Player Reward System

Re: Player Reward System

Fancy idea but it might put some "extremists" off.
I'd also like to note that the current equipment manager which is out is very resource whoring.
I'd recommend maybe making a similar one if you add this system in.

 

Re: Player Reward System

75 Points per £1 Donation - I feel that could be a little too many points. Say someone donates £10 one-off (An amount I consider would be about average for donating), that's 750 Points. That's enough to cover several items for a few months.
Maybe £1 for 25 - 50 points, or increase amount of points required to purchase the 'items'.
1 Post = 1 Point, also seems a little open to abuse in my opinion.
Hiding Ingame Advertisements - I'm against that, and tbh I don't think it affects/annoys many people either. Advertisements could be holding information such as available ingame commands to execute, or just general rules to follow whilst playing on the GM Servers. Allowing people to hide that sorta stuff aint a good idea imo

Other than that, sounds like a nice system! Maybe around 15 different awards would be a good range to hit, although I can't really think of anything else that would be nice to include.

 

Re: Player Reward System

Sounds fair, changed and added to OP, any abuse of the system, will be dealt with, severely.


Also, how about (Dark will not like implementing this):

Custom title(On forums) - 1 week - 10 credits

 

Re: Player Reward System

Why do I get the feeling darks reaction to this will be the following:

Re: Player Reward System

Added all the teamwork stuff.

Also, anyone else got anything against it?

 

Re: Player Reward System

Custom title (or forum name colour) sounds cool, but maybe have them achieve like 500 points and let them have the title for a month 10 Credits for a week, you know people will just spam that for life..

 

Re: Player Reward System

Well that was a little anticlimactic.

Sounds like the best 'rewards' idea so far...

Edit: The points amounts will take/need a lot of tweaking...but that comes with time and testing.

 

Re: Player Reward System

Moved into Server / Website Chat.

 

Re: Player Reward System

well if you want to do a trail start with GM only see how it goes, then open it up to everyone if everything goes well (im sure it will all go well)

 

Re: Player Reward System

Run it on one server first, for testing.

 

Re: Player Reward System

He means internal testing, to check how balanced it is, and how easily it could be abused.

Releasing a donor system is stupid.

Also, we were getting close to hate mail for not releasing prophunt, and our servers are still the most popular prophunt servers, and that won't be changing.

 

Re: Player Reward System

Managed to miss this one before. The advertisements, really, are just spam, there's only 2 useful ones, and if you've been playing on the servers long enough, you know them already.

Code:

// Advertisements 
//
// 
// Types
// -----
// C: Center message
// H: Hint message
// M: Menu message
// S: Say message
//    - Colors:  {DEFAULT}, {TEAM}, {GREEN}, {GREEN}
//    - Example: {GREEN}Current {GREEN}Map: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}
// T: Top message
//    - Colors:  {WHITE},  {RED},  {GREEN}, {BLUE}, {YELLOW}, {PURPLE}, {CYAN},
//               {ORANGE}, {PINK}, {OLIVE}, {LIME}, {VIOLET}, {LIGHTBLUE}
//    - Example: {ORANGE} [URL="http://www.example.com/"]www.example.com[/URL]
//
// Flags (optional)
// -----
// Accepts flags of admins that will not see the advertisement.
// When omitted everyone will see the advertisement.
// When left empty only admins will see the advertisement.

Re: Player Reward System

Probably the first step to turning the servers noob.


All servers with speed boosts and increased crit rate have this kind of system.

 

Re: Player Reward System

Yeah, that was kinda lame... (had to input that, when i set a title?!?!)

 

Re: Player Reward System

Give me a link or a server IP that rewards players in a similar method for teamwork or community based actions, and lets them buy single non-OP donator like abilities, by signing up the the forums and using a web-based purchase system. - I for one, have never seen a system anything like this.

You don't have to enter that correctly on initial registration IIRC.
