rank

[Dy290769]

why does my ranking does'nt move anymore.Winning or losing does'nt change anything. Thank in advance. I love the game.

[CrimDeLa]

Search the forum. There was a thread about this-it basically says that there is a bug in the ranking and if you want a to be ranked you have to make a new profile.

[CrimDeLa]

But I do have a question. I forgot my password so I had to make a new profile. My first 2 games my opponents quit before I could win. Then I got 2 straight wins off people(one was 1 on1 the other 3 people free for all), all higher ranks then me because my first people quit. And I am still in the same spot. I know the 10 percent thing but if they are higher ranks I should go up at least a few spots. Can someone explain to me the ranking system to me in depth so I can understand how you go up a point 10 to 11 and so on. I was a 11 in my previous account but don't know how.

[parsley]

The bug was fixed.

You switch between points and rank as if they're the same thing. Points are absolute. Rank is relative. If you fight someone of lower or higher rank and win your points will go up. Whether your rank goes up depends on how many points the other entries in the leaderboard have.

Your rank can go down even if you win: someone else has achieved more points than you.

[CrimDeLa]

Then how come I still only have 10 points when I just went 3-0 against 2 higher opponents and one lower. It just seems like I'm not leveling up And I don't think the people around my rank are doing as good as I am. I have created a new profile but still the first rank I get is the one I stay at, even though I win. Or thats is the way it seems like because I haven't moved up one rank or gotten any points. Can someone please tell me whats is going on? Maybe I'm wrong and that it takes you a lot of wins to move up one rank or get a point. But it seems to me that 2 wins against two higher opponents (one under 500) and one just below me should make me rank up. I have more wins but I don't remember them. I know I have more wins then loses/disconnects. I only remember losing one game.

[franpa]

did you win ALL rounds in the game? did you play ranked games?

[CrimDeLa]

ranked, one round games

[franpa]

i thought ranked games where best out of 3, unless that limitation only applied to either the DS or PSP and not both.

[CrimDeLa]

No, in the psp version you can set the number of rounds in the weapon scheme. I don't know about the DS though. One other thing I noticed is that the Daily awards are always the same people (in the same spot). Is anyone else having trouble ranking up.

[Casino D]

Yeah i have the same problem as Dy, for about 3 months i was stuck at rank 65, then 2 weeks ago i moved up to 73 for no reason then up to 78 for no reason. I beat TurboT who had about 4,000 points when i had 205 and i didn't move. Can anyone fix this?

[Dy290769]

They'll try to solve the bug, i asked to Parsley of team17 to look at the bug and they have not find the trouble yet. We keep in touch and hope he'll give news soon.

[DopeBoss]

any news about that?

[Dy290769]

not yet sorry.

[parsley]

The rankings should be working now. NOTE: it takes up to 5 minutes for the change in points to change the rank so there's no point playing a game and diving into the leaderboards to check your rank.

[DopeBoss]

if you disconnect from wormnet within this "5 minutes" are the points lost?

edit:
so for me, it still doens't work
am i doing sth. wrong? or shall i make a new account (what i won't do ^^)

[Dy290769]

Happy to see that i'm not the only one. I was about to ask the question." May be i do something wrong. " That's the question. could it be.

[DopeBoss]

funny thing is:
if i win for example 3k points, next game i bet 300 (which normally be correct) but after a time i still have the points i had before (which atm are 13 ^^)
this occurs not only since yesterday

edit:
it works!!! i have points ^^ not much, but if i beat turbo the next time i'll have more ^^

[parsley]

No.

Points are posted to the server at the end of the game. The ranks are calculated every 5 minutes.

[Dy290769]

No.

Yes, there was an update since yesterday or since last week but if i win a game even if i wait 15 minutes, log out, log in, my points or ranks doesn't change. I'm not complaining, i know you and your team are working on it. Just wrote this to help you understand how it goes for me.

At least, i have an upate every day what i didn't had before.

No update since 2 days.

May 4th, there is an update but even if i win the points or ranks don't move.

[Turbo-T]

if i beat turbo the next time i'll have more ^^

LOL!!!

If you win, if ;)
You shure won´t win :D

Nice to see that the points are now working, but now I will loose all points in a short time, because of that damned Quitters :(

[DopeBoss]

then give em to me before those come ^^

[DopeBoss]

hey people, is the ranking still working? my rank hasnt moved since 2 days (of course i played and won a lot points ^^)

edit:
work in progress ^^ me and parsley try to solve this problem because sth strange happend, we tell you if our "research" has finished

[parsley]

In a PM conversation with DopeBoss, it looks like things are okay.

Obviously, if things change, post here or PM me and I'll look into it.

[DopeBoss]

so for me and turbo, it again doesnt work
i observed it some days and saw, that i only loose points and not win

edit:
thats strange: out of nowhere i got 2k points (if they where won it must be 5k points)

HEY GUYS WHAT ABOUT YOU SO MANY PEOPLE READ THIS THREAD WITHOUT RESPONDING IF IT WORKS OR NOT!!!#

edit: maybe it's the cheaters that it doesn't work ...
plz look here: http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36222

[DopeBoss]

excuse me why i dont edit my last reply but make a new one, i think that this way more people see this

what i have seen is that the ranking works but it takes days that the ranking is updated
also sometimes some points dont get updated (dont know why)

please, if you got other experiences share them with us so we can discuss if and how it works

[Turbo-T]

In my cae, the points do not change.
If I loose, I loose the points immediatly, If I win I get the points, but after PSP Reset all is gone and I have my old points (12k) back.

Time to reset all points!
The other point, which wheits more is, that wormsnet is very instabile.
Every second game: "Waiting for other players" till disconnect.

If there will be a Worms 3 on PSP, I only buy it, if the Online gaming is much better (I only play online)!

[GrapeFruit]

so how long does it take for your points to be updatad ?

[DopeBoss]

people, please first read (and search) befor asking questions that have been answered a thousand times...

it takes some days, that you can see your points updated

[Matrona2]

for me it only took 1 night to update. Have any of you guys been on 1 day after you got points?

Please check your network.

Are the correct ports being forwarded?

What other devices are sharing the access point with your PSP? Are any of them conflicting with it?

What's the PSPs signal strength and quality like? Could this be causing problems?

How many other WiFi devices are active?

Have you tried turning off UPnP?

[Turbo-T]

Hi parsley,

thanks for your hints, but I don´t have problems with my connection.
I thought it was the problem with my notebook, psp and notebook at the same time at the same wlan router, maybe bad.

In the last weeks the games was very good without many "disconnection".
Maybe because I blocked almost all quitters :D

To make me and the other players happy, please reset the complete ranking system!
Can you, parsley, do this, or could you ask some other Team 17 member?

Do you and other Team 17 members play Worms on PSP online?
What are your names? :D

Although i am high in the ranks now, (31) i could get to number 1 if the ranks are reseted!

LOL!
If the ranks being reseted your points will be lost too.
Check the weekly points, that are the true ranks ;)

Your don´t have to be proud of your rank (31), because its not the real rank.
In the permanent rank only the lucky players who win against big Pointers gets high, not the good players.

[Matrona2]

on the Quitters thread by D3MON666, unbeatable said he played the rank 11!!! He was just about to win then the rank 11 Quitted. unbeatable told me how angry he was. (very :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad)
