I'll honestly be surprised if anyone makes it to 50, depending on xp rates. If its the 3x xp rate like Discord on Live supposedly was then maybe. Also depends a lot on population of the server - if there are 18 people online at 3AM where people can sneak a bunch of uncontested xp'ing in that would go a long way towards getting into the top level bracket and minimizing your exposure.

Part of the issue on this server vs the live discord one is the win condition is entirely PVE. It'll be interesting to see if lets say the top 10 players in terms of level choose to focus on the burn to 50 or killing off the competition some time before it. I think part of the reason there were only a couple people who even made level 40 there was because a huge part of "winning" was based on PVP points which factored in your level vs the person you YT'd. In a sense, you were limiting your potential by having a significant level advantage over the majority of the server.

I don't even think zonelines will be that safe with root landing most the time.

A system that accounts for the deads level and kill/death spread is interesting. It promotes staying in the mid level range to max out your points while forcing you to avoid the higher levels to survive.

Well, on live higher levels were worth more points but there was like a +/- 20 range for getting points at all. I'm not sure if killing a level 20 was the same amount of points if you were 25 or 35 if that makes sense. I think the intent was that there would be really no purpose in sprinting out past everyone - you'd just be sitting there waiting for them to catch up.

The point of being high level is that you can live. Pvp may not be worth points but high level basically means kill power. I think the lack of pvp points means people can't farn their friends in the end to boost points.

In the end pvp is going to happen because if you die and celebs you are severely effed. That is incentive enough. The points system isn't needed as pvp incentive and just encourages players to game the system.

Looking forward to the sirken twitch


What if server was only open 8hrs a day so it is full on war with no late night sneak leveling? Could be dumb but could be cool.

If you make it to 50 why would you even log in again though? If you think people are going to give up on a 100% chance to tie for first you haven't been on R99 very long.

I think this server will be the vast majority of people trying their best to avoid PVP with the current ruleset. PVP will happen, just like PVP happens on R99.

And the point system didn't incentivize pvp, it made it the whole point of the server. The guy who won it on Live wasn't the highest level.

If they implement it ill do it

I know for a 100% fact i can win that game over 95% of the people here who cant stop trolling or insulting. Colgate would not be able to make it past level 20. You wont see me calling people shitheads so much if the minute someone trolls/RnFs a constructive thread their discord character goes poof. There will be no need to call out people.
