Soooo!
Your boy Crystal finally got down to polishing down the program that
@Hashbrowns wrote. The rankings look crude for now, but they are working (at least they should be).
A little bit of explaination:
If you want to be listed in the rankings, please tick the box next to "Show only character's achievements to others" in game. You can find it by pressing esc -> interface -> social. This is also necessary if you are only interested in HK rankings, so it won't mess up with achievement ones.
If you want to be removed for whatever reason, just PM me. If you want to be added, please comment down this thread.
Please check if you're not already on the list. If your account type is wrong (F2P or Vet), please PM me. If you see people that are listed as F2P but are obviously vet, or people that don't have "show only char achievements to others" ticked, please let me know.
If you have any suggestions, also let me know. If it's within my limited programming knowledge, I will implement it.
Hardcore ladder
You might have seen an empty ranking at the bottom of the page.
So, I thought a good way to refresh the F2P scene a little is to introduce the generally well known concept of Hardcore (HC) characters. The only difference between them and other characters would be, they only have one life. If you die
due to whatever reason, be it stupidity, disconnect or a bug, then you are out of the HC rankings. For now, you will stop appearing there, and I'm working on a feature where your name would just be crossed out but your current position will stand. It's not easy for me though so try not dying for now
So far, I decided that limiting Hardcore rankings to Achievements only would be healthier for the bracket. If I implement Honorable Kills HC rankings, that could potentially detriment the quality of games with people playing ultra safe or sitting in stealth all game. If there's interest, I will add HK hardcore rankings (it's pretty much a matter of a couple of minutes work),
however, then playing hardcore rogue or druid would be banned. Please let me know if you want HK HC rankings added. For now, when it's achievements only, rogue and druid are OK, but if HK HC are added, your achievement rankings rogue/druid would be disqualified.
There is only one Hardcore rule for now, and that is - don't die. This is not wow ironman challenge, you can use any gear and do any content you desire.
So, basically - I would like to know
- Do you have any comments / suggestions concerning rankings?
- Are there any bugs in the rankings?
- What do you think about hardcore F2P rankings.
Go, play, have fun! I will try to update rankings every day for the first week/two weeks, then they will be updated weekly.
