New Leaderboard

[Rekrul]

make points turn on for all level 60, or have no points at all. having part of the server use points and part of it not just makes points that much more irrelevant and meaningless.

A leaderboard that gives no credit for CC, debuffing, healing and highly favors a couple burst DPS classes.

I agree, and probably most people do as well.

What can be done tho? Maybe if youre in a group that gets a kill, and you aren't the one who got the killshot, you get an assist point?

The code for that should exist, the titanum client used to create the server has built into it everything live eq had by default, and live eq (every server) had a leaderboard that gave group points to anyone whose group killed a pc. Like he said though, it would have to be a change made by the staff. In order for jeremy to pick it up on his board maybe the staff include it in the yellow text.

Something like this

Jeremy defeated Ragnaros in Greater faydark with the help of some friends [.50 to jeremy]
+ Yulith [assist]
+ Bump [assist]

Yt would be indicating that jeremy kill shoted ragnaros and, because he opted in, got .5 points from it. Yulith and bump would get no points but would get an assist kill because they were in jeremys group and in the zone, which could be tallied on the board itself. So it would show your total killshots, your points, then another column for your assists. A really great enc/cleric etc might not have many kills but if they had like 50 assists you'd know they were a pvp player.

Oh btw jeremy it's great to weight the board in favor of 60s, but lets give the 50+ some credit. One thing that sucked from live pvp is they made it so that lowbies couldn't really enjoy the game until they leveled up, and if lower level has no real value they might not feel like they are part of the game, this is especially true of lvs 50+ where every level takes forever and you can't overly penalize people for not being 60. Also lv 60 for some classes requires quite a bit of gear to compete with the bis people, so they shouldn't feel like they have to grind for 3 or 4 months until they can actually play at the top level against the best, let them get some credit along the way for what kills they get-maybe 30-40% of a 60 kill for a low 50s kill, instead of .3 points vs 3...

Well thats my idea, now back to schoolwork.

This would all be sweet.

So it won't happened, but we'll get the forced classic UI they're working on, classic UI will make me nostalgic for 30seconds, but then vomit/quit

Take a look at how the devnoob/image boxes do it and duplicate? It's not perfect by any means, but basically anyone in the group gets credit for a kill, and you get a bonus for the killshot.

But that would require an in game leaderboard made by staff so it will never happen.

The board operates solely on broadcasted yellow text as data

maybe with the ability to input info, like the opt-in and level brackets, one could input a group, when they're in one, and then any YT generated would give the non-killshot group members the assist.

that's not a very good way to do it tho, and could/would probably just get abused in some manner.
