Welcome to Season 1 of Return of Reckoning's Ranked Scenarios!

[Ranked Scenarios]

Note from the Devs
Return of Reckoning has always had a strong and resilient six-versus-six community. These matchups were initially arranged by players in the lakes. Later, 6v6 scenarios were added to facilitate making matches easier.
These matches have been extremely exciting to watch. Metagames formed around bringing the best six-man team you can put together, friendships were created that would last many years.
Many developers that have worked on balance on Return of Reckoning, past and present, have looked to the 6v6 community for their incredible wisdom and game knowledge.
Seeing tournaments like Bitterbowl and others have been a huge inspiration to us in developing ranked scenarios.

Today, we'd like to announce that Season 1 has started. We hope it was worth the wait!

[Ranked Scenario Overview]

Ranked Scenarios are a 6v6 deathmatch engagements in a variety of maps for players who are level 40 and above.
- You can queue for Ranked Scenarios in two ways: Ranked (Solo), and Ranked (Premade*).
Solo:
- This mode can only be queued up by yourself.
- You can still queue for it in a party, but you must not queue as a group. You cannot queue for this scenario while in a Warband.
- A strict 2-2-2 (Tank, Healer, DPS) composition is enforced here.
- There are no trainers within the ranked solo scenarios. You must queue with the spec you are expecting to play in the match.
- Certain archetypes are unable to change gear while they are queued up within a ranked solo scenario queue. They are additionally restricted from changing gear during the match.
- The matchmaker will match an equal amount of ranged DPS with the enemy's number of ranged DPS. For example, if two melee players are queued on one faction and two ranged players are queued on the opposite faction, the matchmaker will not generate a match between these players.

Premade:
- This mode can only be queued up when you are in a party of 6.
- No restrictions apply to group composition, tactic loadout, or gear loadout. You may additionally respec within these matches.
- There are trainers so you may adapt to your enemy team's composition within these matches.
- There is minimal matchmaking done within this queue.

-You may only queue for Ranked scenarios if you have an item level of 45 or higher in each of your armor slots, including the Belt slot.
-Each kill is worth 50 points. The scenario ends when 500 points are earned by each team.
-A flag is present in the center of all 6v6 maps. The flag has a 50 second capture time and is not intended as the primary win condition. Instead, its presence is to end the match in case the enemy team gives up.
-A notification is displayed in text and sound to everyone in the match upon interacting with the flag. This is to avoid ninja capping as we saw happen in pre-season.

*NOTE: Premade Ranked is currently disabled to prevent abusing the lack of participants. We have a solution in the works and will enable Premade Ranked Scenarios when the solution is implemented.


[Ranked Scenario Seasons]
-A ranked scenario season will last a varying length of time each time one is announced. For Season 1, the length will be 6 weeks.
-As you play games, you will obtain a matchmaking rating. This rating is unique to both queue types and is used to track your performance within matches. Your performance in Solo will have no bearing on your Premade rating and vice versa.
-Matchmaking rating will additionally be used to pair players together of similar matchmaking rating in the Solo queue type.
-The longer time elapses without a queue pop, the more matchmaking is expanded for that player to additional ranges.
-At the start of a season, your matchmaking rating is completely reset to the default value, 1500, and everyone must re-obtain their rating. If a player does not have a matchmaking rating, they are assumed to have 1500.

[Ranked Scenario Rewards]
-A new emblem currency has been introduced for Ranked Scenario game modes: Victorious Emblems.
-Winning a match will result in a gain of 20 emblems at maximum. Losses will result in a maximum of 5. The amount rewarded is based on your match participation and the length of the match.
-Every Monday, you will receive between 1 and 750 tokens depending on your matchmaking rating at the end of the week, and number of games played for that week as long as you have played 5 games per week.
-Ranked has a significantly higher Renown/XP gain than normal scenarios. XP can be used to level your guilds even at 40.
-Victorious Emblems are used to purchase unique gear during a season.
-Vendors have been added to the War Quarter in Altdorf for Order, and to The Undercroft in The Inevitable City.
-In order to qualify for the vendors, you must have 60 Games Played for the CURRENT season. If you have the currency, but not the match requirement for the currently active season you will receive an error message telling you how many more games you need to play to be able to qualify.
-If there is no currently active season, you will be unable to purchase rewards. Please make sure to purchase rewards by the end of the season.
-The price of the gear is dependent on your current matchmaking rating at the time of using the vendor. As you progress through the season you may see the merchant prices fluxuate. The prices may seem high at first, but remember, you need 60 matches to be able to qualify for rewards and can always improve your rating.

hate this, proc and look gone from my point of view

Overlord and Imperator procs have been removed. These are simply far too strong for a 2pc bonus and were the primary reason the set was removed from vendors.
- Overlord now grants 61 Wounds as a 2pc bonus
- Imperator now grants 61 Initiative as a 2pc bonus
- These sets have been added back to their vendors at reduced price

Well there is the Invader fix, very cool and thanks Devs. ( I really like defending the zone from a fort you get x4 invaders)
The city will provide only Invaders until you get the full set is great as well.

Totally agreed with blasting potions (still used to massive lagfest...) for napalm/mist is a indirect nerf for engi/magus.

Nice patch and awesome work.
Thx for the effort
