Board Game Arena

Hello,

I suggest giving a minimum of 1 ELO point for each win (and maybe a second one if missions are activated)
I have achieved 4 wins, but BGA still shows me 0 wins.
It's very frustrating to get a win and not be awarded any ELO points
Why are wins not counted ?

Thanks however for that challenging solo game

Are you playing in training mode? Those wins/losses don't count. There may be other oddities surrounding the solo portion of this, too.

The Elo system is fixed -- it can't be changed by individual games. Everything you're describing is how the site works. The game's code has no influence over it.

No, I don't play on training mode.

I'm pretty sure cooperative and solo-only games have a custom per-game fake elo system. So yes, it can be changed for individual games. But I'm not a developer and you are, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

I believe you're mistaken. Individual game developers have absolutely zero influence over BGA's elo system, other than reporting a win/loss.

I've developed dozens of BGA games. If I'm wrong (it happens!) just point me to what in the game's code can be changed.

Maybe this? https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Game_ ... p_Elo_Mode

If you can, check the source of Hanabi, The Crew, For Northwood, Bandido, or The Gang. They definitely have different behavior.

Ah, good find! I was wrong -- there's a limited way to provide elo ranges for different difficulty levels.

This is different than what the OP is asking, but still very interesting. It's the first I've seen any way for the game developer to provide any elo context.

Actually, what the OP is asking seems to be already the case. The OP has won 5 times and has an elo score of 5. Another thing is the victory count, whis is different depending on where you look.

I would add a precision, the 5 points I won were not on the 5 victory. That's why I said it was sometimes frustrating

Here you have the list: https://boardgamearena.com/gamestats?pl ... finished=0

Which games do you think were counted wrong? I guess that would help Kayvon if there's anything wrong.
