epona1 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Looks like they forgot to take it out of practice mode... jellysundae, Aranel and GillyTook 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillyTook Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Who would EVER have thought they would forget something like that? Also, does anyone have a chart that says how many games you must play to get whatever rank? I know I found one last year. Somewhere. . .

jaydeed Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So cross. Played 3 games of YYB then realized none of them counted. It's not as if this is a new event; it should be easy to run. WhiteWolf and Luxina 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Judging by everyone's posts, maybe I should wait until sign-ups are closed before starting. @GillyTook- When you go to the homepage for your team, you will see a badge that says "Beginner" roughly one-third to halfway down the page. Click on the badge, and a "Tournament Ranking" box will pop up. From there, simply click on the level you want to get to, and it will show you how many games you need to play. I hope this helps.

It shows you on the colosseum home page now, if you click on your rank shield. I couldn't remember how to get to it last year, so it pleases me that it's hiding from someone else, too. 57 minutes ago, jaydeed said: So cross.

So I guess they messed up even more than we thought? I just don't understand what's going on at this point. Oh, and just read on the boards that SOTAC have joined Terror Mountain this year, and in doing so learned a neat though ultimately pointless trick, lol.

Rayd1978 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hrrrmmm... 730+ games for S rank... at 10 games a day, I'd need 73 days.... I doubt I'll have that long, even less if they've aren't starting on time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'm always very busy during the AC to the point where I can't do much else on that day after work, I still want to play as much as I can and help my team to victory.

You can also use this petpage, which, in addition to telling you the amount of games needed for each rank, will also tell you how many prize points come with each rank. 4 hours ago, jellysundae said: Oh, and just read on the boards that SOTAC have joined Terror Mountain this year. Ughh, really? I mean, I know "we" (as in, Terror Mountain) were bound to get stuck with them at some point, but I was really hoping they would just... stop? The whole "All Star Group" concept is so annoying. (Better than the cheater groups, but still.) charelan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously want everybody to know how good they are (while keeping the air of "mystery" by being a "Secret Order"...), and they probably think a lot of people actually like having them on their team. (I'm so glad that winning/losing the Cup only affects the shape of your trophy, and pretty much nothing else.) jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillyTook Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Aha. I think the pet page was what I used last year, and I didn't know about the shield trick. Thank you Edit: OH MY GOODNESS! If I wanted the max rank, I'd need to be playing thousands of the games daily. Are there people who actually do that??? Edit again: Points and trophies aside, does anyone know if there's a certain rank you need to get to to get the max "prize" like any special avatars or stamps or anything? epona1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wouldn't want to know how they function after all that intense playing I play 2 hours per day average .. never got All Star .. but got to Rank 18 Last year I had lots of time but actually never played before 6 pm ... too hot and I preferred to nap after work ...

GillyTook Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Ooh, all star two. That is a much better goal than quad all star. Like, half the daily games required sort of better goal. I think I'll try for that one. Nearly 5 hours of playing daily would potentially kill me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus carolinensis Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 After 60 games of Shootout Showdown, I remembered that you don't have to score all 5 goals for it to count. No wonder it was taking so much longer than I remembered :) Good luck everyone. Last year was the first time I left the beginner rank (reached rank 4 overall), and I'd like to get farther this year.

Rayd1978 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 ....how many games a day are you allowed to submit for rankings? I doubt I'll ever play that many, but just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
