MP: won/lost info

Post by rends »

Would it be possible to add the won or lost info next to the finished MP matches?

Would be easier than replay the last round of each mission to get the info.

Btw: how often will the ranking list updated here at the website ? Playing the game since a week but couldn't find myself on the ranking list.

Thanks for asking this question since I was thinking the same thing.
If you look at the BA Rankings: http://www.slitherine.com/ladder/bbc_ba ... mes_Played
It's unclear:
- How often these rankings are updated?
- What is the criteria for being ranked?

I'm also having a tough time understanding how people are ranked,..is it by winning percentage,..number of games won,..there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason?
Here are the top-10 (out of the 100 listed:

Rank Login Battles Games Played Wins
1 taktloss1984 95087 27589 23390
2 khill9702 10085 6365 155
3 Merr 7518 4672 494
4 pipfromslitherine 2654 4057 152
5 john1320 8725 4002 106
6 papajack 7999 3024 1737
7 Kaiman 4717 2927 91
8 schenker 1852 2394 69
9 Icemanqt8 3212 2136 17
10 Treetom 2929 1922 44

Take a look at #8,...why does is player's Battles, less that his Games Played?
It also appears that these players are not ranked by winning percentage?? Then how are they ranked?

I want to say that I think this is awesome to see that players are ranked,...I just don't understand how they are ranked.

It would also be REALLY cool if players could also be ranked by scenario!!!!
I think this would open the door to see who really good at a particular scenario,..and then try to beat that player in that scenario.

I also never understood these number how can somebody have played 95.000 battles?, or just 10.000?
If you spend, say 20 minutes in a scenario, 10.000 battles is 200.000 minutes = 3.333 hours, playing 10 hours a day you need 333 consecutive days to reach 10.000. and near nine years to get 95.000 !!!! your mouse, and your fingers will collapse before :).
BA is a great game but I can't believe someone playing during 9 years 10 hours a day.

Also I've seen that some players have a greeter value in games win than in games played.

for exemple:

cablekinguk 258 42 122
Battle 258
Games 42
Win 122

The website stats are not fully featured really. They do not include MP games, and are really just there for player interest. We want to massively improve the tools (e.g. for finding yourself) as well as add real MP rankings for those players who wanted to opt in to them. There are just not enough hours in the day for all the cool things we want to do! We need about 20 server engineers just for the ideas we come up with each time we have a meeting.... ;)

Cheers

Pip

We appreciate very much your efforts to improve BA, but, I think, we must push you to ask for more. :D
