@Cheese9Man Thank you.
@Cro_Pittt @Asmodeus566 just logged in as it's ready to play but still only 52% of HD texture done.
Yea I'm down 2.5 levels in ranked too, to silver II. Don't recollect reading that they werechanging that from 1.5 to 2.5 anywhere. Is it a glitch?
@OldTreeCreeper so I did get to play four matches yesterday and Yup I was also knocked down 2.5 ranks. I do not think it is a glitch and do not like it one bit. Where was the comms on this.
Thinking about this a bit and even though I do not like it and it feels like someone flushed me down the toilette, the 2.5 rank demotion makes a weird sort of sense. Lets say the left it at the normal 1.5 demotion with how the new entry costs and the new KP system works a lot of players may have found out the hard way that while playing in the new structure all they could do was lose points which of course would be a negative experience for the player/s and EA as the player/s would probably through in the towel at that point. By demoting 2.5 levels as harsh as that is and also seemingly unfair, it provides player/s a better chance of gaining RP while playing and maybe becoming hard stuck quicker but has less of a negative impact as far as possible player retention.
I really have to say that the new ranked system is going to be bad for both player/s and EA/Respawn, I like the addition of team KP/RP but the rest is looking to be a hot mess. It is going to be tough in ranked play this season and only the players that have set teams and lots of time to make the grind will be at the higher ranks (streamers, pros, content creators etc) the rest of us that have "real" lives and fair to above avg skills will be lucky to get to Plat and if you do not have a set team, looking at Solo Q players it will be even rougher unless you are named Aceu.
