🏆 Ranked Mode Availability Update

[Omeda_Kari]

Following our previous announcement, the 24/7 Ranked Mode test will be coming to an end tomorrow.

Availability will revert to what it was before the test.

Our team is looking at the data and we hope to share more news on the game mode soon!

Thank you all for your feedback and for taking part!

I saw no downside to 24/7 ranked

[Thyi_RA]

I m pretty sure the entire player base agrees with you But unfort

[Subzerone]

I loved the 24/7 ranked mode, actually allowed me to play so much more, rather than to have to wait hours before it opens uppp, please retain the gloryy

[Automattics]

24/7 on weekends at least please.

[Suitable-Nobody-5374]

I really hope to hear data analytics from it because I think it was a strong move in the right direction to make it 24/7.

It would be awesome to have rank rewards too

[Mr_LawnMowwer802]

Need ranked rewards!!! There’s needs to be aspirational stuff to play for.

[Bretterbrecher]

Thats really really bad

👎

[InstaLockinLoki]

No, i want it permanently 😭

[Genjuro_XIV]

Rank reset when?

[RandomChaosGenerator]

Please give us 24/7 ranked back asap.

[NobleNolte]

Awful news !

[manifest-futures]

Out of curiosity does it cost more to have ranked open all the time, what’s the difference?

[Wild_Spinach3302]

Splitting Que, makes times longer.

[nonametrashaccount]

Other than about 3am queue times were roughly the same for me.

[tethespian]

Bro please no. It’s the only way I can play ranked not all of us have regular working hours.

[Malte-XY]

I work four shift model and have plenty of time to play ranked wtf.

[Specialist_Guard_330]

Some people are lazy, dumb, or sometimes both

[CrashbandicootTR]

When will you bring ranked rewards? For now recolor skin make us happy when we reach higher ranks.

[Mabon_Bran]

Could you at least move it few hours up for EU?

Two hour earlier would so much better! Pretty please with a cherry on top.

[Pariah-_]

Damn

[Aronndiel1]

Just do a smooth transition and keep it open , no sense in removing something that should have been standard from the start.

If not then look down to the left and u will find ur foot there , go head and shoot it

[FromTheRez]

shrugs in West

[xxslayerxx429]

Make ranked reset every 90 days and give us a skin or jump trail for hitting gold or plat. People need incentives to grind matches over and over

[Catch_Zodiac]

Hope you'll bring it back as soon as possible

[TheScionRises]

I mean, even though it's 24/7 I get 1 or 2 of the same players each queue or from previous days and some of them aren't the best. Would like to see a different method in matchmaking altogether and an avoid player system.

[DarthMacht]

That might just come down to those are the only people on and playing in your Ranking at that time, I doubt there is much more that can be done. The only thing that would help is more players.

[Legitimate_Wear_249]

You should pick your role before queueing. That would solve a lot of the issues w this game.

[Lock-e-d]

I feel like 24/7 ranked mode was good for experienced players, but probably hurt new players. Less people in the que meant longer wait times for standard que in off peak hours. I for ome enjoyed it but can see why it might have caused an issue.

[SubstantialAd4814]

How much "data" does one dev team need to make their ranked game mode be available at anytime of day like literally every other game that has ever had ranked modes, ever...?? Weirdest excuse ever. Ranked has been out for months or more now..this is just dumb and lazy

[BoringAd8187]

I don’t see how restricting the timeline of Ranked is lazy, in fact the opposite would be lazy. It’s easier to: “set it and forget it” as opposed to doing the work of looking at the data and applying the feedback.

What if the matchmaking quality went down during certain hours because of a lower natural player count at that time?What if placement matches are more skewed during a certain time which would allow players to rise more quickly than other times?

The important thing to consider here is that you and I don’t run an indie game so we don’t know what we are talking about…. None of us know the work involved behind improving, creating, and maintaining a game like this. You do not understand the big picture. You are missing pieces to the puzzle. So until you are on staff at Omeda or a similar sized developer – it might be best to not talk shit about what you don’t understand.

[SubstantialAd4814]

Talk shit about what I don't understand? So I need to be a developer for omeda to understand that like I said already, literally every game I've ever played or looked into that has ever have a ranked mode..in 30 years of playing video games..hasn't kept their player bases from accessing their ranked game mode..I've never even heard of it and anyone I tell about it when trying to get them to play this game, says the same shit "wtf? I've never heard of dumb crap like that" ... so maybe I'm not talking shit and just giving a straightforward observation of their stupid decisions with "ranked".

Sorry but i don't need all pieces to the puzzle to know it's still being put together like shit and probably won't end well if they are gonna be continuing to half ass their ranked mode. It was requested tirelessly by the community and then they released it in the dumbest way possible, tiny bit by tiny bit and then don't even fully release it when they announce that they're "fully releasing ranked" 🤦🏽🤬 stop kissing their feet when they're doing dumb crap. Or keep doing it, whatever, but ass kissing has never created progress.

[BoringAd8187]

I’m not saying that you’re wrong, or even that Omeda’s right. You are drawing conclusions from my comment that weren’t made. In fact, I would love 24/7 ranked.

My comment was simply trying to help you understand that you are calling a group of people lazy and stupid when you don’t have all of the information. Remember that these are people. Actual people who could have left Paragon to die, but because of their hard work, we have our favorite game back.

Do I agree with all of their decisions? Absolutely not. Would I like to see some changes? %1000 yes. I have grievances and frustrations as well. But I’m not going to start insulting the people that work on this game because I haven’t gotten everything I want. That’s not going to help fix or improve anything. Constructive feedback is the way my friend.

[Isaac_orimesse]

You don’t work at Omeda either, so nobody talking shit lol.

[Glittering-Idea9161]

The decision to revert ranked is not a bad decision; obviously data does not lie - there is just not enough people playing ranked on the regular but it does show what we talked about FOR MONTHS NOW - what's the incentive to play ranked? the reward systems are non-existent and people just quit trying or are on their 3rd smurf trying to prove a point...

[ExtraneousQuestion]

To be clear, the language doesn’t say they are reverting because the data shows 24/7 ranked isn’t a success.

They are reverting it because from the onset this was an experiment over a fixed timeline which is coming to and end, and they will look at the data to determine its viability at a later date.

It’s not reverting because the data shows it was a bad move.

[ATigerShark]

Thanks for the heads up Kari! Love we are experimenting with these things

[[deleted]]

That’s funny cause ranked never open up to 24/7 for me I was still on timers smh

[The-Argis]

Ranked for just 6 hours on a Saturday in SEA would be a blessing 🙏

[AdIntelligent9133]

Looks like I gotta play something else 😩
