Ok, i'm officially ROPED in
Definitely excited for this now.
@Jonno, how about when it's released let's grab some people, some from TUS Vs some from Team17 for a funner, there are some guys here who can stream on twitch too
Yes, we're up for that! I've already been reaching out to the top level Team17 Developer players to get on stream. We'll probably stream it on our channel too
Thinking a 3v3 will be in order.
Jono, can you give us anything about the matchmaking, rankings system?
Will we be able to play 2v2 ranked games per example?
Ok, so I've just gone and got the thumbs up to discuss ranked mode a bit more with you all.
The game will be launching with a 1v1 ranked mode. Once we know ranked is working as intended and we're happy with how it's performing we'll be looking at adding team based ranked, such as 2v2.
- Ranked is split into 10 'Ranks', with 10 being the lowest and 1 being the highest. Depending on your performance you can go both up and down the rankings, so consistency is important.
- Everyone starts at rank 10.
- Each rank has it's own profile badge that you can display, for example rank 10 is 'Prod' and rank 1, well that's a surprise.
- There are two weapon skin rewards for performing well in ranked:
Reach rank 5 - Silver Grenade Weapon Skin
Reach rank 1 - Golden Bazooka Weapon Skin
- Ranked will matchmake you with your opponents, you can't use a lobby system and cherry pick your opponents.
- If someone disconnects the person who disconnected will be issued a loss and the remaining player a win.
Hopefully this overview answers some of your questions
