They fixed the ladders so those who deserve it can be GM now (goodluck to those guys!), but I've noticed another ladder bug! Thankfully this one is harmless. After a game, no matter if I win or lose I'm apparently Diamond rank 98. Now yes, I am in diamond....but I sure as hell aren't 98, I'm 56.

I've also noticed ALL of my opponents are gold....when just before they were all plat/low diamond. What the hell happened? I sure hope I don't get demoted because I've been losing all night to 3rax (can't hold it with a 1gate FE, I think I need to go back to 2gate robo...and start forcefielding BEHING the army and stop cutting my bloody zealots off).

Anyone else noticing something similar?

[Zeion]

lol i did... i was plat rank 56... after wining a match i was at rank 100.. lol i almost flipped!

[Strafe]

same same went from 20GM to 189 after winning, I was like wuuut. But it's still properly displayed on the ladder.

Bnet 2.0 is craaap!^^

Definitely needs a fix, the damn sound is super annoying. I'm also getting rank 89 showing every time I finish a game, even though I'm 3 or 4.

Also did it actually fix the promotion system? Has anyone been promoted yet? I'm versing master leaguers every game and winning about 60-70% but still no promotion... maybe it's still broken?

I had that rank problem once as well, i was rank 2 plat and i lost one game and suddenly went to rank 100 which made me almost **** my pants.

The promotion system has fixed for me now, i've gotten promoted to diamond and now im vsing masters or high diamonds. Before i got promoted, i was always vsing mid-high diamonds or high plats and winning around 70-80percent. So i think that patch 1.3.4 fixed the GM ladder page and promotions but they have a little problem which isnt really a big deal. Your rank is still displayed properly in the ladders page.

[|Erasmus|]

Yep... After you beat me on ladder it said i was rank 100 instead of 2 in gold. :/

I was placed against mostly high plats and a few diamonds tonight, so it may not be that you are close to getting demoted...

[Meatex]

i heard ladders still locked ~.~;
and yeah blizzard never gets a patch right
Have you noticed every patch creates a new problem either big one for a minority or minor one for everyone

Yep, that's programming for you... On the upside, you can just play the game and not worry about the damn ladder rank because it's probably wrong ^_^

[Makra]

facepalm @ blizzard -__-

[souljah]

what did 1.3.4 do? make me unable to play on NA

[|Erasmus|]

Is that still not working?

I assumed you couldn't play last night because your client was patched and the NA server had not gotten the patch yet... :/

[Daboo]

Na works, played a few custom games in the morning with after the patch.

Why?
Because people should have been promoted to plat but it's been locked for a while?

I'm still sticking to my method of smurf checking. So if there is lots of people who were suppose to be promoted but have not, and has a skill level higher than BSG players, they would still be DQed. So this is not a time to take advantage of the issue at hand.

[Xeen]

Er, if you can DQ people who are legitimately still in gold, but are 'too good' to be gold, where do you draw the line altogether? What about people who practice custom and don't ladder as much, or people who've had unlucky streaks? What about players practicing hard for BSG that aren't promoted but have improved over what you consider the 'gold line'?

I thought this tourney was meant for players who are still in X division, but still a test of 'who's best in that area', not 'who's best but not too good in that area'.

I wouldn't like to DQ people as well, but its a fact that there will be people smurfing in BSG to get the prize or just to bully the weaker players. Therefore we have to come up with a way to stop smurfers. If they were legitimately in gold, then they wouldn't be playing as a high plat or diamond player would they? If they practice custom games, then when they are good enough, its time for them to be promoted, no? We decide who gets DQed by watching the replays and having multiple people agreeing that the player is far beyond BSG level, and that he is a smurf. Thats where we draw the line.

pardon me but that would be like saying you dont deserve to be the bsg champion because ur the best in gold but blizz hasnt deemed it fit to promote u. let these seemingly plat level ppl play but award the prize to someone else other than those who are good enough for plat. just my 2cents.

[cruxis]

Because there's smurfers.

[nirvAnA]

i think BakaInu means more of high plat / diamond calibre which is clearly leagues above his displayed ranking rather then just plat or best in gold. alot of the time the smurfers who were caught disparity in actual ladder ranking and gameplay is not even close, we have had silver and bronzes playing like diamonds and that surely is way too suspicious.

we have to draw the line somewhere and although that might end up affecting an extreme minority of "legitmate" players (so far nearly all those caught have admitted being smurfs) it is a necessary cost to protect the majority of our BSG playes who just want to have fun in a "fair" competitive environment or people will just keep bullying/grieving the BSGs.

With that being said, if there's a better way to detect smurfs or if anyone has suggestions i'm sure BakaInu & Zergtastic would be more than happy to listen to them and try them out.

Also, somehow this 1.34 patch thread got derailed! Might have to move these posts to the smurf topic for continued discussion.

[PantlessPete]

So, back on topic, this is what 1.3.4 has done!

I'm glad the fungal growth was a bug and they're going to fix it...nothing annoyed me more than losing all my probes on the lowground base of Xel'Naga Caverns without any warning at all!

[duanloves]

After the patch, i keep getting matched with platinum to master level players and getting pwned by them
Very demoralizing =(

[Wawa]

I think the patch fixed the replays.

There was a point between patches where the names of the players don't show up at the end of the game when they leave.
