Platinumed Everything! :D | Forums

Well upon some discovering i found that my time on the tournament 'World Cup' was 4:01 and i was ranked 71.
So i thought, right i can improve that 'alot'.

Soo yeahh...here i am about 10 hours after of non stop trying and i'm literally crying because it won't let me 0 fault it...i honoustly nearly broke a controller :/
My times getting faster and i've managed a 3:18 run with 2 faults, that would put me 4th globally with only the 3 beasts ahead of me (Lestrophie, RedRider & phaperratti) (sorry if its spelt wrong) so im not even gonna attempt to overtake them.

But yeahh, theres obviously 2 tracks in this that dont mix well....Technique & Classic, but Technique is first so not to worry.
BUT i have passed Technique, Dreamscape & Classic with an AMAZING time about 8 times now?
Then 6 of them times iv'e faulted on Tire Hill (ON THE SAME BLOODY BIT!)
And twice have been on Trials & Tribulations.

Now i've spent too much time trying to re-do this :/
Honoustly, if i 0 fault this tournament and dont get a '4th' place, i'm not gonna be a happy bunnny.

Good going! I have platinum on every track but can seriously not be bothered with those skill games. What's so "skill" about them anyway?

O M G....
Right, so i finally cracked World Cup with a time of 3:35 (missed a few shortcuts in Classic) which puts me in 5th place, not so bothered about being 4th, even though my fastest run was 3:18..
Anywayy iv'e spent 3 days trying to perfect this tournament, and spent a whole 3 hours non stop playing this thing to get it done, so 3 hours on and i crack it...
My Global Ranking score didnt even go up by 1000 points? WTFFF!?!?!??!!!
I improved my time by a whole 36 seconds :/

I also ran through Technique again because i havnt in a while and improved my time by a wholee 3 seconds, improved my time by a second on Dreamscape too...i must have improved a bit since then.

So improving all of them and i still havnt moved back from 8th to 7th :/
and the guy infront of me is only about 1000 points ahead of me before i done those...wtf.

so did you figure out exactly how many you points you DID get for it then?

i would have thought you'd have got well over a thousand but... obviously not!

i did the height flipper game and improved by 5 metres and that gave me over a thousand points. i don't know what your score is like in that but might be better going for the skill games.

I don't know...maybe it's because i already got a really fast time of 4:01 before i attempted the tournament, therefore improving it to 3:25 didnt give me much points because i already nearly got the maximum 200,000 points by getting that 4:01 run..?

hmmm, yeah could be that.

if that's the case, unlucky fella...

I need to distribute my updated calculation spreadsheet -- will let you see exactly how many points you would get for different scores/times.

Theres already a complete one made by Jarr33te?

And whens the DLC one coming?

Megatrain is compiling/has compiled the +DLC one..

[rlmergeuser]

Yes, I made a new version of the spreadsheet, including the DLC content.

The major changes over Jarr33te's version (besides DLC and overall layout) is the built-in ability to see the improvement you would get by:
1. 0-faulting a track
2. Getting a platinum time
3. Getting a "record" time

You can see these all at once without having to manually enter the "what-ifs" for each track.
It has a column that allows you to put in the "track record" so this last value can be calculated.

I also have columns to allow you to track your "rank" on the leaderboard for each track. These don't automatically calculate, of course, and they get out of date pretty quickly, but it is still useful to see.

The summary page also calculates a chart like the one in my sig (not graphical, though, just text).

Its nearly ready for public consumption, if I can get one or two people to look at it, enter their values, and make sure it works.
