In an effort to resolve an issue in the “Ranked” matchmaking playlist, we’ll be resetting the skill ranks only – NOT level or cash – for all players in the “Ranked” playlist on Friday, January 15, 2009.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Thursday January 14 2010

Recently, we’ve been monitoring an issue in the “Ranked” playlist where players are seeing their playlist-specific skill rank being reset to level 1 throughout the course of play. In order to resolve this issue, we’ll be resetting the skill ranks for all players within the “Ranked” playlist on Friday, January 15, 2010 at 12:00 PM PST (what time is that in my city?). We will also be letting everyone know through an update of the multiplayer Message of the Day at that time.

Now don’t panic! We’re NOT resetting your overall progress or any other part of your accumulated stats. Your skill rank ONLY exists in the Ranked playlist and it is the number displayed between your level and your PSN ID – your level and the cash you’ve accumulated to date won’t change at all.

After the skill rank reset, all players should start seeing their skill rank increase (or decrease) normally.

We’ll be keeping an eye on things to make sure all is working as expected. In the meantime, we’re still working on addressing some other issues and, of course, working on DLC – which you’ll hear more about soon.

I sometimes get that problem, but a few times I’ve turned my ps3 off, and took out the internet cable, waited a few seconds, then put the cable back in, and that resets the connection to full, which stops the ‘ERROR SYNCING PLAYER DATA’, but make sure your ps3 is off!

Posted by: Bumble_Bee_106 on 01-14-2010

Good to hear.Are you going to sort anything about the penatly n connection problems? because games free and stuf like that and we get penalties for it which is annoying because 40,000 is alot to loose especially 3 times in a week.
thanks

“we’re still working on addressing some other issues and, of course, working on DLC – which you’ll hear more about soon.”

YES DLC!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHA.

we need some of the dlc chars to be for 50+ too , noobs shouldnt have the same thing a 55 dude

Posted by: mew_frenger on 01-14-2010

ok, thank for heads up.
wanted to share some thoughts on the game.
the plunder games problem; now you have this new thing where if the winning team r very superior, they tend to just wait with the last treassure so they can get more kills. maybe a time bonus medal could fix this problem or something. hope u guys would look into this.
*obviously this is not the account im playing u2 on. just made it when i tested my broken ps3. and now i use when on forums and stuff. been playing u2 online several days a week since beta.

Posted by: ABACADA6494 on 01-14-2010

when DLC? what DLC? new map(s), new skin(s), new gun(s)? please tell us. please

p.s. you guys rock. I say Uncharted 3 then Jak IV. or do the same thing with Crash Bandicoot and Jak and make an Uncharted racing game????!!!!<---- that’d be weird.

Posted by: Phoenix_105 on 01-14-2010

Hey naughty dog i also think it would be great if you can add to the upgrade/update when people run into water they get wet. Right now it only happens for Dreak you should add it for all the characters like Flynn.

Posted by: TehWeirdDude on 01-14-2010

I strongly agree with this, but I do see a problem implementing it. “Come on in, the water’s fine!” “No way, you just want to see my t-shirt wet!”
Second line coming from a FEMALE character and all.

Posted by: AzureFelt8 on 01-15-2010

You must be a lucky one! There is no fix for most of us experiencing this error. Connection is not the problem, removing game data also has no effect. Even using another clean PS3 with the same account does not fix the problem.
Only ND can solve this! Glad to know they are looking into the problem!

Posted by: rcfoolz on 01-15-2010

I had been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and getting a $40,000 reduction in my account (now a total of $720,000). I had called SEC two or three times a day, every day! They say nobody is having issues from what they know....I cured it by calling my internet provider and upgraded my service to a faster connection.

Posted by: SmashBros101 on 01-15-2010

OMG I can FINALLY login to this site YES!!! YES!!!
So hello everybody Smash here, if you guys already don’t know me as, The Uncharted 2 Online Champ.
ND please fill my request now that I can comment.
PLEASE make Rika and Daniel available in the U.S, I’m sure every other american would want it too.

omg here we go again with bullshit update who cares about skiled. scored k/d? i waz in the match duh i know how i did. bring a ldc out only 2300 ppl play nowdays. even less with no dlc comming in the next week or so. do what ppl want not stupid updates.

