Leaderboards in Evo | Forums

the big debate about ajuvix's score a while back.

Jeesh WILLYUMS, I edited my post to remove the controversial stuff and you spell it out.

Gosh. Now it's all YOUR FAULT!

Im cool with the points system now.

But i would like seperate global, global dlc, track, touney, and skill game leaderboards.

How do these time based scoring methods handle the case when player hasn't played though all tracks/tournaments yet? Does your score (total time) get worse the more tracks/tournaments you complete?

Only around 20% of the players complete all the tracks (all extremes)... and only a few percent of players complete the Midnight Club. The scoring system cannot assume all players have a score at every track/tournament.

Good point. Thats why i say just keep the scoring system we have now. Just have a seperate leaderboards for each individual aspect of the game, as well as a total combined for global and global DLC when any DLC comes out.

Skill games should have less affect than tracks and tourneys should have the most.

Couldn't agree more

That makes too much sense, sir.

1. Your overall time won't appear until you've completed every track.
OR

2. Every incomplete track = 29:59.999

This would work. but I think the points system would fine with some fine-tuning...

[RetiredRonin]

I really think skill games should be 1/2 the points of race tracks, and tournaments should be double.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the point system works better because each track is weighed equally. For example, improving by a few milliseconds on a beginner track would be just as effective as improving by a few seconds on an extreme track.

If the global leaderboard was time-based, then it would be pointless to try to find shortcuts and improve on easier tracks. ( I remember hearing this from a dev way back )

Total time would be a nice personal statistic though.
