Ranked Season 7

Unleash your might and prepare for the ultimate test of combat prowess, for the Winds of Change stir once more!

We are happy to announce that Season 7 of Ranked 6v6 Scenarios will be starting as planned on the 29th of April, with the usual rewards and systems prepared as before. Get ready to battle yourself to the top of the leaderboard, either in Solo or Group Category and earn [Triumphant Insignias] that you can spend on various goodies, including unique mounts!

Battle your way to the top of the Leaderboards and participate in a Final Grand battle where the best players and the best groups can clash against each other in one Final Tournament, while being broadcasted by Realm Watch.
More information about the possibility of this closer to the end of the season.

Season 7 is currently set to end on 24th June.

We hope you will enjoy Season 7 of Return of Reckoning Ranked Scenarios.


Rewards & Leaderboard

Now let's talk quickly about rewards and how they are given out to players who participate in our Ranked Seasons.

Rewards will be given out separately for both the winners of Ranked Solo and Ranked Groups, as previously, and we have also made steps to give out rewards to players for the last seasons.


- The Ranked Vendors in the capital cities will have the Season 5, 6 and Season 7 Rewards added to them along with the next major patch we deploy soon!


So how are rewards calculated and given out?

At the end of the Season 7 you will receive [War Crests] based on your total ranking on the scoreboard, but also additional ones if you are among the top four players within your class.

The top players will receive additional [War Crests] based on their leaderboard placement at the end of the season:

#1: 1000 [War Crests]
#2: 950 [War Crests]
#3: 900 [War Crests]
#4: 850 [War Crests]
#5: 800 [War Crests]
#6: 750 [War Crests]
#7: 700 [War Crests]
#8: 650 [War Crests]
#9: 600[War Crests]
#10: 550 [War Crests]
#11: 500 [War Crests]
#12: 495 [War Crests]
#13: 490 [War Crests]
...
#100: 55 [War Crests]

The top players of each class will also receive additional [War Crests]:

#1: 1000 [War Crests]
#2: 750 [War Crests]
#3: 500 [War Crests]
#4: 250 [War Crests]

Matchmaking

There is one major change in the Ranked Matchmaking of Season 7, as a result of the recent Balance Updates you can read about in our previous Changelogs. Since both Black Orcs and Swordmasters now possess a single target Punt ability, they no longer have special rules attached to their matchmaking.

Matchmaking Changes for Ranked Season 7:

Image
- Black Orcs no longer have matchmaking limitations to be with a Swordmaster or another Black Orc on the same team.

Image
- Swordmasters no longer have matchmaking limitations to be with a Black Orc or another Swordmaster on the same team.

As we are currently in the middle of updates to Game Balance, there will be additional changes during the Season that will affect careers and their state on Return of Reckoning.

Weekly Ranked Warfront

The Weekly Ranked Warfront Event will also become more active and easier to complete with with the beginning of the new Season, so we encourage everyone to try to complete these Tome Events for bonus rewards you can earn in this content of Return of Reckoning.

Earn additional [Triumphant Insignias] this way, along with a bonus source of [War Crests] that you can spend on anything you like, and have faster progression.


You can access the Weekly Ranked Warfront in your Tome of Knowledge or the Ranked Leaderboards Menu:

If you have any further questions regarding Ranked Game Mode or this Announcement, feel free to create a Forum Post about it or ask us or the community live on the Official Return of Reckoning Discord Server.

That is all for our Season 7 Ranked announcement!

Hope you will all have fun participating in Ranked and we look forward to watching you all compete for the top of the leaderboards in Season 7.

WAAAGH!

How come you’re releasing a new season before balance changes? Would be strange with balance changes mid season. Or is the balance changes so far away that season will end before?
