Not Planned Ranked Modes

I think that adding ranked to games like cakewars, skywars, survival games and bridges would benefit the server greatly. Giving players the opportunity to play against players of their skill level and earn various rewards. The most predominant game which I believe adding a ranked mode to would be fantastic is cakewars. This game (being the most popular game among the mineplex network) would become much more enjoyable if a ranked mode were to be added. This is because from my experiences of playing this gamemode, I find that there is always 2 teams which are taken out instantly, and the other two have a long fight. If ranked were added, all 4 teams could be around the same skill level.

However, I do consider the fact that this may not be a change which will occur due to the team's business during the seasonal holiday, as well as the fact that a change like this would take a lot of time to bring into the server.

 

I do like this idea, but sadly it will get rejected again because it will split up the player base. Regardless tho, I will give this a +1

 

Hi, glugging!

I, myself, love the competitive aspect of many of the games found on Mineplex. There are just a few issues that come to mind when considering a change like this.

To start, ranked game modes tend to attract cheaters and hackers. When incentives are offered into games, (For example, ranked game mode rewards) more players tend to do whatever it takes to receive the end prize of the game. In order to do this, users will often cheat, hack, boost, or in some way manipulate their gameplay. Not only does this ruin the game for others, but it completely goes against the competitive aspect of the game.

While I prefer to be optimistic, it is just a fact that if competitive ranked games were to be added with rewards, those said game modes would be targeted by hackers and cheaters.

That said, I love this idea, and I would love to see something similar implemented! It would just require some modification to ensure fair gameplay for all of the users.

 

Hey!

I think this is an awesome idea! It'll go well with competitive PvP games such as SkyWars, SG, Cake Wars, and SSM. It'll encourage players to play more, climb the ranks, and have fun! The top players would get an exclusive win effect, or a cosmetic, flexing that they were a high rank.

However, this comes with its cons. People will be encouraged to hack more as it would be more rewarding to win, and hacking would make it easier to win, and climb ranks. This would also cause the rise of closet cheaters, with modified reach, kb, and maybe even an auto clicker. It would make the player seem more legitimate while making it harder to recognize/ban. While we do have a wonderful QA team, and a fantastic anti-cheat, I fear the influx of cheaters would be too much, causing legitimate players to drop ranks when they should be winning, shattering the system.

An idea I have for combating this is introducing a system where if you lose, and there was a hacker that was later punished in that game, your loss will be revoked. The number of players affected by this loss removal will be based on GWEN anti cheat logs. Normally, GWEN logs aren't enough to justify a ban, because you don't actually know if that player is hacking. However, since that player has now been punished, you can assume GWEN was right when the now-banned hacker was flagged for say reach a couple of days ago.

All in all, I give this idea a +1, and would love to see it piloted on CW!

 

Hey!

As people have mentioned, this idea has been denied many many times as it would be splitting the limited player base that we have as of right now. The concept of this is great but just isn't something we are willing to do right now.

With this noted, I will be marking this thread as Not Planned as well as Locked again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your idea!
