Patch Update #437 - Player Ratings plus additional fixes

[theFiringHand 21,351]

 

Tankers!

 

Tomorrow’s update at 02:00 UTC brings back Player Ratings!

 

Player Ratings will be the one measure for all tankers. Your Rating number will be visible in your experience bar. For this first iteration of the feature, only you will be able to see your Rating, and you will not be able to see the Ratings of other players. This will become possible in future updates once the feature has been properly tested.

 

As a reminder, Player Ratings were removed from the game two years ago because it was too easy to boost the numbers using cheap tactics. The new rating system will be based on the same metrics, but will use a new, smarter formula.

 

We’ll also be rolling out a number of technical fixes —including some fixes for the Clan System— and making some changes to the Settings window.

 

Additionally, as part of our effort to eliminate the dreaded Critical Error, from tomorrow, drop zone markers will be visible from anywhere on the map. Having less transparent objects will make this error less likely to occur.

So, make sure you log in tomorrow and check out all the changes.

A couple of frequently asked questions

 

Q: Is the #1 rating highest or lowest?

A: The rating works as a score, so BIGGER number = BETTER rating, which means if your rating is 1, you're a pretty crappy player lol

 

 

Q: How is the rating worked out?

A: The ratings formula is, and will remain confidential. All I can tell you is that you should play better to get a higher rating. And that you can actually lower your rating even if you win. This happens if your playing is below your usual level, irrespective of whether you win or lose.

I would assume so. Might be why so many Errors happen during the gold. :D

ok

They didn't say it's forever so I'm pretty sure they'll bring it back to normal after they find a more suitable solution for the errors.

What is this system and how will it help me as a player? Is the current system going away :( 

 

And what does it mean about the drop zone markers?

O.o Does this mean that the Gold Box Drop Zone marker will be also visible from anywhere on the map?

 

Good or bad?
