Hm.. This honestly bothers and confuses me... But I think it'll make more sense once it's put into effect.
So, the people with the best rank for that month will be in some sort of event, and the winner gets a prize of some sort? Please tell me if I am missing something.
Suggestion #1: Ranking tab in the forum, perhaps. ^^ with some cool statistics! (got tons of ideas)
Question #1: I know tournaments have different minbelt requirements. So, might it affect the ranks in a negative way? Let's say a green belt having rank 20 since he is beating up all the other low belts. Just a thought!
Suggestion #2: I think this is very important.
Look at the public rooms, there is a mod for judo/twinsword/jousting.
These are very fast paced mods compared to the others. They are also not as
competitive aikido.tbm/lenshu3ng/TK/rk-mma.
My suggestion would be to compile a serious list of COMPETITIVE mods and set them as RANKED. Of-course, there still should be public servers for the other mods(judo etc..), just not RANKED.
This just invites farmers through the front door. You've basically cooked them a hot meal, sat them down and are giving them a backrub.
I honestly don't think making a few rinky dink ranked servers and trying to withhold the ranking ability from the community is going to fly too well. And if someone wants to farm with a friend on one of these empty ranked servers, there is nothing going to stop them. My point is, is that people are always going to find a way to cheat, it is inevitable. Even if they do farm, what's the point? The ranks will reset every month and like hampa said before, "If you play and win all day every day for a whole month I think you deserve to be in the high ranks that month."
My idea stands as alpha.
Ranking tab would be neato.
The mod list is something we're discussing, and one of the ideas being tossed around is just that, to compile a competitive mod list, perhaps with some fun additions sometimes.
It's going to a better direction even if not perfect, and you can't argue with that.
Finally i won't be in one tourney with those pros. Time to farm the noobs!
I don't really care about this change or whatever. I'm just defending the people that would like to compete in dueling servers and what not competitively instead of being ranked about the equivalent of a white belt swinging a dick around in the daycare mod.
