Fine tuning of the rating-system, SL Options

[sl.ErdnussJack]

It is fact that many players in the Top100 play only once within 7 days for a short time. They don't want to mess up their ranking. Unfortunately, this isn't according to a ranking and to offer such players an incentive for playing and not penalize active players respectively we have made a "short-lived" ranking now.
This means one doesn't play, the rating is made go down easily so (after 24 hours of inactivity). The more inactive player and the higher his rating, the more steeply he falls in the ranking. The whole isn't as bad as it listens to it here.

For example, we have a 20-rating player: If he plays every two days then he loses every two days 0.03 rating points. If he plays only every 5 days then he loses 0.33 each within 5 days. Within 14 days abstinence he loses already 3.02 points. However, these are all values which one can easily make up again. How we recognize does the new modification apply primarily to players who don't play.
Active players are virtually untouched of this and that is also not bad.

In addition, we have reduced the minimum player limit from 8 to 6 players test wise and therefore more players should get a valid session. If the practice tests are positive we keep the new player limit.

Does no one here play to just play anymore? FFS, stop yapping about your falling rank Eragon...SL could easily stop keeping ranks, then what would you do.

lol i "just play" each time. I am a Senior Admin (a top admin) on the NWO servers so its always just fun for me when I play on our servers. But this site is always good for when someone says I suck, I can be like bam I'm ranked 10th now get off our servers lol. I think that it would be good if it kept track of kills and deaths too. Itd be fun to see how big the body count is :)

as we told you many times before:
There is no way to count Kills/Deaths without a logfile!
and Kills and Deaths are saying nothing about skill or anything!

The only information a server gives us, are:
Playername,
Servername (IP),
XP of player
mapname
ping of player
(and some other informations, like mod, version, and so on)

nothing else, so the sl engine has to calculate the rest by itself, and the new system is better then the first one.

Its also impossible to force every serveradmin to "stream" there serverlogfiles and would take a huge performace for the SL

and for all who just play for their statistics -> go and play counterstrike!
Where's the good old time where everyone just played for fun?

We never claimed that our statistic is 100percent perfect or something, but at least you can compare you with other players and have a compromised statistic for all public servers, without having troubles to set up a streaming server

So, stop whining and play for fun!
