Very few people looks at what's going on in the unranked servers page. With only 250-400 players online, a server cannot afford being unranked, which at this time, means being empty.

Will it be possible to be Ranked when you use a mod?
If not, will Ranking be a mod killer?
What do you think of it?

Mods should be submitted to TWI, they will check it out, and if approved will be added to a "whitelist" of approved mods, which hopefully will not unrank the server.
Thats the way it worked in Ostfront, and hopefully that what TWI will do for HoS.

man this unlock/stats bulls*** really screwed the game up. Now most people might not try genuinely good mods, for fear that it wont be counted towards their next new shiny unlock.

I also fear that people won't want to play on unranked servers because they won't progress... So unless they are already lvl 99 and have all unlocks in all classes, I doubt they might be interested to play there. The day they will play on a ranked server again, they will realize that they didn't progress. Anyway having the servers sorted on two separate pages is already a huge impediment.

Don't get me wrong, the ranking system is extremely well made, one of the best out there. Nonetheless, it will definitely have (or already has?) a negative effect on the creativity of modders and the diversity of this game. Hopefully some mods will have ranking enabled...

Alright guys, thanks for your answers, good night!

I will eventually try to get my maps White Listed. While they are not white listed it will mostly be testing so that i can get them white listed :)

A real simple solution would be to stop having ranked and unranked tabs on the browser.. Its a death sentance to anything if it goes on the unranked tab simply because no one bothers looking in it..

If they were all simply listed together and people noticed new maps or better blances in the decription they would get used

I have to agree. I've come across most good mods in games by randomly joining the server. I will probably stick the ranked list simply becuse most people play there. I already unlocked every add on but the C96 full auto but ranked simply has the highest player count. :(
