gossip Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Gossip is GREAT! I hear soon, you will be able to talk with people on main server through gossip =D Will be awesome if its true. Actually, the new feature is ready! try a /gossip TELEGRAM SL7yz0r Hi there! Come over to the pk server- we're starting a guild. The telegram command works in either direction (pk to main, or main to pk), but remember, some peeps won't have the same name on both sides, so you have to know who you're sending a telegram to. As far as Hardcore- he's just an old meanie... I think he #ignored me. Gossip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scafativ Report post Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) http://game.eternal-lands.com/online_pk.htm The links to the player stats do not work though (go to the main server). Awesome! Maybe instead of stats, we could get generic a/d/p/c groupings? ie "noob" for the obvious, "low level" for those 20-30, etc.... While I can see that there are obvious drawbacks to knowing everyone's stats... I say a little knowledge goes a long way. I agree with this. I think posting actual stats on the pk server is counter productive, and even straight rank may be a bit too revealing. The answer? Brackets. What I would propose is the often used "combat rating" formula (which factors a/d/p/c), divided by 10 and rounded to the nearest integer. In other words- someone with a combat rating of 135 would be in bracket 13, and someone who's a 231 would be in bracket 23. This number could be called a pk bracket. What's good about this method is- there would still be a fair amount of risk engaging people with the same pk rating as yourself (because a high 9 could kick the butt of a low 9), but players would still have a decent chance of getting away from a fight that turns out to be a poor match. IMHO, it gives you some grasp of another player's threat, but doesn't give it all away, like the standard rank or stats pages do. scaf Edited January 4, 2008 by scafativ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scafativ Report post Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Lets NOT do this. I like gossip bot, but I DONT want others to know anything about my strenght kk ty bb. Just to be clear- Gossip can't and won't give any strength/fighting data that isn't otherwise available from the game. My proposal is for the e-l website- nothing to do with Gossip. And I'm glad you like Gossip's other features. I think that your position on no data being available is a valid and rational one, I just don't agree with it. If there's no information available on other players, I think that everyone will always be fleeing rather than fighting- I think that a published bracket system would promote fighting, fighting between people who can have reasonable fights. In a way, a bracket system is similar to the capped pk areas on the main server, and that has worked out, more or less. Also- just because your bracket-rating is published doesn't mean you're going to loose the opportunity to chase down and pk lower bracketed players. By the time they look up your bracket, you may have eaten them for lunch. Here's a thought- how about if the player's size was proportional to the player's rank/combat-rating? That would be a subtle cue- "uh oh, that guy's a lot bigger than me- better flee." scaf Edited January 5, 2008 by scafativ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gives even more motivation to get strong, and would make the bullies look silly when beating up on the little guy. As long you got to full size around a/d 40 or so, it would help give new players a chance, but after 40, all is fair (and by that time gives players an opportunity to learn strategies).

Mango Report post Posted January 6, 2008 No benefit in this. Wanna know people their strenght? Fight them. Not like seeing someone in pk, oh wait I go check his/her ranks/whatever, oh he/she is stronger than me, lets not attack him. Whenever I fight someone, and I get owned. After that I might train some more, I dont want other players to know that . I wanna be surprise. Atm its good, we hardly know eachothers a/d, whether someone is low a/d but high p/c or something. Its a mystery. I heard someone was strong, so I tried him out, found out it wasnt too bad. And also I made people run from me, when they were a lot stronger than me, they just didnt know it . I like it like it is, maybe make a page, where you can see your own ranks, so you know how well you do compared to community, but not off other people. P.S. Capped arena's on main Majorly failed fyi.

Kjata Report post Posted February 1, 2008 Is it possible to post a top stats page that is anonymous (no names)? That way people can still see how they compare to others, but no one knows what stats specific people have. Or maybe even a way to find out just your own ranking in comparison to others.

bkc56 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 I'd like a top-X list too (excluding a/d if people want that). Although I'd like it to be more than 5, like top-20 or top-50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantis Report post Posted February 2, 2008 Top 50 atm lists almost everyone, so it is kind of silly. Scarr is right with top 5 in my opinion, it makes it so you can tell who are best in a skill (and if you are near top, you can compete with others). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blodoks Report post Posted February 2, 2008 People will want private stats anyway, so no point to it. Do you think the majority of players want privacy? Mostly setted privacy on cause a minority of stupids. Privacy killed the fun in pk and to lvl skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
