Moderators Lenne Posted December 5, 2012 Moderators Posted December 5, 2012 Wait. Whats YOUR Theory? +1 Triple,you can't be "disappointed" by people who are tired of trying to figure something out while the only thing you do is post a link to a youtube video. I think the forum would benefit Stickys for the Tranzit EE and the Ranking System so all discussions are centralised. A mod could start them and if someone cracks the systems and a lot of people agree with him he can make his own thread explaining how he came to those conclusions. It should also reduce the amount of threads with good information getting pushed down by new threads. You are right. It would help but some people would still post new threads about it. But if the ranking system was explained there would not be one of those threads.
Jeager1999 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 That's another reason that I made this Petition. Finally if we do get the info, no more "Finally Figured It Out" Threads. I hope Jimmy Z see's this. When's the First DLC to be released?
Moderators Lenne Posted December 5, 2012 Moderators Posted December 5, 2012 But another thing I'd like to say is that Jimmy won't say anything...even if every single member of this site signs this. But it is worth a try I guess. And nobody knows when the first dlc will be released.
Electric Jesus Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I belive this man got it right. The dude is way off...ranking is not simply KD. Oh hey it's slippery Jim. First Sportzhawk now this gai. Anyway, what's your theory then? I don't believe that these are entirely true. I do not have any theory about it though. That is the point of this thread! We don't know and have an infinite number of formulas to test. We all have literally no idea.
bloodfurn Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I love the mystery of Zombies, & it wouldn't be the same without it. But not telling us how to improve our rank is going to far.
Megaton A Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 But another thing I'd like to say is that Jimmy won't say anything...even if every single member of this site signs this. But it is worth a try I guess. And nobody knows when the first dlc will be released. I agree... I doubt they'll tell us anything. Hopefully I'm wrong. And Black Ops' "First Strike" DLC came out at the beginning of February... so I'm using that as a good timeframe for this one. Late Jan/early Feb, most likely.
Delta Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Forgot to earlier, but this is just too ridiculous. Signed. ~Delta Third corruption message last night...
Tridalo Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Part of me wants to know and the other part of me doesn't. However I would like to know why I constantly get rank corruption messages but my rank never drops or so it seems. *signs*
Blakwulf Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Am i the only one that doesn't think this is an issue? Adding a ranking system to zombies is cool and all, but it doesn't actually DO anything for you, other than the matchmaking. It's not like leveling up will give you access to new guns or an entirely new perk or anything. I'd like to know how it works too, but i don't think they're obliged to tell us.
FatedTitan Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Meh. It's a mystery. If some of you want to delve into it and find out exactly what causes everything, have it. But want my advice? Enjoy the game. Period. Who cares if you have shotguns. If you don't play for a day, they'll be gone. Just enjoy it. Want to know my theory? I got it straight from a JZ Tweet. Commitment. You want to rank up, be committed to zombies. Period. All this K/D and Windows Repaired and Round Number stuff is just grasping at straws. The answer is commitment. Plain and simple. You want to rank up? Be committed. https://twitter.com/ZielinskiJimmy/stat ... 9865874432
redbluesky Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I would much rather get a petition for the following: - Lobby leaderboards. - Bring back Private match. - Option to match make by average level and whether they have a headset. It seems like Treyarch really dropped the ball here. The leaderboards and ranking system is not of any use for the most part. Seriously, someone leads the downs board with zero downs? That makes no sense. I think beside a person's name should always be their average level. That's all I need.
redbluesky Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 My experience has been that customer match does not count toward the leaderboards. I will try tonight and see if I'm wrong. I know they have been buggy.
Saleenseven Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I'd like some solid hints. Right now, the fact that no-one knows what the ranking system even indicates means theres no point to even having one. so far: Bragging rights Something related to stats & activity
Triple Ex Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Seriously, someone leads the downs board with zero downs? That makes no sense. Downs are a bad thing that you don't want though... :? Of course the person with less is "leading". Also, I believe rank is supposed to replace lobby leaderboards as a far quicker (and cooler looking) way to see the other person's skill.(whatever the determining factors are) I mean, you could have been easily carried to round 40 going down after every round and have it go on a leaderboard. Other factors would have to go into it to decide how good you are.(again, unsure of what these factors are). Although I do agree more specialized search would be cool. Headset/no headset, similar rank, etc.
redbluesky Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Yes, custom match does not count toward leaderboards. I tried setting a limit on players in my party and then going to public match but that didnt work.

Headset/no headset, similar rank, etc. Yes, but if i have played 3 games by total downs will be less than someone who has played 300. It should be a ratio to round cleared in a game. They could show that symbol and still list the average rank. Average is a better indicator than high level.
DeadMike Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 As long as I can kill zombies, I'll be alright. But why have a leaderboard that No one understands? Signed.
waffles Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 maybe 3arc will release some more hints via richtofen's diary? i know i'm getting pretty sick of having to click through that same text every other time i start the game. seems like an ideal platform anyway.

way2g00d Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I like where you guys are going with these theories, but in light of several repeated topics being created every day just on this subject, I am going to ask you guys to reply on this thread ONLY listed below. viewtopic.php?f=100&t=26010 All other threads will be locked and listed in this page. Thanks for your cooperation.
