Attention Airmen,
Our battlefield is evolving, presenting new challenges and demanding greater resilience from each of us. To meet these challenges head-on, we're proud to introduce an innovative League System that brings fair competition to all players!
The League System in a Nutshell
Picture ZGS’s League system as a rigorous training regimen where every Airman is called upon to demonstrate their mettle on the battlefield. Just as in the military, we are organized into Divisions, each exemplifying a distinct level of performance and combat readiness. Your performance in weekly leaderboard events will serve as your battlefield merit, determining your ascent through these divisions.
The League System operates on a seasonal basis, spanning four weeks, with each week hosting a leaderboard event. Engage in these events to not only earn regular leaderboard rewards but also seize the opportunity for additional seasonal rewards at the end of the season!
Understanding Divisions and PWR Rating
Divisions and PWR Rating
Our divisions, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Elite, and Legend, symbolize the hierarchy of combat performance. Within each division, there are three subdivisions, providing a clear path for advancement.
Your PWR Rating, or Power Rating, is your measure of effectiveness within these divisions, determined by your performance and the number of runs in leaderboard events.
Each division has access to a different event difficulty with a higher Max score. The Target Score is a percentage of this Max Score, changing with each division. If you score below the Target, you lose PWR points; exceed it, and you gain. The points gained or lost depend on how much you surpass or fall short of the Target Score.
Let’s clarify: Your PWR rating reflects your performance, firepower, and commitment to engagement.
The Spread of Players and Dynamic Competition when Leagues first start
We place you initially based on your player rank, ensuring a fair spread across the divisions. But remember, your division placement isn't static. Through your engagement and performance in leaderboard events, you can rise or fall within your division, keeping the competition dynamic and fair for all:
Placement based on player rank:
Rank/Division
2/B3
3-4/B2
5-7/B1
8-11/S3
12-15/S2
16-20/S1
21-25/G3
26-29/G2
30/G1
The Heart of the Action
Localized Competition
Gone are the days of broad, impersonal competition. Now, you'll compete within a smaller, more focused group. This league-based segmentation limits each group to a maximum of 50 players, including yourself, creating a more personal and achievable competition that encourages camaraderie and healthy rivalries.
Weekly Leaderboard Events
Each week, you'll compete in leaderboard events, where your performance directly impacts your PWR rating. Real-time updates keep you informed about your progress, ensuring that every move counts toward your advancement.
The boosters will turn into Resource Multiplier
Boosters will transform into resource multipliers, amplifying rewards like metal supplies, parts, and gold after each run. This will foster more strategic gameplay and fair competition. The multiplier will apply only to seasonal league events.
Demotion: Keeping the Stakes High
To maintain the competitive spirit, players must remain active. Not participating in an event (0 runs) will result in a PWR penalty, ensuring that only the most dedicated Airmen rise to the top.
Rewards: A Testament to Valor
Seasonal Rewards
As you ascend through the divisions, your rewards grow in value, recognizing your commitment and skill. Keep an eye on the Divisions Overview screen to see the divisions/subdivisions with the PWR rating thresholds needed to promote, the seasonal rewards for the 5 tiers, and a Top 25 best players.
Top 25 Players
The top 25 roster stands as the benchmark of excellence, showcasing the legendary Airmen who have transcended the ordinary ranks. Upon ascending to the esteemed Legend 1 division, these Airmen gain the capability to accumulate unlimited PWR, marking the commencement of a relentless struggle for supremacy. They battle to maintain their dominance at the pinnacle of the hierarchy and toreceive exclusive prototype weapons.
Weekly Leaderboard Rewards
Your dedication to weekly leaderboard events does not go unnoticed. Based on your standing, you will be duly rewarded. As you advance through the divisions, expect missions to escalate in difficulty, but rest assured, the rewards will match the challenge, growing more substantial with each triumph.
Enhancements to Playerbase UI
We've updated the user interface to better reflect your progress and standing. Your PWR rating and current division now proudly sit alongside your player rank, giving you a clear view of your battlefield performance.
Season Reset: A Chance for Redemption
At the end of each season, there's a reset that brings you back two subdivisions – a chance for a fresh start. Your former glory isn't forgotten; instead, it's factored into your new baseline, ensuring that your past achievements continue to inspire your future endeavors.
Dev Q&A Session
We would like to invite you to share your feedback during the DEV Q&A session to help improve the League system. Additionally, we encourage you to delve into the League system once it's released, as experiencing it firsthand may provide clarity and inspire more precise questions.
Join our Discord community to participate in the Q&A Session: https://discord.com/invite/BthCgFdaBA
Our team will return with answers, but not all at once, as it will take some time to process all your questions. We appreciate your patience.
Get ready, Airmen, to battle zombies and make your mark on the battlefield! Let your valor shine as you advance through the divisions and carve your legacy on the battlefield!
