Vanilla scoops: USE THIS THREAD ONLY!Cherrypie Posted:
I believe that hard numbers for the base would simply cause this problem to happen again when the number of forums increase. Percentages for the base would be the best solution, in my opinion, although hard numbers might work for the adjustment.
One other part of the suggestion I forgot was that we could also use the forum difficulties instead of actual forums for target calculations. IE, if the target to earn scoops were 8 difficulty, then the scoops could be earned by pwning 2 level 4 difficulty forums, or 4 level 2 difficulty, etc. Obviously, these numbers are just for example and the real numbers used if this were adopted would be much more realistic when compared to the available forums.

New scoop flavor: I propose "Blood" scoopsjaycampbell Posted:
I’m not sure that it would really help with the balancing aspect of the Vanilla complaints, especially with the Switcheroo usage that I described in the stickied Vanilla thread. However, I think that a scoop based on incoming damage would actually be quite fun, and support this idea!
I don’t think it would be as beneficial to Trolls as to Emokids, simply because a Troll’s strength is to mitigate the damage taken and it appears that you want to track the damage applied. It might work better for Trolls if it is based on damage to equipment than outright Ego hits, but that might give more benefit to CamWhores depending on how equipment damage is tracked.
I’m not sure about your comment regarding antifreeze, I earn antifreeze on a regular basis, and I know players who completely pwn the antifreeze mechanic. (view post) |

Vanilla scoops: USE THIS THREAD ONLY!Escher Posted:
One other point to consider during the balancing is the affects of enormous amounts of vanilla have on other flavors. I started this last night during our raid without thinking it through, and now that I’ve considered it I realize that I’m about to pwn the entire Min Scoops system.
By utilizing Switcheroo’s during the raid, I’ve secured myself over 100 (now brought down to 100 via card purchases) scoops in Chocolate, Lemon, and Pistachio. If SotQR is able to pull off one more raid of the same proportions as last night, I will be able to earn Min Scoops with 100 of each flavor.
From what I understand, Min Scoops was intended as a medal possibility for people who are not able to compete with players/klans who are earning mbumive amounts of scoops. With just 4 Switcheroos at the right time, I’ve effectively removed this possibility from the casual gamer.
My own suggestion to fix this would be to not allow cards to be played (or possibly even purchased) for a period of time after Klan Vanilla scoops are earned. (view post) |

Vanilla scoops: USE THIS THREAD ONLY!I offered a suggestion last week that is a slight variation on the weighted scoop reward. Instead of adjusting the awarded scoops, adjust the number of forums necessary to achieve the raid reward. At rollout, Vanilla rushes required 100% of the forums available to be pwned to earn the scoops. While I would not enjoy 100% at this time, I think the number of forums required should grow as more forums are made available via forumbuildr. Perhaps a base of 75% of available forums, with an adjustment applied based on clan size. (view post) |

Damn! Look at the sisterhood go!Corion Posted:
Err, this wasn’t really a CamWhore exclusive thing we did. Flamers of Loathing managed to pull off a 177 scoop run last week, and I’m pretty sure they have more than just CamWhores in there.

Have any of you actually earned a vanilla scoop?Acid Flux Posted:
And before anyone thinks about mouthing off to CZ about this, they’ve already announced that they have a plan for re-balancing vanilla rushes, but need a couple more weeks of stats to be sure to get the balancing right. It’s in the Vanilla Re-Evaluation thread http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/3233 if you want to take a look at the proposal(s). (view post) |

Domination Ruinedflamin kooz Posted:
Now that’s a bit over-the-top. Officially, Evil_Trout has chimed in that the amount of vanilla earned in vanilla rushes are intentional and not a bug/cheat/exploit.
Now, if you would take the time to read some of the threads about re-evaluating vanilla, you’d see that Crotch Zombie is already looking into changing how vanilla rushes work. They’ve got an initial plan for rebalancing, and just need more stats before they implement it. If SotQR didn’t do mbumive rushes like this during the couple of weeks that Crotch Zombie is monitoring, then any re-balancing would probably be inaccurate. Just think, if they balanced the system for the 177 scoops earned by FoL last week and SotQR pulled the equivalent of a 360 raid, that’s almost twice the amount of scoops that the rebalancing would have accomodated!

Forum DifficultyVelveteen Posted:
I’m not sure. Log in to see images! I picked the new level 2 forum for some easy cred to get flezz tomorrow, and by the time I paid attention to how hard it was hitting me, I could no longer pwn another thread.
Yes, yes, I know. Bad Bubo, especially considering the SotQR project I am in. I just didn’t think a level 2 forum would be worth paying attention to until we specifically got to it, ya know? (view post) |

True, I hadn’t thought of that aspect. scratch head Geez, that’d be a lot of people to set watches with though.
As for the rest of your speculation, our Klan Leader has a thread where she’s errr…. puzzling over our current methods? I’m not suppose to comment on our methods outside of that thread. (view post) |

I’d second that idea! When the scoops hit a third of a thousand in an hour, a new bracket needs to be developed. (view post) |

Damn! Look at the sisterhood go!Acid_Flux, that method has been put out there by a couple of different people now. As I’ve told them, that is indeed one way of doing it, but it’s far from optimal and is not that simple in timing due to lag issues (especially tonight, when we managed to lag the server a couple of times by the number of sisters hitting at once). In my opinion, it would end up wasting approximately half to three quarters of the total visits available. It also wouldn’t generate 330 scoops in roughly an hour.
Now, I’m not saying our current method is the best or more optimal. We’re constantly revising it, and even tonight had some new issues that we’ll have to review (stupid tubmail). However, it is more efficient than the method you described here. (view post) |
