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.

What a great idea, the old ranking system was so flawed.

But is it fixed as in how you rank up or is that all the same?

You rank up the same way.
Well then you fixed the wrong thing in my opinion.

Ranking up to a good rank is too easy.

A bit harder if it is only tournaments you rank in

I say put them in all the public servers.

That should probably be OK.
What's stopping dedicated farmers from being at the top of the list every month? More dedicated farmers? My only concern is that Losses won't be punished enough. Obviously I could easily be complaining about something you already thought of, but if say rank 1 loses to rank 5000, how badly will that effect his elo(i'm assuming you're still using the elo system but within a more organized system) vs rank 1 losing to rank 2.

Just wondering if I were to play ranked all day every day of the month if my elo(? still not sure what formula you're using to decide rank) could get so ridiculous that no one can catch up.

Also will mod ranks still exist?

And will there be decay(say -0.5 (elo?) per day or -2 per week if you dont play at all)

Also will the servers go down when you reset ranks or will it just auto reset at 00:00 0 gmt?
