Essentially they are going to remove the point incentives for lower level griefers by making their yts visible but their points far far less then a kill on a higher lv player. I mean if you had to I'd want to just abolish points altogether on low lv players, but supposedly the new board will make them so worth so much less then a 50s player that its going to be marginal anyways. The low lv players will be able to to keep track of who among them is doing the most work but none of their kills will be worth anything compared to a high level kill, a low lv sub 50 player would basically never reach the top 50-75 again.

There was a lot of discussion about this in the other thread and we all agreed on it, and we're basically just waiting for the new board to be released so we can all take a look at it and decide if its as good as it's supposed to be (In comparison to the old board)

Everyone agrees it would be nice but how do you not realize that would be impossible without support form the Devs? The player run leaderboards only have the current YT messages to go off of, which does not disclose levels.

All of the ideas for people to manually input levels are awful.

It would be a simple fix if the Devs would just input peoples levels in the YT message.

The code is already there in stock emu code.

It's literally like 5 lines of codes to make a kill worth 6 points total. Divide 6/# in group (so clerics and others get some credit...) and you could give +1 point to the kill shot.

YIKES etc.

Leaderboards are fine as long as you dont take them seriously. Notice how the only people that spam leaderboard stats like they mean anything are in the losing guild/s on the server cause they have nothing else.

And what do you "have" in a winning guild? 4am video game commitments and a shiny shield? Well done.

[grannock]

Lol, we were farming vp in primetime while you guys were in bear pits. Angry much?

[Macdeth]

Nope. I've never been to the bear pits.

YT may not be classic but I find it is an enjoyable addition to the server, although it does promote some bad pvp habits.

Leaderboard just makes those pvp habits ever worse. People nuking themselves to avoid YT, HT themselves, etc. Just to preserve a precious KDA. It also encourages people not to take risky fights for fun, because dying means it goes on your permanent record. Mass pvp is also effected.

I think a good compromise between the two is to keep yellow text in, and make the leaderboard only show an un-aggregated history of the kills (no statistics). Id say that it could still show guild on guild statistics but we already know many people drop tag when they are about to die anyway.
