Hello Robocrafters,

Earlier today I lured the server team away from their desks and managed to get a little more info on the new system they are working on for the next update.



This image is still very much work in progress*

Leader boards!
Thats right, looks like were going to be tracking core data to celebrate the top players and clans in Robocraft. The leaderboards will track two core factors in game. Player Rank and Weapon Rank.

Today we wanted to talk a little bit more about one of those core factors in the leaderboard system

Weapon Rank Explained:
Weapons will now have their own individual matchmaking rating. This means that the more you use a weapon and win battles, the higher your weapon rank will increase. There will be 5 main ranks to progress through starting from Bronze and moving through Silver, Gold, Diamond and ultimately Protonium.

Each main rank will have 5 sub ranks to progress through before you are able to rank up to the next main rank. This means in total there will be 24 opportunities to rank up across each weapon. Putting this into greater perspective, there will be over 30 weapons which will have their own weapon rank and this means there will be at least 750 sub ranks for you to progress through!

How Does Winning And Losing Affect My Weapon Rank?
The amount of weapon ranking points that you will earn or lose is dependant on that weapons current weapon rank. To start it will be easy to climb through the ranks, but over time it will be tougher to increase your weapon rank. Below are the points youll earn for winning and losing for each rank.



To show the epic sacel of this weapon progression ranking, in order to reach maximum rank for ALL weapons in game you would need to play over 4,000 games and never lose a single match.

Be the best
With this new Weapon ranking system we are hoping to see players refine their skills and talents to become the best with their favorite weapon! But were also hoping the allure of ranking up other types of weapons will provide players with a greater reason to try other weapon types.

These systems will play a larger role in matchmaking and we plan to provide a greater skill level match among all players

Tomorrow well share details on the player rank system and clan rankings.

Build, Drive, Fight!
