Problem description:
Top ten 3vs3 ranking in our server:
1. Nndungu CULTIST [BoS] 4323 15 / 3 / 0
2. ICECREAM_AN THOUGHTCATCHER [D.B.] 4317 13 / 7 / 0
3. Ba_alzamon CULTIST [D.B.] 4290 9 / 5 / 0
4. CESARZ ABSORBER [D.B.] 4273 1 / 1 / 0
5. Vlade CURSED ONE [BoS] 4265 17 / 3 / 0
6. Lightboy01 ABSORBER [BoS] 4249 19 / 3 / 0
7. okruszek THOUGHTCATCHER [BoS] 4238 14 / 8 / 0
8. makavelli ABSORBER [BoS] 4229 18 / 2 / 0
9. Mortis ABSORBER [BoS] 4209 14 / 8 / 0
10. HorstHorstmann BEASTMASTER [BoS] 4202 14 / 8 / 0
As you can see there is an important issue in how rankings are calculated, as the player in 4th position has only participated twice and has won 1 fight. 5th has won 17, 6th has won 19, etc.
This is either a bug in the implementation of calculations to elaborate this ranking or a design flaw. In any case it should be fixed.

is it because of base ranking that was higher as it was linked to the level?

Not 100% sure how it works, but it might have something like the clan one does?

They might have a player potential or something similar in 3VS3? Just thinking out loud, but also could be totally wrong

The (sad) problem with arenas on UK is that there are not enough players to have a fully-fledged arena
. Believe me we are hard at work on global arenas but until then you'll have to trust me that the calculators are working properly.

Then maybe do something about it? To increase the popularity of the server...maybe iPhone app or advertise it a little better? New server? Listen to the people who've been playing the game for 7+ years and who realise what it needs before it dies out completely...

Maybe you should lose some small number of points for each round that you don't participate in. That would prevent someone from getting into a high position early in the season and then just sitting out to maintain that high ranking.

Bow... That would cause the inactives to plunge into the depths of low rankings

Hello Szeszej,
As I told you there is a problem with rankngs. I have waited for a few weeks to see the evolution, and it is pretty clear to me right now. Since I opened this thread, I have won 12 fights and I've lost 2. I was in rank #6 now I am in rank #17, even though I have 31 wins in total, more than anyone else in the server but White Lady (who is in rank #26).
I can see people with more loses than wins that are in a higher position in ranking (!) and there are many more examples that show how this ranking has serious flaws.
Regards,
Lightboy01

As I have already explained in other threads the problem is not with the ranking system itself but with the low population we have here. I once again have to promise you that with global arenas this will all be fixed but I need you to be patient for a little while longer.

