Regarding Elo, dueling, etc
Hello, i was really wondering if there was a chance to even bring back the old elo ranking system since now it seems far easy to farm for the elo, if you would just look at ezalor he is a reason why farming exists and even though he has been banned multiple times he still continues doing so, when it comes to dueling i was one day dueling shmevin and i spectated before the frame 1 even started and that wouldn't even take out your elo but if you had spectated after the second frame or etc, you would lose elo and could easily tell the score since they spectated, since when i spectated before frame one he admittingly said the score was 2-0 when i had spectated before frame one. anyways, this ranking system we have now is really not benefiting anyone other than the people who just farm for rank 1 winnings or earnings or what ever they are.
New ranking system had a good idea behind it, but... it was executed poorly.

Perhaps there should be three ranking systems running: All-time rankings (aka old system), monthly rankings (aka new system), and official mod ranking (the mod ranking with a little more emphasis on it). Prizes could be given with all-time winners receiving the most, and mod winners receiving the least. I think this would make everyone happy.


I agree that it is pointless to noobstomp to rank 1 all month. I tryed my best a month or 2 but it was borring af. I don't agree that somebody should get 1 mili tc for just having patience and waiting around for noob players to beat all day long. Matchmaking is also useless since nobody uses it.
When the system started there was some potential until people figured out that its not the best man that wins, but the person with the most time to burn every month.
Anyway i don'see any fix rlly... Its just another mili that goes to ezalor every month. Nothing against it...but its not a competitive thing.

Idk, maybe after u get rank 25 or better there are is only 1 room restricted for the 25 players with rotating mods. But ofc the room will be always empty. Maybe top 100 with some advantage of getting 50\100 tc\win...

Yeh, the new ranking system was executed poorly because, without warning, hampa suddenly reset the ranks and expected us to fix it -_- we were only half way through planning it at the time.

Then when we put this thing in place, iirc, it was supposed to be temporary until matchmaking was fixed (lol), and then global ranks would have been based only on matchmaking, to reduce noob farming as much as possible (with mod ranks attainable from normal servers, similar to how the system used to be). And I don't think I need to tell you how badly hampa fucked up matchmaking. Literally didn't listen to a thing we suggested.

hampa is a nice guy, but my lord how I wish he'd sell this game to a development team that actually gave a shit

I think you forget how many people were complaining about it before the change too. The new 'system' isn't great (not that the system is new, the only differences are restricting which servers have ranked matches and the rank resets), but the old system wasn't good either.

The answer to your question though, is there is nothing that staff can do to fix it, apart from adding more ranked servers which would be pointless. If you want a systemic change in ranks then that requires devs/hampa, who aren't particularly reliable or active.

To summarise:

Congratz moop u caught up finally, only been saying it for 4 years.

About the idea, it probably should happen untill the current one is fixed ( which will never happen). The old rank system was terrible but the mod rank aspect to it was half decent at least, i think it would be better than the one we have now.
If you think people want DUELS to determine how good you are, you can fuck off. You can fuck off so hard. What you are basicly asking for is: "I can have rank one, but only after I take a lot of items and TC from noobs who don't know what an Alt is, or risk all my own items and TC for that sweet rank 1."

Rank one should be played for. Not farmed. Not risked. Played.

Back in the original topic, the new ranking system has made me less intrested in the game and for its own good needs to be changed. The only reason I still play is because first, I'm part of a clan, and I enjoy the occasional war, second, bet servers are fun to hang around in, and third because my laptop is shit and TB is about the only thing that runs on it now that FTL has decided it doesn't want to run modded anymore.

I agree with moop: Hampa, either let the game die, or give it to someone who will do regular updates and matinence with a devoted and possibly paid team.

I know you've been saying it for ages, so have I. We've had this conversation like a million times yet you still always forget and assume I like the current system. Stay off the drugs they're no good for your memory

Fates: yeh, obviously duels shouldn't be what determines rank, I don't think anyone really needs to explain why

nobody is saying that duels should be determining what rank should be, i am saying that it should be implemented for when you duel again, because lets say after frame one someone spectates and you can easily tell they did so because the elo said that they spectated and their elo gets reduced, while now you have to take a screenshot and hope staff believe it,
