How does this new multiplayer system work? I was just in a game won all races and got no faults and lost 140 points how is this possible if you win everything and get no faults? Also my final time in this game was over 20 seconds faster than the person who finished in 2nd place.

The calculations are pretty complicated, as I tried to work out how they work from shifty's link in the update notes..... but my brain gave up when there were more greek letters than normal letters, let alone numbers...
I believe that the problem is with differential between ranks and your deviation score. Play against someone with a significantly lower ranking and you mathematically cannot do anything but go backwards if the player completes races. This would be fine if you could choose who you race against, but since you cannot, it is a bit problematic. My solution to this issue would be to modify the calculation to say that regardless of rank difference, you cannot lose ranking if you come 1st. If they could make ranking "hoppers", then people would run against closer rankings but I am pretty sure this wouldn't work given the relatively low numbers running at any time. The problem with the ranking system will be that a number 1 ranking could be lost by winning...... which is dumb.
BTW good to see you out and about iStriide (and all you other freakishly good triallist's on XB1).... Getting belted by all you capable riders is always ego deflating but great to watch...... (rocking my 1700's rating...... After 5 years you would think I would get better.....)
Hello everyone,
I would like to gather all the feedback about the ranking in one thread and discuss it there.
I will prepare an answer today and post it in this thread: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...-8-has-Arrived!
Please continue there.
Cheers,
It isn't common to lose points when you win.
I got some good winning series that reach me in the top 20 (ps4), but when I realised that my last win get me lose some points I stop play.
Now as I read other players also lose points when winning it is cleary a good deal to me to not play because I might get a higher place in the leaderboard just because of their unfortune.
I'm not encourraging people to do this but I think this is a bad side effect of the new ranking system.
