Arena rank8 question

  • Arena rank8 question

    How exactly is the top rank calculated? Is it based on top x number of people? Or is it based off a percentage of the curve.

    If it's the former, then the second prize pool just seems dumb.

    If it's the latter, are the top 10 screwing the rest of us by shooting up so high?

    Maybe my memory is shot but I coulda sworn top 400 or so were rank 8 yesterday, now it's only top 300ish. Because of how this event is self regulating, if it is based off a percentage factored by the top players, a lot less people are going to be rewarded a fair prize.

    I'm now able to hit high 280's and stay rank 7. I'm all but convinced rank 8 is shrinking. Boo

        It's based on points yeah, but the actual number keeps rising. Because people keep killing each other, the required points is rising faster than the pelaton, to steal and misspell a bicycling term.

            Re: Arena rank8 question

            I was rank 7 top 1k at some point with 200 points. Now I am rank 6 top 2500 with 500 points. I'm not sure I understand it either to be honest.

              The higher the top people get, the more is required for every rank. Because of how slowly the majority of people between about 100-500 are actually rising, the number of rank 8's is shrinking quite badly. I'd just like to hope P.A. was expecting more than 50 people in rank 8. Who knows though I guess.

                Re: Arena rank8 question

                It is a bit crazy. I'm in Rank 7: #369 with 780 pts and if I kill a rank 7 then Im at 280 in 8. But I cant stay there long cause 100 plus knock me back down quicker than sh**! I can be killed twice and then I go to 440 and killed again and to 555 but I kill two people and I'm right back on the edge of 7/8.
                I only kill my rank so I get 25 pts each kill. Maybe I should kill lower levels so I don't go into 8 until the right time. lol

                I actually spent FP when the event started and now I am wasting tokens because I don't want to go into 8. Unfortunately it doesn't stop the 100 plus and the 1200 plus levels from reaching down into 7 and killing me.

                  Re: Arena rank8 question

                  The points needed rise as the population becomes more active. The ranking is percentile based. So out of the whole population playing arena only about .5-1% will achieve rank 8 about 5% rank 7 and so on. Think voodoo gave a table closely resembling the break up it usually happens in ca arena.

                  Check out suggestion for arena thread in to the dev section.

                      8: 8-0

                      These are percent of game population
                      This is being generous.. I'm thinking it is more like 1% if that
                      This... They set it up to work off game population by percentages...

                      This chart isn't 100% accurate however it gets the job done. So say we have 100k players signed up for arena..

                      That means 8000 will get the rank 8 prize... Which means who ever is in rank 8000 determines the cutoff point.

                      21000 will get reaper (rank 7 prize) (not including the other reward pool) rank 21000 determines cut off point

                      34000 players will get rank 6 prize, cutoff determined by the player in rank 34000.

                      These numbers aren't accurate and are used to illustrate how the calculation works

                        Hmm. Well something must be totally screwey with the rankings then cause that would mean there's less than 4000 people signed up with how the cusp of rank 8 is going.

                          Like I said I don't know the exact numbers but pa sets the percent and then it's out of their hands it's all controlled by the players

                            Just seems kinda dumb to set it so close to top 200 already. Oh well.

                              This is why it's important for everyone who plays to sign up... Even if you don't plan to participate or if your boycotting buying FP.
