Please fix the PvP leaderboards! It's been 3 mods now that they have been broken.

There are two pressing issues that really needs to fix and at this point it's just ridiculous that it's still not been addressed.

1. Ranking system

However you had the ranking system in Mod 5, please go back to that.
It was fair. You won, you went up. You lost, you went down.
None of this swapping out spots with other people on your team, or giving it up to someone who has just started, or losing it due to a disconnect from the server which I am going to address with the 2nd issue below.

Make it fair for those who play PvP on a regular basis so the results of the matches and games played reflect a natural logical ranking system.

How hard can this be to implement?

2. Timing out or game resets affecting win/loss records and leaderboard ranking

This impacts everything for everyone playing with someone who times out due to a server disconnect and it's really unfair.

If a player gets hosed out of a match because of a server error, their results should not be impacted on the win/loss record, not to mention it can cost them a spot if they were lucky to get to a high position on the leaderboard. It hasn't happened to me, but I have seen it happen to other players I run with.

When this happens players should be allowed to email Perfectworld and have those losses removed from their win/loss record, if it can be proven that they were given the loss due to a server disconnect.

Obviously this was put into place to prevent players from rage quitting in the middle of a match, but it unfairly punishes those who are disconnected because of an issue on the server end, or bad connection.

    No point fixing leaderboards on a game with no balance.

    Leaderboards in this game is a cancer. No one cares about the top ranked of the OP classes on page one (which is usually 50% rogues). Like the guy above me stated fix pvp first then we can talk about rankings based on skill.

    PvP needs a whole revamp imo, I mean, if you really want this mode to work you need to not only find a way to balance the classes, but also the maps, the game modes, now also the overloads and maybe even the rings.

    I mean, to balance the classes, pretty much all of the abilities and even some feats would need to have a different effect while flagged for PvP or shorter durations, the scoreboards should have a real impact, at least in queue, and they should work properly, the maps should be fixed (it's annoying af to run into a glitched potion, for example) also add some more maps if you are going to have only 1 game mode, every pvp mode is dom (even LoL has more maps and game modes), the drains and wards should be balanced, if not, why bother using a ward if it won't even protect you. Also when you leave because of connection errors it should allow you to join again, not insta-kick you and on top of that penalice you for "leaving".

    I honestly think this game wasn't planned to have a PvP mode, but they implemented it anyway. :neutral:
