Anarchblah1 So, I've played 322 matches, spectated 606, only counting ZK
apparently my rank says I've played less than 30 hours
assuming that my spectating isn't counted, unlike the old time count did, that means that my matches have been less than 6 minutes on average
am I counting wrong, or is there some other reason I'm only 3 bars in rank?
ikinz, Sprung?
I guess it could actually be true that my matches are less than 6 minutes on average, but I feel like some of them aren't being counted
I'm wondering what is actually counted for it, what are the requirements?
it's not even clear that spectated matches aren't counted since the old server counted spectated matches in your ingame time
in matches that show up on the replay search with "Player Involved: Anarchblah1" and game length of at least 35 minutes I have 2478 minutes at least
I guess I'll just go make a forum post

TL;DR: I have at least 30 hours of gametime, not including spectator time or games under 35 minutes even, so why do I only have 3 bars for my rank?

Did the ranks change and the FAQ not get updated? Are some of my games not being counted?

The ranking system is a bit vague since it just says "user's ingame time" even though the old server counted spectating time with the /ingame command and this one clearly doesn't

If it doesn't count silly maps in the playtime then I'm going to be sad
EDIT: Apparently I wasn't counting many silly map games anyway, I still have 2000 minutes without them

Springiee has 0 playtime, so spectated matches aren't counted apparently, that still doesn't explain why some of my other matches aren't counted

Summary of replays checked:
All replays have me and another human player in the match
[Spoiler]
Judging by the number of bot matches, I'm guessing those aren't counted

Bars represent level, not ingame time. Ingame time is no longer even tracked.
Level is not directly tied to ingame time, but to XP.

You get no XP for spectating or games that didn't count.
You get very low XP for bot/chicken games.
For PvP games the amount depends on whether you won (=> more XP), how balanced was the match (your team had lower Elo => more XP) and playercount (more people => less XP!). Silly maps and modoptions don't influence XP gain.

Someone should update the FAQ:

quote:
4. How can I reach a new rank? How are they split?
Rank system is based on user's ingame time: ...

Although there are probably plenty of other things to update on the FAQ.

How are the ranks distributed now? What are the level requirements?

EDIT: Seems to just be a new rank for every 10 levels

The icon changes each 10 levels.
So 0-9 are one bar, 10-19 are two bars, etc. Levels 80 and above all use the same icon.
Here are the icons: [Spoiler]
