A few details about T500

[Jappert]

And if you divide the player population in 4 equal pieces, you're not taking into consideration how active players are.

I can imagine people with less then 50k score are much less active or maybe don't even log on anymore. This would mean the gold and platinum levels get crowded even more.

[majofa]

That's what I was thinking... maybe put the cutoff for Platinum at 200k or 300k, then you have to work for it.

Rank 41, low in Gold League...
But anyway, this sounds interesting - I'm tuned in!

[teffy]

Actually you can have maximum upgrades by level 64 as it currently shows (I guess it will be changed).
4*1+5*4+2*10+1*20=4+20+20+20=64
So anything above level 64 won't get additional bonus.
If you make platinum league with level 60, you can make a FG powered 30 card deck. (After level 64 (135800 score) no backdraws at all)

wrong:
You can increase HPs in 5 HP steps, so:
20*1+5*4+2*10+ 20 =80 points.

Small idea:
Add "draw 1.5 cards "(or so) , in the way the AI5 draws cards.

uhm, no. I was actually considering that higher score players are more active.
I'll give you some numbers, these are the players that logged on in the last 48 hours, arranged by score.

Platinum (score >= 89500): 479 players
Gold (score<89500 and >= 19050): 2290 players
Silver (score<19050 and >= 4160): 3069 players
Bronze (score<4160): 7998 players

If I increase the platinum limit to 100k or more there would be no competition for the platinum top500, you just submit your deck once and you are good for weeks.

Oh I thought only the visible numbers were the different steps (just like for the other 3 options)

Idea: Double deck size, just like FGs? Double draw otherwise will only make sense for 40+ decksizes.... yeah makes sense

[Pineapple]

Double draw automatically doubles the deck size.

Still there's the problem that if I have, lessay, 89600 score, then I am left out from Platunum due to competition, while at the same time I am overqualified for Gold.
Do you plan on doing something about this? the same can be said about all the other leagues too.

Hmm.. related to that, let's say I have a 30 card deck. Then I increase my dexterity (double draw and deck size) and my wisdom to use 30 upgraded cards, what is the deck result? Will it be split 30 upgraded and 30 unupped or all 60 cards upgraded?

[Pineapple]

I'm pretty sure that wisdom only increases the maximum amount of upped cards you can put into the deck when deckbuilding, and then dexterity doubles the deck you built.

^^ That is a brilliant idea.  IIRC, the AI5 draws an extra card if it has 3 or less cards in it's hand; this would make an excellent 'middle step' in Dexterity.

[Higurashi]

I believe it's 2 or less.
