Patch 16.0: The Invasion Begins

Ranking/Rating Changes

• We are making several adjustments to the current ranking system with the following goals:

  • Make it harder to achieve Legendary Rating

    [/*]

  • Decrease the time to climb to your expected Rating range once you reach Legendary

    [/*]

  • Reduce the punishment for not hitting 10 wins at high rating values

    [/*]
  [/*]

• Legendary players now start at 800 Rating

  [/*]

• Rating losses have been significantly reduced, more so at the lower wins end

  [/*]

• Reduced the ranking point changes for Gold and Diamond tier, requiring a higher average wins to achieve the next tier

  [/*]

• Starting Income 5 (from 7)

  [/*]

• We are trying to shift some stuff around in the economy, so we are lowering the base Income but improving a variety of economy nodes

  [/*]

• Tournament Mode has arrived for Public Testing

  [/*]

• As this is a testing environment, please be aware that there may be bugs, interruptions and unannounced downtime/maintenance of this branch

  [/*]

• In order to play Tournament Mode, you must manually switch to the Public Test Realm branch on Steam

  • You can do this by right-clicking on the Bazaar in your Steam Library, selecting Properties and finding Game Versions and Betas

    [/*]

  • Enter the following Steam Access Code under Private Versions to unlock the Branch: 17IR8wb70MJOxCCh

    [/*]

  • Once the version is unlocked, you can select PTR in the list

    [/*]

  • This will initiate a download

    [/*]

  • Note that you will need to use this same menu to return back to the normal version of the game

    [/*]
  [/*]

• After the game updates, you will need to create a new account

  • This account will only be usable on this branch and does not interact with your normal Bazaar account

    [/*]
  [/*]

• If the game doesn't load properly, try using Verify Game Files as switching branches like this can often cause issues

  [/*]

• Tournament Mode can be freely shared/streamed by all

  [/*]
