Sort:
Avatar of Slime

I'm super confused right now, but I was doing puzzles, and was at a rating of 3500-ish. when I checked my rating, and it had dropped to 1900. Is there a reason I lost 1600 puzzle rating?

Same here... dropped from 3k to 1.8 and wondering how.

It happen the same to me. I had 2400 and know I have 1800.

I about freaked. I would think if it was an intentional recalibration there would have been some announcement

Me too! Dropped from 2500 to 1500! It's jumping up and down a few times to. I'll send a screenshot if support want it. (I'm from Sweden by the way).

Puzzles had their own skill rating, similar to variants, where the values don't translate directly. A rating recalibration wouldn't make sense in my eyes because of that.

I guess there was some announcement

Did some research and looked at that news, and all the top puzzle ratings are still over 10,000, which is still overinflated.

I don’t think it takes effect until you do a puzzle

Something like this warranted a message
Avatar of Slime

I definitely would not have done had I known.

Avatar of tootsiefischer
Not that I check those either but more likely that then the news

Switch your difficulty to extra hard if you want it to be more like it used to.

Same for me. Minus 1000 without apparent reason
