New Feature: Rating Decays

[NaharPT]

Very good news. Thanks Kyle.

Note: If your rating is below 200, it does not decay.

I'll be adding x4 fluoridesnake to fight the decay.

[iClipse]

Ah, that'll encourage people to play again!

[busti]

how big a decay are we talking about?

[TheSt4lker]

I'll be back on qm. Great news.

Raph is back!

how big a decay are we talking about?

It's in the OP

3 rating every day if you're above 200 rating, as long as you don't play in 5 days.

[busti]

oh indeed!

Wish the 5 day grace period was shorter.. 3 days maybe?

+1

Well, now that i have more time to tell my thought, i would say 5 day grace period isn't bad, but rating decay for players between 200 to 250 seems not a good idea IMO, these players aren't great players and most of them might be just casual players, so what's the point for them to play a game every week-end if they lose 6 points every week or a lot more after a 2 weeks break? Even casual players care about rating (we saw this every rating reset with all the threads "my rating went down from 200ish to 0, wtf?"). If i was them, i would surely stop playing or at least lose interest in rating and so in playing this game. And even with rating decay, good players will always be over 250 after some times.

My 2 cents.
