Ranking Updates
This thread's purpose is to gather more thoughts on Matchmaking and how it should work.


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.


EDIT (10/03/2017):

that would be cool,but seriously, dont put judo or judofrac on the poll.

well,i say that because some players dont like either judo variant so(i actually like judofrac).....

but seriously,no judo.maybe judofrac because there is skill involved,but judo no because is too luck based.

I still think this will affect good casual players, but we can't fix everything.




In general we need more players to play (advertisements? Possibly a new rank advertisement team?). Some players start playing and generally enjoy it, then they play multiplayer, but because they don't know how to play and get matched against good players, they get discouraged and decide to quit. (I have showed this game to many of my friends and it happened 100% of the time.

I suggest having the newer players play vs new players. BUT once a yellow belt wins >80% (or 70%) he will be matched vs regular players and if he the drops drastically go back to the new players. This will filter out alt accounts. Let's be honest the alt accounts are sort of ruining the new player experience

What we could also do to filter alt accounts is to attach a phone number to one account (kinda like csgo prime) and match prime vs prime (if possible due to low player count). I'm saying this because we don't just need to fix a problem, but we also have to prevent them.

well...talking about matchmaking,yeah advertising it on the website would be useful,but putting it between free play and mp wouldnt be too useful.

why?

because the window for matchmaking appears right in your face when you start the game,so.......

I have an other idea to keep players playing in the match making.

It basically a multiplier, every game you win in a row you can get your tc multiplied, there could also be a cap at some point. I dont know what the multiplier shoold be. but I think it will attract more players. Because now they play for tc in bet servers and in duel servers.

you have the same idea as me but,
it would be great if you were able to vote on the type of gamemode/mod

That just allows someone to ignore other mods and only be "decent" at one specific mod. Matchmaking should challenge you and make you go outside your comfort zone to improve as a player. If you want to play a specific mod, you can always make your own server.

Also, I think boxshu_mushu_v3.tbm should be included in the mods as it is a very popular mod for duels and regular play.

We also don't have enough people playing to have different options. I think there should be one and that's it.
