World Ranking announcement

[somebody1001]

wat was the point of putting the countries in rank order?
(cuz it took me a while 2 scroll down all the way 2 usa =/)

In Sinagpore, I'm 1 rank down; A Silver battleaxe +

Wee.

[zenithyoda]

Imma gold battle axe ... in both. Yay!?

[NewOldThought]

wonderful, now you don't have an accurate marker of somebody's skill...oh wait, rank didn't matter anyway...and i stay a silver battleaxe + (singapore) so i don't really care...

[vollendetII]

*kicks ground* If only I still had my other account. I'd be a freaking Canadian pro! Heck, I'd maybe even be passed bloodbug!  :

while its fun, its also retarded to be honest....

I like it for two reasons. One is that I (theoretically) get a pretty rank. The other is that there's a whole lot less emphasis on having high ranks now (241 silver dragons?), so it basically kicks the mega-botters in the e-penis :wub:

[kiwibonga]

It does justify the GP reduction for 1v1 and the anti-botter-tk shit ;p

yeah but it also kicks those in the balls that stay the same rank. :

Aside from doing a lot of math dealing with percentages, what might be a good way to check GP requirements now.

In the Level & Award, (I'm not sure, I never do pay much attention) there is no way to select your country (yet, or maybe ever)... So are the levels the same as they were before? They look to be, I can't be sure though.

Not quite.  I'm GBA+ overall, but VW in the US.  I'm only ~100-150 away in total GP, but obviously the rank divisions aren't quite the same.

How fun is this:

Edit: Uberbacon is ranked 3rd in Sweden, a Red Dragon. He's 3rd in Palt, too.
Ruk is ranked 11th in USA, a Blue Dragon. He's ranked 1st in Palt.
What we have here is - Uber has a higher visible rank than Ruk, but is lower in the guild rankings. I bet there'll be a lot of this madness to follow.

what if it was a typo and they ment to say that total ranking is shown in game? since thinking about to make world rank be shown in game, they would have to change around so much to fix it all.
