I just completed my first match post-PSR progress bar. At the end, I had two yellow bars underneath my performance bonus column. What does that mean? Did I gain or lose PSR? I PSR bar looks about the same post match as it did pre-match. Did nothing change at all?

Thanks!

Just think about what you are asking.... If you have 1000, 2000, or 10000 matches how much is 1 match going to affect things? If your PSR is based on your overall performance... you can imagine that it might take a while to budge.

Yellow bars = no change to your PSR
Green up arrow = increase in PSR
Red Down arrow = drop in PSR

'Preciate the bar breakdown. I know that PSR is based on actual performance, but I saw a couple different threads by pilots who had a significant change to their PSR after just one match. Since that was my own first one, post-bar, I really wasn't sure what to expect.

Oddly enough, I scored 1 kill and 400+ damage that round and got yellow bars for no change. I just finished a second round with just 200+ damage (got ambushed by a Dire in my un-Elited Victor ) and got a green arrow. Weird. I would have expected the better round to move me up; not the bad round.

The match being a win or a loss has more to do with your PSR going up or down than your match score.

Win, and you barely need to do squat to go up.

Lose, and you have to do pretty well not to go down.

Ah, that explains it then.

T1 = Good
T2 = Not Good
T3 = Scrubs
T4 = Scrubs and Newcomers
T5 = Scrubs and Smurfs


On a more serious note, the amount of matches one played matters a lot. I have 3000 matches in the current records with a WLR of 1.2, thus T2. If I had played 4000 matches with 1.2 WLR, then I would be in T1.

My Progress bar visibly moves after each match..

They only go back to January, and I took so many breaks that I probably only have a couple hundred battles this year, including Community Warfare, which doesn't count.

(I did a pixel comparison in paint.. it visibly moves.)

How many matches did you play in total starting from January?

Seems about right. I have 2100 Matches (sans Archive) and 1.14 WLR and am showing T3 (with bar 3/4 full).

Will have to keep an eye on future movement based on result, good or bad.

This does seem to be the case, but I had thought that Personal Skill in PSR meant that w/l didn't matter as much as my performance. So basically they just made another Elo system with lots of fancy numbers to disguise what is happening?

Lose match with highest score on team, take hit to rank.

I'm disappointed. I thought PSR was supposed to move up if you did well on a loss, and move down if you did poorly on a win. Instead, it seems little different from ELO since it's tied largely to your W/L.

It's an equal sign.... you know, this -> =
Means your PSR stayed equal to what it was previously.

This performance on a loss made the PSR go up.

Thanks, I got it sorted now. When I saw the bars initially, I thought that maybe the system would incorporate a bar system like a single bar, double bars, and triple bars to indicate status. I figured it out after my second match though.

People keep saying this, and I'm not entirely sure it's true. W/L 3,814 / 3,486 and I'm at the high end of tier 4. Of course I have no idea how much of that is since January.

Well you did still "contribute" to the Loss.
