Changes to Leaderboard, everyone deserves a chance!!

[Venom]

Hello Devs and STS and fellow players!
Following are my suggestions for the leaderboard changes:

Seasonal Leaderboard
The PvE and PvP kills/flag captures should reset just like the timed runs every season. That would actually give new players a chance to get on leaderboard. How and when do you expect a new player to ever catch up with 50k+ kills or 15k+ flags..? Players get too competitive and start kill farming in order to keep up or catch up. Doing that would actually tone down the kill farming or wrong methods as well. Stats on player profile should show total amount of kills/flags but on season leaderboard, it should show the kill/flag count for that specific season.. Shouldn't be too difficult to add a separate parallel counter to a player's current counter which would reset every season. The All-time top players can stay the same with Max number of everything, but there is definitely a need of leaderboard which resets every season for pve and pvp so everyone has a chance!

Thanks!!

imo the idea itself is very good. im looking forward to get a "real" chance to make it to the leaderboard

[ABOOOOOOOO]

Great idea.

[Soundlesskill]

As long as you still het banner for PvP kills overall seasons...

[drgrimmy]

Yep I think this is a great idea! Unfortunately it has been suggested several times before, with no clear response As far back as the beginning of season 2, it was quite obvious that new players had no chance at catching up to the pve kills leaderboard, and such a change was suggested. So +1 to having both "seasonal" and "all time" pve kill, PvP kill, and PvP flag leaderboards to keep everyone happy, both old and new players

I dont like itI LOVE IT

[Limsi]

[Venom]

Maybe there should be 2 sets of leaderboards for those items.

PvE Kills Season 4 & Total PvE Kills
CTF Kills Season 4 & Total CTF Kills
TDM Kills Season 4 & Total TDM Kills

Same banner given for being on either leaderboard. That way players who worked hard in previous seasons can be rewarded for their previous hard work while new players still have a chance to earn that same banner.

The reason I think this is that some players went way overboard in previous seasons to give themselves a cushion for future seasons. Although he is not playing anymore, one player that comes to mind is Patrick. He reached 1m PvE kills early in Season 2. I'm sure you all realize how phenomenal of a feat that was. He told me at the time he did it so that he didn't have to farm kills for a really long time. He is still tops on the sorcerer leaderboard and if he were still playing would deserve to get banners until he is knocked off that board.

Yet I understand that new players who do well should have a chance to be on leaderboards. So have both, that way everyone will be happy.

Only area I don't think it is possible to both is the "Top Player" categories. This one has to stay the way it is with the total points counting.

One thing though the banners should be excluisive not given out to every single player.. And tbh idk about this idea the longer you been killing you keep that spot, what happens to the #1 player example in pve kills where does he go? If he gets removed then thid idea is not good at all lol. He should keep that spot no matter what. If little kids cry dam cant be on the lb wa just put real hard work in and maybe you can catch up.

[Venom]

Be practical, think about it, to even get on leaderboard the fair way, it takes more than a few months. Meanwhile, the kill count on LB keeps increasing, making it even harder to get there! Say couple seasons from now, it would be almost impossible for a new player to get there. Some players use the 'short cut' by kill farming, while doing that they don't take into consideration the amount of hard work some players have put into getting there. By implementing this seasonal leaderboard system, everyone would get a fair chance of being on the LB as it would count your kills right from 0 every season! Even newbies who join couple seasons from now would have a chance!

[Jig]

Yeah well, are you saying the hard working lb guys that put there effort in there killing goes to waste? Maybe they should (Seperate) it so theres original Lb's and season Lb's, these guys that are in lb's stay there they have been working for (Longer) so they deserve it? But if it is possible they can seperate it which will make it an excellant idea! We need this I don't disagree on that

[GoodSyntax]

DECLARE @CurrentSeason AS INT

SET @CurrentSeason = 4

SELECT
SUM(CASE WHEN Season = @CurrentSeason THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS SeasonKills,
SUM(1) AS TotalKills
FROM
PvpArenaKills

There, now you can just go ahead and add some plat to my account.

The All-time top players can stay the same with Max number of everything, but there is definitely a need of leaderboard which resets every season for pve and pvp so everyone has a chance!

Thanks!!

@Jig Please read my post carefully before jumping to conclusions. I have said clearly that the All-Time players can stay as it is..

Eye dun geddit!!!!!!!! You should visit STS bro, maybe fix everything at once XD

Sure, I'd lend a hand if STS asked/invited me.

If I got access to the database, don't be to surprised if I get "lucky" and loot Hammerjaw, Glacian, a dozen Mythics and an Arcane Hammer or two. Weird how my luck could suddenly improve like that :-)

In all honesty, I am always willing to help - so STS, if you would like another programmers assistance, all you have to do is ask.

[Alhuntrazeck]

Hahaha +1m for this idea!!!!!
I never started PvPing seriously until season 4 and by then all chances of me making it to the lb are out of the window.
I would like a separate lb for seasons and overall, that'd reward the ones who worked hard from the start as well as the new players. Different banners need not be made, but idk.

[Jig]

Agree.

[Gesaffelstein]

yes please
