Broken, Crap ? Are you serious ? COHO had was the most popular by far of all Coh games.... Was in fact too popular... So popular that they need to increase the server farm, but the economic model wasn't ready yet and THQ was already in bad shape, so they had to drop it.... stop spreading crap plz.

I've had a talk with the server team about our ELO and Decay systems.

I will be looking at adjusting the decay rate and creating some special conditions to make it a bit less painful for everyone and make the ranking at lot more valid. I've already got a couple ideas for this.

Basically decay is based on not having played any matches within a time period of one week.

To understand some of the basics of ELO take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

There is basically a calculation of the difference in player elo's which the increase/decrease in elo pts are based off of. There are some additional calculations in there as well that i cannot go into detail about.

If you are matched with a low elo newb and your opponents are high elo uber dudes, then the overall difference in elo will make it so that even if you lose, your reduction in elo will be much less.

I like the 'last game played' column and will be adding it into the design.

I've also taken a look at vCoh and that ladder with it's rank based icons. I like that system and have already put in the request with the server team to see if we can get that going for coh2

For now i think the rank based icons like we had in vCoh will essentially cover us for 'tiers'.

Goodies for top ranks is a great idea, however this will require a season based system to make it work, which we currently do not have.

Additionally I will mention that i am also working on a time based graph that will show you at what point in the game you are achieving your wins/losses (ie. wins/losses displayed for early/mid/late game).

==========



Currently the decay is set so that you won't go below a certain elo. But I do think there is more that we need to do beyond this in order to make it more appropriate for players. For instance taking into consideration that the player is still active even if with another faction. As well as changing the way decay behaves depending on what elo range you are in. These types of changes are independent of a new leaderboard and will hopefully get in soon. I'll keep everyone posted.

Ok, new serious problem just arrived. Trolls. I had few games with guys who do not have any commanders or bulletins and they simply do nothing. They are not afk, they are writing that they are trollig casue it's impossible to win as Allies vs Axis. They simply do nothing as a protest against unbalance.
