This is something I've been working on for a couple of hours now... but I had the idea for it a few nights ago when I was doing some 1v1's on the Halo 4 ladder. Although a pure ladder can't be possible (yet), because we can't do cross server duels, cross faction duels are possible. So, we can do leader boards for each server. And I'll be doing top 10 world wide based on win ratio in combination with most duels completed. (the exact math is a secret, unless you know math then you can figure out.

Here is a screenshot of my progress. I think that I can have it done by March 1st (I have a real life too!!!) I can have it done a little faster if I could find volunteers that know php and javascript. (ill do the html and css all on my own ;P)

*UPDATE* DROPPED EMPHASIS ON 1v1's

So we will know the best 10 hybrid shadows/sins in the world? Awesome.

1v1 is flawed in any mmo unless you are dueling a mirror. I would slaughter my marauder with my scoundrel. I would destroy my marauder with a sniper. I would beat the sniper with a scoundrel and I would beat all of the above as a hybrid sin/shadow.

Not saying you are stupidly overpowered or anything, just saying that a 1v1 ranking is pointless.

Now if you want to do the same thing with 3 v 3? That might be more interesting. Limit it to 1 tank (guard) and one healer. Could be fun.

well like i said the 1v1 is a start... besides i bet there are some pretty crafty players out there who aren't shadows.

I have beat my share of shadows as annihilation/watchman. Much harder to do now then it was before, but it is still possible. Can still do it on a scoundrel/op as well. If you make one mistake though, GG.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a cool idea. I just think it would be a lot more fun with 3 v 3.

1v1 ladder is fine when it's same class vs same class.

It will be good for different classes unless it gives some reasonable prizes to leaders. Ladder would mean that you duel against players with equal ladder rating.

That would be really fun but I dont see that happening.

commies!

ok ill get the 3v3 thing going asap, but i'm focused on the 1v1 stuff. mainly because i've got a lot of the database stuff done for it. ill try to roll out 3v3s on march 1st (the same time i'll roll out 1v1's.) you should be able to create teams and challenge other teams.

Pretty much this.

Update*

today I implemented a 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 system... it was actually pretty easy, the most difficult part will be styling the layout interface (which if you know about web development, it's actually quite simple). I also implemented an individual rating system in conjunction with a team system.

So, that means a single player will have an overall score, and a score for each ladder they participate in.

I'll be doing open testing beginning Feb 20 (I'm pretty sure I'll make the date) please send me a private message if you're interested in trying this out.

*UPDATE*

So this morning I spent some time working player profiles. You'll be able to search for a registered user by their in-game toon as long as they are registered at the site (free). a couple of screen shots. one is a bounty hunter logged in, the other a sage. the images are not final, neither is the layout. i just did a quick google search for the appropriate images.

Seems to me you found a W3 certificate in your burrito and now you're eager to use your wd skills... lolz just teasing. Either way, it's cool but as others suggested, drop the 1vs1 or at the least don't try to push that as the main event!

Difficult but simple, got it. Wait.... whut?

Have had a few 1v1 tournaments on shadowlands. Pretty impressed by the organization of this latest one.

Obviously, those who can drop out of combat have a big advantage. So there's an extra bonus for the non-stealther that makes it the farthest.
