Thank you for that. I think I have gained 4 or 5 points when winning from Bronze against high league players.jesslc wrote: ↑13 July 2023, 14:43 It's poorly worded - they really mean it's the same principle but in reverse with regards to winning against higher league players. So you get 4 points for beating a player of the league above you (can confirm this from my last Arena game), 5 point if you beat someone 2 leagues above you, etc.
I don't know about losing points though, sorry.
It implies for winning at N-3 there would be 0 points, N-4 would be -1 pointWhen you win a game in Arena mode, you gain Arena points. You gain 3 Arena points when beating an opponent from the same league, 2 points when beating an opponent from league N-1, 1 point for beating an opponent from league N-2, and so on (and the same for higher leagues).
When you lose a game, you lose Arena points. However, you cannot go below 0 points.
Yep, downside is large. I had my stars wiped out in Bronze thanks to bad losses and have simply stopped playing all Arena matches for good. It was a demoralizing experience of stupid rules. If I wanted to slog through long tedious grinds I'd go back to playing World of Warships.JohnnyCyclops wrote: ↑13 July 2023, 18:57 This from the FAQ could really do with a brush up!!
Apologies if this has been done before. I'm trying to get my head around the merits of playing wide variations in leagues. For players in higher leagues there may be limited upside benefit playing down too many leagues, and considerable downside in a loss.
I suppose you are in error because in the past, I have win with N-x guys several times and obtains no point because the level was too different.JohnnyCyclops wrote: ↑13 July 2023, 18:57 Win league N-3 = +1 (because I can't believe you'd actually get 0 points in the progression!)
Win league N-4 = +1
The ratchet does kick in every 10 points, once you lock into the next highest level - I suppose they could lock-in at 7 or even 3 like you say but 10 seems like a reasonable stretch challenge as requires stringing a few consecutive wins together. I've very limited experience, only been playing for two weeks. In Bronze the most I think you could lose is -3 to another Bronze player. Losing to a higher league player would see -2 vs Silver or -1 vs Gold (and higher?).mturton wrote: ↑14 July 2023, 00:07Yep, downside is large.

There needs to be a ratchet effect where losses cannot drop you below your most recent high, meaning that (for example) if you have three stars, win a game and gain four stars, a string of losses cannot drop you below three stars.
I too suppose I'm in error because I wasn't getting +6/7/8 when as a Bronze I beat Platinum/Diamond/Elite players. I hope someone who knows might add to the thread. I have seen +4 and +5 I think, but I'm now Diamond in the main game I'm currently playing so can't check that.menettm wrote: ↑14 July 2023, 12:31I suppose you are in error because in the past, I have win with N-x guys several times and obtains no point because the level was too different.JohnnyCyclops wrote: ↑13 July 2023, 18:57 Win league N-3 = +1 (because I can't believe you'd actually get 0 points in the progression!)
Win league N-4 = +1
So I have changed my parameters to have opposites which permits to win points...
