Dissidia NT update 1.39 Patch Notes (PS4)

— Ranked Changes —

New Rank – Ultima

  • When all six people in a match are in the Ultima rank, then the match becomes an Ultima match (if in a party, then only one person needs to be in the Ultima rank)

  • Priorities other Ultima ranked players, but will add other ranks if it cannot find enough and turn the match into a normal match

  • Gained and lost points are separate. Will rank up if you gain enough points before losing enough points to rank down. Maxing the points at Ultima A rank will reset both gained and lost points to 0.

  • In an Ultima match, if you are in the winning team, you gain 20 points if you are placed 3rd or above. If you are in the losing team, you lose 20 points if you are placed 4th or below. Otherwise, you will gain/lose 0 points. (players of a rank below Ultima will gain or lose points as normal)

  • In a normal match, you will not gain or lose points.

  • (NT only) If you disconnect after you can see your teammates on the briefing screen, you will lose 20 points if it is an Ultima match, or you will lose 5 points if it is a normal match.

  • (NT only) When in a party, you will lose 10 points if a teammate disconnects (to prevent people from letting only one player lose points if it looks like they will lose) (if you also disconnect afterwards, you will only lose the points for your disconnection, not also for their disconnection)

  • Released on the 9th of January (preparation between 24th of December and 8th of January)

  • Need to gain +400 points in Crystal A to advance to Ultima E (Crystal A currently 300 max)

Moving Rank to NT from Arcade

  • Characters at Crystal A or below will keep their arcade rank in NT (unless they are higher rank in NT)

  • Characters at Ultima E or above will become Crystal A in NT (unless they are higher rank in NT)

Disconnection Penalty

  • Disconnection penalty start moved from the 6 people briefing screen to the 3 people briefing screen (as in when you first see your teammates)

Ranked Matches with COMs

  • For players at Mythril E and above, you will not gain or lose points if there is a COM on the result screen (it does not matter if the COM is on your team or not)

  • (NT only) Even if there is a COM in the match, you will still lose points when you disconnect

Automatic Rank Increases

  • For Vanguards, Assassins, and Marksmen to be automatically moved up to Adamant E

    • When two of the same type reaches Crystal E

    • Or when one of the type reaches Crystal A
