So...I'm assuming ELO was wiped, too? If so, how are players finding their games, now that they're brand-new, fresh pilots again?

I'm also curious as to what your matches are like, by comparison to pre reset, a week or two from now, once you'd reattained an ELO.

The stats that are being wiped are match play related. Kills, deaths, wins, losses, C-Bills/match, XP/match, kill assists, spot assists, etc. are some examples.

What will NOT be wiped are player’s current XP balance, GXP balance, C-Bill balance, Mech Trees, Pilot Trees, Inventory, Mechs/Mech Bays and ELO.

I feel they SHOULD have wiped ELO too, but they said they weren't going to touch it.

Elo is self-correcting, so there was no need (and really no point) to wipe it.

Dude..stop...beer coming out my nose....

Until they get rid of this whole "prediction" thing, which is the only thing that drives an Elo change...it's gonna be borked.

Put 2 teams together, try to make them even by Elo, then let the chips fall where they may. You win, it goes up...you lose, it goes down....it's kind of like putting whole milk into a centrifuge. Cream floats to the top, the rest goes to the bottom....including the bits of cow flop that got in there.

But, keep up the fire man. Keep believing! I'm just happy LRMs are viable again.
