Ah, yes, I see your point. I didn't think about that. I didn't have any games before, but my opponents might have, which means their rating could be different, and that affects my rating as well. It all makes sense.

Implemented banner caching. I won't disable it again. How to install? Go to your profile http://heroes3stat.appspot.com/rating/overall/ihromant, scroll to the very bottom, and you'll find the URL there. Paste it into the `img` tag in your signature. The banners will (at least, they should) update every 20 hours. Thanks to Gunar for making everything work perfectly after I explained it to him. Gunar isn't a dumb SMOrc.

Why are there fewer games in your rating than on the forum?

Why are there fewer games listed in your rating compared to the forum?

Before the automated report input system, the rating was maintained in an Excel spreadsheet (or something similar), where the number of games and the rating were calculated. Both Nitro and the built-in rating system take older games into account; I don't have that data yet. If done correctly, it would involve calculating a file, then iterating through profiles, counting the history of name changes, and using that to create a base rating to start from, rather than 1500 (and also taking into account the number of games).
Honestly, I'm not in the mood to do that right now. I'd rather create statistics on castles and templates. Even if the "daddies" who registered before 2014 get offended.

Although, wait, you have 215, and I have 232 on the forum. That's interesting. I'll check it out now.

What if we reset the ranking one more time? :smile51:

What if the rating is reset again? :smile51:

Why? If you want to see the current skill level, look at the current season; it reflects it well.

P.S. I fixed the display issue for the games in your list. You can now put the banner with the creature in your signature.

1700 rating, and the banner features the Hydra of Chaos. You're doing pretty well. What didn't you like about the Nitro display?

Check the previous page; they were discussing it there. It seems like it will change again.

1700 rating, and in the banner there's a Chaos Hydra. You play well.
What didn't you like about Nitro's display?

We were asked to add more creatures and distribute them evenly. As a first implementation, I distributed the creatures evenly based on their position in the ranking table (so you should have either a Crystal or a Rust Monster).

If you help with /post/1128481/, I would be very grateful.

Great news. The banners have been regenerated, but the link is still the same.

If anyone played this morning and the report was confirmed, can you confirm that the banner has updated?
If everything is as it should be, then we can consider that the banners are now working properly.

Okay, so we have a hero - Russell made a nice table with rating intervals and values. (you can see it here https://cloud.mail.ru/public/27VZ/iFmVjqfXZ)
Now the images correspond to the rating, and those who boast too much will no longer have Hydras and Chaos Dragons in their signatures. We need to change the signature one last time (I promise) so that everything is displayed correctly and regular updates occur.
Just copy and paste what you have in your profile into your signature (Control Panel -> Edit Signature), and voila, you'll have a banner in your signature.

Done, now you have a banner, and it will update every 20 hours.
I'll update the first post right now and add instructions there as well.

I created a graph showing monthly activity on the home page.
Looks like I should go to sleep.

I don't have an eye for beauty and I can't design. Until today, I copied everything from Nitro's website design. Now I have no idea what to do next. If someone knows HTML/CSS, it would be great if they could help create a beautiful design closer to the Heroes style. If anyone wants to join the design team, welcome

Why was the monster list reduced?
What is the point of a rating below 1100? In the seasonal ranking, there are only three players below 1300.
And 2400 is an unrealistic rating!
Also, note that the density of ratings is geometric (each subsequent hundred is approximately twice as small),
so I suggest a slightly more complex progression: columns G, H
- the complete list of monsters is used
- Peasant up to 1200
- 7th-level monsters from 1900
- Dragon from 2100
- Azure Dragon from 2200.

The fact that there are no such ratings at the moment does not mean that they will not appear in a year or two. No one has canceled rating inflation. In addition, the maximum rating should be difficult to achieve, as 2100 has been recently, or as 2000 was a few years ago. It's not good that about 10 people are running around with Azure Dragons. I would suggest a rating of less than 1000 for Peasants. Azure Dragon 2300+, Crystal Dragon 2250, Rusty Dragon 2200, Magic Dragon 2150, Archangel 2100. And spread the rest across the lower ratings.

I would also like to note that the density of ratings is geometric (each subsequent hundred is approximately 2 times less)

There is another side to the issue. In the range of 1400-1700, there are very large and frequent jumps in the rating in different directions. Therefore, it is not a fact that it makes sense to somehow condense the range of monsters.

I would suggest a price of less than 1000 for the Peasant.

Fixed, a compromise option - Peasant with 1100. Azure with 2300, in my opinion, is still too strong, because the skill level of average players is steadily increasing, and it will become increasingly difficult for the top players to climb the ranks.
I left a small geometric progression (the increment is indicated in column I).

I don't know, but I think 2400 Azure points is a reasonable goal, and it will be achievable in a couple of years, in my opinion.

If super-players appear in the future, or if the point system changes, then reaching 2300-2400 will be achievable. In reality, it would be great if at least one person could reach 2200 and maintain that level for some time. In my opinion, I would give a blue badge to anyone who reaches 2200 at most.

The introduction of 2400 speeds up/facilitates the increase in the number of new 1500 users. And what's wrong with being an Arcomage, a Fabled, a Rusty one, and striving to become a Azure one?
