Problem with High scores

[Vjorin]

It would be better if it were a leader board of society, not of stats.  Like they mentioned earlier...have leaders of guilds, politicians, etc...

Total hours online is a nice one though.  Don\'t see any reason why I\'d want that one removed.

Acraig answered that question before your post.

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.

Max out at their own will? There is another way?

This is getting out of hand, though, Kyixi got over 500 duel points in 1 day, there can\'t be any explanation for that. Also, yes, it is discouraging, zanzibar, it\'s discouraging to me, because in less than a weak, my position as one of the greatest fighters was removed by people who just mass-duel. My dueling was for a good cause with Mitaki, I had a role-play background to it, and even without fighting evil, he was honorably dueling to test his skills, or have a good time. Now, I\'m not even there anymore, and all of these new characters are overflowing the Duel Scores for NO reason at all. They were made in less than a day and they had taken over my position that took me monthes. Those characters need deleted, seriously. >_>

As far as I know, there\'s nothing wrong (in the code) with the advisor/duel point tallies there.

All that knowledge about high scores, Suno, is completely OOC, and completely unnecesary. It just allows private gloating that you\'re on some arbitrary chart and your name is viewable to others, most of whom consider it utterly meaningless. Do points make you a great fighter, or a reputation in-game?

The entire thing really should be removed and replaced, as Acraig said.

They\'re just duel points.

Meaningless and shallow.  If you were a great fighter before, then you\'re a great fighter now.  So someone is better than you!  Big freaking deal!  Kyixi can\'t take away from who you are just through duel points though.  That is, unless all you are is duel points?

Who cares about stats, the only highscores to care about is the crystal one from MB .

Look theres me -->

I don\'t know. To some extent ofcourse things should be roleplaying, but we aren\'t talking about a messageboard ehere we are talking about a roleplaying game. roleplaying within a game where the game should be the Dungeon Master and decide what what.

I mean you shouldn\'t play being a swordsfighter if you don\'t have any of the skills. Don\'t roleplay an evil army when your really outnumbered 1 to 10.

The game should bring some reality to the claims people make to make it not everyone can be the best of the best and so roleplaying is more realistic.

Perhaps challenges of some kind or more suiting then these top tens, but atleast it should be somewhat objective and not just who the best storyteller is.

[Karyuu]

Agreed, but like I said - the best \"score\" is your reputation in-game ;)

[fireofsoul]

/me throws a brick at Karyuu. The best score is the crystal one! jeeze I just had to disagree seeing as i have nothing else to do today

[Karyuu]

My apologies for assuming that we were discussing something applicable to the current game :P

Even if I had an army of evil warriors which outnumbered everyone else, I still wouldn\'t be able to really play with it since there\'s no open PVP.

[fireofsoul]

well you could if all the gm\'s decided to setmode NPC, but that would be no fun.
But yes, no one should really care about highscores, who really cares if someone is on the highscores or not?

[Pestilence]

the game is still limited, but that\'s kinda my point. In real life people are sometimes forced into things. You can change things when you don\'t even have to have a majority.

With roleplaying it sometimes is to easy to ignore what you don\'t agree with. Pretend you can\'t get caught eventhough someone faster is chasing you for example.

With things like D&D for example it\'s the Dungeon Master who tells people when they are dreaming. Here it will have to be the game.

Nathaluth is a member of the Dragon Council, just like me.

We both have no way of altering the stats in Laanx.
We both fought hard for gaining our Duelpoints.

There is no cheating involved in this, if someone thinks it.

I am also busy with gaining AP\'s so in future i will appear in laanx-stats with my AP\'s too.
