For me the new rankings are useless. So I'm 4th in the Middle East... big whoop. With the Global rankings I saw my rank improve all the time, and while ladder rank really means nothing wrt skill, it still gives some motivation to play a bit more when you're so close to breaking a rank number (before this I was close to breaking 200).Hylis wrote:Kaspah, hardly meaningful if players can not play one against the others. We will keep it for the asynchronous solo of Trackmania, of course.
Other than that, 4th in Middle East doesn't tell me anything about my position vs Europe.
And another thing, I get a lot of negative comments from stupid players when they see "Middle East" when they spec me, so..
It would be nice to have global rank, or at least combine some regions, seeing as players in north africa and middle east actually play on European servers and the ping is fine - that was your argument for implementing this.
