Subject: 25 consecutive wins on new account = not a single level up.....

Champlain college = win.

Made a new account with some friends and have been going in Team Slayer as a group of 4. I can see why it would take more wins in a row than usual if I'm going in as a team, but 25 wins in a row with no level up? (and a near perfect record - 109 games played, 102 exp). Why is it that bungie punishes you for going in as teams so severely? If you don't believe me, check my gamertag : Sloshed Rat. The entire first page I'm a level 21, and every game is a win. If anyone else has come across bull-blam!- like this, or has advice, please share.

Because your expected to win every game so far... Its a bit backwards to explain, but you need to play a To4 with a better sigma record than you.... your more than welcome to play a To4 I make, if you beat us you will go up..... If you beat us

There has to be some threshold, I mean, I can't possibly win 100 games in a row and not rank up, can I?

50 games is the threshold, after 50 straight wins you have to rank up no matter what

Damn..... alright, thanks for the info.

Try having some of your friends use other accounts.

It effects true skill, if the true skill value of your teammates does not change.

Yeah, that's nothing.

I've had a 24 after 256 straight wins in TS. No joke.

I've had a 49 with 460 exp in TS (50 with 502 now).

Playing in a To3/4 is fun.

H3 >> Reach

Read about the ranking system & you will understand, but it really doesn't make any sense. If you have the best Team in a team playlist, then you should all rank up & reach the top of the playlist in a reasonable amount of games. (Not how it does occur, but how it should've.)

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Try running 2's, running 4's begs for a longer time to rank up. Or have them use different accounts for a few games.

This.

On the account I had 256 straight wins for a 24, I played with different people who were on new accounts as well, but not the same ones as I'd been playing with.

I ranked up from a 24 to a 50 in 20 games.

I was playing with my friend on a 48 in TS, I had made a completely new account.

We win 3 games, he moves up to 49. We win two more, and then lose and he moves down.

It takes 3 games to move up again, and then 3 more wins on his 49 and he moves back to 49. I'm an 11 or 12 by now.

So we get the 49 back, win 11 straight games and still not a single level raise. I'm on a 22 now.

Currently on a 32 with a less than perfect record (about 3 wins to every loss on his 49, but with sprees of 4 and 5 in a row) and still not ranked up.

Anyone know if they think we are close.

Should I play on my 40 account instead, it's got a ton of exp.
