"Special Events" sounds like bull shit to me. Its like working hard for the rank, yet you still have to do a "special event" to get a prize. I'm judging that idea because I do not know what "special events" you're talking about. But anyways, instead of "special events", i have a suggestion.

Why not start a thread in the events board about the prizes in the ranked servers, example.

server 1
1. 50,000 TC or a no QI Force of any choice
2. 30,000 TC or a no QI Relax of any choice
3. 20,000 TC

server 2
1. NO QI Force
2. NO QI Relax
3. 20 ST
and so on and so forth... (hope you get it)

This is used so that the players can see the prizes, get motivated, etc...

This is just a suggestion though, not sure about these "special events" you're talking about.

I agree with DropKick and the guy who talked about the "OFFICIAL RANKED" servers.

i think those prices are a bit too much.

It's not like players are entitled to a prize just because they have a good rank.

this would also be a good time to bring back the ultimate servers (3rd dan+) and probably a set of 10th dan + servers with ranked matches.

It's there. But it says "a unranked match".

my OCD is hurting me since it isn't "an unranked match."

Although, I would love the ultimate rooms. It seems the direction is heading towards public rooms where a collection of good players and new players.

If you someone bossed in the ultimate room, and another player bossed in the beginner. It wouldn't be fair for them to have similar ranks, would it? Specially, taking in mind the presence of alts. Ya feelin me? (As I wrote this post..even convinced myself more and more that only public rooms should have this system)


I have a very important suggestion:

Main idea: Mod variation.

I think the ranking system should be designed in a way so that the more mods one plays in or is good in..the better his rank.

Just comparing two extremes. One player that bosses in aikido.tbm should have a lower rank than a player who bossed in aikido.tbm/wushu/lenshu3ng... etc.

So what of unranked matches?

Now people have no incentive to do good or not quit in unranked matches (most of the servers)

It seems a bit broken.. I kind of liked how before you were always bettering or worsening your rank, not only doing so in tourney or 'ranked' servers.

Also I second williams post on variation, strictly one-mod players are some of the ones on top.

Maybe certain whole mods could go towards rank, all the time? Ex. rankedlenshu3ng.tbm rankedaikido.tbm, with controlled mod settings so if you changed it it wouldn't be going towards ranked matches.

Just my 2 cents.

ranking has started to count again but ranks weren't reset...

Basically do this Hampa: Suggestions
-Add more servers
-Give those servers a diverse modlist
-Penalize leavers somehow
-Maybe rotate mods weekly(say there are 10 servers with 5 different mods) so that we get 20~ mods per month
-Add more time in between ranked resets(2-4 months instead of 1) I feel that 6/4/3 top ranked players a year is enough, maybe 12 is 2 many, but then again the first month is a "test" month so you might find this out on your own.
-Organize ranked rooms by tiers as opposed to belts(0-1000, 1001-5000, 5001-20000, 20001-5000, 50001-) maybe? or like every 2000 could be a tier, but yeah seems like it would make more sense than belts, that way rank 1 cant go into a 5th dan black belt server and farm people who are ranked 5-20k easily.


Questions:
-When the reset happens will servers go down and assuming they will, for how long?

-Please can you allow modrank to stay the same, I liked having mod ranks in fun mods and I don't think that system was flawed. Seriously pls consider this(if anyone agrees with me pm me or post it here maybe we can start a petition or something :L, or have a survey)

-Will everyone recieve a rank automatically or will you remain unranked until you play a game(I don't think anyone has mentioned this one) I think if you list everyone as unranked there will only be a few thousand players with any rank at all, which could be weird considering there are people ranked in the millions right now.

5.0 is gettin closer xD
