As was announced before, the new ranking system based on monthly periods will become active starting from February 1st, 12:00 PM GMT (21:00 Tokyo, 8:00 PM Beijing). Prizes and rating for December and January will be processed by the current system for the last time and then the ranked schedule, rating recalculation and the prize fund will be significantly changed. How exactly?
CHANGES IN RANKED SEASONS SCHEDULE
Starting from February, ranked seasons will be separated from seasonal updates which bring new content. Instead, each ranked season will last for exactly 1 calendar month and ends on the 1st day of the next month, at 12:00 PM GMT. Each month the rating of all players will be recalculated, and prizes will be distributed accordingly. As a result of this change, the ranked schedule should be more predictable and the competition for higher places and better prizes more dynamic.
CHANGES IN THE RATING RESET
After the end of the February season and in all subsequent ranked seasons players rating won't be reset to 100. Instead, their rating will be recalculated according to their results in the past month.
- Players from the league of Oligarchs (rating 120.01+) start a new season with 112.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Governors (rating 110.01-120) start a new season with 108.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Deputies (rating 105.01-110) start a new season with 104.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Bureaucrats and the league of Politicians (rating 95.01-105) start a new season with 100.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Swindlers (rating 90.01-95) start a new season with 96.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Slackers (rating 80.01-90) start a new season with 92.00 rating points.
- Players from the league of Beggars (rating 0.01-80) start a new season with 88.00 rating points.
This way, those players who were successful enough in the past season, will partly keep their rating and won't be forced to start each season from the very bottom. And the players who didn't do too well in a season will get a boost that pushes them closer to the starting rating of 100.00 points but won’t bring them back automatically.
CHANGES IN THE PRIZE FUND
Only the players who have finished at least 1 ranked session in the previous season are eligible for getting a prize.
Top-10 players of each server receive medals and the following prizes:
01. 12 regular chests, 5 seasonal chests of the current season, the trail of the current season
02. 10 regular chests, 5 seasonal chests of the current season, all contraband items of the current season
03. 10 regular chests, 4 seasonal chests of the current season, all rare items of the current season
04. 8 regular chests, 4 seasonal chests of the current season
05. 8 regular chests, 3 seasonal chests of the current season
06. 6 regular chests, 3 seasonal chests of the current season
07. 6 regular chests, 2 seasonal chests of the current season
08. 4 regular chests, 2 seasonal chests of the current season
09. 4 regular chests, 1 seasonal chests of the current season
10. 2 regular chests, 1 seasonal chests of the current season
- Each player from the League of Oligarchs (rating 120+), including the players from top-10, receives 1 regular chest and 1 seasonal chests of the current season
- Each player from the League of Governors (rating 110.01-120) receives 1 seasonal chests of the current season
- Each player from the League of Deputies (rating 105.01-110) receives 1 regular chest
- Each player from the League of Politicians (rating 100.01-105) receives 15 charges
- Each player from the League of Bureaucrats (rating 95.01-100) receives 10 charges
- Each player from the League of Swindlers (rating 90.01-95) receives 7 charges
- Each player from the League of Slackers (rating 80.01-90) receives 5 charges
- Each player from the League of Beggars (rating 0.01-80) receives 3 charges
Although the number of prizes for top-10 players has been slightly reduced in comparison to the previous seasons, it is compensated by the increased frequency of getting the prizes and by the possibility to get a reward even if you weren't able to achieve the top-10.
It took us some time but we think that with these changes we were able to remove the key cons of the current ranked system: seasons that are too long and end unpredictably; the necessity to start each new season from the ground up; the "all or nothing" prize system where only 20 players out of a few thousand are rewarded at the end of each season. We hope that you will find the new ranked system more transparent, predictable, dynamic and fair in terms of prize distribution and rating recalculation. Thank you for playing our game!
