Chapter 438: Ranking Mechanism
Ignore those players who play illegally, so what kind of change in playstyle does the rank bring to normal players?
Since the in-game rank system is currently based on the total in-game rating. Then, if you want to improve to a higher rank, then you naturally need to increase your overall game rating.
The formula for calculating the game's total rating has been adjusted several times, but what is certain is that regardless of the current formula for calculating the total rating, the victory score, i.e., the previous survival score, is weighted much higher than the elimination score.
And now this judging mechanism, the weighting coefficient of victory score and elimination score is more than 5:1, although this is only a set of data, but from other data can also be seen the importance of victory score, which also reflects the Jedi "survival".
And since the victory score is so important, it naturally gives birth to more Gou Wang.
It also means that even if you only have a KD of 1.0, you can still stand high scores.
Therefore, the existence of the rank system will naturally allow more people to increase their survival time in order to ensure their rank.
To put it simply, the existence of a rank may make the game environment more ...... Dangerous?
Since the current rank system only ranks based on ratings, even ordinary players can slowly accumulate a total rating and obtain a higher rank by accumulating a long game time and steadily entering the top rankings.
This will make the player's game time more, and also increase the popularity of the game and the number of people online.
It's just that some players like the rank, and some players don't like it, and the utilitarian is too heavy to play the game, and sometimes the game has become tasteless.
Some people say that they can accept this rank system, but there are also veteran esports players who say that the rank system works well in League of Legends, but it is not suitable for this type of shooter.
For example, the smash hit "Overwatch" gradually went downhill after the rank system was introduced, everyone wanted to play their favorite heroes, no one filled the position, and the team without tanks and nurses was very easy to lose.
Then there will be a situation where the person who wants to win is matched with a teammate and then takes the initiative to fill in the position with kind words in order to score points. People who don't want to win don't communicate and lose the game.
When the game has a rank, there will be a lot of players repeating some gameplay without game experience for the rank, in LOL or O, it is to play a hero until it vomits, just to move up. In "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", there will be many players jumping into the sea and water, struggling to score.
Moreover, judging from the rampant situation of the current PUBG plug-ins, when "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" sets up the rank, it will also derive a lot of script boosting, without crossfire with anyone, transfer and wait in the safest position, and finally achieve fully automatic scoring. This is devastating for the gaming experience of a normal player.
Of course, the rank system also has a slight advantage, based on the large enough base of PUBG players to match players with similar game behaviors.
It is calculated comprehensively based on KDA, game duration, travel distance, etc., and then allows more players of similar levels to play together.
Instead of the steel gun just to 2000 match to 2000. And in the case of a low online rate, the stimulation of the rank can also make more players cherish every game and complete the game as best as possible.
The rank system of the PUBG mobile game is also to promote activity, because the game itself is not particularly serious, so the matching mechanism of the rank is vague, and it may be that the higher the rank, the fewer robots.
According to Blue Hole, they made this rank system that allows players to judge and show off their strength in the game, mainly to make players more aware of their strength status.
There have been many players who have suggested adding a rank system to the game, so now there is such a rank system directly.
Allows players to measure their level of play and be able to determine where they fit in with the crowd.
In order for players to be able to confirm their strength, players are required to play 10 games in each new season to determine the initial rank of that season. Depending on the outcome of the game that follows, the player's rank will be changed. The test season is scheduled to run for two months, and at the end of the test season, the operation of the entire season will be evaluated.
Players will earn rank points by playing the game. The rank score depends on the number of eliminations and rankings a player obtains in the game, and the higher the number of eliminations and rankings, the higher the rank score will be. The player's rank and the number of people who participate in the game are also factors that affect the rank score. In order to advance to the next rank, players need to get consistent results in the game.
Depending on various factors, there is no way for a player to have a certain difference in the number of rank points they earn.
Unlike LOL's promotion system, in order to enter the next rank, players do not need to play another promotion match, but only need to reach the required rank score for each rank to enter the corresponding rank. Conversely, when a player falls below the specified rank due to the loss of Rank Points, they will be demoted to the next Rank.
Bands will be classified into single-row, double-row, quad-row, and FPP and TPP modes according to different modes.
Blue Hole's statement is that the reason for this arrangement is to allow players to experience different ranks in different modes, and it is the player's choice whether to concentrate in one mode or challenge the ranks in multiple modes.
There is also a space where players can show off their strength even more, that is, the leaderboard.
After this update, the leaderboard players will be able to identify the top 100 players in each mode, and the leaderboard will no longer be divided into different regions, but will reflect the ranking of players from all over the world. Challenge to become one of the PUBG Global 100.
In this regard, Sun Yaosheng thinks it is still good, although for most players the ranking is something out of reach, but for Sun Yaosheng, he now also has a goal to score.
There is still a difference between the global top 100 and the Asia-Pacific top 100, and the difference is still very large.
The current PUBG rank system is subdivided into eight ranks. They are: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Elite, Master, Grandmaster.
The higher the rank, the more luxurious the rank card symbolizing glory becomes, especially the most powerful grandmaster rank looks like it is shining, Sun Yaosheng estimates that there will be a wave of grandmaster craze in the near future.
In fact, it is not difficult to reach the Grandmaster, judging from the ranking points required for each rank updated by the Blue Hole, 2000 points can reach the Grandmaster.
However, the official said that the top 100 grandmasters will be displayed in the in-game leaderboard, so it is not difficult to get to the grandmaster, but it is still difficult to get on the leaderboard.
