Ok

so i know solos arent the most popular aspect of this game. but.....

how about a ranking at the end of round for solos? so like a top value ,top eff or whatever the rankings are now?

i realise that solos cant do the points system but maybe the others?

also probably just Pure solos as others could get huge then disband the ally.

thoughts? :x-mas:

Re: Solo rankings at round end?

Yeah this sounds quite nice maybe not a big list maybe the top 10-25 or w/e because i mean i would like to know how i did in compairison to people playing at a level playing field as me, same as alliances get to see how they did compared to other alliances why shouldn't solos be able to see how they did up against other solos?

I think pSolo's should get their own ranking, maybe Top 10 value or somethink like that

Yup I agree with this one... Especially now that there are lots of skilled solos around (garrets party for example) ;)

Re: Solo rankings at round end?

this is a great idea, i hate it when the rankings come out and the alliances that stayed private means u don't know how well some1 did, if they were 20th in a private alliance that came 2nd then its still good, but not as good as a soloer who came 20th on their own.
i finished off the portal last round but not by a huge margin, and it annoys me that the solo's get no real recognition when their opposition (as it were) the alliances get 3-4 rankings all to themselves

Re: Solo rankings at round end?

I agree. The companies ranking for valuation are not an accurate reflection imho of the individual skill in that rank when you talk about allianced players. Often the winning alliance on valuation offers most of it's members a portal spot for valuation even if there are plenty other players that would do much better than them given the chance. They deserve the alliance rank in that category no doubt, but when it comes to individual merit it's not right.
I would go as far as removing portal ranks for allianced companies and only leave it for psolo's. Effectiveness it's a rank where a solo might be able to compete with an allianced player so i think currently that's the only accurate rank for individual companies.

Re: Solo rankings at round end?

This is alliance game and as such it should stay.
Portaling for solo should be insanely hard not something you do by sitting half of round on some acres and spend at end.
At most stat for #1 solo nothing else, and thats at most not at least.

* 1,125 IDs have been active in this world in the last week.
27 alliances, probably not all full. You do the math :)

Well maybe portaling should be indeed insanelly hard, not having an inactive(ish) account in top value alliance and portal spot assured in valuation by sitting half round on some acres and spend at end :p

Nope, tried but I can't find reference anywhere in the manual to this being an alliance game. I see that alliances are allowed in it, an alliance rules section under the solo rules menu... ;)

Now why would you be against an end of round top solo list?????

just because some enjoy playing in alliances doen't mean its for everyone

theres loads of elements of the game that make it fun for alliances and easy for those in alliances to reach the top an effectively stay there

i personally think this would make the game a bit more rewarding for pure solo players but also harder as alliance players may try to land rape you so you have to rebuild which is always fun :)

Great idea....as long as it is only viewable at end of round. Otherwise it will probably be used to find solo targets.
Quite obvously :p it would be pretty stupid to have an "Top Value (solos)" during the round... it would pretty much mean that there aren't any top 300 solos for the start lol :p
