Ranking Season One
Hello there!
Today we announce the new seasonal ranking system for Toribash.
- No more monthly rank resets.
The first season is going to last for 3 months and will end on July 10th, 2017. No resets until then, even if you stay inactive for a few weeks and then come back.
- No more public ranked rooms.
We all know the old ranking was a farm fest with some of the top players only fighting their friends who would lose on purpose. This would no longer be possible. All the public ranked rooms have been removed.
- No more daily rank 1 rewards.
You spend half the day playing, get rank 1 and already dream of buying that new 3D item but then you login the next day and know that some Russian stole your prize because he played a bit more when it was the right time. Sounds bad, right? That's why we have removed the daily rewards - instead, the best players will get their prizes when the season is over.
- The new matchmaking.
With the new system, the only way to rank up is to use the ranked mode in Matchmaking. We have made some significant updates to it in Toribash 5.12 thanks to your feedback.
We tried our best to both reduce the waiting time and make sure players can't select their opponents - and that's the why ranked matchmaking is used for the new ranking. When it's peak time, you no longer have to wait in a queue; once there is someone else willing to play, you will be instantly put in a fight. More than two players searching at once? The system will pick a better opponent for you to fight based on your rank.
- Brown belt restriction.
Sorry beginners, but ranked fights are for those who can stay on their feet for more than 50 frames.
- Automatic mod choice.
Unlike unranked matchmaking, you cannot choose what mods to play with ranked. If you aim for the top, you've got to be the best at everything, be it aikido or wushu. Ranked matchmaking is using 3 mods from different mod groups, and we will rotate them each month. April mods are as classic as they can be: aikidobigdojo.tbm, lenshu3ng.tbm and taekkyon.tbm.
- Best of 5 duels.
To ensure the matchmaking session isn't luck-based, ranked fights are first-to-three duels. Accidentally lost an arm in a kicking mod and grappling mods aren't your strongest side? You still have a striking mod left which can give you a second chance at kicking.
Top 100 players will be rewarded at the end of the season
- Rank #1: 500.000 Toricredits, Pure + Demon Pack, unique 3D item.
- Rank #2: 400.000 Toricredits, Magma + Azurite Pack, limited edition 3D item.
- Rank #3: 300.000 Toricredits, Tesla + Boreal Pack, limited edition 3D item.
- Ranks #4-10: 100.000 Toricredits, limited edition 3D item.
- Ranks #11-100: limited edition 3D item.
July 1st update: ranking data has been restored, the new season end date is July 10th, 2017.
Matchmaking boosters stay active until the end of this season.

If nothing can be done about it not gonna complain but just wondering if you went too far back.

Probably won't help at all but here's the rankings just prior to it happening.

Pretty annoying for everyone who was close to the top 3 I'd say, considering a lot of work was basically undone just before the season wrap up.
Yes, unfortunately this was the most recent data we had backed up.

Yeah, the day prior the ranking system malfunctioning you made a lot of progress and I lost a lot of elo. I wasn't sure if the rollback date really was July 26th, but if the GMT of the date sir mentioned was 0, then that would be right around the time we were active that Sunday.
