Blizzard can you confirm the ranking mistake

You can only get 4 ranks a week no matter how much rp you get… if you got rank 4 you reached the max most likely…

This needs to be answered. EU has already had their second reset and there were no changes whatsoever from the original system. We had a blue post saying we would have changes to ranking but the observable data is clear that those were not implemented. We need a blue post explanation.

Its working perfectly fine, you don’t notice it at the beginning because the decay is halved and the decay is unnoticeable at the beginning. You will notice it later. Please try to read upon subjects you spout your opinion on before spouting such opinion. I think they teach this in school, no?

Its about how much they reduced the decay. People thinking they be rank 8 just made assumptions.

If everything is the same as it was that’s concerning. It would be nice to know what’s going on.

Especially if the decay is still 20%.

Educate yourself, there are no assumptions here. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/pvp-decay-clarification/1128538

Your opinion that decay is halved is not mathematically equivalent to what they have explicitly outlined. It’s just guess work on your part.

wait, are you telling me they made the decay even worse than before?

I’m telling you what they outlined in their post is equivalent to what I just linked you. At this stage it’s unclear whether they since decided to not implement it in that fashion or they made a mistake.

if they made decay 40% then im gonna quit i only played because i thought PvP would be fun to gear with

It amounts to the same system we had prior but everything is accelerated. It is possible that somewhere between the time of their blue post and now they’ve decided against that change but they’ve not made an announcement regarding it. The trick with just altering decay is

  1. you need to rescript the current code, not the end of the world.

  2. even br9/10 will be getting r14 likely before aq40.

Just some clarity on their part would be nice.

yea so what, let ppl have fun. if they 2x the contribution points but also 2x the decay, then it will be the same system wont even be accelerated. It will be literally hte same.

Nah you will get r14 in 6 weeks etc. it is still twice as fast.

thats only if you don’t make 40% decay, or make it 10% decay and no contribution points 2x.

If you 2x cont and make it 40% it will still take 3 months

Oh that’s a non-br1 view but you get the message

EU had their second reset. Decay was not halved. It was exactly as expected under the old system.

They halved decay or else it doesn’t work out right mathmatically.

For double decay you need double RP.

So you are wrong.

yea because if you make the rp gain 2x, but also make the decay 2x harder… it equals out to how it is in the normal system… basic math and logic lmao

Here’s your recursive expression for ranking points

2* contribution points + 0.6*ranking point total

That takes half the time of the old system to hit the milestones.

I don’t think you get math at all.

You will only start noticing the difference once you reach higher rank .
