Declined Reward base on rank in battle

[LordBritish3 0]

Currently in a non-pro battle, often you will have a gap of up to 7 ranks for most battle. The guys in the lowest rank (maybe with some M0 kits ) will be pitted against the highest rank (likely having M1 or M2 kits). It is not a battle, it is just often slaughter for the higher rank druggers.

 

This will make the lower rank guys very frustrated and no point in joining the battle.

 

My suggesting is for the lowest 2 ranks to get More Reward in such a battle.

Likewise, the highest 2 ranks will get Less Reward.

The 3 ranks in between will get the average reward.

 

In such a scenario perhaps for a DM, the lowest rank getting 10 kills may be equivalent to the higher rank getting 20 kills or the middle guys getting 15 kills.

 

I believe this will balance things a bit and encourage lower ranking guys to challenge the big boys.

Declined

 

Actually the problem is the other way around.

 

If brave low ranked players connect to the big-rank servers and try to work hard in a high ranked battle, the high ranked players are .. aehm.. "grumpy" (to put it friendly) because one of their slots is taken up by low firepower.

It's ok if they join in high ranked players from time to time in order to learn.. but I think most of the higher ranked players are happy, if their own team is not stuffed with M2 1/50 equipment in M4 battles.

 

The low share that they can take with them, is a reason why their numbers are so low.

This would become definitely worse, it you give the low ranked players more of the fund.

 

Only in DM (and yes, that's your example, but not not the main focus of your idea) this would make sense.

 

 

ps: nice nick name by the way. LordBritish is a very awarded and historical name when it comes to computer games ;)

The thing is, battle funds are higher if the ranks in the battle are higher. So a player has two options: either join a low rank battle where their rank is the highest, easily get first place and get a mediocre reward; or risk going into a higher ranked battle and play against stronger opponents, but with a chance of getting a greater reward due to higher overall battle fund. So in a way, players already get rewarded by going into high rank battles.

OK no harm trying to ask... was very frustrated after some high rank dudes  who drug like mad made us 4 lower ranking fighting like mad to stop him from grabbing flag. Even with drug, we were decimated.

 

 

 

Yup - Been playing computer games a long long time. Remember how I have to kill LB in U4 with a ship cannon. That inspire me on the name

^you're welcome ;)

 

If you like to enjoy this game.. just stay out of too high ranked battles.

I don't know why they opened the allowed rank ranges for battles that wide as they did recently.. (but I fear I also would not like to know the answer if they would tell me :p)

So LordBritish placed himself in a game? xD He was the coder and mastermind behind the company that made the whole Ultima series ))
