Today I have prepared this thread after my long pondering in perfect secrecy. I have observed the data: mountainous volumes of data, overflowing rivers of information, peaks of statistics, and valleys of records. In the pristine dark, cocooned in cogitation, I listened to the dying screams and horrific squeals of Hawken players from around the world, perishing in the rising flames of conflict within unbalanced server after unbalanced server. Something was amiss, not all the factors were accounted -- an incomplete solution is no solution at all. The next step must correct the catastrophe that reaved the hope and joy of all Hawken players.

 

The crises at hand, that I henceforth shall name the World MMR Balance Despairfulness, is one by which all players suffer and connect. The contradiction however lies in the twisting cycles of devouring and being devoured, consumed and ingested, gnashing and struggling. What logic might describe this torment unending, this turbulent dance of curses?

 

What do the players need? To win? To lose? To inflate their MMRs, or to plunge that idolized number into the depths in order to harvest the souls of the newborn?

 

What does Hawken need? What does an aspiring game require, when its stale, encrusted player base rots and stagnates? The misers watch in lazed contentment as the world of Hawken writhes and gasps for life.

 

What this calls for is an ultimate solution to end this suffering, this misery.

 

And this Ultimate Solution is thus: an exodus. Voluntarily or not: the banning of all players whose MMR is above the Median Player MMR. This perfect obliteration must be implemented to deliver all those suffering under the oppression of the titans, and the Median Player shall bring that deliverance upon their back. Mercy is their left hand, a shield for the broken and weary, and in their right hand a weapon capable of piercing the heavens: the glass ceiling, as is the case.

 

This is the Crisis Aversion Tripartate that I foretell: a triple-event annihilation that will end with the beginning of a new era of Hawken... one that shall avail a new generation of players.

Yeah. No. fuzzy bunny that. I didn't slave over this community for literally hundreds of hours for that. I love this game. Something needs to be done. Not that. If you're joking,  I do not find it amusing.

See, Merl, Dew,

 

If we ban the top half, immediately, there's a new half-way point (median).  So we ban that top half...

 

If we did this once per day, then in 11.1111 days, we've banned all but 1 player.

 

And WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW wants to be that Last Person Standing.

I would likely be slain in the first iteration of the flame. However, I offer myself up to the conflagration, to save this wretched wasteland.

That's a terrible idea. What were you thinking!?

I can see from your use of ellipses that you doubt your own words. You are your own worst enemy. And mine? None, for I have no enemies.

Such are the signs.

Perhaps that is necessary.

In all seriousness I would like an mmr buffer that takes sudden declines in mmr into consideration and maybe prevents them from happening. The player base can skew mmr as can factors a player cannot control. I myself have my mmr tank because of lag whether that be on my end or the server's it shouldn't matter. This is my favorite game ever and I hate to think I get rated badly just because I'm enjoying the game too much even at 180+ ping to want to stop 90% of the time. I hate to also think that these factors cause me to ruin other's fun when joining what I originally see as a innocent two star ranked match when in fact it's noobs and two other people at my level dominating the match. With a few players practically dictating the outcome of a match if one leaves all bets are off. I for one am the kind of person to play in a server for often more than a full map rotation even in those super long 24 man stalemate games. If this thread is not the place for these thoughts then please forgive me. I just had an inspiration of thought that I felt I could cohesively put into words and I took the opportunity to share them. I sometimes have a very difficult time trying to accurately put what I think into the right words and I get a nasty case of writer's block so forgive me.

I agree. Having ranked and unranked servers would help with that. Mayhem servers should be unranked IMO.

Rereading this, WWWW, I am kind of amazed at the perfect line your tone and word choice straddles between serious and obviously trolling.  You just keep me guessin', and that's worth something.

Let's assume that that impression also reflects my actual opinion on the matter. What do you think of the idea of a population of players whose respective game-time ages are extremely top-heavy (i.e. most players have played for a long time and have participated in the forum), and that this disproportionately affects game feedback, either negatively or positively?


Thank you for your time,

Indeed, I think this is probably the case, which is why new user feedback is paramount and invaluable.

Let us assume that this is the case. How would you like to gauge the community's responses in past threads opened by new posters?

EDIT: Additionally, the regard for the posts by new users in general?

They all fall in line towards a similar target. I think we can both agree that most of the active posters are likely near, or in the high tier. To that end, I think we are trying to be as unbiased and objective as much as possible. Fortunately for our community, it's a strong one, and that'll shape Hawken's future.

Just eliminate all players who haven't logged in for 90 days from the MMR calculation and a new, more accurate, more manageable figure for MMR will instantly "arise from the ashes".


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
