Iteration 2

Team Battle Changes

We are testing a revamped Team Battle mode that allows permanent teams. This means that a group of 4-12 players can play together on a regular basis, with their own team name and logo. In addition, these teams will be able to take part in Ranked Battles, which will be held between these permanent teams.

In standard Team Battles, the teams are balanced on the basis of individual tankers' rankings. In Ranked Battles, opposing teams will be chosen on the basis of their team ranking (calculated by the team's success in Ranked Battles), regardless of the statistics of individual tankers.

In Ranked Battles, players will know the map before the battle starts, and whether they are attacking or defending. During the 30 seconds before the start of the battle, players will be able to choose their tanks. If the list of tanks has not been finalised within the 30 seconds, the team goes into battle with the tanks from their battle room.

Fighting in Ranked Battles will give teams a chance to appear on a global Team Battle leaderboard. The leaderboard will be divided globally into six leagues, each with four divisions. Each division can have an unlimited number of groups. However, the maximum number of teams in a group is 50. (Click image to the right for a visual representation of the leaderboard.)

There will be a specific number of points needed in order to qualify for each division. To move from division to division, the team's points will have to either exceed the maximum limit, or be less than a certain number (currently thirty). However, it is impossible to be relegated from the lowest division.

The leaderboard will run on a season-to-season basis. When a new season starts, the ratings of all teams are reset. The results of the previous seasons will not affect the next.

Details and terminology may change as work continues in the lead-up to the final release of Update 9.7. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please enjoy trying this refreshed mode!
