I've noticed a recent bug in the point system. On the losing side it is shorting points or giving extra penalty points. Example: When finishing 1st on loosing side you are supposed to get 7 points.... The system is only giving 3 points. If you finish 2nd you are supposed to get 3 points.... The system is giving you -5.....3rd -5 you get -11..and so on and so forth.
My advice is watch the points being awarded or penalized, there is a bug in the point system.
If any others are experiencing this bug we need to report it fast. It's bad enough being on the losing team without taking an extra points penalty.

Yep -22 for 5th place loss. Seems to be an undocumented change rather than a bug?

I'm not surprised. Whoever is making the changes has the Midas touch.
They really need to get a better system in place. They need to hire some real testers and check their code. Also, stop mucking with the servers.

Yeah I've noticed something too, a few games. 1 game I got -20. Not -22, -20. I think it was when I came in last on losing side but had most caps. There was a few more games also, that had some odd numbers I'd never gotten before. I agree with moody, I didn't think it was a bug but rather a change they had made, undocumented or just something I'd missed. |

If they're going to make a change like this they should document it at least in an in game memo or something. They also changed the bm to 28 days instead of 14.

If this is an actual change in the ranking system, it makes the ranking system totally bogus.

Soft-updates, definitely. You won't know it's there till it hits you.

I have decided not to play. The point system is bogus. It has stripped me of over 70pts. I was the 2nd place on losing team kust now. -16 pts. How is that possible? 16 isnt even in the charts right?

I've been playing a few matches today and it seems like the problem has been fixed. Point totals have returned to original awards or penalties. Can anyone confirm my experience?

It was fixed, I played a few battles and the points seem normal.

This is what pixonic just wrote me about the recent unpleasantness with the point system:
According to our research, there was a minor malfunction on our servers. This bug is already fixed and shouldn't bother you anymore. Please take my sincere apologies.
I had also asked if they would make right the points lost, but I guess they ignored that part.

I haven't been playing the game that long to know the system so I thought it was just me.