Posted by: LEROYJ on 01-15-2010

1. New maps
2. New skins
3. Fix that you can shoot fat drake behind cover.
4. Make the game more interesting for poeple that are level 60.
5. On some maps you can jump on a wall and when you hit the wall and bounce back you will go into the wall < glitch on the lost city usses that trick.
6. Make it impossible for poeple to stand behind a wall and still shoot poeple. It’s not fair if you stand behind a wall and you can shoot poeple but the guy that’s getting shot at can’t hit him.
7. Why doesn’t the Gau spawn again?
8. Fix the plunder glitch, that when you respone and press the triangle button it will be in your hands.
9. Fix when you kill somebody and you count till 9 and before you reach 9 you throw a grenade on his body; when he response you will get another kill and the person will died.
10. the treasure response way to fast on the ice cave.
11. Fix the map fort, put it offline and solve everything. That map got so much glitches it’s to much to name.
12. Sometimes the game starts way to soon and nobody is moving, you can kill everybody where they spawn over and over again.
13. Maybe a deatmatch with only your pistol and your 47?
14. Free for all?
15. The footsteps of fat drake are way to loud compared to all the other characters so it’s easier to hear me coming.
16. Give a extra point for who makes the first kill.

And my final beautiful suggestion. This would be awesome.
Make a cam of the winning kill in slow motion just like call of duty.

Sorry for my English if it’s crappy. I’m from the Netherlands. Sorry.

Cheaters! I cant belive it, yesterday theres a team who used bugs to cheat, just because they were about to loose, Thats so f*cking irritating. I hate cheaters in everything, WHY even try out the bugs?

Anotherting. NOW there are people who just let there character stay still in game, dont move or anything BUT manages to get som kills:S! HOW is that possible? I was about to defeat an enemy AND suddenly the guy who has just stood there for more than 10 minutes manages to FINISH OFF MY OPPONENT WITH A PUNCH, FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP! Is this because they want to earn exp/money AND doing something else in the meantime:P? Cheaters!

Seriously, all Cheaters should be punished with 50% reducing their rank, thats the only way, that will make people THINK!

Posted by: AnimuS212 on 01-15-2010

Actually, I don’t know how that happened but I was in the middle of the game and people started ignoring me. I couldn’t explain it to me at that time, but I think I was invisible for all of them (I couldn’t even capture a flag in chain reaction. But still, I could kill all of them and manage to get the 20 Kills Streak Medal pretty easy. Yeah I know I’m not very proud of it. But hey I was just playing the game. I had no idea how that happened. And if you call me or anybody else cheater wait till that happens to you. So in the end that issue has nothing to do with the “cheating/invisible” player but it NaughtyDog has the responsibility to fix that.

Posted by: Xplaced on 01-15-2010

That same thing happened to me. I was about halfway through the match before I realized that no one was seeing me but I could see, shoot and hit anyone else. I wasn’t really sure what to do about it so I just played it out. However my girlfriend who was in the same game said she saw my character standing over in a spawn point not doing anything. I could be standing right beside her and she wouldn’t see me. The problem went away the next game and I never have had it happen again.

Posted by: CaptainGillette on 01-15-2010

Yeah, that happens once in a while. I think it’s a connection issue. Some players are stuck in the spawn positions and some become invisible and others can run around but not use their grenades. If you try to load up the cinema file afterward, you’ll find that it is corrupt and crashes the PS3. Fortunately, this issue is a rare and random one (unlike map glitchers). I assume they’re aware of it already.

Posted by: CaptainGillette on 01-15-2010

LOL - I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. I bet the ND devs have figured out how to harness the PS3 cell processor for time travel, and are going back to eight months before the game was release to preemptively reset our skill ranks. :D

Posted by: sonizard on 01-15-2010

CAN’T WAIT FOR THE DLC! I hope eventually there is a DLC that can be used offline as well, like an offline survival that you can play on your own on a specific map or something. But I still am looking forward to the DLC!

Also would it be possible add a report system to report cheaters?

Posted by: DTS_MAN on 01-15-2010

ND I could not agree more give us the ability to report cheaters. I know it would take up a lot of resource but surely if someone is actively aiming when inside the map then there clearly cheating. I take it coding for the hit detetion to work the other way through walls would be too great???
Loves the game always...just sometimes arseholes spoil everything.

Its never the majority always the minority!

