To the Devs, My honest opinion

[Kerovan]

I realize I am old and I dont like change however I am going to be honest here.

Getting -1 stars for getting second place really makes me not want to play anymore... your new stars system needs some work.

I don't get the new ranking system neither. I have experienced a +4 stars for being last (!!??!) and now (having a higher score) a -1 star for being second....

Hey Kerovan and stefaan64be, thank you for the feedback!

The new system emphasises your current rank and that of your opponents. Although this can seem strange in some situations, it is intended to be more punishing and, at the same time, more rewarding.

For example, if you are a bronze player against four diamonds, you are very much expected to place last, and therefore won't lose many stars if you do, but will get a lot more stars the higher you're placed.

Getting -1 stars for second place is possible in a situation where you're a diamond player, against four easy bots, for example. You're expected to win that game with ease, so not doing so would have that result.

There's also the case of a person resigning from a game. If they do, they're not counted in the final ranking. Let's say we have three players and one resigns. Because of the resigned player, you'll still get the stars for 2nd place, even if you're in last place in the scoring. That would explain getting +4 stars when placing last, for example.

However, it is a new system, and if you believe there were miscalculations or strange occurrences, please reach out to our Support Team at [e-mail] with more details about the game and a screenshot of the final scores so we can investigate the situation further.

Thank you!
