I took out the image for the time being, I'll put in a thumb nail later (got some butts to kick online first )

I am like you in rankings, sometimes I have to play a few games before I get back to the proper position.

On rankings, do friendly matches change rankings, or only random opponent battles? I know vs computer doesnt, which is good.

Thanks for the link to the other toic. So the symbol changes with or represents player level, (not the level gear your equiping) rather than ranking or rating or score?

Friendly matches do count as ranked matches since you're still playing against another person (but only when both players are in the matchmaking range).

Though, in friendly battles, you can battle mechs that are much higher/lower lvl than your mech is (no lvl restrictions here).

Do note that if lvl difference is way too big, nobody won't get any reawards (more than 4 lvls difference). Only thing the participants get at the end of a battle is a message saying something like this: "Level difference too big. No reward available."


It represents only player's level (e.g. lvl45, lvl53, lvl100 etc) and it changes when you get new player lvl (though, in later lvls, symbol won't change after each gained lvl but instead after multiple lvls).

As far as i know, it doesn't, Aeacus, since I've already fought against people around my matchmaking level and they didn't count on my winning(or losing, which gererally doesn't go below -1 ) streaks.

Well, i have no proof if it does count or if it doesn't count.

Though, it should count if batte is in the range of matchmaking lvl. (E.g. mechs lvl diff isn't more than 4 lvls.)
Also, the reward from it (money) is the same if you'd battle with random opponent.

Oh, ranking list is bugged and it may not show the correct values.

Still, word from a staff member about this would be nice though.

Unfortunately, Aeacus, you're wrong again, if the players are in the matchmaking range, you get the rewards just like if you have been fighting against the computer, about half of the reward of a multiplayer battle. the only thing which matters is the matchmaking level difference between the players since this will increase or decrease the reward for small amounts.

I never did say that you won't get a reward from private battle.
What did i say is when mechs lvl difference is too big, you won't get any reward.
Also, i've gotten the same reward from private battle as i get when batteling random opponent.

Though, that was few game updates ago. It is possibe it has been changed. Also, i haven't done any private battles lately.

I think there is a little misunderstanding, I didn't mean that "you meant in private matches give no reward", i was talking about the normal reward while both mechs are in matchmaking range
Anyways, I can challenge you in a private match if you want

When you see me online, feel free to send a private match invite.
Though, i can't tell when i'd be online.
