Update 06-Apr-2010 - Hall of Fame [alpha]

[berserker]

Today we have added alpha version of our famous Hall of Fame ranking that was discussed on forums back in the days.

So here is the deal:
New Hall of Fame ranking is determined by actual skill of clan players. It implements ladder system with basic rules:

1. Fame battles that counted towards ranking are battles that contain 4-6 players and 2 teams where each side has players of corresponding clan.

2. Each Fame battle scores Fame points, for example loss gives 100 points and victory gives 300 points. Howerver you can fight vs particular clan only once per week to receive points. This system will force you to fight as many different clans as possible, removing abuse when 2 clans fight each other to pump ranking (good thing we have enoguh clans to date - 55 and increasing).

3. Giving points for loss as well forces people to play even loosing battle, cause it's better to fight many clans and loose earning points than not fighting anyone.

4. This system forces clans to have players of various levels, cause if clan has players only level 30-40 it is hard for them to fight against low level clans and score points.

5. Since battles will have 4-6 players it will be easier to start a battle, comparing to 5 vs 5. Overall we think middle-sized battles are more fun and have more tactics involved as 5 vs 5 is a very stressful and risky mode when one player doing one wrong step usually makes whole team loose, in 3 vs 3 there are more chance that you wont get killed until your next turn.

6. Hall of Fame will be updated once per week and all points will be updated with average score of last week and this week value thus making movements in the Hall of Fame more smooth.

7. During week each clan member can see details about this week's Fame battles, it's participants and scored Fame points, thus you can see if someone from your clan lost a game to some other clan on purpose and take action againts those players.

8. Fame battles with significant difference in player levels will be disabled by the system so it will be harded to loose clan battle on prupose. Starting naked will be disallowed for the very same reason.

9. Hall of Fame will be divided in groups by 5 clans, like Group A - clans 1-5, Group B - clans 6-10 and so on. Fame battle between clans of the same group will give 5 times more points. This system will prevent possibility of some clan being ignored by everyone for some reason (being too strong so noone want to play against it, etc). Also this rule will make movement in top list more fun cause you will be fighting from one group to another climbing up and competition for first places will be against best clans, not against some random noobs.

This Hall of Fame ranking is in early stage available to public mainly for the purpose of testing, thus it does not give any bonuses yet for top clans, however in the future when it will be properly tested it will give significany bonuses and clan medals to clans that dominate this Hall of Fame list.

Other changes:
- fixed stars in activity list that were shown incorrectly.
- fixed crash in game lobby (needs to check)

:0 nice.. but i dont have clan lol

[TrUlster]

Good, but shouldn't this system be the one that grants clans their perk advantages? Seems they all still have their +20 hps without having fought any "fame" battles.

Still needs a system which grants more xp for non-clan vs clan and vice versa to make the xp a more accurate assessment of the opponent difficulty.

[berserker]

Clans and clan perks will be completely redone, there will be no +20 HP perks, no clan exp, no clan levels, and this ranking is added for testing, I wrote it loud and clear at the bottom of the news text.

Hi all,

I believe this latest update makes the game unplayable on Windows 7. I tried it on two different systems and I get the following behavior:

Login screen aprears
Insert password and game enters full screen (black sceen)
After a few seconds the game exits, is appears in the taskbar minimized.
It can not go into full screen again

Has the game been tested on systems that run Windows 7 or is it a local problem.

Thanks

In today's update instead limiting games to 3x3, 3x2, and 3x1 it is allowed to play any game which have 4-6 players and 2 teams where each side has players of the same clan and it will be counted as Fame battle.

Nice, that will make it much easier to get games. Due to clans being restricted to 10 players (without perk) its difficult to have many people online at same time for a lot of clans.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! So does that mean that when my teacher of my school creates the clan (in about 1 week) it won't have special abilities? Like max hit points +20.

[berserker]

When we will remove +20 HP clan bonuses we will add other clan perks and clan medals.

[Dude]

[Pimenta]

berseker why take -20 hp???

we build wour BUILD thinking on That, if you removed that we have to pay to change 4 PERKS in all men

have to think about this..., we like this game but you have the think in US too

Not only Change for Change..., some changes have to be logic

[berserker]

Are you from the North Pole or what?
The fact that clan perks will be changed to something different and more tactical instead of just +20 HP was discussed and foretold at least year ago.

[waynekenpogi]

bers is mad.. well not mad.. somewhat.. losing patience.. look he will just remove +20 hp.. instead make it higher like +30 hp .. or like +50% blind resistance.. aint that cool guys?

i would like to say, in that case i am in favour of berks.
if the new clan system is good as he say it is.. i think we will forget the +20 hp or what ever you chose in no time.

have a good day

[Pimenta]

but i agree too...

my problem is! If he Change (removed 4 perks of CLAN of Incressead of HP) so have to be perks for the 4 available in each soldier.

can not be harmed, when we built our thinking about the 20 HP

know Bersk want a car with leather seats, crocodile. And with special rims, but have to understand our side as players

[waynekenpogi]

as you can see alot of people above level 20 has a clan... does this mean the low levels will not have clans yet when level 20 and below? only the good low levels?

[Xx_NEMESIS_xX]

lol very nice.

>:/ STARS

[StevenNguyen]

i bet this will be funnn but wat will u add for clan perks???

[hoanghuynh]

it makes no sence if bers remove 20 hp , that means cashers need to buy more cash to reset agian
