Online Tournament Ranks – Earn your place as Hokage! | Forums

[Ubi.LevelUp]

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to see that many of you are very excited about our new Online Tournament Rankings! I took the liberty of asking our developers to explain in great detail exactly how it works.

CLICK HERE FOR PICTURE

Everyone starts as a Student-ranked ninja. The goal is to become a Hokage-level ninja by earning experience points and being among the best Jonin-ranked ninjas on the Leaderboard. Experience is earned after winning a match, or to a lesser extent by losing with honors (hurting your opponent at least 50% his maximum health). Once you gain enough experience points to pass to the next rank, which can always be seen in a [current/needed] format, you get an exam match. This match earns you no experience points, but makes you acquire the rank you accumulated experience points to get. Then the cycle starts again until you reach and acquired Jonin rank, after that you need to keep gaining experience points to raise your total and be among the top Jonins, which nets you the Hokage title and bragging rights.

As you level up, you will always be fighting similar-leveled characters, with a few exceptions (which I'll explain later). Students can fight in the basic street map against Students, Graduates and Genins. Once you reach Genin, you have to make one last match in the street level before moving up to the forest level, where you fight Genins, Chunins and Jonins. Only Jonins and Hokages get to fight in the Tower map. The Street map earns you base experience points, forest matches earn you much more experience points while Tower matches earn you the most points.

The only times you get to fight people widely out of your level range is upon a fresh log-in. No matter where you were when you logged out of the online tournament, when you log back in, you need to make one match in the street level, no matter your rank. Hence, a Student can fight a Hokage who just woke up and is logging on and needs to move back up to the Tower level for greater base experience awards.

But fear not, for if/when you manage to beat one of your superiors, the game rewards you with more experience points, the larger the rank difference, the greater the gains. The opposite holds true as well, for a higher ranked player trying to constantly fight lower-ranked foes will get a penalty, greater the difference, the greater the penalty. In the end, our Student facing off against a Hokage will more than likely earn twice the amount of experience points, while the Hokage, at best, might earn half.

Hope you enjoyed that detailed explanation!

Yeah it sounds awesome.

Is there a limit to how many Hokages there can be (eg the top 20 or something)? Or is it more a matter of once you are other a particular points threshold then you are Hokage forever?

[NICKWILLY04]

Awesome. I wonder if you lose points for losing a lot though. Or if there is a disconnect penalty. Love that there's a good ranking system though.
