Domination Enhancements Thread

Adeptus Posted:

All the current stuff in the OP seems fine and dandy to me, except for the three under the DOMINATION CHANGES heading, which I really don’t like.

‘Cos of this. I’ve heard there’s a lot less interference nowadays, so it may not be such a problem though.

The main intent of raiding has always been to give raiders/klannies an advantage over playing domination solo. However, with the way it works today people can (and do) raid for hours, getting virtually unlimited scoops from it.

With the current solo scoops, you can get 72 vanilla scoops (1-4 visits yields 8 scoops, then for the remaining 8 visits you’d get 8 scoops each = 8 * 9).

With the proposed changes you would have 10 people in a raid with 12 visits each, that’s 120 visits. 1-12 visits yields 1 scoop, then for the remaining 108 visits you’d get 1 scoop each = 1 * 109).

So raiding would give (in theory) 37 extra scoops over solo vanilla. That should be a large enough benefit to still raid while keeping it competitive for solo players. It would also make the time commitment to raid significantly less and therefore more enticing for more players. There is also Lemon and Pistachio which you can get at the same time too (in both cases).

This also lends itself quit nicely to the possibility of having a bonus for raid interference and running multiple raids at once (from the same klan and from different klans). But I’m still thinking about how to build this properly so it doesn’t get exploited.

If, with these rules, there is too much interference and raids don’t get any benefit, we will up the raid group limit to 15 or something to balance.. but..

The main intent of raiding has always been to give raiders/klannies an advantage over playing domination solo – but not make it impossible for solo players to compete.

Ties & Medals changes

I will see about extending the “no ties” to the top 3 brackets as you make a good point.

Until the other planned changes for domination are implemented this is a temporary solution to make the game more even.

Please archive old domination stall postings

Signed.

Would you guys like post the list?

Nope. It’s on there and has been ordered based on priority.. balance issues and new cards/goals to come first.

All in good time.. all in good time.

If it wouldn’t be too inconvenient maybe the admins could devote a little diskspace to archiving old domination stall postings. This would allow people (with limited social lives naturally) to point back to previous weeks and relive their past glories or renew old grudges.

It seems it would be at least as useful as idc logs.

Signed, will add it to the list.

Ties & Medals changes

With regards to Min Scoops…

markchd Posted:

Wish I’d gone for min scoops on my main while it was still worth the trouble.

So now that it’s only worth 1, like every other goal, it’s no longer worth it?? I’m with Scully on this.

scullyangel Posted:

As to the min scoops reduction – this is long overdue. Anyone with experience knows that this is a considerably safer medal to go for, since you can keep yourself out of bumhole range. Doing your normal vanilla with pistachio over the week you only need 2 switcharoos and gambling to hit 30 – 60 minimum scoops. It is absolutely no more difficult than any other medal, and as I said often safer.

And there you have it.

markchd Posted:

Odd thing, the peens coming for medal multiples of 4 no longer makes sense. Peen just got harder to get. Midseason.

Good point considering a single player can only win 3 medals in a given week now. I’ll see if I can push forward a new medal. That should help you on your quest for peen.

Ties & Medals changes

Balloon Posted:

So we can still have ties in the top brackets? Not that it will affect me much, I won’t be there for long.

And min scoops is the trickiest to get so I thought 2 was reasonable. Ah, well.

Yeah, I wanted to restrict ties in the top bracket.. maybe for a future release.. when there are more medals.. for now, ties for all!

And yes, I agreed with you that it was the hardest to get.. that was my original justification. The mbumes don’t seem to agree. So be it.

Amasius Posted:

Can’t say that I like ties but only one medal for min scoops makes sense. And now give us the destruction medal please. Log in to see images!

This is definitely in the pipes, we are just working through prioritization and benefit. There was an immediate need for more medals and more winners, voila! New goals and cards to come.

question about names

JioCaged Posted:

For future reference, are characters like /, [, > allowed in names?

“Sorry, but your name can only contain letters, numbers, dashes, underscores and spaces”

Lack of Shielf Cards?

No changes have been made, it’s just poor luck (and no, the “Luck” attribute doesn’t affect this).
