutsu_original
Grappling: aikidobigdojo, rb_greykido, greykido
Kicking: taekkyon, erthtkv2, taido2, deltaboxfixed

In each tier there is a 4th server called 'Mixed', which will have a selection from each category, as well as 1 or 2 others (i.e. the Mixed server will have a long modlist)



Tourney servers

3 ELO tiers: 0-1612 (500tc tourneys), 1608-1632 (750tc tourneys), 1628+ (1000tc tourneys)

In each ELO tier, we have the same categories as the ranked servers - 'Striking', 'Grappling' and 'Kicking'.

We have also made 4 public tourneys which will have no ELO restrictions, but will also not affect ELO/rank. The mods in these 4 tourneys are prone to change upon our will / your demand.

USEFUL COMMAND: use /rules in any server to see the modlist



SOOOO, we're hoping that this should put a stop to noob-farming, and be another step towards making ranks meaningful before matchmaking comes in - as you'll need to be successful in more than 1 mod to rank up and won't be able to prey on users with far lower ELOs.

We're aware the multiplayer list looks quite untidy now - but as soon as possible, the only servers visible to you will be the ones you are able to enter (similar to how you can't see beginner/intermediate/semipro servers anymore)

We think the categorisations for the mods are pretty good, but let us know if you have any suggestions. 2 of my concerns is that deltaboxfixed might not quite fit in any of the categories (so should perhaps be removed?) and that the striking category has 3 'lenshu-like' mods and only 1 wushu mod.

Anyway, happy complaining
