Announcing: Card Hunter PvP Spring Season

Past shouldn't affect season's results, I agree.

 

I said the same thing to flax. My win rate is at 67% at the moment but it could have been higher if I didn't play a firestorm build for alot of games which made me lose alot of win rate. For me there is no problem cause i'm not playing for the ranking that the win rate is needed but I think that alot of people are harmed by this.

 

Do you really think a lot of people are harmed by it?
First of all, the top 20 weekly winners are selected by wins, not by points, so no one's getting kicked off the ranking by their win rate—their position is only being modified by their win rate after they've already made the chart. On the Week 1 chart, there are about three people whose rank would be 1 higher if I weren't counting win rate, and none of them are (or would be) at the top of the chart. I find it very odd that I devise a way to give bonuses to people just for playing the game they already like, and suddenly folks are being "harmed" because I chose to reward something that de facto barely affects ranking. >_>

The idea was "win a lot while maintaining as strong a win rate as possible." That's how I presented it initially and that's how I did the last two sets of rankings and it's not going to change this season. As already shown with bluebluegreen, you can top the chart with a 50% win rate. The fact is a lot of people with ridiculous win rates aren't going to make this chart because they don't play enough for their win rates to stabilize closer to 50%.

Also, the past necessarily affects the season's results. There are people with -700 standing; obviously that built up over more than just the last week, but they're as disqualified from the rankings as someone with -2 standing. Also, people with a high rating begin in an advantaged position for the rating chart, right? The past affects the current season in a lot of ways, down to "if you've played more, you have the items to do better in the season."

 

If it barely affect the ranking why is it there? It just make people feel they are in disadvantage. Anyway the season started this way, it have to continue this way. Just saying so it can be changed in the future if you and other poeple agree that it should be changed.

About high rating affecting the season, I already said that I think that BlueManchu should do a monthly ladder or something like that (and still have the normal rating ladder), that reset every month but I think that they don't have time for it at the moment.

 

They should make rating drop after player hasn't played for 30 days.
Drop some amount every week until it's below 1500. That would reduce average rating of players so it's not that easy to do but for sure sth can be figured out.

 

You should update the main post with each week's official standings so we don't have to hunt through the forums to find t.

 

Sure, rating decay has been suggested. Remember that the point of this, though, is to run something that doesn't require work from them.

Yep, was planning on doing that with the next update. In the meantime you can find everything at http://sorcererers.dotq.org/season.php

 

Week 2 stats!

I'll have more to say in my next blog post on the main site, keep your eyes peeled



Congrats to everyone who ranked this week!

Update: I've added all weekly stats to the first post in this thread. Don't forget you can also track standings here.

 

Please update the 1st post with (TOP 20?) leaders and their average scores too

 

A question:how are the wins counted? yesterday i had 97 wins and i won few games and didnt got a win increase. same vs cardohtron..he doesnt count?

 

Maybe the data was gathered yesterday before your wins?

 

I checked in the leaderboard thingy, after a couple of wins my win number didnt increase. and i checked now was 97, and now 99, i guess it ahd some kinda of time lapse, dunno. but still think yesterday didnt got some wins counted because i wanted end the day with 100 and after a couple of wins it stayed the same..but maybe im just mistaken

 

The in-game leaderboard might not update immediately after your match. It should show your latest wins after a short while, though. Next time, check the "Mine" screen from the "Results" screen to see if your latest win can be seen there.

 

I think that what happened was that you won games at the same time that the games you did 7 days ago disapeared from the leaderboard, so itys a stayed the same or similar.

 

Tuknir, did you wait long enough in the Leaderboard screen after you opened it? Maybe the wins would have been shown if you had waited longer. At least the Results screen takes a long time to update after opening it. Also, if you have opened it previously during your current playing session, it displays the old information while the new data is being loaded. This has confused me many times when the new data has not shown up for a long time. It took 6 seconds to update for me just now and sometimes it's even slower.

 

I guess it was a time of being slower, if i recall right i did 3 games and won all 3 and didnt count then at the time, maybe it counted then later, not sure now..guess its just a problem of faulty memorya nd a slow updating system

 

It's a rolling total, I believe. So 'weekly' is always one week from whenever you look at it.

Example:
I'm at 100 wins and win 5 in one hour, I would think I'm at 105 wins.
However, if 169 hours before that, I won 6 games that no longer count towards my weekly total, I'd only be at 99 wins.


Also, for the most wins leaders, are the points being cumulatively added for a season total? Just wondering.

 

I'll do that today.

@tuknir - I think other people have answered your question but let me know if you need any other help.

Yes, points are being cumulatively added for a season total.

 

Yes, thanks guys

Im just aiming to be at least in the top 10 to be able to get a slime figurine, but till july 1 will be hard, alot of wins to get

 

Sorry for the delay. Updated OP with current season rankings, based on the first two weeks. It's kind of barebones ATM; I'm going to be changing how I'm storing and using my data this week.
