0. Rating system changes last night 01/30/2009 10:08:09 AM PST
We made some adjustments to the rating system last night that are now in effect.
1. Personal Ratings will now always trend toward Team Ratings (instead of the internal matchmaking rating). This should eliminate the odd behavior players noticed of seeing their PR change in ways that seemed bizzare. It also eliminates the possibility that you can play every game with your team, yet be ineligible to get items when the team qualifies for them (or ineligible to receive full points).
2. You will now gain or lose around 12 points when winning or losing to teams of roughly equivalent matchmaking rating to your own team (previously this number was 8).
3. The rating scale has been extended to a range of 240 to about 2800 to more accurately reflect what was possible under the old system. This means that most players over 1500 will experience some slightly easier than expected rating gain as their team adjusts upward to the new scale.
4. Players with less than 1500 rating will still get the same number of points as players at 1500.

-Is hidden rating wiped on character transfer?
-What determines hidden rating besides win/loss? Resilience, damage, healing?
-What is the min/max amount of points able to be lost/won now?
-Is the TR/PR cap still 3000 with these changes?

Can anybody explain what this means?
It means, in this system, the absolute "worst" team should hover around 240 TR/PR and the "best" should be around 2800.

Hidden rating is transferred with your character. Just transferred 3 days ago and seeing the same results I was on cho'gall.
