Slight rank glitch

Post by Verin »

I took a look at the http://guide.wz2100.net/rankings guide to see what the stars and stuff really meant. Today I learned that it is possible to win games that you have never played.

I dont think this is important enough to use the bug tracker, but according to my stats - entirly legit- i have a middle bronze star, yet a bottom gold. How is this possible? :hmm:
I have won more games than played, and I KNOW i have lost at least 10 games in the 40-60 games ive played.

I cant prove this oddity to anyone unless they see me online.

Did anything with the rankings change in previous patches? This is hardly important enough to me to even post this, but i found it a little bit intriguing.

Rankings are weirdly glitched in Windows, iirc. I don't remember the details.

We haven't changed ranking calculations in the last two years, no (Well, actually, I think we changed the medal calculations to fix a bug, but not the stars).

I use a mac, a couple days ago i learned that rankings are computer based-that lead me to believe my mac was having another "mac" episode.

it's no biggie, ranks don't mean much at all.

Sometimes after I play against the computer under one of my nicknames with rank, the game will create nicks with the same stats as the nick I just played as, but the names will be like, Pink, Red, Green, ETC. The game creates these on its own somehow.
My nicknames - Mattbrit -> TankMaster -> Dr Reed -> ??? :)
