Citizens,
We wanted to let you know ahead of time that from Tuesday 11th August, Ranked War matchmaking will use a new ranking system to pair factions, and how faction ranks are calculated is changing alongside it. The aim is fairer matchups, with fewer wars that are one-sided from the start.
Matches will be based on your faction's rating, built from your stats and recent war performance, rather than roster stats alone.
Your rank will be recalculated to reflect that rating. If your rating has drifted a long way from your current rank, for example after a big change to your roster, this may be corrected before your next match rather than over several wars.
The old faction lock and rank decay system are being removed. In their place, if your faction doesn't enlist for 6 consecutive weeks, you will lose your current rank. Enlisting again will place you back at the rank your current rating supports, with no reduction to rewards.
Nothing else about how Ranked Wars work is changing.
We'll share full details at the time of release, and we're looking forward to your feedback as we continue to refine the system with the community.
Thanks.
