Just recently, i started to play maps which i haven't played before in old AA2.8.5 versions. I wanted to gain the next battletracker rank. I have been Major, but then all of a sudden my bt-playerrank got set even back to Captain. Back then, this occured only when new maps had been integrated into battletracker. Now, i can't see any new maps being integrated into bt, despite of the fact that the bt admins are afk for months. That makes it even more curious why i've lost a player rank. Is anyone experiencing the same problem or can clarify this?

Agree 100%! But if they are all afk i doesn't make sense to loose a playerrank all of a sudden. That's really strange..

There's 1 reason I can think of that could make this happen.

If you have a high FR on a map, you receive high Activity and Popularity ratings on a map. If you were to have a FR of say 20 with 1 hr and then play for an other hour letting your FR drop to 1, your Activity and Popularity for that map could drop A LOT. BT looks at the average (for as much as I know) so that drop would have to be quite substantial to have an effect (or you'd have to be on the edge), so I don't know if there really is a high probability of this changing something.

If i understand you right, then it really could be a reason. A while ago i started playing on new maps, like Bridge Crossing, UA, Weapons Cache or Insurgent Camp. My goal was to raise my playerrank from major to the next rank, but i had a really bad fr/ratio on these 'new' maps, compared to my usual fr/ratio from the old and familiar maps. My average frrate sank from 2.12-.13 to 2.10 right now, only because i played on these maps recently.

Did I understand you correctly, that you:
started playing on maps you'd never played before
had a bat kill/death ratio (FR) which resulted in your overall FR to go down

If that's the case, it shouldn't affect your playerrank, as it should be calculated with the FR of that map (and that map only).

Exactly.

Then i didn't understand what you've described above. Can you explain it in other words or make it more clear with an example?

What I described earlier was:
You have already played on a map, but only for like 1 hr, going 20 kills, 1 death, making your FR 20. Activity and Popularity should (at least in theory) be directly proportional to your FR, so if you play for 1h and have 20 FR, your Activity should be 20(20 FR multiplied by 1 hour) . Now if you play for an other hour going 0 kills 19 deaths, that would make your overall FR on that map 1, and your Activity would drop to 2 (1 FR multiplied by 2 hours). Don't remember the formula for Popularity, but I think it was something with score times FR (and Experience is pure score, 200point = 1 Experience %).

Well, it was indeed something like this in the last days. I mainly played Bridge Crossing and especially in the last days i had some bad fr/ratios whenever i made a session there, i mean really bad compared to the days before this all happened. In that time my playerrank has dropped, although i was even close before getting the next playerrank after Major (2% missing, have forgotten the name), but then i even lost a complete rank. That's so curious...

Nah, i just suk these days. It seems that my mouse&mouse pad combo is getting rubbish after more than 2 years in use. But maybe i also need more hours on Bridge Crossing.

Nevertheless, let's stay on topic, please.

Yes sorry was just joking. I'm pretty sure teddy's right. If your ratio gets down hardly you can lose ranks

dapand · « **Reply #12 on:** Sunday, December 30, 2012, 10:07:20 AM »

teddy's right, if you have say 1 hour on SF Blizzard and 40 kills/0 kia and then end with 2 hours with 40 kills/40 kia, then your rank on this map would go low. Hence your overall rank would lower too.

You can explain why some people are general with 100kills/1kia 2 hours session on maps like Arctic and shit as FR has a lot to do with ranks.
