Here are the latest patch notes, which introduce a wide variety of improvements:

Ranked Season 2 has started

New ranked rewards added:

  • Gold / Platinum / Diamond / Master Bandanas

Individual performance has a bigger effect:

  • Top Performer bonus replaced with Performance Grade for all players
  • The amount of bonus points is based on your performance in the match compared to the average in your rank
  • A strong performance can almost fully offset the points lost from a loss in most ranks

Party members share performance of the party:

  • Performance of all players in the party is averaged to determine the bonus Rank Points that the whole party receives

Faster ranking up:

  • Requirements to advance to qualifiers were reduced (Previously some ranks required >100 Rank Points, now all require 100 except Apprentice, which is 50)

Easier to pass qualifiers:

  • Previously passing required winning best 2 out of 3 matches, now requires 1 out of 3 (Bronze), or 2 out of 5 (Silver).

Easier to get back into qualifiers:

  • Failing qualifiers now sets you back to 90% of the previous rank (was 60 – 90%), so winning your next game will loop directly back into qualifiers

Other changes:

  • Max rank achieved through initial placement matches is now Gold III (was Silver III)
  • Ties no longer award Rank Points to either team

Maps:

  • New Devon

Economy changes:

Networking:

  • Players can no longer late-join a match where the winning team is leading by more than 30% of the score limit
  • Idle player kick timer reduced to 30 seconds

Menu Changes:

  • New option allows the user to launch the game and be taken directly into Multiplayer
  • You can now use |d_pad_l||d_pad_r| to select booster levels and weapon/sidekick/mystical mods, for faster loadout editing
  • Global leaderboard now shows percentile in the format “Top x% of all players”
  • You can now scroll to the top of the leaderboard by pressing |t|

  • Fixed multiple idol pick-up issues in Plunder
  • Fixed bug with Combat Marking & Mark on Damage allowing Stealth users to become marked occasionally
  • Late-Joiners can now properly melee a Brute
  • Fixed a bug with throwing Mysticals while on a rope causing the player to re-throw the rope

It’s great seeing the multiplayer portion being so well-supported. Expect the co-operative game mode to drop this fall, as Naughty Dog is still on track for its upcoming release.
