Ranking changes
I'm updating our ranking system. Rankings will reset every month and only some servers will have ranking enabled on them.

Whats new from today:
- Only selected servers will be ranked. "This is a ranked server")
- Before ranked matches you'll get a message. "This is a ranked match (#rank vs #rank)"
- I've enabled ranking on the tourney1-8 servers. Admins can put ranking on any server they please.

Whats coming:
- On the 1st of August I'll clear the current rankings. Yes, all rankings will reset.

On the last of the month will be able to have special events for the best players of that month.

This is still in development so if you have any suggestions feel free to post in this thread.

If the details of a match isn't shown (like with the new ranking system as an oppose to the old system) then there is nothing to screenshot after a game has been played on the server and therefore, no way to prove that the winner of the last game played was actually the winner of the last game played, or even that a game was played at all.

I think it's a little good update since the old ranking system was kinda shit. Also i like the idea with that event on the last day of the month for the best players in that month. Waiting for 5.0
So are ranked servers gonna be a thing? Some people might not want to wait 5 minutes to be put in a que

I just think that it could reset every 2 or 3 months instead of every single one. Due to the large playerbase, resetting every single month would bring people a lot of frustation about not having enough time to climb up since there are people who cant play 24/7. Other than that, it's a great addition and it shall add a lot more of competitivity to the game. Great job.

Two things (I typed a long thing and the page refreshed idk, lost it all so here I go again)

• Is adding badges for each tier, as bronze/silver/gold/grand master or anything a plan for the future? If yes, my idea would be to remove the motto thing under the post and display a colored star (or a little medal/anything you'd like) (according to the player's tier (bronze/silver etc)) and a number inside that represents on which season he got such rank in. (In roman numerals would look cooler I think)
Meanwhile in the public profile page we could have a tab listing all the ranks he got in all seasons, to avoid logging to much information we could try adding something as placement matches, or an "unranked" tier as base.

Edit: Other idea would be to have borders around the avatar instead of the badges, this would save some space and avoid the removal of the motto system, but I think it would be a bit harder to automate.

I don't even know if this is a viable option, but would be a cool feature to have.

• And, I suggest having minor tourneys for each's mod top 10. (since the mods rank will be reseted too)
one small event for top 10 ranks in wushu
one for top 10 ranks in aikido

and of course a bigger one for top X global ranks.

about this one I don't know how much it would affect the economy either.


Looking mostly towards the badges thing.

I like the idea but wouldn't mainly getting your rank from tournaments and how tournaments have belt restrictions cause some inaccuracy in rank?

Agreed
3 months sounds best
4 yearly events for the best of the best ( at ranking not the game )

Yeah, this sounds better than monthly. Gives everyone a chance.
