Star Legends Beta Leaderboards to be Wiped for Launch

[Chant]

Best solution is... reset all characters back to level 1 and refund the players who spent plats on damage and xp pots. I'm sorry but I don't want to be level 20/21 and have 0 kills. I rather start at level 1 and earn back my kills and actually enjoy farming all leveled maps. NOW this is called an even playing field.

Why do people complain about this. Honestly I could careless about who exactly is on the leaderboards. People should just get over it, so what if so and so has a better ratio or more kills than you. It does not mean that they necessarily are better than you at the game. The leaderboards are just a bunch of numbers, I don't get why people get so upset about them.

if it's something you put effort into, i'm sure anyone would be upset. Put yourself in their shoes. Hours and hours of playing for it to be wiped out. Yeah, not cool. But at the same time they knew it was the beta, and some changes were gonna be made upon the actual release.

The reason sewer pinks and purps are used as boosters over ao is for a second or possibly third kit (12 stat points vs 8) however not counting deaths would be worst idea since Greedo shooting first. Can already see people locking before a boss to avoid a death. But IMO no matter what's done the people on the board will be populated by those that find the easiest path or spend the most plat on defense and attack elixirs.

Sure, just screw over the locked farmers. Great idea. Not.

I'm sorry what's the issue with what I said?

[kavanah]

What about those who play a "support" role? Is there a leaderboard for them somehow?

bron, I have many locked farmers and I understand the problem. In PL, you could lock at 11th or 12th level and kill farm in FH:1 with ZERO CHANCE OF DYING. This makes k/d leader boards irrelevant. Lovenus was the master at this, and he'll always be remembered for it. Others imitated Lovenus and after weeks of obsessively kill farming FH:1, made their mark on the leader boards. But they were imitators and nobody will remember them for it, as we do remember Lovenus. Now the PL leaderboards are totally skewed.

The point of k/d is to say, "These people are such good players they had this many kills to each death." But kill farming in FH:1 is not quality play, it's just obsessive play. So that's why the LB is meaningless. The fair solution is, if you don't get XP, you shouldn't get the kill.

The devs have therefore decided that turning off XP in an easy zone when you have no chance to die and pumping your kill count to get on the LB is an exploit.

Please tell me how spending plat in SL makes you have a higher k/d. These complaints like "but I spent all this plat to get my high kill count" don't make sense. They took elixirs to advance quickly, to have super armor, super damage, shorten cool-down times, move faster... but now they want to say they did it for the kill counts?

I thought they were testing, not trying to get a jump on the rest of the players.

^ Rely on Snakespeare for the best explanation possible.

^^ agree

[Arguntom]

Thanks a lot because I have so many deaths racked up from trying to help newbies with miner mcguirc its not even funny. I think 80% of my 240 something deaths came from his lair.

If the SL LB has the same format as PL, there should be an Engineer's section for everything. So yes, there will still be support LBs, but just have different amounts.

This should be real interesting now after this goes live. Well after it goes out to apple and we can call it live.

If apple takes to long. People will rack up kills from general play. There is people who want kills. There is people who do nothing but look at your kills.. . . There is people who wont even play beta now because there max level. They want kills.
The population droped to under 50people online all the time before they opened it up to android. This all happened after they said they were clearing boards.

I dont care what happens. Im just saying this should get a little drama going.

Leaderboards have been wiped with the launch of Star Legends.

EDIT: Looks like not all the Kill stats were reset. The team is looking into it.

[Samhayne]

The leaderboards update over time. We update one leaderboard every 15 minutes. There are 16 leaderboards, so it will take 4 hours since the reset (which was around 11:30 am) for them all to update.

[fruitbattwo]

hey sam any word from apple even a small sign that theyve even looked at the game? sorry of im waisting ur time about this question

[MightyMicah]

Samhayne, you da man and all. But please listen when i tell you, this is a big mistake. Please refer to my thread "all this boosting" to understand just what I mean. Thank you.

To present a fair playing field for everyone, we will be wiping the Leaderboards for the launch of Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles. This means that your kills and deaths will be reset to Zero.

This wipe seems kind of silly now since it was suggested to present a "fair playing field" and iOS users still aren't in the mix. Players who got up to 21 will be at a disadvantage with this coupled with the fact that kills are only counted when xp is gained. I would reset but that option isn't available to those who took advantage of the premium character upgrade (unless they're willing to sacrifice their toon locked upgrades). Maybe should have gone with the suggestion of resetting all characters back to level 1.
