I'm almost done with a program to make the whole process of reporting the rankings easier, well for me atleast. I will release it tomorrow after some more testing, and research.

I know the GUI sucks, lol.

Hmm Well its near holidays are servers should pick up soon

Since GameTracker is borked.. maybe we should use the GameMonitor rankings for a while. They seem more accurate than GT, at least for now.

Gametrackers rank of Dust 2 seems right as it was 6 or so before the crash. Plus the ranks are still updating so they're almost to where they were before the crash.

 

[RedDragonKnight]

Since GameTracker is borked..

Seeing as how game monitor shows office above italy and dust2 dm above highschool, when the reverse has been true in terms of actual server population, it would seem that game-monitor is even more broken. This is aside from the fact that GameTracker has almost already fixed itself at this point, as you can see by most server ranks climbing by normal numbers now, instead of thousands at a time.

 

[The Judge]

I just don't agree with their assessment of the rankings as of right now. Sure, they are getting there, I agree. I just don't see the current GT rankings as accurate as of right now. Even with d2 misplaced or italy and office swapped. I still think GM has a more accurate view of the rankings, as of today anyhow.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Gungame- Rank #939 (Up 111 spots)



With most of the servers dropping a bit, I can safely say that their rank has stabilized. You may not agree that they should be ranked in the thousands, but they are supposed to be or they would keep gaining rank.

 

[Yolobot]

I believe more people use GameTracker rather than GameMonitor. It is more useful to know the GameTracker rank, even if it's glitched, because that's what most people will judge our servers by.

 

[The Judge]

Well, I know I won't be giving much thought to these GT rankings. They just aren't accurate in my opinion. I will continue to keep an eye on GT, but for now, I will be making server decisions based off the GameMonitor reports. At least until the GT rankings are stabilized AND accurate.

 

[RedDragonKnight]

At least until the GT rankings are stabilized AND accurate.

They are definately stable, and when you compare the rankings to what they were prior to the corruption: Dust2 is roughly the same; italy is a a little bit behind, but it is still gaining rank now and was falling/stable in rank when GT broke; Office is ahead as it was increasing when GT broke; and dust2 dm and high school are both lower because they sit empty all day.

cs:go gun game is also higher ahead.

Really, the only logical argument you can make for anything being inaccurate now while not having an issue before, is saying dust 2 deathmatch/high school are too low. However, when you look at their population history, they've both lacked any substantial support outside of peak hours of the day. Really, the only reason dust2 dm is even that high, is because leadership tries to fill it. It's really the only server any leadership actively fills (outside of Ric and jail) since Rogue is no longer leadership.

Ya know, if leadership didn't make an attempt to fill these servers, none of them would still exist. It is standard when we bring up a new server to fill it as much as possible from the start. This is the way we did it with de_dust and Italy. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work, like with de_dust. It takes time to gauge that, and we are willing to give it time. It seems like leadership constatntly filling the italy server when we brought it up worked out just fine. So I really don't see what you are trying to say? Are you trying to say that we as leadership members, shouldn't try to fill it? I hope not because that would just be ludicrous. Anyhow, I have said more than is really needed for a thread like this. Keep up the good work on reporting the rankings.

I'll settle this. The backup they used was months and months old. I would know. I'm the person who had to re-add all of our servers to gametracker by hand. The backup they used was from before we ordered our new box. Since we had to re-add the servers, the rankings started from scratch in the 10,000's

I think its safe to say no matter what server tracking service you look at, our servers are not doing well in the rankings (Dust2 excluded).
Instead of spending your time going back and forth about which tracking host is more accurate, why don't you get out there and actually fill the servers? It doesn't matter how accurate the server ranking is, if it is such a high number that it means nothing.
We are averaging around 260 between our 6 servers ranks, and that is pathetic. And if it wasn't for our leadership spending hours upon hours on the servers filling them, that number would probably be over 300.
The rank does not matter to any outside players if its that high, and that is nothing to go bragging about. Maybe this is enough of a wake up call for server filling, but numbers are just numbers until they actually mean something. And in the world of CS:S servers, under 100 is what matters. And I do not see what is stopping us from getting there.
