Ranking system.

[SaiSoma]

stupid idea. how about instead of having the placing of a probe give points, have the probe spotting something give points. different points for different items spotted.

[Lykourgos]

are you volunteering to write the code for that

in some way that everyone agrees is fair and won't give the server hiccoughs, of course

QUOTE (Cadillac @ Sep 8 2007, 10:18 AM) Ok. So after my very flawed idea about giving people KB for nanning I have come up with a new idea, which I hope is slightly more sensible in the eyes of the rest of you ... so here goes.

Why don't we rank players based on the points which they are given and are displayed at the end of game stats view. Points are already given for pickups and the discovery of alephs. So cannot points also be given for negative damage, and points could theoretically be given when a probes discovers an enemy bomber (though this idea is a bit dodgier)

Set points could be given for all of the above, and when included with kills etc. It could make for a good ranking system.

Points can be added or subtracted for won or lost games (the amount vaires on the state of the stack etc), this allows players on the losing team who nan and probe and play support roles constantly, to still raise their rank, or at least to minimise their loss comparatively.

The only issue would be what amount of points to allocate for a certain task.

(As you can see I haven't thought very much about this, but the idea just came into my head and I thought it was so awesome I just had to write it down somewhere. So why not here? /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />)

Critiscism is welcome (wait ... you were gonna critiscise anyway /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />)

Caddi good one getting a topic sure to get responses.

Just listen to Drizzo.Abolish all point systems.People on high speed are going to get more kills than the 56k peeps,and newbs tend to be more 56k. I've seen voobs just lurking,letting the other teams vets go right by them so they can pounce on a newb and get thier rank to go up. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Look at when this topic was started.

Necro much?

[Furiat]

Says it all, doesn't it?

[Sindertone]

The current rank spread is huge. If it were smaller, the high end could disappear. Imagine if we could only become a 10. You'd either be a learner (<10) or a pilot (10). No more mega rank, ppl like arrm could blend in just fine.
I guess this is prolly silly.. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

[takingarms1]

yeah I bet Aarm's 42 KB would make it hard for him to blend in at any point... /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Glad to be of service!

(Though I have no idea why this thread was necro'd, and now people are going to see the topic "Ranking System" and open the can of worms all over again ... )

Or they already have /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
