I totally just came out of the *tier* closet...

Cool feature, but the numbers and coloured bar need more contrast, and they bleed into each other and aren't the easiest thing to read.

Let the pee pee measuring commence.

[White Bear 84]

I would be interested to know the ratio of tier 1 and 2 players that are either predominantly IS or predominantly clan.

[Gaussfather]

Thanks, where can we see the numerical score for our profile and the scores for the Tier ranking system? i.e. wondering how much I need to improve to go up a tier etc.

Going well here in the land of potatoes.

Little surprised that it is just a number.
Was kind of hoping for an insignia of some sort.
Still... there you go.

It may be that you're not actually supporting the team.

You sure are mouthy for a little guy.

Out of pure curiosity, what exactly are you doing that you feel is unrewarded?

I think you misunderstand what I said... I do get kills -though of late I'm out of practice as I play so little, any more- and I continue to improve, but I also tend to get between two and six "Kills Most Damage" per game I play. I would simply like those to be considered in the tier ranking.

Now, before you come back with another smart-mouth-dumb-ass thing, I'm just going to block you, now.

If its not a ranked system why are the tiers in Gold, Silver, Bronze

I mean every other ranked system like this in competitive games reset seasonally (Starcraft2, League of Legends), but this one doesnt. Not really sure what it is

besides the fact it goes... t1 to T3... "A yellow" "a Grey" "a Brown" which is basically a non sparkle version of "Gold, Silver, Bronze", this game doesn't reset seasonally because it's what the MM goes and it tries to use long term info to know where you are , won 3 games and lost none because you got reset but are a bad player? You are now the best person in game and will get like a 50 game losing streak as you vs people whose been playing 3 years more then you.

After mercilessly flogging my 4 UAC5 Mauler 1P all week, I am now one pixel (possibly no pixels) inside tier 3, so I am willing to turn on my tag.

(Also picked up 0.03 on my KDR, so yay!)

[Tom Sawyer]

Its all just numbers

[Grayson Sortek]

Neato!

Can someone tell me how the tier system works?
How it's calculated? How I see why I'm in the tier that I am? etc?

I took a short break from MWO and when I came back I kept hearing about this tier system that I've been ignoring. However, now that it is going to be all over the forums under people's badges, I guess I should figure this out.

[SpikeTank]

What do the numbers represent?

[Threat Doc]

There are five Tiers, and each of those Tiers is a category of players who, according to the numbers, are better capable of playing with others who play similarly to them. Some choose to see this as better or worse and, to be honest, Tier 5 has the players who have problems shooting accurately and driving their 'Mechs in a non-reckless fashion, while Tier 1 are those guys that can skin your 'Mech alive with a mere look. Hyperbole, isn't it wonderful?!

While in games, if it can be done, you will face others in your same Tier, but as the population lowers at particular times of the day or night, these Tiers are opened to adjacent ones, though I understand Tier ones are likely never to play against Tier 4 or 5, nor Tier 5s play against Tier 1 or 2. I'm content being Tier 4, for now, and I have to admit that my KDR and hit percentages have improved quite a bit since PSR was put into place and, frankly, I think I will be able to improve better when fighting others of the same Tier as me, so when I get to Tier 3, which I'm not far from, now, I can increase the learning curve a bit without being too angry after a few matches to have a desire to continue improving.

This was a good move on PGIs part.

[Wyattorc]

Testing 1.2.3. Is this thing working?

[Dagger6T6]

4-evar!

[Sturmwind]

Should be shown if you check on a players profile, too. A lot aren't active in the forums really and probably won't look up posts of someone they want to know the tier of. Not that it means anything, except that one has played a load of matches already with a good positive W/L ratio.

[MahKraah]

a pilot-skill tier system and the all deciding factor is NOT YOUR performance but the one of the team.
a joke

3 kills 6 asissts 400+ dammage best player in team and it still was a = because the rest of the team was weak and 2x disconnects , a loss...
so i performed well but i got no boost to my skill tier because we lost due to factors out of my influence.

in all average matches you raise when winning and if your team lose you will drop while having exactly the same performance.

as long as the team win is so overweighted this system is everything but a pilot skill tier system, its meaningless.
