Well thats great.
Only thing is that it resets TWO times a week now, in the night between Wednesday and Thursday as well as between Saturday and Sunday. So we get 2 new rankings a week.
What are your impressions?

The update actually happens at the weekly server restart which should not be intentional. Hopefully it can be fixed or simply remove the weekly at Saturday. Doesn't bother me when it happens as long it's once a week.
It does not reset twice a week. The code is in fact, just as broken now as it has been for the past couple of years.
The only thing that has changed, is that now during the weekly server resets, Funcom "manully" (as in probably runs a special script or something) resets the current renown gained for the week numbers. This is why we see the Rankings updating every Saturday and showing lots of change.
These weekly renown numbers used to always get reset during the rankings update on Saturday, but after that last server merge that piece of the functionality broke, causing the horrible trouble we would see with huge renown numbers and the rankings not updating properly.
The main benefit, and likely the reason they are still resetting the weekly renown numbers each week, is so guilds can still progress in their Renown levels instead of being stuck at the cap forever.
Funcom has yet to fix the bug preventing the Renown from resetting automatically during the Saturday Rankings update.
At least there are no dead guilds cluttering up the rankings.
The Rankings do change mid week when they do the "manual" reset. I know this to be true because 2 Saturdays ago A guild was listed as 19th in Artistry, then after the mid week update they were 14th. As of last Saturday they are no longer in the top 20.Quote:
