Ranking/Rating Changes
We are making several adjustments to the current ranking system with the following goals:
Make it harder to achieve Legendary Rating
Decrease the time to climb to your expected Rating range once you reach Legendary
Reduce the punishment for not hitting 10 wins at high rating values
Legendary players now start at 800 Rating
Rating losses have been significantly reduced, more so at the lower wins end
Reduced the ranking point changes for Gold and Diamond tier, requiring a higher average wins to achieve the next tier
Economy Changes
Starting Income 5 (from 7)
We are trying to shift some stuff around in the economy, so we are lowering the base Income but improving a variety of economy nodes
Tournament Mode Testing
Tournament Mode has arrived for Public Testing
As this is a testing environment, please be aware that there may be bugs, interruptions and unannounced downtime/maintenance of this branch
In order to play Tournament Mode, you must manually switch to the Public Test Realm branch on Steam
You can do this by right-clicking on the Bazaar in your Steam Library, selecting Properties and finding Game Versions and Betas
Enter the following Steam Access Code under Private Versions to unlock the Branch: 17IR8wb70MJOxCCh
Once the version is unlocked, you can select PTR in the list
This will initiate a download
Note that you will need to use this same menu to return back to the normal version of the game
After the game updates, you will need to create a new account
This account will only be usable on this branch and does not interact with your normal Bazaar account
If the game doesn't load properly, try using Verify Game Files as switching branches like this can often cause issues
Tournament Mode can be freely shared/streamed by all
