Ratings inflation is expected over time due to more players, not fewer. I don't know if that's solely responsible for the big jump in levels with the 2.0 switch, but wouldn't be surprised either.

Speaking of ratings inflation, this morning I reached level 42 on the isotropish leaderboard for the first time... and after going 4-0 this evening I made it above 5000 on the Pro rating. The last time I was in the 40s, it was good enough for top 25 (back in 2011/2012, on isotropic)... maybe it's good enough for top 100 tomorrow.

Anyway, I am happy to have reached these milestones before baby arrives and makes me bad at Dominion again. :)

I think everybody is around 10 levels higher than on the Goko Iso board. I mean, I'm 47 now - I've never been above 33 on the old board.
It's also true for the best who are around 65 now - on the old one they would be around 55.

The new system defaults to pro games right? So a large influx of players who did not previously play that mode would make sense.

Awhile ago there was about 400 people online on the MF app. Recently there has been close to 1,000 people online. This should inflate the ratings a bit.

But only 3 people are seeking games. What's up with that?

Hm, I stand corrected (ish). The average μ right now is close to 20 (19.90) vs. ~15 (15.05) on the Goko leaderboard (which also has more total players, 39316 vs. 24615). This won't correspond exactly with the starting parameters (which, as far as I can tell, haven't changed from the 25 ± 25 we've always had), but it definitely suggests something is different. It could be the case that having more total players pulls the overall average down - more players with few games and lower μ - but the extremes should also be less extreme with fewer players, which isn't the case (z values have actually gone up at bit at the top of the leaderboard, including hdu88's absurd μ of 80.93, z=4.17, though the most extreme value on the two leaderboards was at the bottom of Goko's).

My best guess at an explanation (if the isotropish parameters haven't changed) is that the malfunctioning matchmaking was to blame. But even that doesn't feel right.

I don't think I've ever been this highly ranked before, but really, this is now my new favorite thing about the MF client -- that I can actually make it to level 55. I think I'm going to retire from Dominion now :P

i don't praise myself very much at all when playing this, but after talking with others about general self-esteem stuff i figured it could be healthy to post something in here once in a while.

so this happened today:




as much as i've felt like shit for dropping back down to D in the league, i need to remind myself that my larger sample size has come this far after playing for less than a year.  that seems pretty crazy to me considering how long most of yall been playin~

The season 13 C1 group was entirely B-group-caliber players.  At least that's my opinion.  Maybe people on average are just getting better though?  Idk.  Also, it was very close; Horist went from first place to 5th place in his (her?) last match IIRC.

Unfortunately, I've been on a losing streak with Dominion online and dropped back below 4200, so I have nothing to brag about in that sense.

However, I do want to brag about the fact that I've been updating the Wiki. So far, I've included small strategy synopses on Amulet, Caravan Guard, Dungeon, Gear, Guide, Distant Lands, Ratcatcher, Raze and the Page line, and I also added the existing strategy article from Coin of the Realm. I hope to visit all Adventures pages before the release of Empires, just so there will be no more Adventures pages that incorrectly say There is no strategy article for [...] yet, as Adventures is the newest expansion anymore. :)

I know the true skill rating system implemented in the gokosalvager leaderboard is less volatile and therefore better, but i wanted to brag about making it into the top10 for once anyway :P

I can't get above stupid 3500. I'm way better than 3500. I've done way better than 3500.

Why would you mind about goko Pro? If you want to care about a leaderboard, I suggest you care about one that doesn't swing that bad and take away 50 of your points every day. :)

The devs gave me a special build that prevents my version from crashing, so I've been doing a lot better now.

I matched with some random online who asked whether I played with Qvist as the first thing, and who then said that he was going to lose very badly (he disconnected during the first game, so we never found out). Thanks to Qvist recording our match in the Dominion League, I am now a little Dominion-famous, apparently  ;D
