Road to 1.0: One Leaderboard
One Overall rating per mode for every match, bots at fixed strengths, and free-for-all that runs its full ten minutes. Inside Washoi beta 11.
Update: Beta 10.1
Free-for-all has no score limit any more. Every match runs its full ten minutes, and the most frags at time-up wins. The 20-frag limit ended matches after a few minutes.
One Leaderboard: Overall
Beta 11 is a small release with one big idea: a single leaderboard. The leaderboard and Profile used to switch between Public and Private, two separate ladders, so a new player's bot games and their public games landed on different boards.
Now each mode has one board, Overall, which rates every eligible match: public or private, against people or bots. Public and Private ratings are still kept behind the scenes, and the whole match history was re-rated in order, so Overall goes back to the start.
Bots at Fixed Strengths
Bots used to be rated like players, and with few matches their ratings drifted anywhere: on the live data, Easy had climbed above Insane in Duel. Now each preset plays at a fixed strength:
| Preset | Rating |
|---|---|
| Easy | 16.7 |
| Medium | 25 |
| Hard | 33.3 |
| Insane | 41.7 |
Only people's ratings move, so beating Insane is worth far more than beating Easy. Bots keep their win and loss records, but no rating. And + Add bot now picks the preset nearest your Overall rating.
Native Client
- The Settings key over a match opened the settings behind the lobby's panel, so you saw the lobby instead. The settings now sit on top.
