This is a summary of the discussion on another thread. Please take a look at the idea and let us know what you think :)

The idea is to split the PvP Ladder into level brackets as follows...

1 - 100
101 - 200
201- 400
401 - 600
601 - 800
etc.

Your bracket would be determined by your level when you make your first PvP attack for the current PvP Ladder (ie. your bracket would be fixed for the duration of the ladder).

A couple of points to note:

1) Once your bracket is determined, any victories outwith your bracket will not gain you any PvP rating.

2) PvP Ladder Tokens would be given to the top 'x' players in each ladder bracket, however it is likely that the amount of players to receive tokens in each bracket would be reduced to prevent flooding the market.

3) The '24 hours per rating gain' will be removed.

There are is the following issue however...

1) What should be done in regards to the bounty board? (Ie. Should we still give rating transfer whatever level the target player is or should we keep the current new system of 20% or 10 level, whichever is higher)?

Look forward to hearing your feedback!

I love the idea. Metalus had a thread that implied this. Im glad its being broken down to see who really is the most Dominant.

As for bounties..... You can take rating in your bracket only?

Just a thought

maybe just a ratings transfer of pvp points to players on the bounty board only if they are ranked above a certain number on the ladder? or maybe within the 20% level range idea ontop of that?

the brackets idea i like a lot, this would be one of the best changes i have seen yet

MUCH BETTER

for bounty hits make it so you can only gain rating from people in your bracket, however if someone takes a bounty outside their bracket the person bountied will still lose points kinda like a sink for points

voted no only because there are way more players under 100 than other brackets. I suggested a % based bracket and think that would work much better. a ladder for each 10% or even more percentages would ensure everyone had the same number of players to compete against

im a 340ish and Rank: 6,265th -5 if I recall back that far when I was a 25 i wasnt even ranked in top 20k so there are way more lower levels than higher.

YES!
there should still be restrictions on the bounty board. to say at least the bracket the players are in. yes there were a lot of players up for a while on the BB today, but look at them, 2 poeple had the majority of bounties on them. and saying no one will clear the lower ones, I have no problem spending my tickets clearing people for gold or fsp. i did that way before this ladder and i think it should be like that.

I like the current Bounty Board rules you implemented regarding rating transfer. But if you do brackets, then do away with Bounty Board transfer altogether.

Ya good idea but level 1-50 and 50-75 because level 25's have alot of targets along with level 1-5 because of constently new players

This sounds better--It will increase PvP and even those that do farm will be hit...

As for bb rating transfer staying in brackets would be good-but I may be selfish on that one,,

Still curious about the dominance medal with brackets.
Would it be-

A) highest pvp rating of any bracket
or
B) a day of dominance of each bracket counts


I know it doesnt matter to alot of people, but with this, a bit of meaning might actually come out of it and it be worth getting ;)


Rating on the BB doesnt matter much to me if there are brackets, sounds like it wont effect the competition too much.

And Im still in favor of flooding the market to cut down on cheaters. Seriously, why are you so concerned with protecting the value of rewards no one asked for but now every one and their brother who had no interest in "being the best" at pvp has an opinion on how their group should have more of a chance to obtain? Pass them out like candy, then see who really cares about being the top pvper ;)

as far as the BB goes i think this says is it all

"1) Once your bracket is determined, any victories outwith your bracket will not gain you any PvP rating."

and since there are so many more lower level players maybe the brackets should be more along the lines of 1-50 51-100 101-200 201-300 301-500 501-800 and 801+

Finally,those that are bounty hunters will have no problem with this...They were clearing people before-and they will continue to do it-regardless of the level..

if you are making brackets...expand the level range as each bracket becomes higher.... ie: a level 500 -800 bracket... they have many more targets then i would at 710.. its common knowledge... if the PvP range ( ie:me hitting someone off the board) was expanded 5 levels per 100? or something for the sort...

The key issue with having points with bounty's only stay in the brakets are

1. lower levels will only want to be cleared by high level players and counter the rest.

2. Higher levels will get Naked/no equipment and be cleared by lower levels

So that is why I think

MUCH BETTER

for bounty hits make it so you can only gain rating from people in your bracket, however if someone takes a bounty outside their bracket the person bountied will still lose points kinda like a sink for points


will prevent cheating/colluding on bounties

There are is the following issue however...

1) What should be done in regards to the bounty board? (Ie. Should we still give rating transfer whatever level the target player is or should we keep the current new system of 20% or 10 level, whichever is higher)?

Look forward to hearing your feedback!

So if rating transfer is taken away from the BB, can I attack any player within 20%/10 levels of my level and take rating? For example, I am level 900. Can I attack a player level 801(direct PvP) and gain rating but not be allowed to attack a player 800 for rating?

Essentially this idea opens up the attack range tremendously. I have no problem with it!

2X rating point transfer on bounties I say.

OR

who ever completes said bounty gains "X" PvP points.

X - Bounty-ed person's level divided by # of hunters plus 20% of your level = PvP points awarded.

[Example] :: (100/4) + (100-20%) = 100 PvP points gained
