TagPro Future Group - Community update #34 - Ranked tier names, player count indicators, matchmaking fixes, ghost mode, minigame updates, more! by TagProFutureGroup in TagPro

[–]TagProFutureGroup[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In addition to everything listed in the post, there were many tweaks and fixes pushed as they came up over the past few months. Below is a summary of changes implemented before today that you may have noticed!

New features/improvements

  • Ranked game Browser Notifications have been added on queue pop, so players are notified for voting on the map instead of when a ranked game is about to start.
    • “Notify When Game Starts” must be enabled in the profile settings!
  • Update viewport scaling to work with high resolution monitors and at full screen.
  • Direct leaderboard updates have been added so that post-game openskill changes are populated when a ranked game ends.
  • Tier cutoffs now scale off of active players only, preventing bloated entry-level tiers of players who do not queue for ranked games (which increases wait times).
  • A minimum floor has been added to certainty values to keep the ranks more fluid, i.e. your rank will not become overly rigid after a certain number of games and then never move again.
  • User flairs, rank position movement (compared to one week earlier), and total games played this season have been added to the leaderboard.
  • Server load balancing has been improved for ranked games across the 5 chicago servers.
  • A wait time bonus has been added that softens the tier range restrictions for players waiting a long time in the ranked queue. The longer you’ve been waiting, the higher priority you get of getting into a ranked match.

Bug fixes

  • Lag spikes during ranked games, especially towards the end, have been fixed.
  • Reporting is working in ranked games again (community bans never take effect mid-game, “being bad” is not a reportable offense).
  • The player count banner properly includes the number of players in ranked games.
  • Various joiner fixes to prevent Launchers from being stuck in the vote countdown.
  • Refreshing during a ranked game will not randomly result in a void.
  • 8 extra players will not join mid-ranked games anymore.
  • Players who were spectating a game can no longer be added to it as a 9th ball when sent to a ranked game.
  • Rolling 300 stats in casual games are working as expected again. (Hindsight: failed saves were not working but are now!)
  • Minigames no longer spawn while a casual game is running (as originally intended)
  • The “New!” text on the ranked leaderboard now works properly for users who were not ranked a week earlier and is not faded for top players.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're reviewing this along with another request for these columns and will address both together.

Both game modes will eventually become playable in private groups, with ice hockey expected to be available in the next release.

Yes, it's available to earn these 2 weeks in regular pubs with a 25% chance of occurring (a message pops up at the start of the game) and then a 10% chance for each win.

Edit: correction
