Feature Requests (please add)
Sorry of this thread exists or if there is a better mechanic for communicating feature requests.
- Distance between your ghost and current run
- The ability to play against ghosts of another player
- Or some mechanic for run sharing
- Replays (Nytmair req)
- Indication of league members on the global tables
- Indication of time and table position on the past runs level selection screen (though I suspect this would be a pain as it would need a new API or require multiple data requests)
- Player summary with # of times in the top 3 for global and league
also
Level Amnesty
I am not sure what the intention is with the global HS table and new players nut I do know that having not joined on day 1 is a real pain in the ***. Currently the global HS table is only relevant for the top few. Perhaps there is a way in which newer players have an opportunity to catch up on previous levels without it being unfair to those original players. I propose a level amnesty where previous levels are playable but only at a point gain of half. Perhaps this happens on a particular date (i.e. you have to do all of them within 24-48 hours?
Alternatively, can we have an era table? so that newer players can wait till the start of a new era in order to be able to compete fairly for the HS spots?

I too was trying to think of a way that this would work...
The only thing I could come up with is Days 1-500 play out like normal, then on day 501 you can play day 501 AND day 1 during that 24 hour span, then the next day 502 and 2, and so on. Also gives a little incentive to those who don't need to make up any days to go back and practice.
Any good?
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
Nice idea.... though I think the global leaders will be a little annoyed as it does level things out and they will struggle to maintain their rankings.... think they need to retain some form of advantage as reward for being there from day 1. Still.. could work well.

I agree. Those who began at day 1 won't be happy (like me http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif haha)
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
Ah, the half-point thing is a good idea for that aspect
Feature Requests (please add)
Well, I've been there since day 12 and missed 2 weeks because the app store wouldn't let me update. It just kept failing, so I've missed a lot of days where I could have received a lot more points.
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
Check out the data... Lets say we have 3500 current active day-to-day players now. If EVERY player who posted a time on day 1 is still playing they would only represent 10% of active players. The other 90% most likely signed up somewhere between Days 2 and 13.
Day 1 - 355 scores
Day 5 - 5175 scores
Day 10 - 7117 scores
Day 13 - 7389 scores
Day 20 - 5815 scores
Day 30 - 4106 scores
Day 40 - 3859 scores
Day 50 - 3627 scores
I propose that at least days 1-13 be replayable at some time for full point value only and not to be reflected on the original standings (so as to not upset the original record makers).
In general, why not let people who just purchased the game acquire points for all previous days, just without posting their times to the LB?
I don't think you should be allowed to make up days though that you just simply "missed". Only 1-13 (due to the mass of new incoming players) or all days leading up to purchase date.
BTW, I signed up on Day 8. Faithful player ever since! Maybe I'm just ruining the whole idea of the game, but at first glance this seems to be fair right? I would never quit playing even if this suggestion or something like it is never acted on, but I think it might actually attract more new players too.
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
I like your thinking.
Perhaps missed levels ARE playable and DO count to your overall score but you have a limited number of restarts (say 10)... that way you can still accumulate points but not fine tune so much that you are beating the original leaders.
I also think that it would be logical for Redlynx to add some 'catch up' aspect to missed levels. I've mentioned the game to couple of friends and added the caveat that the global table is pointless if they are just starting.... so they aren't playing.
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
When you look at the past runs, you global place for that day if you competed should be visible. So without going into the leaderboards you can see how you did. Just an idea.
Re: Feature Requests (please add)
I second that, that would be one handy feature.
