Update 28-2-2011: To make the points ladder more attractive, we again increased the points given to high level players when playing against lower level players, and decreased the amount of points lost when loosing against lower level players.

Update 27-2-2011: Another update was done so that higher players loose even less experience and increase more experience when playing against lower level players in the points ladder. Also the match-up system was increased by 15 seconds in order to increase the chance of good match-ups.

Some significant changes to the War of Ninja match-up system have been made. We’ve created a global match-up system that will be able to match-up players from different game types. This means that players who are playing the ladder can now also be matched with players who are playing mission games.

As a result, it should become much easier to find opponents in both of the ladders, which sometimes could be difficult with the previous system.

We’ve also implemented a new system to determine your skill, so you should always be matched with players of a similar skill level, even if you start laddering with only a few characters unlocked. This will also influence the number of points you gain or lose in the points ladder.
