Re: New Rankings Feature

yea but it gets multiplied by a big number that prevents EOR jump to make a big difference. But it still counts NW only. Planets is what matters in the end, and that gets completely ignored in this formula.

The one that gets the most planets in the end, they did the best job and most strategic overall. Yes people will call it lame when you don't do anything all round and war some topfam that just finishes a war. But then again, they did stay low all round, and all other fams let that happen. And they did get in position to war that topfam.

When a soccerteam defends all match, and scores one goal in the 93th minut, thats lame, yea, but they do win smile

Planets is what counts. Everybody knows it, everybody thinks its right, but not everybody likes the way people get there. That is, and always will be.

...meh...

Re: New Rankings Feature

linky it to the fam page like before X(

Re: New Rankings Feature

You can simply ignore the "Score" NW and Planet is still there. So please stop whining to return old things back. Changes are needed.

Re: New Rankings Feature

IC is good as it ic imo, dont implement stupid useless changes

Re: New Rankings Feature

my 2 cents.

I think its good..  NW and Size are still there but this offers somthing new to look at and perhaps a fairer way of ranking fams. I dont know the ins and outs of how its calculated though.

If it was a bit more user friendly that would help, but these things take time.

Re: New Rankings Feature

i agree, i dislike the new rating system, it should be an option, but not the primary rating

Re: New Rankings Feature

I think the score should be biased more towards the end of the round, I can see it is a bit at the moment, but I fear the last week may be fairly insignificant unless fams have close ranks.  Perhaps change the formula to this...

Your fam NW / #1's fam NW * (10 + [ticks passed in game^x]  / 50)   ....  where x is the power, a number between 1 and 2, depending on how strong it is to be (I'd have to think too much to come up with the best number, not ideal for 1am tongue).

The size point is a very good one, and so I would change the scoring to this...

[ Your fam Size / 2* #1's fam Size  +  Your fam NW / 2 * #1's fam NW ] * (10 + ticks passed in game / 50)   ..... ie Its 50% size and 50% Networth...  adjust the multiples on the bottom of the fractions to adjust the rate, perhaps to make it 75% size or something... or even pure size, whatever people agree is best.

Final change that I think's needed... don't count the first 2 weeks, I just don't think a fam should be penalised so badly by a bad start...  then again, if the power in my first point is high enough, the early score won't be such a killer.

-----------------------------------------------------

This score system seems to go against what many consider to be the "Best fam in the round".... that being the fam that took an early knock through a war, was easily outside the top 10 after a week or two, but fights back to finish top 3  (82 from last round is a good example wink)  This score system will put this fam lower down sad

Re: New Rankings Feature

Oh and a differant think... when you hit rankings it should default you onto your own galaxy...  99% of the time thats where I want to look ofc!  Doesn't make it any harder to click to other gals either smile

Re: New Rankings Feature

Re: New Rankings Feature

I got it big_smile

For the formula it should be:
((your nw/#1's nw) + (your size/#1's size)) * (10+turn number/50)


That would account for planet size and NW throughout the round and would be more comprehensive.

Re: New Rankings Feature

i really like the changes made, but why fix something thats not broken,

this score thing is cool, but should have just integrated into the old rankings format,

with this new one, if u are looking at any fam, and then click on "fam rank" it takes u to the rank page, rather than show the fams rank, so u gotta search manually,

and if u search manually, then u cant even click on the fam to see who is there and so on

if these two things can be added on to the new setup, i for one will be happy big_smile

Re: New Rankings Feature

Re: New Rankings Feature

Also, do you think we can have a sort option? Like to see who is highest in p-count, highest in NW and also Score.

As id like to see where my fam ranks in NW and p-count to the rest of the gal, not just ranks in score.

Oh and is there personal ranks still or am i just not looking hard enough lol

Lemme know if its possible smile

Re: New Rankings Feature

What might it take to just insert planet count into where networth is, and then average the two formulas together, rounding up to the nearest whole number? This would allow for planet count to be factored, and play about an equal share with networth, which I think has been the main debatable point between who wins a round.

Unless i'm missing something here.... You just click on "Rankings" and then you click on Families by Score, Size or NW. It sorts them depending on what you click. The same for your NW and Size (the links are under the fam rank buttons)

Re: New Rankings Feature

Hehe, some of you are whining like old farts due to some changes, sounds like people over 65 years and doesnt want any changes. Maybe some of the changes needs slighty corrections so good with suggestions for improvements but yelling about back to the old one is stupid. This game really need changes to prevent people leaving the game, keeping up the challenge and the good gameplay.
