XDOOM Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Right now players have the option to scorereset themselves .. should we get rid of this option .. Or should we allow for so many scoresets/month ... and have the scoreresets available thru bot.
»SOS Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 Well, I don't see any harm in scoreresetting.
Default+ Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 I agree with SOS in this or you can have an option in a bot with !buy scorereset, when he or she have a high score.
kick me!! Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 Hmm...A Good Question if you ask me One thing about having scorereset: -Enables you to rec more easily A One thing about having NO scorereset: -People who rec, WILL most likely not participate in flagging games due to the HIGH chance of getting killed, constantly Now, looking at these factors, it should be OBVIOUS that having scorereset is creating a 'dogfight' atmosphere in the zone. Currently right now, with the population, I personally think the zone is a dogfight zone. The times when it does become basing is where the jackpot is high with a decent population, and one team decided to win, but then a basing game begins. I definitely think take away scorereset away, and have it done with the bot, let's say, 10 times in total per reset? It will possibly encourage more reccers to base more often, rather than sitting in spec, watching when they can ACTUALLY take part of it because they don't want to ruin their 'rec'. I'm a reccer myself, and I want scorereset away. Also, when you get a nice rec with a limited number of scoreresets, or if any, it stands out more. But, this will be the opposite of what i was saying. It'll be the same case if you had a nice rec. That's why you kill them and get them to waste all their scoreresets (if any) so they cannot rec.

»SOS Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 Are there really that many reccers that it causes a problem?
XDOOM Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Posted November 21, 2005 The zone is a flagging zone ... not a reccing zone ... but some people do like to rec ... and I agree with kick me that these people wont flag if they can't scorereset .... however, you can always make a reccing name and a flagging name ... And now that I Think about it ... if we limited scoresets ... then they can always changes names ... I like default's idea ... what if we make the scorereset an option on our credit bot .. where you need to buy it based on a high score (the score doesn't have to be too high, but high enough that you need to flag or ball to make it). This would force these reccers into flagging after they ruin their record to win a quick 5-10 mil or something.
»SOS Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Hmm... that would probably be an improvement. On the other hand, they could still change aliases even then.

»SOS Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) But it would have a zero rec, which is what they want Edited November 21, 2005 by SOS
kick me!! Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 Hmm... that would probably be an improvement. On the other hand, they could still change aliases even then. Even if they change aliases ... the alias wont have a high score Coming to think about it, I honestly think you should leave ?scorereset on. The aliases could be rather annoying; seeing a new name for someone who has played before. Usually, you see someone "NEW" comes on, you intend to greet them. When they begin playing, you take it easy, then BAM, you'll probably get owned, not knowing what happened. Then you'll realize who it is. That's not a big problem, but the issue I have with this all together is the constant new names and alias... With XDOOM'S idea of, 'they could make one alias with points, and one alias with reccing', is a BAD idea. You should want the players to stay balanced, where they can get a huge number of points WHILE still having a rec. If you get, let's say, TM (first person come to mind), and he makes two accounts. -TM_master (rec)-TM_Masta (points) Let's say, the (rec) one was a really nice record, let's say, 1000:75, which being the top oneAlso, the points, let's say, 5 000 000 000, also being the top one. BUT, here's the catch. the (REC) one has the 1000:75, but only 1 000 000 points.the (points) has 5 000 000 000, but a 948:2593 rec. Where's the skill at? If you have Deva rewards (which I HOPE), he just won 2 of them, using different accounts. In my opinion, points has to be the hardest one to achieve. If you get points, most likely, you won't get rec, but in this situation, he just won both with each seperate. This is very, UNFAIR, to the others. If you have someone like, MOJO (another ex.) who has, 1000:250 and 3 000 000 000 points, on ONE account, he's definitely gonna get pissed. Eventually, everyone will start making two accounts, which IMHO, is pointless.
XDOOM Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Posted November 21, 2005 Ugh, kick your posts are so !@#$%^&* long! lol
»SOS Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 (edited) I like longs posts One other thing: should ?scorereset reset credits as well? I'm thinking "!@#$%^&*, yes", hmm?And should credits be reset at the monthly reset? I'm thinking "!@#$%^&*, yes" as well And should scorereset remain? I'm thinking yes to this as well.
