Actually, I managed to read the whole thread. The grammar and spelling really slowed me down, but I got to the end after a couple hours of work.
Have you read what you wrote?
really it took u that long just because i didn't use what some of u consider a smarter, more educated format? i do apologize for the barbaric writing method used but as a said b4 it was a spur of the moment idea and late at night.
When a lot more marks are in circulation, the value of each mark falls significantly, which is extremely unfair with people that used skill to obtain their marks.
yeah i have been rewriting the entire idea and even though that first minimalist post stated that u would have a CHANCE to get a mark perhaps i should have said, a small chance to win a mark. i have since rethought this part of the idea and based on other forums (not here) pple like the idea of a chance to win a mark if they have to work hard to get that chance. so i decided that a small chance (>25%) to win a mark every 5 prestige lvls would be more efficient.
Beating FGs isn't the ultimate goal of the game. FGs are just a way to make it easier to have enough electrum for what really matters: PvP. And it's best to make it easy to farm FGs so it is easy for anyone to play PvP.
To be honest im not sure at all what the ultimate goal of this game is, i mean surely its not to just gain enough electrum as fast as possible just to go play pvp is it ? I really don't understand why you would want to make a game so easy for anyone to play pvp. I think if there was a system to separate the players who play for fun from those who play for score then it would level the playing field and not just be the same ole boring stuff over and over.
Your prestige level ideas are not based on skill; they are based on score.
In theory it would be nice to play people of your skill, but you don't propose a good method of this.
So you admit that score is not related to skill at all, then why make such a fuss over such a simple thing as score?
i know i know score shows how good u are ....... lol.
This is why while rewriting the idea i came up with a system that would better fit the idea. Although not completely finished the idea is something like having 2 scores. score 1 would be your original score and would increase with your regular non prestige matches just like it does today. Score2 how ever would only increase slightly during regular matches until your first prestige lvl after which the only way to increase your prestige score therefore increasing your prestige rank would be to play other prestige players. Prestige leveling would be voluntary and prestige cards and marks would not be allowed in any regular matches except duels.
All prestige cards would be marked in some way rather it be a simple symbol on it or a coated surface/border of bronze, silver, gold, or even like a multicolored foil type coating. So other then a few rares a chance to win a mark or 2 and some different looking cards the only reason to prestige would be to further challenge yourself against opponents that are of the same or about the same skill lvl as yourself.
To me this would be a good way to have some sort of goal in PvPing other then score it will show that you are able to go up against and defeat higher skilled players. As for all your complaining RootRanger how about you make some suggestions to ways of improving this idea or even suggest your own idea instead of just shooting down something that isn't to your liking. I understand that a lot of you are in a place of "power" and would like to keep it that way so you don't want anything to change that. But just like any other game out there eventually people will get bored of the same thing over and over. We can get 100 new cards in the next week and it wont change the fact that the ones who can sit in front of a comp and play this game for hrs on end have a HUGE advantage over the casual players.
As for my writing silux: Writing in an appealing and ordered way is an high kind of education. has nothing to do with my education. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. I do not write on threads, forums, or post every day and in fact i have not had to write in a specific format since i was in school about 10 yrs ago so excuse me if im a lil rusty.
As always im open to suggestions and have yet to receive any thing other then mundane insults and complaints. I find this rather strange considering when the idea was posted same as it is here on another site people loved it but that site has no direct effect on what gos on here.
