I’ll note this in the bug thread later as well, but wanted to add onto the Ranked issues that seem to be occuring. I will note, as of now, i do not have the issue of KI crashing at the MS logo screen. Playing from a console.
When i started KI (after playing a few games earlier in the afternoon on 11.30.17) the game notified me of a pending demotion from Killer to Gold for inactivity. To quote the screen, “RANKED LEAGUE RESETS IN 1 DAYS! You will be demoted from Killer to Gold if you don’t play at least one ranked match before the reset!”
Upon loading up into the Ranked menu, I was shown that i had not played any Ranked matches in the prior month and my record was 0-0. Sure, KI… It also noted that at around 9:30am EST that there was 1 minute left before the ranked reset in the upper right corner.
So i went ahead and played a ranked match, won it, and appropriately my record was 1-0.
I closed KI and reopened it, and went back to Ranked. This time, it showed i had been placed into Gold with a record of 0-0 with, interestingly, 1 minute left before the ranked reset.
So for curiosity’s sake, i went and checked the current ranked leaderboards. Since i’m now a Gold, i should have no presence on the leaderboards since they only track Killers. But i AM tracked on the leaderboards as a Killer. The one win i earned is there.
So KI has some kind of, i dunno, confusion about itself? Even when you requalify, i’m fairly certain that once you do that, the leaderboards stop tracking your progress as a Killer. I’ve currently got dual progress as both a Killer and a Gold. That, and even as i’m typing this at around 10:30am EST, the ranked menu is still saying that there is 1 minute left until the ranked reset. My guess is that from my experience, KI is partly trying to reset to the new month, but is enacting the inactivity rules at the same time? I dunno, i just play games, i’m no programmer…
This is reminding me of a similar glitch in KI regarding being Killer but dropped into Gold. @SoSRaGnArOk, @STORM179, i believe you guys either had it happen or know of it. But basically, the game could say that you were a Gold even though you were truly a Killer rank, but by just resetting the game and the Xbox, that seemed to clear up the issue. Something to that degree? If that’s the case, i probably locked myself into Gold by playing a match as a Gold, which isn’t the end of the world.
