So here is something that needs to be fixed. (rank system) | Forums

[coopamatic]

This is probably a semi rare problem that not many people have because there are some pretty specific things that need to happen before you will ever notice it really.

First, you need to get dropped connections during ranked games, alot of them. As we all know this will keep your level nice and crappy, 0.

Then, you need to play alot of games. Legit games without cheats and against decent-good players so you stand as much chance to lose as win. The bad connection that you have that causes all the drops in the first place and also causes things like spies to snap your neck from in front of you, spies seeming unhitable by everything and anything, and causes you, as a spy, to get mowed down by mercs at a constance will go a long way to making this happen.

So now, if your like me , you have close to -1000 Spy points and over +1000 Merc points. You are a level 1. Without all of the drops you would be at least a level 5 and this would probably not really effect you, but it does and here is how it does, or will.

When your Merc points get over 1000, it seems like there is some kind of bug within the rank system that it no longer reads your actual level, 1 (because of connection drops), it instead, for games where you are the Merc, is reading your 1000 points and is ranking you a level 10.

So here is the point of this little rant. I just got back up to level 1 for the first time since the scores were reset. Sad I know, but I get dropped alot and I'm a bad enough player on my own witout lossing 100 points for nothing .

So here is the set up, I'm a level one, I'm playing a level 7 and a level 9. Their spies, me and my partner are mercs. We lose. I lose 13 points when I should have lost three I think.

Another set up. I'm playing two level 3's. I win and win 0-3 points. I lose and lose 13-17.

I'm a level 1. The way the rank system is running with this bug, I'll be lucky to be able to keep a level 1. It won't be long before the 0 comes back I'm thinking when I have to win 17 in a row before I can lose one game as a Merc to break even.

Anyone else fit the criteria out there and having this problem. I just don't see this one getting fixed for soem reason because I don't think enough people could actually have this problem to bring it to their attention.

Maybe I'm not the only one though.

I also had a problem. I was 260+ points in the hole and fought my way back as a rank 1. I then was playing a game as a merc and lost.Yet I was still 16 to the good. I then won the next game as a spy. Went back up to 26. I played the next round as a merc again ( same people, same game without ever leaving)and lost .It then said I had a -100 point penalty. I never left the game. I never left a ranked game since I've been playing. I cant understand why this happend. Can anyone tell me.

i can't tell you why this happened but your not the only one it has happened to me on three seperate occasions. i am also nearing the -1000 as a spy and +1000 as a merc, i'll probably be there within the next couple of days. i'll let you know if the same thing happens to me.

What is with all these anti depressents these days? I mean, they have them for kids now! When I was a kid, my dad's idea of an anti depressent was to hold my head under the bathwater until I got a little more excited about life.

Yeah please let me know if this happens to you when you hit the -1000/+1000 mark 420. I'd be interested to know. I hate to tell you that it probably will. It's fairly agravating.

I guess I'll have to try to other poster's idea and just never lose.

I do play a decent amount of free games too, for the poster that said play free games, but don't care for them as much. I see what the guy is saying and all, it would solve the problem, but it leaves a bigger one.

How many times can you play death match? Or predator? Or tag?

How many times can you enjoy playing lesser competion because most of, not all, of the better players play ranked games, not free.

Free games are fun, but they are not as competitive because there is nothing at risk for either side. Free games with your friends are great because of all the garbage that goes back and forth inbetween match's. "Dude that was so funny! You were just sitting there and I was like 'Oh! He is going to be p!ssed about this one'".

I want to play a competitive game and I would like my rank to reflect my level of play. That's not so wrong.

Yeah i also hate this system cause i just started a few weeks ago. I jumped into some games right off the bat not knowing anything about the game or ranking. so i played and i died almost immiedietly. and being as impatient as i am i left the game in seek of more games. I repeated this way for a week or so, thats when i started to learn about the ranking system. Now here i am with a -800 ranking status and no way to bring it up. all i can do is pray they reset the scores soon.

P.S. Im lookin for some 1 to join my clan Email me at Hawaiiankid123@yahoo.com
