#WARCRAFT 3 FORUMS UPDATE#
#WARCRAFT 3 FORUMS PATCH#

The Grandmaster division will now be the highest rank and will only comprise the top 300 players with the highest MMR globally. Those familiar with StarCraft II ranked ladders will recognize the Bronze through Grandmaster ranking system, which we are bringing to Reforged. We will be moving from the previous levels system to a more distinct medal system. However, we have made some changes from the legacy version that we believe will lead to a better Ranked Play experience for players. This means we will not institute systems like promotion or demotion matches. In keeping with legacy Warcraft III’s spirit, we also wanted to ensure that there are no requirements for moving up or down in rank beyond your raw point value. Additionally, while Ranked Play is the most competitive way to play Warcraft III: Reforged, it’s also important for us to ensure that this experience will be friendly for new players and veteran alike.Īs we continue building this next generation of Ranked Play, we want to deliver an experience where the features and functionality build upon the original Warcraft III Ranked mode, while also considering the community-driven variants that have emerged in both legacy Warcraft III and Reforged.Īs with the legacy version of Warcraft III, all five of the game modes in Reforged (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, FFA) will have their own ranked ladders. In support of this, we’ve opted to make players’ ranks linked directly to their MMRs, rather than using a more detached, progression-based system. Fundamentally, Ranked Play should provide a clear and trustworthy way for players to gauge their level of skill, as well as the skill of other players. When revisiting our designs for Ranked Play, we established a set of primary goals to guide our decision-making. For this installment, we wanted to give you a look at the changes we have in store for our highest-priority feature addition currently under development: Ranked Play. From a major balance update, to more bug and desync fixes as well as additional matchmaking improvements, our quest to make Reforged ever better continues.Īs we mentioned in our last Developer Update, we’d like to continue sharing details and insights on our ongoing development plans for Warcraft III: Reforged alongside each patch. Since our last update, we’ve released a variety of changes to Warcraft III: Reforged with our 1.32.6 PTR and patch. Greetings Warcraft III: Reforged players!

The Warcraft III developer team posted an update on Ranked Play, the highest-priority feature that is currently in development for the game. Numerous tuning and balance adjustments have been made to multiple campaign maps. You can now access your profile by right-clicking on the player icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen.Īccess other players’ profiles by right-clicking on their name and selecting “View Profile”. In the Leaderboard, you can filter by user-names, and sort between race and mode. Players can now view their rank in the Leaderboard section, which can be accessed from the Versus screen. To be placed, players must play 5 placement matches per race.Īfter playing a Ranked Match, you’ll be taken to a post-game screen which will display your MMR change and rankings. Your matchmaking rating (MMR) is unique for race, including Random. When a Season ends, the ladder will reset, and players will be able to see their history via their Profile and the Leaderboards. Players may now choose between Ranked and Unranked Play.
