I was taught to play pool 15 years ago by efron reyes in the philipines when i was on holiday...

i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it i hate it

that bad sam

It's currently accidentally in overall, this will be removed next patch.

Yea and I'm a close relative to Chuck Norris

It is a bit crazy, I have had 26 runouts already

That's about 33% run out success, very nice!

3 gbs so far, still addictive, hard trying to hold lead for gbs

only thing i dont like is the low ranking, after newbie i didn't see need to play for 0.1 rank so playing friendly for now until tournies come out

twice got b2b run outs

and me 3 in a row

put the tourneys on now lol... got a lot of non newbies already

I don't think the rank scale factor being at 1 is really a good idea... surely it should be higher than normal 9 ball?

yeah 0.1 after newbie isnt much point really.

Wins 129 (58.6%)
Losses 91 (41.4%)
Run Outs 36

Still around 1 in every 3 breaks.

Not too bad.

yeah, there are about 20 players that are not newbie already

but i cant play them all time.. so im struggling for rank gain

Ranking scale factor should not alter your eventual ranking. Setting it lower just increases the time it takes to reach it.

(Note: I had previously erroneously said that increasing this increased the range of rankings due to increased energy in the system but I was corrected by janmb as the core element of the system is the following "The comparative rule is that if a person is 100 points higher ranked than their opponent we expect them to win 75% (three quarters) of their games.")



It's going to be the case while you're one of the small percentage who isn't a newbie, playing mostly newbies (remember the game is only a few hours old).

well most of the top 50 ranked players are not newbies not anyway

In Arcade 8 though it seems as if the rankings have hit a bit of a snag now. It looks as if no one can make it over 800 at the moment, do you expect this to match the spread and deviation of the other games any time soon? Or do you think arcade rankings will be generally lower anyway?

Give it time, ranks will increase
