Toribash development team is currently focused on making the Matchmaking system work as you would expect a proper matchmaking to, and we would like to make sure our current plans fit community's desires and views on it. Any thoughts and new ideas are welcome and will be considered.


What is currently planned to be implemented:

• Ranked - a "first to 3" duel
  • No mod choice - players get to fight in randomly selected mods (mod changes each fight).
    Draft mod list: aikidobigdojo.tbm, taekkyon.tbm, lenshu3ng.tbm (or rk-mma.tbm), judofrac.tbm
  • Brown belt restriction
  • Seasonal rank resets (3 months for season length)
  • No daily rank 1 reward. Instead, weekly rewards for top n players or one-time reward at the end of the season.
  • Matchmaking being the only way to rank up.
  
  
• Unranked - a "first to 2" duel
  • Pick the mod group to play
  • No belt restriction

We also plan to disable daily rank 1 rewards for now as it has turned into "farm rank without getting caught" fest.
It doesn't mean that everybody with top ranks farmed their way up, but Event Squad members have to deal with rank-related reports on almost a daily basis. We may still reward top players in some way.

100dm and floor dq is just dumb.

I really like the random mods system and I think it promotes overall skill.
3 Month seasons also feel more reasonable than just 1 month.

Sounds bloody good.

Also what fist has been mostly on point with his feedback. Listen to the man.
