I took the opportunity to make use of the confusion to design a different class system. This is because I want to achieve a better transparency across servers. It now is as follows;



The big difference is, that if you go to a different server, the class is still the same. In the old situation that didn't match at all with each other.

Because of this, I decided to also change the required points for each class. It now simply is class multiplied bij 100 points. So, it gets harder to reach class 2 (rb4/fxo); 200 points instead of 150 but once you are there it gets quite fast to 2+ (250) and 3(00), 4(00) etcetc.

Big exception is the MRT which now requires a lot more points. I compensated that by giving it a much lower experience requirement of only 200 on the S1 server.

* At some point I maybe decide to get rid of the whole point system anyway.

----
Now that every class means the same from server to server I can further work on my plan to improve LP ranking. I managed to get LP ranking working on multiple servers now, if you are on the demo server racing, you race in the same system as when you are racing on the S2 server. Because PRISM is now also active there, I could make the web chatlog also available for this server. If everything goes to plan I will extend it also to the S1 server (and so on and on).

I think almost nobody understands what I am doing but I will try to make it clearer in the upcoming weeks

Just today, I noticed someone came in to the server and have class 15 , and thought to myself that I only have class 6 , immediately thought that something Dave change, because more than class 6 not was impossible once

Today i saw problem with loosing point after every race
my brother haved Class 2+ and after few races He have now Class 2. What is wrong with points?

Who is your brother?

I think its not possible because class 2+ was 300 points and it now requires only 250 points. In fact he should be class 3 now.

Dominoice, and my friend Susz. Yesterday Dominoice must get 30 points to class2+ and today he must get 80 points to class 2+. Yesterday Susz must get 48 points to class 2 and today he must get 88 points to class 2. I check now my profile (pietja18) and yesterday i haved class 3 and today i have class 5 so my profile is ok

GT2 is lower class than FBM? I allways thought GT2 was more difficult to handle than FBM

But any plans to change SR requirements for car classes?

Yeah hmm.. !pi doesn't match !rank.. It seems.

Some database problem I guess ... I will try to fix it this night when servers are quiet again.


This is correct. Points requirement for class 2 increased with 50 points.


This is weird.

something is not right, now Dominoice is class 1 and point it disappeared from more than 200 to 113. Before the change he could use XRT.

Does it need change?

Yeah I noticed he has driven with FXO...

Like I said I will try to fix !pi when the servers are quiet again. Can't restart Airio at the busiest hour of the day. But he is not online anyway.

Most likely !rank says something completely different then !pi because it are two different databases but I can't check that when he isn't online.

Ok restarted (not really planned but a lot is failing today apparantly)... It didn't helped. I officially do not know what happened.

Seems that he have to achieve 80 points, sorry

Hmm, I think it is too easy to keep the rating up, which seems to make for some reckless driving at times. I was thinking maybe the severity of SR drops could increase with increasing class. In other words, as experience increases, so does the expectencies for safe driving.

Bad idea.

Majority of unclean driving that causes accidents is performed by unexperienced racers. So basically, it is the other way around than you describe Skagen.

I kind of agree with Skagen here - the inexperienced racers who cause big problems are the easy ones to spot & deal with. The experienced drivers who know very well what they are doing & should not be causing a problem to other drivers, but they still do, are the difficult ones to deal with. It would be better if the issues they caused were taken care of with the automatic system, if possible.
Still, the biggest problem with the auto rating system is that it doesn't know who is crashing & who is innocently being crashed into, and that is something out of out hands for now.

I'm not saying I'm unhappy with the way things happen, btw.

Yes I agree with that, I think that skagen and kiyo have right
,but there is no substitute mode manual , or raports

Exactly. Untill then, it is no use.

Depends entirely on how it is implemented. Below is a diagram with 3 examples. Just multiply the current SR drop with the value at the racers current class. The orange example even makes the SR drop less severe for racers in classes less than 8:

Me neither, but I allways think it's interesting to investigate ways to improve the status quo.

My brother "Dominoice" still have problem. He driving all the time and he is not earning any point even if he finish on 2 or 3 place. This change on pointracking degraded him from Class 2+ to Class 1 and he can't earn point now

If I check the logs he is either;

in pits
going to pits
leaving pits
standing still on the track
getting automatically kicked for any of above

Does he know this are racing servers? Show me a replay where he actually is at the start of a race and finishes it also.
