TWD Reset - Rating System is up for testing

[qan]

It's sort of all or nothing ... that was the problem in implementing it. Also in testing it.

We continue to track down and smash mercilessly these helpless little bugs. (Crashes/locks should be solved. There is a current bug with ratings not averaging correctly that I am working on, but is just annoying to fix. Ratings on the losing team in bd should now show. Terr and shark bd ratings may need adjustment, especially terrs, and our ratings aficionado Ogron is hopefully able to tackle it, which I can then put in the system.)

General note to throw out to everybody is, if you see anything please post it. I know some people who can't be bothered ("lol staff fkd up again :-D"), but about 80% of the time people are complaining about something it's literally the first time I've ever heard about it. We're a small community here, a country manor, and the maid can replace the lightbulb but you've got to get her to stop watching her stories, come down, put on the apron and then point at the ceiling until she understands.

is it possible to have the newsystem bot to run along side the old system as a slave bot kinda that has no commands to run the game but still does its thing? I know probably sounds stupid but what do I know about these programming things? lol nothing :P

thank you for your time guys

Made some progress here... narrowed the possible sources of this strange bug. Should know more soon. Thanks for being patient and to the people who helped test.

We got to testing the issue today and we've narrowed the cause down quite a bit.


TWD is playable again as we've reverted back to the old working build until the suspected has been rechecked and reworked.

It's too late to improve the fkin game.

TBH ty for trying new things in twd, even though it may have stopped the game from happening for abit, at least we are trying to improve the game. Hopefully a fix will come soon

point is that this zone experiences the highest population on a twl sunday. active players, semi active players, and even old vets log on to see whats up. if they cant even play a single twd game then how shitty does this zone look? why would they stay? its common sense to expect an error.

u done its 100 population game aint hurtin no one but u

0 iq move to test this shit on the day where not only active players log on but also old vets aka twl. 0 foresight.

We provided alternative match making options, and knowing it wouldn't affect TWL, you lost nothing.

We could've started testing today, but at the same time the first game played could be on Wednesday. That's 2 days worth of nothing, whereas on a Sunday we encountered an issue after just a few hours.

Well that started off awkward.

Temporary TWD shutdown. Bots freeze after the first kill.

Hopefully the worst first, and once we've got this fixed we can progress to further testing.
Will keep you guys informed.

UPDATE: We are making progress each passing day. Testing is on again. Play to your heart's content.

TWD was reset today to accommodate the TWD Ratings system. You can test it now, simply by playing.


There is a high chance of several issues that we will need to iron out; statistics mixed up, bots crashing, site not updating etc.
The more you can report suspected bugs or occurring issues, the faster they can be solved and the faster we will get a solid build of the system.


Every player will have individual ratings changes depending on their current rating, who they play with and who they play against. It all counts towards the gains and losses of your rating.
We recommend you play as much as possible, with as many different lineups as possible, and against as many different teams as possible. This way the system will be stressed and tested to the optimal.


To report any and all issues: Post on forums or send a ?help call about it. We'll get to it asap.


Staff will try to provide an alternative way to play squad matches if there is any down time to TWD Bots or the website functioning.


Statistics page: http://twd.trenchwars.org/stats
Currently the ratings don't show on player's TWD profile.

We will show recognition to the most active testers.
