Pimp my SL again... Options

[sl.Binaural]

Winter is comming! Evenings getting longer! Time to pimp the SL!

That is why we used our braincells to let the SL shine in a new glance! There have been so many tipps and ideas in the meanwhile that it was time to implement them. You can compare it nearly to a relaunch.
Many features and essential changes were made. To give a little foretaste to what you can expect we provide you with some info which you might look forward to:

• The biggest change is a comletely new trackercore, which lets run the SL much faster and stable. At the same time we are able to establish a new rating-system, wich is essentially fairer and more clear-transparent and no more manipulable. Also we are able to provide more than one huge rankinglist in the future.
• There will be an entire over-worked sessioncalculation, which is much more informative. Additionally the annoying excluding of maps and servers will be omitted.
• Abutting to the in-game-browser the SL gets a truely personalizable serverlist inclusive its own permanent-filter. You will only see what you want to see!
• Certainly through this relaunch the SL have been optimised in the core to push the serverscans from 90 seconds to glaring 30 seconds.
  Based on the motto: "D(G)one in 30 seconds"

With more stats, more speed and even more features you will get the best SplatterLadder ever!

The new SL will raise next Wednesday (25th of october). Because the ip-adress is being also changed there will be short downtime of 2 or 3 hours during that day. The forum is not affected.

Stay tuned, your SL-Team!

Warmong puts it BEST. I just got off a map where I have nearly double the SPM of the avg SPM. 2 player changed name and both of them got +0.50, and I got a rewarding -0.12. those 2 players got +0.90 and +0.40. How the hell is that fair? they both have a rating of 0 and just screw up the whole scale. I dont think anything is FIXED. In fact, anyone who change name should be DROPPEd from the session calculation. ONLY players who entered and finished the map without changing name should be pooled together for calculation purposes.

What the f!_!ck.

ps. eventually, people just wont care about the ladder anymore. (unless these 0 rating fckers get taken out of the averaging) Although the SL team has spent considerable time and effort on the new ranking system. I am affraid it's killing people who enjoy the ladder rather than making it more enjoyable.
