Make ranked more appealing!

(Phukka) #1

Dirty Bomb truly is dreadful due to the considerable amount of the player being some-what or totally handicapped. That would be fine if there was a ranking/skill system behind the team balancing in all matchmaking, but there’s not.

Of course ranked mode should solve this, but there is the problem, no one plays it!

Have a week, 2 weeks of double credit bonus, 25% case drop bonus, or whatever, so that people finally play against equally skilled players. This stops the handicapped complaining of cheater or leaving, and also stops decent players having to play blind-folder, hands behind their backs playing with their elbows just for a challenge.

Once everyone realises being ranked is the best way to go, it’ll continue to pick up!

doesnt ranked already give extra gold ?
and for my opinion ranked still have some problems

  • i guess they shouldnt have released ranked mode until the release of CMM so people could know how its like to be on a fixed 5v5 rather then in a 8vs8 that people are free to drop out from it any time
  • the min lvl in ranked : they really should increase it maybe 20-15 so i guess till that lvl people would certenly have played in all the maps and know how the team works and certenly got some main mercs and some loadouts in each merc

The double credits from ranked are really nice. I think if they incorporate the occasional arsenal crate drop in to ranked (as is hinted at in the tooltip for arsenal crates when you get one) then the ranked ‘rewards’ would be plenty sufficient.

I would be a little more…what’s the word…cynical…no uhhg I can’t think of it …Strict maybe and make it to where you can only do your mission on ranked… or maybe have missions for casual matches then missions that can only be done on ranked that give those sweet sweet! creds.

but yeah the incentives to do ranked are not there.

Even a little frame for your name to show what rank you currently are when you’re playing normal matches or something to make people question “HOW DO I GET SHINY THING??”.

For me, I want to play ranked matches, but I’m not willing to sit there for half an hour to find a match. I’d rather forgo that and just play instantly in quick join. I’m assuming that is where people are at. No one wants to wait 30 minutes for 1 match.

Yeah, it’s a massive turn-off when you see the expected time to find a match is more than 30 minutes. 30 minutes wait for one match, repeated after every match. It’s no surprise people are avoiding it.

I agree with @slicK.JTheJackal. Just a small thing as a noticeable reward can maybe spark some interest in the competitive mode, but I might just be very hopeful.

The last time I tried to queue for ranked the search timed out… I have a screenshot somewhere, I’ll see if I can find it

You’ll never find a game in Aus/Asia. Since ranked came back up no one at all is playing. Even during EU and US peak times I can’t find a game, says 30+ minutes. I don’t even think half the people know it’s back.

I’ve only played like 15 ranked games ever, and all 15 were on USA servers.

Never offer Missions on ranked. It would make people play to complete them, rather than play objectives & be more… Competitive. - Imagine, get X & Y with Phantom. Awesome, now you’ve a team with Phantoms.

Offer triple XP & Credits at peak times if you play Ranked, As well as a 25% increase in drops, including a percent chance of unlocking a Cobalt card of your choice.

Yes it’s over the top, but DB needs ranks to progress.

I think one of the ways we could make ranked more appealing is by making a 5vs5 mode in casual matchmaking so that the transition in to ranked for new players would be smoother.
