Hello everyone

anyone knows how the ranking works in EOS online. I play warchiefs mostly and got to be private/lance corporal by now, but I have no idea how the ranks are achieved.

 is it simly winning x times? must it be a streak ? can you drop a rank (the levels inside a rank seem to drop sometimes e.g. private (level 6) sometimes a level higher or lower.

 Or better yet, is there a page somewhere with this kind of info

Thanx, and game on everybody

This page should help http://www.agecommunity.com/faq_mp.aspx#ratings 

Just look under player ranking

thanx very much !!

it helps lots, but it is still a bit vague. Im still wondering how many matches I should (more or less/rule of thumb) to receive a rank, and whether this needs to be a streak or not.

(e.g. one may expect to receive a higher rank when winning approximately 10(? i dont knwo) matches (in a row) against comparable adversaries)

e.g. i received corporal rank almost instantly in the treaty games (within 2-4 days play), but am still stuck at private level 7 for supremacy, while i keep thinking "after this win im there", and i do have a nice streak going.....

also this page says there is a decay for upper levels, but I also noticed i was flipping a bit between levels, up and down (lower levels, 5 6 7 etc), so whats that about ?

I guess level may drop (?), but you maintain your rank, as long as it doesn't decay (which is only true for 26+ level ranks )

thanx ! 

I'm not sure where your confusion lies, thread starter, so to blatantly copy the thing from the agecomm website:

50 Field Marshal
47-49 General
44-46 Lieutenant General
41-43 Major General
38-40 Brigadier
35-37 Colonel
32-34 Lieutenant Colonel
29-31 Major
26-28 Captain
23-25 1st Lieutenant
20-22 2nd Lieutenant
17-19 Master Sergeant
14-16 Sergeant
11-13 Corporal
8-10 Lance Corporal
3-7 Private
0-2 Conscript
 

That's how the ranking system works, everytime you gain 3 levels you will be promoted. Points are commonly allocated to you as you win games in decimals, so let's say you beat a fellow corporal; you'll get something like 0.4 points from that. When the number surpasses the required amount, you will gain a rank. Then all may fear you

:) Yes thanx,

but I read/got that.

I was simply asking for some simple rules of thumb, just like your example of 0.4, so thank you very much for that. I understand you get points/xp for everything and it depends on everything ertc etc,.

so that means i have to beat about 7-8 same-ranked opponents to gain a rank

that sounds about right?

and again, what about losses, or is it just 7-8, regardless of loosing some games in between.

It depends on the civs you and your opponent are playing as (some civs are "weaker" then others so you get slightly more points from winning as them), the home city levels of the players, the respective ranks, the number of games played and so on.

But all those factors are small, the only one that actually makes a difference is respective ranks. Gaining 0.4 points a win is rare; by beating players of your own level (in your case corporal) you'll usually gain 0.2 or 0.3.

And each time you lose, points are subtracted from your rank. You often lose the same amount of points as you would have gotten from winning the match.

So to answer your question, you could gain many ranks by consitently winning 1vs1 games vs people of equal or greater rank. But remember, playing against people of much higher rank (such as Majors for you) will have a minimal effect on your rank.

thanx, thats pretty clear and practical.

 one thing though, you say.

But remember, playing against people of much higher rank (such as Majors for you) will have a minimal effect on your rank.

Wouldn't I go very fast (maximal) up in rank playing majors and winning, but not loosing so much points when i loose from them. (that would be logical/fair)

And to make sure, you can get bunked back to private/conscript if you loose enough ?? that kinda sucks ... or can you get bunked down to the minimal level of your rank (private level 7 e.g. may be bunked to level 4, but cannot be bunked back to conscript)

 thanx !

nm

i just got bunked down to lance corporal :(

 (i resigned because this f'ing cheater cloudlee broke the rules, so his team may have the match that way... eventhough i was destroying him, and had virtually destroyed the (*$&.

Then I saw id had cost me my rank  AARRHHH).

 thanx.

Getting the ranking system now :)

it sucks ! ;)

oh btw, i went from level 11 to level 9 (!!!!!) on that one match

that severly sucks, without ;)
