Modification of the ranking system

Stilgarius · 06-18-2012, 07:30 AM

Hello all,

After several answers on our forums about the rating system posted Friday, June 15, we will make the following change to better reflect the skill level of players:

-We will take into account the number of games as an added value to the rest of the online formula.

Finally, we can have a ranking system taking into account the time played, ! ! ! but it means to perform RESTART of the profile's statistics. ! ! !

Thank you for giving your opinion on this major change. *This system change will be brought online in a future patch, if it's approved by the community.

have a good day.

That's a tough one. I do believe "games played" should influence the ranking, but only to a point. There needs to be a diminishing return the more matches you played. Whats the difference between someone who played 300 and someone who played 400 matches?

A stat wipe is always a dangerous thing. On one hand overall the stats will be better for almost everyone as you start out as a vet this time. On the other hand it feels a bit like losing part of what you have achieved so far, and might kill motivation a bit.

I'm not sure i would take that risk with an already small community. Especialy not for the sole reason of making matches played a factor for the rank.

I think as someone already suggested in the other thread, using the ships MK level could be a good compromise instead of matches played. This also represents time played in a way.

edit: actualy taking the MK for that probably wouldnt be very good as many ppl might actualy specialize on a few ship classes. Better games played (battlefields should have a much smaller influence then conquest ofc) or time played, with dimishing returns the more you play.

And is it realy not avoidable to reset the stats? Wouldn't it also work if the stats the ranking uses just substracts the current stats shown right now for the future calculations? Probably too much hassle i suppose.

Will it mean a restart of the mark on your ships aswell? Because if you only reset the statistics and not the mark, i would not mind at all tbh, my stats would probalby end up being much better then they are now. But if you reset the mark of your ships, that would be annoying.

hi guys,

We're not sure to make this change for the moment. We're thinking of other possibility for the ranking right now.

Also this does not concern the mark of your ships or your items earned.

Have a good day
