Reset will force alot of players who currently have high rating and abuse captain in add1 to actually play, instead of farming for 60 mins. Because of that they probably wont climb as high as they were before. A reset will also allow previously lower rated players to get away from the support pidgeonhole they are currently in.

It will not be a reset for now: I do not care about charts. Only about games quality.

I will add new things to "help" stucked ppl in !add1:
- Players will have "levels": -3 to +3. -3 means u can't add any mode, +3 means u can add any mode. This are special accesses given to certain people based on their involvement in xp. Will be very few.
- Players will receive "bonuses" for bringing up new players from euro. They will be able to vouch for a person, invite him in trial and if after X games he is accepted he, inviter gets certain amount of xp. Ofc if the new player sucks, inviter loses xp.
- Some players can "vouch" for other players to bring them in add2 or add3 for 1 game. This can be done limited number/week/player. If the vouched player won, he keeps the access until he loses add2 or add3. In this time he can ofc gain enough xp to add any mode.
- Admins can put some guys under "positive" surveillance: if enough guys vouch for someone in add1 games, he can gain access to add2.
- A special 4th mode will be ready soon: player draft challenge. Anyone can add to it and more details will be uncovered when it's ready.

Too be honest Cip, you are beeing abit of a hypocrit here contradicting yourself. You are on your way implementing an invite/vouching system where people will get or loose xp based on bringing players in. You are aswell implementing a betting system, where you will be able to bet xp on games, but you are saying you don't want a reset cause xp will change and game quality will be bad for a while due to bad balancing?

I'm not sure, but I think you mentioned you could balance games after previous seasons xp (if you reset it and make a new season) for a while, until a new balance settle. What's the issues with doing it this way, when twice as many people want a reset over the ones that don't?


I'm just asking away here, my intension is not to critizise so please do not take it personal.

The changes in XP not game related are relatively smaller then xp changes from games. And limited. You won't see people inviting daily other ppl for hundreads of xp. You will probably be able to make it once/week. Thats max 100 xp inflated. We are gaining/losing far more in players coming/leaving daily. Same with bets or other things. Bets if there will be, will be something like bet 5 xp to gain 10xp once per day. Etc... Compared to add2 and add3 gains/loses... rest will be small and tracked.

May I ask why bother to make a poll if you don't take in consideration the result ?

I currently see 330 players idling on #xp, 279 persons voted, that means something doesn't it ?

The changes you propose seem to be good, but making a poll and make the community involved to after say "i dont care about charts" is stupid imo.

Happy New Year!

A poll is just a poll.

He was probably more interested in getting the discussion around it, than the poll itself.

lol. A poll is a survey tool. I asked, not said "if X will want it = will be done". By reading stuff INSIDE the thread and thinking over.. i made my decision. Doh... Nothing is stupid.

Well, i kinda understand peoples point saying "hey twice the votes for xp reset so why not reset". But i think i have to jump on Cips side here. If he wanted to know if ppl are ok with the actual game qualitiy and xp balance by putting up a poll is nothing more than a survey. As he said.

And when he sees other possibilities to get more ppl involved in xp and keep a certain qualitiy after he read ppls comments in the poll then in my opinion this a good thing. Just my 50 cent.

Btw i didn't vote yet.

Greetings
