I would have posted this in the ongoing update threads, but felt that the suggestion would have been drowned out with the sheer number of people posting in that thread on a whole host of issues.

HCS, since you are suggesting so MANY radical changes to the PvP system that simply were not in effect when the current leaders climbed to the top, please reset it to a baseline ranking for everyone. I say this as a player whose rating fluctuates anywhere from 1800 to 2200 on a given day, depending on who I'm clearing and who is clearing me.

Also, for the love of mike, UNLINK RATING AND PRESTIGE, please and thank you.

Sincerely,


Grave

Actually, it is not. The other thread is open for suggestions on this board, he simply put his suggestion to that thread in another topic since the other thread has been going crazy and all lol.

i agree, maybe there should be a regular "reset" for all players pvp rating, like once a month or something, that way everyone is able to get a fair shot :P

That would make the dominance medal in its' current incarnation even more pointlessly impossible to get.

are my thoughts and ideas good enough to start a whole new thread about, or should i keep posting on the thread that HCS opened for this purpose? should everyone post a new thread with their ideas?

Perhaps. This is, after all, a free forum. No one's stopping you. In a normal forum system, that's exactly what happens, and moderators weed out the repetitive or weak threads. Unfortunately, this forum hasn't been in a very long time.

I made this as a standalone thread both because it's an important issue that hasn't appeared on the Cows' radar yet, and because I'm willing to take the risk that they neither view this thread nor respond to it.

Thanks, next time I decide to start a thread I'll make sure to check with you and the rest of the forum police first. Didn't know I needed your approval first. :wink:

im not "policing" anything, you're the one who noted that you were posting a duplicate thread. if you read the thread that radneto started, you would have seen that many people already posted the same suggestions as you. i feel your suggestions would be better heard if they were in the thread along with all the others (because you know that forn was watching it).

Please dont duplicate threads..Radneto's is the one we should be postig on because its easier to keep all ideas in one place rather than everyone starting his own topic

not really, remember its of a total amount of days, not consecutive.

this will give all players a chance to get the medal ;)

I'm aware that several other people proposed a reset in that thread; I've been posting actively in it as well. I'm also aware that, with very few exceptions, most people ignored it in favor of discussing other parts of this massive update they're proposing.

Therefor, I decided to let it stand on its own. If it dies from lack of attention, then obviously the community doesn't support it. If it has legs, then hopefully the cows will look at this and realize a reset needs to be a part of whatever ends up going into the final update. That's all.

If you're not policing, then why bother to post about nothing more than the fact this is a "duplicate" thread? I personally don't see this as a duplicate, since every time a reset gets mentioned someone else types right on past it with the next post.

As for radneto's thread, it's 40 pages long and still running. Historically pvp threads that run more than 30 pages get absolute jack squat done - I should know, I've participated in almost all of them :P

But I don't love Mike.


I had something useful to post, but I'm still undecided on this. On one hand, this would be unfair to people who legitimately earned their way onto the top 250. On the other hand, the other 249 people on the ladder deserve this...

this is highly needed..especially if they are going to start rewarding the pvp ladder. lower level players would have the ability to be on the ladder and actually fight for it.

the only problem would be the lack of targets for higher level players..if only they fixed xp loss then maybe we could get more players involved. but atleast the bounty board will be full of players with good amounts of pvp rating..this change would fresh up the bounty board too. it would bring in old/new hunters to the game.

+*thumbs up*
