"Why have my ratings changed!?"

I'm getting quite a few questions about changes to rating values, mostly in the form of "why have my ratings changed?"

The short answer is - ratings have changed because 0.8.6 did a big artillery reshuffle.

Basically, most of the high-tier arties got raised a level or two in 0.8.6, so for people who played these SPGs their average tier went up. And because all the ratings use average tier information (some directly, some less directly), the ratings change from that (most by quite small values).

I have already adjusted Performance Rating a bit to compensate for that (for example, I removed the "average tier adjustment" of +2 tiers for SPGs that was there). Still I will check later on if  more tweaks are needed.

For WN7 and ER I don't control these formulas so I will wait until their creators decide to change them (or decide to leave them as they are).

But in any case - these changes apply consistently to everyone, and I retro-fitted them to previous snapshots to avoid any strange "ratings jumps", so hopefully they don't cause much disruption.

P.S. Also, the biggest confusion is for servers where 0.8.6 is not applied yet, so they will see their t8 arties as t10 arties already in NoobMeter. Hopefully they get 0.8.6 soon and all is well again.

P.P.S. Creators of ER rating have declared they will not adjust the ER formula, but will adjust the way it is interpreted.

    I think the KD ratio is wrong.

    It looks like it's taking Kills divided by Survived, rather than Kills divided by Deaths.

      Hmmm...

      I checked on my account and it seems to match what I expect it to be ("destroyed / (battlesParticipated - battlesSurvived)").

      I also checked the code and that is what it calculates and it uses the same formula as above.

      Can you please provide examples using specific players where you think it is wrong?

      Is the total K/D wrong, or just the "interval" ("recent") ones?

    Looks like it's the interval, not the overall:

    http://i.imgur.com/5lkeHYy.png

    81 kills
    35 battles
    19 survived battles (54.29%)
    16 deaths
    5.06 Kills to Deaths

    8005 kills
    5409 battles
    1934 survived battles (35.77%)
    3473 deaths
    2.31 Kills to Deaths

    It also seems like there are some rounding errors or something else weird...

    Here's the whole thing:

    http://i.imgur.com/zW6xNs8.png

    For last 7 days
    368 kills
    201 battles
    86 survived battles (42.79%)
    115 deaths
    3.2 kills to deaths

    For 1000 battles

    1742 kills
    968 battles
    383 survived battles (39.57%)
    585 deaths
    2.98 kills to deaths


    As you can see, the KD is not quite right, but I am using the average kills and survived battles %s to back calculate what the kills and deaths would be... so maybe it's all just rounding errors. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the overall matches!

      Thanks for the examples. I think it is something rounding related.

      But in any case I rewrote the interval K/D rating calculation so hopefully it is more accurate now.

    Hi, do you mind checking something for me? My Korean in-game ID '제이Jay' isn't working through the noobmeter website (comes up as 'check spelling). I also couldn't log in through the Korean Wargaming OpenID, which makes me assume something is wrong with the account and not my spelling. Thanks

      I suspect Wargaming Korea has banned NoobMeter as a client :/. At least I get HTTP error 403 upon Korean requests.

      I will try to restart the server with a different IP and see if that helps.

    2. Jung Cho6 July 2013 at 22:15

      Hey, thanks a bunch! I've just searched my ID again and it seems to be working now.

      The server restart/different IP must have done it.

      Thanks!!

    It would be nice if on your profile page it would display any Top 30 lists your tank is on and a link to said list.

    It would be great if the ratings also considered if premium tanks/ shells were used.
    The performance of a player with regular shells destroying a tank with couple of hits is definitely better than somebody who 1 shotted the tank with premium shell.

    Off topic: you know that noobmeter doesn't work without the "www" prefix, right? It's good practice to use only one main domain but the site should redirect to the proper setting on its own. I prefer the setting without the "www" with "www" acting as an redirect but it's up to you to decide. Either way - currently only the www.noobmeter.com works (and "new.noobmeter" whatever that is)

    It's probably just a misclick in the configuration of the domain and should be easy to solve.

      That is because WG changed all your old T-50-2 battles to be under MT-25, so for NoobMeter they seem just appeared (as it had no MT-25 battles for you before).

    Sorry to request a support question here, but our clan changed its name a while back from LIA to FENRIR (FNRIR in WOT), can you reset it so that if someone searches for FENRIR on Noobmeter they can find us?

    LIA = OLD (Nov-2013) Gone
    FNRIR = NEW
