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.

I take some of my rage back, seeing that people are working on improving it as we speak. Moop had a great suggestion about elo restricted servers.

To be clear that wasn't just my suggestion. Also I think we've already decided we're going to be making these at some point

Are you guys sure putting ranks up in qi restricted rooms is the right way to go? Why not use public servers? Just a question.
Your messed up world enthrills me

The system is actually alright at a push, its fun for players more fun for newbies really but the only sad part is that it does not represent rank or skill in anyway, the rank system literately just encourages noob bashing. There is huge potential here, and also just shows how fantastic a matchmaking system would be, Really hope you get around to making a matchmaking system some time Hampa.

There are more people for this change than against it.

How bout instead of complaining about it just deal with it. In the end it is still just a game.

If we all had your attitude then how would the game ever progress, Hampa needs people to tell him the problems with the system instead of kissing his ass all the time.

And exactly as i said the newbies enjoy it, the newbies aka YOU.

In all seriousness. The idea of facing people with a similar rank to yours and your skill set would be the most logical way of dealing with the ranking system. Unless you enjoy watching new members get destroyed in tourneys and public servers. You have a filter and matchmake to find players that are matchmaking to find a game in the same mod as you. You play best out of 3 games. winner gets bonus elo at the end the loser just loses the elo that they would have normally if they lost 2 matches. I don't know about you guys but, matchmaking would prevent players that aren't skilled from reaching the higher ranks and it would be a more fair competition between players. The tourneys can still be up during this, for all the people trying to make money and having matchmaking available to all those that wouldn't like to wait 15 minutes to play a single match. I brought this up before and even made some concept art. Also if anyone rage quits the game can just ban them for 12 hours or so with an infraction. They ping from the game (whether legitimate or forced) they recieve an infraction point. Not to mention, if they execute the try to reconnect thing where if you ping it will automatically reconnect you, it could stop f-pinger's in their tracks.

Yup.

Also the current system is so fucking boring, just sitting there farming these noobs, none of the games are even slightly a challenge.

I get that Matchmaking would be difficult, require a great deal of labor and development, etc. I'm okay with it not happening. But you know what a great middle step is that improves the quality of the games played, protects players from noob farming, protects players from getting bashed in by alts in your free to play game, and doesn't take a whole lot to implement?

ELO RESTRICTED SERVERS

Being a brown belt doesn't mean you're bad and lord help me I know that being a Master Belt doesn't mean you're good (especially since you can still buy Qi in this game). Make the ranking servers ELO restricted, so you can only play people who have near equal success as you. I understand that increases wait time for top players but that's exactly what happens in really good e-sports and it works out just fine. I know professional League players can sometimes wait 45 minutes just to find a game. It's better to have that then watch some decent player just trash a bunch of average players and get called "Rank 1" as the actual good players and duelists look with nausea.
Need help?

So the plan is to see how many scrubs we can get together in ranked servers and knock them down like bowling pins, then get tc for it?

Has anyone considered that maybe elo is the problem, and not giving us 8 ranked servers and 15 500 tc tourney servers?
