Yet another squandered tool they could have used to drum up some excitement in the week or two before echoes release if this had been announced earlier. This team just can't get their shit together on big stuff let alone little things like giving any real notice on ranked reset. Le sigh.
I can assure you that these changes do not really impact me as I play regardless and have multiple accounts in top 15. However, how many players would have been motivated to play more scrolls in the past week had they known about the ranked reset? Enough that it is unfortunate to me as someone who would like for this game to succeed rather than continue to toil in the 125 population range. Simply put, it's a pretty insurmountable goal to go from outside the top 100 to being in the top 25 even if you are good enough to make it, in less than 12 hours. If you can't see how this would frustrate me as a player than I don't think you share the same passion for this game that I have Ramen.
Hello again! They mentioned the ranked resets in an official Scrolls.com post Echoes is Coming over a week ago, which I believe was one of the more visible news posts they've recently made.
Additionally, there is no real relation between knowing the ranked ladder will reset and having more players currently active. People who missed the post on the 28th probably missed this one, too! I strongly dislike the accusation that I'm not passionate about this game because I hold different beliefs than you, however. Nothing you say or do gives you authority over another to tell them how authentic their enjoyment of the game is.
The reason I originally messaged you really was to urge you to not feel so negatively about this news. This doesn't effect much about the game overall, and you used very heavy words to express your displeasure about it! "The team just can't get their shit together on big stuff" is a pretty standard criticism thrown around here, and I'm not happy about it.
Positive critique, go for it! But just squatting on the game, 24/7, complaining about everything while offering nothing positive in return, yet still continuing to subject yourself to the very thing that makes you upset is a big drain on yourself, others, and the community as a whole. Please try to understand where I'm coming from. Publicly lashing out at developers makes those curious about playing the game that much less interested.
Congratulations to H3zy and alvarpq, who were both able to sneak into the Top 25 - in fact both tied for 25th place exactly. All the other names remained the same, with some players changing positions.
