Ranks; the aftermath
So now that everybody is settled in and the new ranks have been in place for quite some time, could we have a second discussion on them?
Has your opinion changed from the first few weeks to now? Do you like the new monthly event for the 32 top ranked players?
Keep in mind that Hampa has said the ranks are not done yet.
Rumor says he's now tackling the new warring system as a first priority, which is expected to take a longer amount of time.
Here's what I think.
Initially I absolutely hated it, and couldn't bother going on the game anymore, since to me the ELO increase/decrease is what made me try for each match.
It was a competition with myself, that with the new system isn't really possible. Now, I go ingame more again and I play for other reasons. I enjoy playing in betting servers, and dueling more, but rarely hang out with my friends/clan mates in a private server unless we're practicing something specific.
Seemingly nobody uses the ranked servers, so I'd expect I'm not alone in this.
We also now have the new monthly event for the 32 top ranks, which I personally feel is one of the only steps in the right direction, however brackets don't really contain many professional player, imo.
Thoughts on this? Like I asked above, how do you feel now compared to a few months ago when this was implemented?

I don't really like the new system.
If you aren't one of the first people to be fighting after reset your screwed, and if you are and your gone for a day or 2 you are left in the dust and completely fucked over

Just a note the ranks are not done, a few updates have been suggested and discussed wirhin the GMs but due to a few pivotal people being somewhat inactive, or being busy with other things its not being pushed forward so much.
The fact is the new system is really not that nuch different from the old system, the basis upon which the ranks work, Elo, is the same. So the only difference are the rooms and the resets. I cant really go into detail about the changes etc because I dont have the go ahead, but i do think they are a step in the right direction. For a truly good ranked system it is clear that some form of matchmaking is needed, but thats not really something GMs can sort on our own, so I will avoid discussing it here for now

Fair enough, although since nobody is using the rooms I think it's still a big/important change.
On another note though, is matchmaking possible with the amount of people we have playing? Would it not just be unable to find matches for the top ranked players all the time?
Hope I'm not asking about stuff you're not allowed to talk about, heh.

I think that would be a problem too, there certainly would be problems, the fact is ToriBash is not really that suited to competitive gaming, but with with a search system that expands the allowed Elo difference with time it could work ok.