Please let Gabriel Roman and Eddie Raja be skins! Please let Simon Templeman and James Sie reprise their roles. Please release Navarro for those who didn’t go to Comicon… Please, please, please, please let Robin Atkin Downes rerecord Navarro’s dialogue. It’s grating to the ears hearing him with Sark’s audio x.x

Posted by: BoSS-ScorpioN on 01-15-2010

We were hoping that it was clear that we wouldn’t and didn’t reset your level (51 in your case) but only the skill rank within a particular playlist. Your overall stats, especially as reported on this website, will be wholly unaffected.

Posted by: SMKM777 on 01-15-2010

this goes in accordance with DLC, so naughty dog hope your reading i have 4 map ideas if you need more, im hoping you continue to make ALOT of DLC until Uncharted 3 of course,you could add from Uncharted:DF, the submarine base, aka the area where you fought the zombies, the temple from the first one, aka the area before Sully “died”, the church, and the plane crash site also, id like some more guns, Ive wanted to use my MP40 SOOOO BADLY lol o n i think you could add a new coop mode, where you get to fight zombies and guardians, thatd be cool, n then of course there is new maps from areas in Uncharted 2, the hotel perhaps? maybe even make like 3 or so floors, and a working elevator, imagine plunder on that level, throw the treasure into the elevator and risk going up with it and potentially suffering an easy grenade kill...and giving the enemy 5 kills thatd add to more strategy wouldnt it? elevator...or climb up? ha, oh n maybe implement more trophies? itd be easy but id like to get some trophies for getting a double, triple, etc not asking for much just some bronze, maybe a gold for getting 20 or so MVPs, speaking of MVPs, itd be nice for a “So and So is MVP” at the end of a match, and itd be cool if you could track that persons greatest kill in that match and make it viewable for everyone...sorta like in Modern Warfare 2 where you get to watch the final kill....except this would be more epic, itd add insult to injury im just saying, I aint asking for much, Im just a fan of such a great game, and I love and appreciate everyone who made this possible, it aint Game of the Year for nothing huh? thanks, hope you read it, enjoy, anyone else agree?

Posted by: phantomgenes on 01-16-2010

Good ideas! I would some too: Maybe the train level can be added to the co-op playlist as well, that was one of the finest levels you can see on shooter games nowadays and playing it with 3 ppl is aweasome! Imagine more choppers and Gau-19 enemies while hanging on the train. Also the ice temple mission can also be co-op objective, this time let the guardians be the enemy, or maybe dead explorers too! Make it as interactive as the single player like more jumping and climbing etc. Adding never seen before uncharted-related maps also helps, like the mansion of pinkerton and the bar in Uncharted EoI.These are some possible suggestions, thx ND for putting so much effort in making Uncharted 2 into the best game ever!

Posted by: Odyseus_gamer on 01-15-2010

Dear Naughty Dog:
It would be nice if you guys add more skins like
- Mr.pinkerton
- Rika raja
- Eddy raja
- atoq navarro
- Gabriel Roman
- Elena from uncharted 1
- Drake with the baseball shirt
and more.....

Also new maps from uncharted 1 & 2 would be awesome and more weapons for multiplayer.

Thanks

Posted by: OKSEONE on 01-15-2010

NAUGHTY DOG, please, you could add the gun “WES-44” in the multiplayer !!! It is my favorite gun and I not not seen lay, in any of the modes? It’s a pity… Most of my friends have me make the same remark. I count on you, Thank you.

A fan of the WES-44

Questions for Arne:

If you were to fix the geometry glitches within your map editor, would you then require players to download the entire maps again? It seems to me like either Sony or Naughty Dog don’t want to grant clearance for a large patch.

The other thing is the netcode. Are you focusing on the connection errors at present?

Regards.

Posted by: arne on 01-16-2010

Large title updates are not an issue with us, regardless of what they address—we’ll make those happen if necessary. Title updates do take a bit more time to prepare and QA and through the entire process though. So some things just take a little time.

Posted by: JayLowe on 01-15-2010

Hey ND,

Not complaining, just bringing it to your attention, but recently I’ve had a number of games freeze at the point where it asks you to choose your boosters. It’ll count down to one and then it will just stick for ages, with the music still playing in the background. I know it’s not my connection because I can still hear people on mics and they’re experiencing it, too. All you can do is quit the game, and it sucks because then you’re in danger of getting a $40k fine should anything else happen, like a Connection Error or something.

Never known this to happen before, but it’s happened five times in the last four days or so.

