overall rank?

[GregHead]

I just played much.. is the rank based on grandtotal?

For the time being yes.

I remember from when this came up a while back someone said the problem with adding up the best ranks is that it causes too many additional queries to the DB. The most effcient way to update this is to add up all the numbers once and then just keep a running total. When they complete a song, change the total by (This Rank - Your Old Best Rank). Only if you beat your old highscore, that is.

For Kilgamayan, I'm ranked 9th, that's one of yur holes on the list of top 10... but I agree that it's not the best of representations of skill cuz I definitely know there's more than 8 ppl who're better than me...

Okay, I'll add you in.

Okay, this is the way rank SHOULD work....

Best Rank on a song is an indication of how good a player is at beating that one song compared to everyone else. So to come up with an indication of how good a player is at FFR compared to everyone else:

Add up the best rank on every song for a player.

The only real disadvantage is that a player won't be ranked very well until they've cleared every song. But you don't deserve a good ranking until you can clear every song, so the point is moot.

It's simple, fair, and i'm fairly sure it will be easy to implement. It's just addition.

I already suggested that wth. :'(

Whoever asked about Reach, he's 26th.

I proposed it months ago, so there. :P

8) Am I good?

41

[Dark_Mind]

I like my rank. It's pretty good when you compare it to the total amount of FFRers

[RobbyZero]

im 14th I was 10th

[alainbryden]

what's up, my high score on the updated picture is higher than the person in 4th, but I'm still in fifth. Why aren't the ranks changing?

[Origamikid]

ranks change daily.... as of now, I'm ranked 9th, but my grand total score is higher than 8th and 7th as of now... so I'm waiting for the ranks to b refreshed too... heh...

[dmleet7]

If it's based on average per song, I would be one of the highest ranks...

Unfortunately your rank will change whenever anyone gets a score higher than your best rank... another good reason to add up high scores in each level instead of ranks

it's been two days that I've been higher than 4 now, it even says so on my sig toy, but it still doesn't put me before him.

no, look at my sig........

[Origamikid]

actually... as of now I'm ahead =P... though it doens't really matter, you have more skill than I do regardless of rank... still waiting for them to update it...

just for my input, I think it should be based on the sum of a player's high scores for the songs... songs that have not been played yet coutn as zeroes... that would not only give a better representation of skill, but make a tie improbable, and encourage playing among the plethora of FFR songs as opposed to just one logn song over and over...

o yeah, and one more thing, it'd b nice is the rank also told u how many players there are in total... like... 9 / 254,328 or w/e the numbers may b...

[talisman]

just another random loser that no one knows about in the top 100....
