Combat League Scoring

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 This has already been discussed somewhere in the past I'd wager, so I'll phrase my suggestion as a question: Why is there no combat league where the rankings are simply based on how many points are scored in the arena? This would make things interesting in several ways, because every point counts: -Might stay in a turn too long when ya shoulda resigned and get yourself killed; -Players are encouraged to blast the heck outta each other early to keep opponents' scores down; -Missing a week doesn't immediately eliminate you from title contention, as a few high-scoring events may cover the loss; And most importantly, the truly devastating combatants have their efforts recognized in the rankings. Consider: Bob scores 6000 and Joe scores 6500 in week 1. Then in week 2 Bob gets real lethal and scores 14000 while Joe scores another 6500. (Assume they were the top two scorers in both events.) In the current system they're now tied (one first and one second place apiece) in the overall rankings. But in the system I'm proposing Joe is getting his butt kicked; he's 7000 points behind the far more destructive Bob. I'm not suggesting a total shift of all leagues to this format. Just one league, perhaps even a new one. "Total War Combat League" or something equally silly. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Oct 25, 2011, 5:29 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 Hmmmm... Not sure what's worse. Getting trashed or getting no responses whatsoever.  But looking at the events schedule, I see a big-ol' off-season for the Northern Semi-Pro Combat League. Seems a fine spot and an excellent collection of opponents if we wanted to try this out... Northern Total War Combat League! Featuring all your dreaded enemies from the wastelands and a new points system too! Who's with me?! JeeTeeOh charges off toward the combat arena, arms flailing wildly, sure that a mob of fellow enthusiasts are hot on his heels... ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Oct 26, 2011, 10:53 pm

d0dger an0maly Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,492 Joined: Jan 24, 2010 would certainly be worth a trial in a new or one of the existing combat leagues. maybe one of the ped leagues too. there should probably still be some small bonus or multiplier on the points scored when facing real opponents as opposed to NPCs only though. ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped4,16,10 Posted Oct 26, 2011, 11:50 pm Last edited Oct 26, 2011, 11:53 pm by d0dger

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 I'd be for it if it was a league of professional combats. Figure some events would have a CR limit, others not. If it was a stock car event the people who were only available for the DaVinci II combat would get screwed (just a single MG and a bunch of paint you get no points for). ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Oct 27, 2011, 1:02 am

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 Due to how the CR system works, I think this is a horrible, HORRIBLE idea... With a certain 87cr build and experienced gangers, I can rack up 40-50k points with relative ease... Actaully, I find it amazing how few actually know how the scoring system works in the combat leauge, tis incredibly easy to min-max it Not impossible however, you'd have to restrict the leauge to only using stocks, and the same stocsk for all events for that week... makes it a bit mundane thou. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Dec 7, 2011, 12:39 am Last edited Dec 7, 2011, 12:41 am by FireFly

Maybe, but since when were events all that populated? Even then, risks are there to be taken, you can min max combat builds and still have a compeditive PvP vehicle. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Dec 10, 2011, 4:45 pm

Even assuming limits on CR in many (most?) events, in a no-limit event things could get pretty ugly pretty fast. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Dec 13, 2011, 12:16 am

Joel Autobaun Joels Bastards Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 4,598 Joined: Nov 10, 2008 Where everyone has the same CR? Edit: oh you mean the original idea... I dont think it will improve much. In fact I think good gunners become even more important in League events when chasing a monster score. Very munchkin-able also as two friends join a fight then just do laps the whole time without shooting each other. I can think of a couple other things less cheap, I shall reserve for myself in case this (poor) idea is implemented. ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,96,31 Posted Dec 13, 2011, 1:46 pm Last edited Dec 13, 2011, 2:14 pm by Joel Autobaun
