Problem with High scores
« on: January 25, 2006, 11:29:33 pm »
Apperantly, GMs are now overflowing on the highscores. Now, all of the scores are no longer hard-working players, but edited stats. Please put the filter back in, and let the normal players stay on the scores.

I\'m having an awful time trying to view the Laanx character stats page :/ Can anyone post here the supposed GM names that are on the charts? I have a nagging suspicion that they aren\'t GM characters at all.

Typos!

The page (which works fine now, yay!) is http://laanx.fragnetics.com/index.php?page=char_stats. There used to be a link to it on the main Laanx page, but it was removed for whatever reason :>

And now that I see the stats, I do agree - some sort of filter for GMs is a good idea. (And who is \"Hance\"? o.O)

People can\'t edit duel points, so I\'d especially like to know how Nathaluth and the others got all those points in such a short time. I don\'t even know who Nathaluth is. >_>

EDIT: There was a filter before, Karyuu, so only players could show up on the high scores. But, since that was removed, GMs raided the high scores and bumped me down to a newbie duelist. =/

The filter wasn\'t removed.  My guess is the new GM levels code is pissing it off.

those chars are no longer GMs and have had their powers removed and therefore are no longer filtered out of the listings. (all previously level 3+ who set their skill levels.)

Hance was a GM.

Nathaluth.... strikes a bell (is that even a phrase) not sure why.

Because it\'s discouraging to people who actually play the game.

I removed the link on the main laanx site because I did not think they reflected the true stats.  For example, some NPCs were topping those lists.  Initially these stats were a way to encourage players to stay online in CB.  Now that we are getting good online numbers I don\'t think we need these \'top ten\' type lists again.   Personally, I would be in favour of replacing this with more indepth discussions from particular people, guilds. For example, player/guild interviews I think are a better way to encourage players to stay online and build their character.

No it isn\'t.  It\'s discouraging only if what matters to you is having the most leet character.  I would hope that most people here are above something so shallow as that.

If that were the case, then what\'s the point of the high scores in the first place?

Raising skills are still part of the game, and if people max out at their own will, then it removes that aspect of the game.

Ah, yeah.  Those characters should\'ve been deleted instead of just downgraded.

I think some sort of leader board is a good idea, but just listing stats and such is pretty meaningless.  I don\'t really know what would be better, though.
