A few details about T500

[teffy]

I believe it's 2 or less.

correct. I have just tested it.

[Higurashi]

Admittedly, it's pretty weaksauce. Halfway to x2 draw would technically be at 4 or less, but I'd say 3 or less is enough x)

That's some questionable math.
Yes, 7/2 is 3,5 =~ 4, but decks will have a low number of cards in hand much more often, especially if you build your deck with that in mind (aka with a little more pillars).

[Higurashi]

Your max hand size is 8, so.. not very questionable. As I already said though, 3 would be enough.

I'm a little baffled that I'm all the way at Lvl. 64 and I've only been playing since end of March/early April.  ???

Does t500 ever reset? If a deck is extremely good will it stay there "forever"

Can you have multiple decks in t500? ex. a submission the next day

Also i like your tier system. I think it would work very well

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.

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.

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.

If I understand correctly, your score only determines what kind of deck you can build (i.e. if your score is 89600, you can't build a deck with 200HP, 3x mark, double draw, and all upped cards, since you won't have enough points).  Once you submit a deck though, it no longer has anything to do with your score.  The only way it will get pushed out of top500 is if it loses too much.

There should be an expiration on decks that don't get pushed out - nothing drastic, but say a month or 1000 wins or something just to get them out eventually. Otherwise, after a while (particularly for the more heavily saturated leagues) we're going to run into situations where the t500 are people who spun a supernova or something else similarly extremely useful, and anyone who spins anything but a power card is going to get bumped out promptly.

Regarding the scoring on leagues, I actually think that bronze should start at 3k score or so and the levels should scale up from there. This will help the saturation somewhat, and tbh I don't really think the three digit score crowd is going to be able to field a particularly good deck at that point if they spin a base card that is anything other than whatever element they're playing at the moment. I could also see it encouraging new people to sell off their deck at a loss to build a deck for the league, which could pretty seriously damage their account if they do it a couple days in a row.

Also, really looking forward to it.

Your T500 deck will "age": after a few days it will start losing HP's.
The idea is to have a continuous stream of new decks entering T500 and old decks dropping out.

I am also thinking about making the reward system dynamic as well. If the bronze league is played much more than the silver league the coin reward for the bronze league will go down and the silver league reward will go up.
On the other side the chance to get a rare card will remain constant, after a few consecutive wins (6 for bronze, 5 for silver ... 3 for platinum) a special bonus spin is awarded with a high chance (maybe even 100%) to win a rare card.

Ooh, I like that a lot.

[Pineapple]

I don't think it should start from 0 score, but from 500 score. You could also have a quest after the 500 score one that tells you to spin the oracle and submit the high-score. But then the oracle would have to be locked until you complete the last quest.

I'm assuming that this means we will be more likely to get new cards now? Such as rare (not buyable) - yet not necessarily powerful cards?
Because I heard that rare cards were being delayed until T50 was fixed, yet you also specifically said you liked rares like nymphs (making people use their own decks).

Which I think would be awesome. Another fun way to distribute extra rares, which of course will become wildly popular in the first few weeks, and probably encourage some creativity if 6 or so of new rares are thrown in early.
And more unique decks in BL / CL !!!(You can tell that I'm a forumer when I don't say PvP1/PvP2)
