I really don't think that adding more ranks to a small pop game will make it more balanced.
Removing ranking system would benefit more.

You add a rank limit, and then set it to 15?

Might as well completely remove it, or raise it.

[Puffdragon 131]

Looks good, I am excited, but I'm staying away till new engine I think...

It's more likely to slow down any attempt from trade bots or whatever their name is.

This is the same rank limit that's on the ingame marketplace though. So it makes sense

Also the next patch will have a number of very important fixes. We were finally able to reproduce and fix the hitreg issue that has been plaguing the game.

This just sounds too good to be true.

[hack 96]

sure put a rank restriction to test stuff while 99% of the pop are r9 on OTW.

adding it afterwards would require another round of testing, because you'd be testing the core mechanics first with the rankless test but then all the rank related limits/feature with a ranked test. Seems like double the trouble

Hi everyone,

First, I want to thank everyone who came out and played in the Citadel Prototype districts. I have previously apologized for the mess we made of balancing weapons. This mini-event allowed us to collect invaluable information. I want everyone to know that we are listening and not ignoring the feedback we receive. For the most part I feel like once we make the next round of changes we will be close to what we're looking for.

Next, I am excited to announce that the new Trading System is now on OTW. We invite players to come check it out and give feedback, but please note there is a Rank/Rating 15 limit to access Trading. This is a requirement for production, so not everyone who logs into OTW will immediately be able to test the feature. We understand that may be frustrating for some players, but there wasn't a simple solution for removing it. My hope is that we'll be able to launch this feature to everyone soon.

Also the next patch will have a number of very important fixes. We were finally able to reproduce and fix the hitreg issue that has been plaguing the game.

Lastly, I know everyone has been very patient while we get organized. With many of the latency issues, hitreg, and Trading out of the way, I feel like we can now exclusively focus on the Unreal 3.5 upgrade and on the new mode. It's critical that we launch 3.5 so we can address matchmaking after that.

Have a great Labor Day weekend.

Thanks,
Matt

10 tiers isnt it too much?i think even 3 for each threat r enough if they r well defined

[MattScott 15242]

Sorry about the 7 day hold. That hapoens for new accounts, but was triggered for everyone on OTW. We are looking to fix that asap so people can test.

More matchmaking tiers ensures that all players in the system will neatly fit into a specific tier. This allows greater consistency in their matchups.

The current situation of only 3 effective tiers leaves too much room for players whose performances places them in between tiers, creating significantly inconsistent matchmaking from game to game for those players (all those players complaining about how they feel stuck between gold and silver). Which of course discourages them from playing. Edited September 1, 2018 by Nite

We have like 30-40 tiers or some shit.

Thanks for fixing the hitreg matt maby this will bring more ppl to play however what about matchmaking and threat? These 2 core game items are still extremely broken and need priority attention so the skill gap within threats isnt so great, dethreating is wiped out and lesser skilled players dont face top tier players constantly.

Any idea yet what this might mean for shotguns?

It means any balancing done will have to be redone as it was all based off of broken hitreg that only worked consistently for bots. And im not talking about just shottie balancing here I mean every weapon in the game rebalanced.
