Latest Changes to Pilot Rankings and Server Ratings
#1
Posted March 19 2013 - 11:06 AM
Team HAWKEN has been diligently watching how players are getting into games since the Raider Update earlier this month. We noticed that players have been having difficulty finding matches due to our recent rating adjustments.
We've changed the rating for Advanced servers down to 1650 from 1700. The rating range has also changed to +/-125.
This change should pull players closer into their range and make the servers more widespread. The skills within each server should now be fairer for all players. Please note that these changes are not final and that we'll continue to hone in on the right values.

Please tell me that's a typo/bad wording, and that you mean +/- 325 rating difference.
Because otherwise you just made things even worse, and i might as well not bother with Hawken for a while.

" Players with Pilot Ratings below 1475 can now always join Beginner servers while players with Pilot Ratings above 1700 can now always join Advanced servers."
They're increasing the range for high level players by lowering the "advanced" limit down to 1650.

Anyone above 1650 can play in any 1650+ server. A 1700 player can't join 1500 games anymore. They will be forced to "play up" if you will. This gives veterans more people to play with, without allowing veterans (1800+) to play with 1600 level players.
It's more or less implementing a soft cutoff at 1650, and a hard cutoff at 1775. If your MMR climbs too far beyond 1650 (1775 limit), you will only be able to play with 1650+ players.
I'm impressed with the way they have chosen to address the issue.

Glad someone else understood what they did.

All other UK TDM lobbies are under 1800 rank or FULL.
So what has this change accomplished for us high ranked players in the UK/EU region ?
Nothing.
Nada.
Zip.
Still can't play a decent game.

No nice way to put it, so i'm not going to sugarcoat it.
Also, i suppose you missed the part where i said "All other UK TDM lobbies are under 1800 rank or FULL" ?
My only choice is to either play with the A-holes, or sit in an empty lobby, hoping that enough people will eventually join...
Which in the last few days has proven rather pointless, as most of the time after 10-20 minutes i'm still sitting in an empty or nearly empty server with no game going on.
But as i already stated elsewhere, i'm done with Hawken, gonna take a 30 day break and hope things improve.

I understand you have full servers, as everyone faces that battle. However, the ones under 1800 shouldn't matter since all pilots above 1650 can always join an advanced server. As long as it's 1650+ you can join it.
Either way, I'm not trying to argue with you or convince you of anything. Just pointing that out. Most everyone reaches a point in which they need, or want, to take a break. If you've reached that point, go for it! I enjoyed seeing you on the US East servers from time to time though. We'll see you later.

Either i'm experiencing a bug then, or something's not right with the UK servers

Much appreciated. Unfortunately my current list of available TDMs on US West isn't reflecting much of a change:

The 1650 cutoff does seem like a more realistic number for players to reach and I'm just crossing my fingers that within the next week we'll see more advanced servers popping up. Thank you for acting on this so swiftly and not letting it sit. As you are probably aware, this problem is really harming the lifeblood of the game and it is not something that one can just grin and bear for long.
OK, enough of the ominous statements, off to play!
