Topic: Reduce 75% NW Rule

It's just too harsh, and prevents a lot of potential gameplay.

I'm sure most players in SN will agree...

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

Thanks for the initiative smile

Will be good to hear what the active and involved people of Supernova actually have to say too. 

Like I said in the other thread, we changed it to 75% based on what players wanted.  Having said that, we're unopposed tweaking it to make it better.

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

After SN is reset we will have a poll for the players to vote on for about 3 days. Then Torqez will change it if that is what the players are wantin.

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

75% is a bit to steep, but the idea of a higher than before NW limit is dead on. I imagine something around 60% would be ideal. But then again there's always the ones that wont be happy with the current limit, no matter what it is.

The farmers want it lowered.

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

i put no because there has been next to no farming done, which is a good thing.

but i do think 60% would be a better number because its been far to easy to have someone 70% of your nw portal in your core and jump to hit.

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

I am a prime example of that.

NW # 24    Heisenberg    Qezians    414    3478821

SIZE # 4    Heisenberg    Qezians    414    3478821


So everyone is now preying on me... I'm getting punished for my own successes

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

thank you

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

I'm divided on the issue. If the goal of the galaxy is truly to have a safe learning place then I think 75% is perfect. It almost eliminates farming, which can only occur if you are very crafty and keep a low NW.

For me though, I didn't like it. For the subset of people trying to win the galaxy, it makes the experience boring. Too few targets. You are punished for having good infrastructure. I tried to have a good old fashion war, 48 hour nap, lots of shares for both of us...at war time I jumped modestly and still went too high to attack because he decided he didn't want to fight. It's too easy to hide at 75%. (Kudos to 10333 though...he logged on before our war, hid ressie on the market as if he were jumping, and fooled me...very nice move IMO)

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

yes, QOTSA did have a good round

Re: Reduce 75% NW Rule

Is there an option to split the NW rule for players?

The new players can have a tag for their first 2 rounds in the game, which protects them from the more experienced high nw players.

It may prevent demotivation.

Another option is to add a "rank" to each player based on previous rounds and rankings. Bottom players or mid-talentend players can have a different % of NW rule then top players and new players for example.

This way there are options to attack smaller (experienced / talented) players who can deal with it. --> more options for attacks BUT with protection of farming the small new guys.

The big-jump problem is solved partly as well this way.

I don't know if this is suggested before but IMO it might be something ...