Posted by: Jermidue on 01-15-2010

Great job with the game ND. Also, just a suggestion for a game type: 2v2v2v2v2 like MGS online or Gears online. Don’t know how that would work though...also, it would be interesting to have a deathmatch only playlist. Suggestions for DLC: Bonus characters from the game, and a map from Borneo, and also one thats sort of more urban like level 5 in the game. Also, it would be interesting if you could patch it so you can sprint. Sorry for the long-winded comment. Great Game, 10/10.

Posted by: c71196 on 01-15-2010

I got an idea for Uncharted 3 what do u guys think about egypt and Drake fighting human Jackels. thank about it please.
For some more dlc can u put the zombie level from the first 1 for deathmatch. U can also put in the train map that would be awsome.

Posted by: xergeniero on 01-16-2010

I also got the “syncing player data error” yesterday.
My game couldn’t read a multiplayer stage after some minutes showing the deathmatch teams on the screen, so I just decided to sign out to go back to the menu. Then I signed in, pressed multiplayer and at the end of the connecting bar this frustrating error pops up.
Naughty Dog, please, fix this problem as soon as possible. Uncharted 2 is excellent!

Posted by: rcfoolz on 01-15-2010

One thing that is needed very quickly is a kick option for the players that just leave thier systems on and are not playing. I can’t begin to count the matches that I’ve seen 1 or two players just standing there match after match just trying to get points. Kicking them out of play after the end of the match would make much more sense than having them “tag” along.

Posted by: amandoplay3 on 01-16-2010

Hello.
Can try close all conections in the server.
1 day, a few hours, all players connect closed.
Its for repair the “error syncing player data”.
1 day of mantenaince of the game in the server.
Suth down the server of the game.
Please, thanks.

Posted by: mikex6989 on 01-16-2010

hey naughty dog. i noticed you fixed all the glitches! thanks for doing that. but there is one specific one in the train wreck that if you jump on the right side of the box you automatically die. when you come from the villains side you go all the way to the right up the ledge right before the desert eagle gun there is a box and if you jump on the box on the right side you die. you need to fix this ASAP. thanks!

Posted by: LEROYJ on 01-16-2010

NAUGHTYDOG THANKS FOR FIXING THE GLITCHES.

i was playing with a dude that i didnt know. but he was dying the whole time by suicide. i was like wtf? then the plaza deathmatch came by. again he did suicide like 3 times. i was thinking and came to the conclusion that you cant do that on the plaza. its not possible to fall of a waterfall or cliff. i watch the cinema & i saw that naughtdog fixed the GLITCHES! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. good work. you will die if you try to go in, and thats what that dude tried to do the whole time.

// Leroy

thank you so much.

(again the wrong place: this is the newest one, sorry guys, I’m a little tired and don’t know exactly how this site works with posting and stuff, anyway I hope one of the dogs read it)

Since this post is talking about DLC I like to post some critical things I hope you guys take care of.

You said in some interview with someone I forgot that uncharted 2: multiplayer was meant to be fresh and new because of the climbing mechanics, well although I agree that the multiplayer is extremely fun, I think it could be even better.

The problem is that the MP maps rely way to much on shooting mechanics and search cover, the maps are easy to climb in, no hard jumps or many pits to fall into… the problem is, is that players that are good at shooting don’t need any skill at climbing because they don’t need it, they run around the map and kill everyone they see, without taking a single jump… So I hope the next maps (at least I think you guys are making maps) rely more on climbing skills, so that you have to be good at climbing to have an advantage on the other players that just shoot people, make higher buildings for instance, less amounts of ground to walk on, more diversity in hights, ledges to climb on the side of the building to the top from behind a map: just make some weird things, no symmetry in the maps, use poles to swing over gaps,take some risks!, after all this is a great opportunity to bring multiplayer to a whole new level…

of course I can understand this isn’t an easy task because you have to be carefull when it comes to making maps, the map must be balanced and the respawn points must be take care of, also one team can be in advantage where they start.

So I hope someone of you read this post and try to think about it, I know this is a single player game and I loved the single player, use this multiplayer to expertiment with, before this I never played multiplayer before, I hated shooting each other to death, but this multiplayer I have fun with, it’s not extremely agressive and no blood flying everywhere, I like climbing around the map and pull-down guys (best multiplayer idea ever), and with friends it’s nice to play, but the main point I want to say, this is you’re first game with online options, just experiment with it, with such a good single player, no one can say the game is bad because the multiplayer is bad, so: take risks!

PS: and a cursed spaniards survival mode would be cool, but that’s just an extra;)
