Posts from Questions, answers, and resolution of disputes regarding the online rating in HoMM5.

Thank you to everyone who left comments and contributed to the discussion about tracking the rating. I understand that opinions are divided, which means that nothing will likely change, at least for now. I didn't bring up this topic by chance; I think it's no secret to many that I play online on Ubisoft very actively, and if I start reporting all my games, it could be 15 or more games a week with a 70-80% win rate, not counting tournament games. Also, some, not bad players, mainly play only tournament games. The question is: will such a rating reflect the real state of affairs? That's all for now, with respect, Leolopus. P.S. And here's some more information to consider: any mediocre player, and even a beginner, who actively plays on Ubisoft with players of similar skill level, can ultimately achieve a much higher rating than a more serious player who prefers to play only in tournaments.

Dear Starhan, the player rating hasn't been updated for three months. Many people are unhappy with this. I am often asked about what is happening. I have to make excuses and come up with various explanations. To be honest, this is very stressful and annoying for me. How long will this continue? Either you update the rating soon, or pass the responsibilities on to someone else. I hope you understand!

Primus. The problem is that there's no one to delegate the responsibilities to. And Starhan is simply very busy. I think he'll try to figure it out in the near future. I spoke with him.

"I'll try" – that's what I've been hearing for the past two months. IMO, this turn of events is completely unacceptable. The situation needs to be rectified urgently. I hope that I will finally be heard!!!

Hello everyone!

Regarding the rating calculation, I suggest:
- no privileges when calculating the rating (it doesn't matter who is higher or lower...)
- regarding the different number of points for a regular game and a tournament game - maintain 2 ratings (tournament and regular)...
- play or don't play - the more you play, the more chances you have to increase or decrease your rating - everything is in the player's hands
- to increase interest in tournaments, introduce, for example, a table of ranks, honorary titles, prizes, etc.

P.S. The rating should be updated...

Dear residents of HeroesWorld, unfortunately, the rating calculation has long been at a standstill, and I think this situation does not suit many people. This has become noticeable in the many times reduced number of reports in the corresponding topic, although I know for sure that many continue to play actively. In this regard, I propose to discuss the issue of reviving the rating and discuss what form YOU would like it to take.
Kila has already made several interesting suggestions, and I would like to hear the opinions of the rest. Personally, I am inclined towards a system of ranks and titles for won games, but this is in general terms. In general, I am waiting for feedback. With respect, Leolopus.
P.S. As an example, I can suggest a version partly borrowed from Ubisoft, but with a simplified calculation system. For a certain number of victories, the player will be assigned a title identical to the name of a creature, for example, from the Order faction, and so on...

Rank system? I don't think there's anything interesting about it. How would I like to see the rating? Just as a regular table, like it is now. Maybe you could also add the arena numbers. But the table already has all the information that any player would be interested in. And if the table was updated once a week, that would be great.

Thank you for your opinion. I'll say right away that for now, I've only touched on the topic of ranking in online games on maps, which I plan to manage myself in the future. The ranking system is designed to give the bare numbers a more tangible and spectacular character, while the numbers that are called the rating will still remain, with the exception of simplifying its calculation: "win - 1 point," "lose - 0 points." I agree that with this scheme, several players may have the same rank or title at once, because to reach the next level, you will need to win, say, 5-10-15 games, but the one with the most wins will be listed first in the ranking table. All this scheme will be implemented in a table, where the first column will indicate the avatar of the corresponding rank, the second column will be the participant's nickname, and the third column will be the number of games won. A separate footnote may present the gradation: every beginner has the rank of "peasant," upon reaching 3 wins, the rank of "militiaman" is awarded, 7 - "landsknecht," 10 - "archer," 13 - "imperial archer," 15 - "sniper," and so on. The number of wins between transitions to the next rank is being discussed. In general, I have now outlined my idea in more detail, albeit in general terms.
P.S. In principle, if this kind of tracking system is acceptable to most people, I can organize tracking for online duels in the same way. I'm sure it's better than the "NOTHING" we have today.

How does one get into this player rating table?

Play a game with someone and write a report. And wait for the leaderboard to update. By the way, the rating formulas also need to be refined.

How long do we have to wait for the rating to be updated? Starhan, either calculate it urgently or delegate the responsibility to someone else. This is not the first time I've heard you say, "I'll calculate it this week, and everything will be fine." IMHO, but this is a blatant fact, and I consider it an act of arrogance on your part. I'm sorry, but I have no more words. I'm just tired of living with empty promises; I want to see action from you. I hope you'll hear me and quickly rectify the situation.

Ah, I've heard rumors that some people have stopped submitting reports on their victories, thinking that the ranking no longer matters. This is a mistake. I understand that I calculate the rankings with significant delays and very rarely (I won't make excuses, I'm not always ready to spend my free time calculating the ranking), but I will complete the ranking by the end of the year. I am already recalculating it, and the table will be updated soon. (:D Just don't take it as a promise that I'll keep feeding you with empty promises ;) ) At the same time, decide who will be the next to calculate the rankings and look for new formulas if these ones don't suit you. Because if you start discussing it, the discussion might drag on, and you need to be ready for the new year.

Well, I finally heard rumors that some people have stopped submitting victory reports, thinking that the rating no longer matters. That's a mistake.
Also, decide who will be the next one to calculate the rating and look for new formulas if these ones don't suit you.

Thank goodness the rumors finally reached you... We've almost decided who will calculate the rating and how. Just don't delay with the calculations, and try to dedicate time once a week to updating the rating after you've finished, so that it doesn't fall behind again.

I'm already recalculating it, and the table will be updated soon. (:D But don't take it as a promise, so you won't say later that I'm just giving empty promises ;)

Looks like things are not going well... :smile33:

... they've almost decided who will handle the rating and how.

... so maybe we should pass on the responsibilities? ... because in a week or two, it will be half a year since we last updated it, and we're just giving empty promises...
Some people have stopped playing, some have started and are actively playing, and some have started and ended their careers without ever seeing themselves in the ranking... :D

I talk to Starkhan almost every day and ask about the ranking. Things are moving forward. Believe me. He just doesn't have much time. But I think he'll be able to calculate it this year.
