Introducing: Prestige Ranks
Today we'd like to introduce you to the first of the major changes in the upcoming release of Catan Universe 1.8.0.
Starting with 1.8.0 Prestige Ranks will replace the ELO Number as the most important visible indicator for a player's skill level.
The leaderboard will get divided into 6 different Prestige Ranks starting from Bronze to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and to top it all of Grandmaster!
In order to determine your initial Prestige Rank, we will take your ELO of the day of the update as well as 5 additional placement matches.
Our main goal with this change is to take the edge of if a single game goes badly.
Please also keep in mind that we are making big changes under the hood that should drastically reduce the amount of games dropped due connections issues so loosing a game because of that should be a thing of the past.
We are eager to hear your feedback and we'll see you on the island!
