Hi, i'm Cap'tain roc, i have recently restarted play 0.a.d after 1 year of inactivity. Nevertheless, I have noticed something we could upgrade, and that's the rank(ing) system.
Honestly, how the rank is made (ranked game > you win you take points > you lose you drop points) isn't the problem, however, the podium almost didn't change (after 1 of inactivity). So, i was thinking, why not make a system that all 1 or 2 months, scores resets or something like that.
Why i want to do that ? Let me explain :
-> This mechanic will permit to see who can stay the longest on the top (and not have inactive people who stay at top).
-> Give another goal on the game -> each season/period you have "something" to do
-> It could give access to others ideas such as -> reward like a status/grade -> seasons/league tournaments
And finally, one last question is : How we should "reset" the points ? I have some ideas :
-> We choose a stage of points (like 1500), and in each end of season/period, you reset to this stage (which is 1500).
-> We choose a stage of points (like 1500), and in each end of season/period, you keep the half of all the points above 1500. Exemple, i have 1800 points, the season reset -> 1500 + 300/2= 1650
-> We choose a stage of points (like 1500), after 1500 points, we set a step each 100 points, and when the season reset, you go to the step before you. Exemple: I have 1587 points -> 1500 points ; Other exemple: I have 1812 points -> 1800 points.
I hope you found this idea cool, tell me what do you think about this concept?
