Player Rank Density In Alpha.

No surprise there.
The 2,000 a day is the casual play rate (90% of any healthy game player base is casual). Basically just doing the Daily mission and a few games afterwords.
Anyone who made it to Colonel either been playing insanely actively and getting lots of EXP per day for a long time or farmed it. At say 10,000 EXP a day, it take a fifth of that time or just over a year in a half.
I use to earn 50k or more every day, that was only casual farming, some days i earned 200k + (i did it a lot in the summer) -

I'm talking about just playing the game against other players, not farming.
Farming is all about getting the most amount of EXP in the shortest amount of time, one would easily get 6-10 times more EXP in the same amount of time as a player that just plays regularly against other players.
Average game for a farmer lasts 4 minutes and gets them the Max EXP of 1100.
Average game for a normal player last 8-10 minutes and gets them 150-300 EXP depending on how well they did. (Exp is based of kills and and multikills, the multikills tho are glitched right now tho).
A farmer will get 3-5 times the EXP in half the time per game.
But if we assume that the casual EXP rate is higher then 2000 EXP a day, then that makes the lack of Second LT+ even more jarring. The main point of all this is to find out why Second LT+ are so rare. -

Every farm room i did lasted 2 minutes max, and days i didn't farm i earned at least 15k, kinda glad i stopped playing this game so much, i got a lot more free time now -

15k a day? Wow.
I usually only get 2k-4k a day and I play for 3-5 hours average. -

I do indeed, it much less now then it used to be.
(3 months ago is was around 40 times a day, now its at about 10).
My last 3 hour marathon of Pubbing TDM games only got me 5k Exp. I usually play GM.

Hmm I like the empirical data especially relating the high ping gamers disadvantage in ranking up as fast as the low ping gamers of the same rank. Logic would say that a ping would naturally affect ones kdr and subsequently the amount of exp gained. Also lower pings would be attributed with taking the game a bit more seriously and perhaps purchasing exp gaining items. I have maxed out my exp plus items at about 120 percent. I think for this reason after a marathon I usually acquire over 10k easily as I max out at 800 most games.

Possible theory.
Doubt it affect it this drastically tho.
Anyways, when I collect the next patch at around the 25th-29th for comparison.
Should I make a new thread with the data or post it here?
Favoring a new thread because of the sheer amount of the info dump this one was. -

I feel bad for you
And do you use exp + cause i had 145% + always

lol, Today is far more easy to find someone who is colonel, until that all of the TOP 100 are brigadier general.
A short time ago we saw hardly anyone even in Major.
The top 100 is based off of total experience, and nearly everyone higher then Major reached there by farming. Very few got there the slow way. A dedicated farmer can get 200,000+ EXP a day, reaching Major in 11 days of farming. -

Yes, getting a ton of EXP isn't hard if you have 6 or so players to farm off of.
with the right EXP items one can triple the EXP rate.
To busy right now to do the recap of the information right now. It is finals week for this quarter and I'm to busy studying to give 4-6 hours to this right now. -
Recap is finished.

Made a new thread for it because the first post is maxed on images and didn't feel like adding it to the end in this one.
Edit:
Part 2 and 3 were added to the end of the first post.'Density wrote:[;2839203']still waiting for da one with pings
The screenshots couldn't be shown because of a stupid 10 image max limit, but I posted the links to them if you want to see them. -
if i may point out the obvious.
well for 1 assuming u werent just taking random screenshots all the time, in the games u do better in its more likely the players in the rm were lower rank right?
not my big point though.
delta is usually filled pretty well and any low pinger wouldnt last a single game doing badly or not and most of them r legit high pingers, and u can tell cuz they play worse then in alpha. so all the high pingers go to delta i guess? -
There are so many majors in alpha 7, this it's fake
The screen shots were taken randomly in all the channels in Alpha.
I look for a 15/16 room, join it, go ingame, take a screen shot, leave game, and repeat looking for a different game room. If you review the screen shots you'll see that my scores are all 0/0. After 2-3 rooms screened a channel I switch to a different channel.if i may point out the obvious.

I didn't do Delta, this just Alpha. And yes, High pingers over took Delta and kick most low pings on site. -
There is no causal link between lower ranks and higher pings, or the other way around.
Not there is not, your right.
There is solid proof it's called in game proof:p
As for the number of players registered on CF check here.
As you'll know each CF account has a forum account associated with it, with that said and as you'll see from the link there are 30 accounts per page and there are 28661 pages.
