Ratings in new puzzle system

Is it just me, or are ratings higher in the new system? Previously I hovered somewhere in the low 1900s. Currently in the new system I'm sitting at 2138. Is this intentional, or just an odd quirk?

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way of seeing your puzzle rating graph. Is that coming? I really liked that!
@stevage When I click your profile, i see all rating graphs. Including the puzzle rating. (The dashboard is also nice, but just the graph in your profile already shows development over time).

I used to be easily 2475 and now have to make an effort to stay above 2425, so yeah the ratings definitely changed but apparently not in the same direction for everyone.

Ah, I didn't notice that it's present on the same graph as the others, thanks.

>I think your just getting better!:)

Heh, sure, I just coincidentally jumped 250 points at the exact same moment as the new rating system came on board.
I think it depends on how you 'play' puzzles. In the past I often saw more puzzles that only gained me a few points, but lost me a lot when I mess them up.

Now, I still lose more on a mistake, but perhaps 2x more instead of 8x more. And of course the dynamics change even more on themes.

In short, if you are comparatively 'inconsistent' (able to solve the very hard ones, but too often mess up the simple ones). I think your rating was much more penilized than it is now.
