I'd imagine I'm somewhere in tier 3 or maybe 2, mostly based off of who I'm playing with and against. I usually have someone from SWOL, -MS-, SRoT, and other big/"top" factions in the game, and I pretty much always make 200-300+ match score.

So long how do we have to wait for the dream to die?

I bump into Yokilin, William Phillard, Mister D, Petard. I see these guys at least once a week and they are better than I am. I do not know what tier I am. I suspect they are almost into the best tier but just out of it and I am in the nuegety middle, so I see them and the scrubbers below. Remembers Gents in a Pig factory they stack the pigs 3 cages high and they have cage floors so things can fall through them, oh! and they only feed FOOD to the pigs in the cages on the TOP!

the vote is till tomorrow and then count some time to implement that opt-in mechinc that will be it.


By the way, some of those groups are rather big so the unit tag isn't neccessarily a good indicator for the tier

I do not really care. If i am tier 5 i'm ok with it. I do know i am not tier 1.

Also, you drop with/against players up to 2 tiers above/below you, so... in my opinion the ppl you get are more determined by playing time and server selection, with the playerbase MWO has.

[SaltBeef]

I do not know if tier 1 is Tier 5 and Tier 5 is tier 1 LOL! I am rolling around in the middle somwheres LOL!

My teir is going to depend heavily on whether I am running my good mechs or just leveling my lowly mechs. I think the same can be said for most players in MWO. Teir listing will not be perfect.

Here's a good advice: Don't measure your standing against SRoT. -MS- is all over the place. We can also not really estimate the tiers as long as we can't see/don't know who's where exactly.
It also depends if the PSR standing will be shown in client, on the website or both. An implementation to the website shouldn't really take that long.

I would like to know where I sit among others, but its not a priority nor do I spend much time worrying about what my tier is, and what my stats are.

The challenge things, sure, but that is when some MC or prizes are on the line, us space poor gotta work the bank

Seriously though the only thing you can know atm is if you're tier 1. The way to know that is to see how frequently you see trial mechs. If it's more than once in say 50 games you're not tier 1. At least that's how I know.

According to the Tier write-up in the patch notes, all it seems to says is the following:

Quote

A Tier 1 player will never play against a Tier 4 or Tier 5 player.

So a tier 1 player can still have tier 5 players on his team if the opposing team is composed of all tier 3 players.

I'm really curious to know what tier I'm in. Tiers will probably not be as indicative of skill as many people think. It is more of a matchmaking algorithm for the game. I mean, a tier 1 or tier 2 player is obviously going to be very good, but there is a lot more to a talented pilot than a mere tier number

It also depends a lot on who you drop with. For instance, if you are a good player who only drops in solo queue, and you are at the mercy of the matchmaker to assign you to a team, then you will have a harder time reaching tier 1. Meanwhile, a less skilled pilot who drops with their unit frequently and steamrolls the enemy team could have a higher tier than you (even if they are not better overall). Make sense?

PSR is tied to your in-game performance, win or lose.

Yes, but it's harder to do well in an uncoordinated team of players compared to when you are dropping with other people who know what to do. Plus, matches usually end up with one team completely dominating the other. This happens in MWO like in no other game

Getting 300+ match rating scores in a stomp is very possible and fairly easy.

Honestly, that's sooner than I expected.

That's just 2 patch cycles.
