Dragonflight Season 2 Rating Update

Can you provide some further clarification on this post please?

What number do you deem to be substantial, 50, 100, 150? Same for steadily increasing, is this 15 per week 20 etc.

Also you haven’t stated if this will affect all brackets, I assume that’s the case but it’s not clear.

Thanks

Why stop there?

Maybe we should let players buy Rank 1 titles with Marks of Honor, too.
We don’t want to be gatekeepers, do we?

Sorry. I thought the multiple dots showed I was being sarcastic to the person saying it’s too late. The season is still young…

like some here have said the system is outdated, if blizz has game built around the concept of pyramid of different level players where players take from others to climb then you either need to have certain ammount of players in this said system or you need to inflate the mmr when there is no players

you cant cap mmr and have month of r1s and 11 season glads on 1800mmr, you just cant. people quit the game and then the system fail even harder

Current system is as outdated as vanil honor grind, where you had to compete versus your own faction for rank with who farms most honor for the week

I really hope to see day when wow pvp gets modernized and there is example different brachets which you climb and then stay on your brachets till some make smurf account and go pepega on lower brachets again

Either rework the design or never cap the mmr like this again

Games are meant to be played, the whole point of mmo is that there are players. That is the scenario we want aim towards. Not have r1s and 11 season glads farm 1800mmr for months and completely alianate everyone else from the game till they come back for the last month

People want to play, and everyone wants to feel like its fair game if its competition, just like you dont put a moped in formula race and suspect the match be fair

It really should be self explanatory why it isnt good to cap mmr or keep high rated people very long periods on low mmrs where they do not belong

Btw blizz, it’s outrageous to post 1 thread here and then never reply again…

It would be somewhat acceptable for a 1 man indy developer.

I would love to see the P&L on this game, the EBITDA it makes and realize there is room for some new key role openings

Sure 5 weeks in and its almost over.

Yeah… the sarcasm wasn’t clear sorry :sweat_smile:

Just don’t reset mmr from the last seasons as much as you do, make it like maybe just -200 or 300 from the last season or keep the cap =3000 rating for some weeks. because people wanna play from season to season on their raitings and see if they are better right now or not, playing on 1900-2000 mmr vs players who had 2600-3000 that’s not right. I think your artificial downgrading is not the right system, I wanna play more but I know with my 1900 as a rdru I will not up much more and most likely I will just stuck here despite my exp are much higher than 1900 or maybe even lose my rating to 1800. Right now pvp looks like you don’t need to play all the season but should start it only the last month of the season because only by that time you can take something.

The reason they do it, is to timegate the rewards, that are tied to ratings.

If for example the MMR goes up to 3500 and then they end up reducing it by “only” 500 for start of a new season, you are gonna have 50 glads 1. day of the season and 1000 ppl with mount within a week.

That’s the issue with having rewards being tied to fixed ratings instead of percentages, like it was in the past because back then, it didn’t matter what rating a season would start at and go up to, in the end only a certain % of players were getting their mounts+titles.

You adding this ONLY NOW? So much bad and mediocre players losing to top players, after so much tryhard for nothing? You making right decisions so slow?What is bad that top players will finally go farther when they deserved to be and stop recking less skilled players? People were stucked on same ratings for months despite all the tryhard and it took you so much to finally add mmr inflation :joy: what a joke

so you confess that you wanted non-casual, boosting, no-lifers teams to reck less skilled teams by not providing inflation in time and restricting mmr cap so that abovementioned ultra skilled players could continue to farm others?
GG, blizz. That’s all many of players needed to hear to unsub and go play other mmo games

Ffs I missed an opportunity then :s

(tbh it’s weird cause it looks like censor oÔ)

It’s been 6 months since you said you were thinking of ways to incentivize healers, can we get an update on that?

Thats blizz for ya haha.
They are now patchin D4 on the fly haha. WoW is death in their eyes.

they also removed my comment about mmr cap with notification of “Your post has been removed because the account posting has no active game time.”

I have auto-renew and im mid of current sub so there is no other reason than “bug” or some blizz mod didnt like what i said so i said it again and i can keep saying what i think i really dont care less

I pay for this game for almost 18 years of expansions and they take my money when they should be paying me to play this constant beta phase we have pvp on and the neglect or lack of content we get for pvp

Original accounts are getting permabanned for jokes or random swear and I look forum and I see people constantly using words that have got my accounts ban when we have cringe mode of shuffle with bots running rampant but say one swear and u get ban for it

I could say something about known cheaters coming from priva to take 3k in retail with scripts but thats against forum policy to name them, but god forbid you say a swear in chat or call someone “bad”

So lets play chats disabled in a mmo cause thats good :ok_hand:

On a positive the sate of this games pvp is so bad that it can only get better from here, any improvement on the game on pvp they implement is a win

I kinda wish they were abit more consistent with their rules on all platforms including the game, but its like they have different rules everywhere xd
So it becomes more of an annoyance when u write something exactly the same on 2 different chats and in one you get either banned/timed out while on the other its perfectly fine x)

Classic route of Blizzard time gating WoW content… It is sad that we had to wait 1 month in the live game for changes to be made.

Why can’t we have a middle ground ??? Like shadowlands s2 inflation still hard to get but achievable!!!

Why does 3s have to be THE bracket? Stop forcing us to play this abomination. Last season has shown that solo shuffle is the most played bracket by a landslide.

Stop forcing us into 3s. We have had this for almost 2 decades now. I don’t want to be facing the same meta comps day in and out. I don’t want to be Cannon fodder for the teams that are playing for the last 10 years. I have no friends that want to play arena and I much more enjoy the chaos that is solo shuffle instead of scripted 3s.

Rather invest in the game mode that is enjoyed by the majority of players. Only a fraction of players enjoys 3s as you can see on the numbers of AWC viewers and actual players. If I remember correctly the solo shuffle tournament had double the viewers of awc