As. Do not know the formula, maybe you are right. However I think that these flaws are more visible in a less populated server. Lets take a look at PL Servers, which are more populated:
1. MurDi007 R9PL POTPIONY [-PrX-] 4375 21 / 13 / 4
2. Rayneven R2PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [PSD] 4361 30 / 7 / 1
3. aegrimonia R5PL AAPACZ MYZLI [Borgir] 4342 30 / 7 / 1
4. adek444 R2PL SSAK [B-S] 4337 25 / 12 / 1
5. HIDE R2PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [PSD] 4335 30 / 7 / 1
6. mederlin R9PL AAPACZ MYZLI [-PrX-] 4326 17 / 17 / 0
7. Szynejro R9PL KULTYSTA [-PrX-] 4324 28 / 7 / 3
8. Galtha R13PL AAPACZ MYZLI [ABSURD] 4322 24 / 14 / 0
9. Alveanerle R5PL AAPACZ MYZLI [Borgir] 4312 18 / 16 / 0
10. Gombek R2PL AAPACZ MYZLI [B-S] 4307 25 / 12 / 1
11. DYFER R5PL AAPACZ MYZLI [IND] 4303 23 / 15 / 0
12. Nyarleth R9PL SSAK [-PrX-] 4290 25 / 9 / 2
13. Andreus R2PL POTPIONY [-Asylum-] 4289 23 / 15 / 0
14. Wrona R13PL AAPACZ MYZLI [ABSURD] 4287 23 / 13 / 0
15. jamik R5PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [Borgir] 4286 27 / 10 / 1
16. seamour R9PL SSAK [-NBH-] 4284 11 / 7 / 0
17. Drakanus R5PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [-BTK-] 4284 25 / 10 / 1
18. Bauhaus R9PL AAPACZ MYZLI [-NBH-] 4281 11 / 17 / 0
19. Fight3r R2PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [-Asylum-] 4281 23 / 15 / 0
20. Izaleska R9PL SSAK [-PrX-] 4279 15 / 19 / 0
21. NomenOmen R5PL SSAK [Borgir] 4276 18 / 18 / 2
22. heimdall R9PL SSAK [-PrX-] 4274 24 / 7 / 3
23. heimdall R2PL SSAK [-Asylum-] 4273 24 / 14 / 0
24. Hermann vonRuhaufest R9PL KULTYSTA [-PrX-] 4273 26 / 5 / 3
25. Ontrax R13PL AAPACZ MYZLI [MUZG] 4272 25 / 11 / 0
26. Alajas R9PL AAPACZ MYZLI [-NBH-] 4269 18 / 17 / 1
27. Aquel R13PL AAPACZ MYZLI [ABSURD] 4265 23 / 11 / 0
28. BarteX R13PL WAADCA ZWIERZT [ABSURD] 4263 18 / 16 / 0
29. Khallayne R5PL SSAK [Sanguis] 4263 21 / 15 / 0
30. 666 R9PL AAPACZ MYZLI [-PrX-] 4258 25 / 11 / 2
In the rank #16 there is a player who has won 11 fights. I can see 13 players below that one that have won way more battles.
As a starter, a small fix would be to apply bowmore's suggestion, although more things probably need to be done.

Szeszej, as you can see if you take a look at the current ranking, the problem is still there. I gave you the solution long time ago, it is easy to implement.
1. ICECREAM_AN 4487 12 / 4 / 0
2. Blodsugare 4368 0 / 0 / 0
3. White Lady 4340 23 / 3 / 0
4. Makavelli 4336 24 / 4 / 0
Now please explain how after 28 fights, Blodsugare is the 2nd one of the server. I can tell you, you forgot to detract points for each player not participating in fights. If ICECREAM_AN wants to finish 1st the only thing he has to do is not to join or start any other arena for the rest of the season.
Easy to understand.
Easy to fix.
Now please go tell Konrad and fix it, it is rather frustrating to be active and see how inactive people gets rewarded :/

Hi,
lets make it clear:
1. - You want them to be demoted so AT THE season END they would not be ranked high if not participated actively?
Yes/No?
2. The present system is to ensure that person will not sit inactively LOSING rank and then participating and winning every fight. That would result in quick rank increase and TON of Arena points.
To solve both problems I would rather opt for a post season points loss.
Basically at the season end inactive player will lose 10 points for each arena he was missed.
This will impact only LADDER and will not influence Arena fights balance (high levs will remain high during season) forcing them to fight against equal opponents even if missing some fights.
Please post Your comments.
Regards,
SM

not too good for low LVL players...
to keep the balance at the begining of a new season, the players gets not the amount of Experience he have, but his LVL*3 or 5
for example i have LVL 105,2 (will be nice to keep this 0.2) *5 = 526 points. so i will never face a LVL 1 Player, and he will never face me
also must be a supplementary condition, that you can't face a player with 20 LVLs lower that you.
So if someone don't join arenas, he will keep his 526 points but he will never face someone too lower and he will not be able to rise very fast, he will face players with similar ranking but from his LVL - maximum 20 ....
(I hope I was understood)

We will add a feature that will subtract 10 points when you do not participate in 3v3 arena.
Still it will be a bit of work to make it thus we do not know WHEN it will be ready as it has low priority.
Best Regards,
SM
