SO Main - New Round Updates

[Saturn 7]

I can see Spayed's point about top 20 or top 5, as the top 10 has been an elite club which you have to work hard to get into. Only a select few have achieved that goal. But by the same arguement, it must be discouraging for many players who give up knowing they can never reach the top 10 and thus quit the game.
As far as the length of each round, once possible solution is to make them shorter, but halve the prize money, that way Emi isn't out of pocket.
The one thing that needed to be addressed is the number of people maxing, makes D Day a non event, especially for those that have max'd, or if all the top 10 max'd then non event for everyone!

I like the top 20 idea. It gives the other players something to look forward to.

[SirEmi]

Ok, so I see people stopped DDAY for now.

I'm interested if your alliance members want this update now to test it out or when DDAY goes red?
So please leave your comment about that.

Thank you.

[Cameron07]

emi you start dday... im tired of people pulling out and it restarting.. spayed has been maxed for a while now.. time for dday

[Spayed]

new players are not meant to make the top 10 unless they are good.. we dont have the depth in the game to make the top 20 anything but a joke..

when d day goes red.

please start d day emi, i have been maxed over a week.. and noobs just keep pulling out...

[Saturn 7]

Emi, one compromise I would like to put forward reguarding the top 20 in halls of fame, can you ensure that the top 10 are made more prominant. Either they are listed separately or the font/design makes it obvious of who the true winners of the round are.
As far as introducing the updates now, my personal feelings are that major changes shouldnt happen mid round, it sort of changes the goal posts mid game (plus Spayed can't attack anyone as he's max'd)

- auto remove mothership from Galaxy if player is inactive for 45 days, intel contracts removed on inactive player

Please add that update from wars to the SOMain server its needed not as much as it was for SOWars but still it would be useful on SOMain

its to easy to make the halls of glory as it is.. think about it.. do we really want new players that suck to he in a position of honour that the halls of glory is.

[Nephadral]

doubling the halls of glory slots double the amount of people who think they have a chance to make it in.  perhaps there will be a couple of rounds with noobs in it, but give it some time and i think the top 20 will be much more competitive as there will be a higher retention of players.

that is my two cents, for what it is worth

[Spayed]

no there will just be people that think they are already good enough to make it..

[Grondavor]

I agree with Nephadral.  Once people see that the top 20 are being recorded they will start trying harder to gain power hoping to make top 20. Before they werent trying as hard because they knew that they had no chance of making top 10.  That will make it so it actualy will be a competition for top 20 as well

The HoG idea sucks balls

[Saturn 7]

Then it's down to you mate to make them realize how good they really are

[Spayed]

why would it be up to me, im sick of teaching noobs that wont listen.. ask the same question over and over... complain that things are to hard and have them changed to make it easier... while people like me.. i have almost played the game longer then lightseeker.. i have to sit here and watch emi make the game easier for noobs and harder for me...

HoG idea is horrible. there just isnt the quality players playing anymore that would make it..

the 20th ranked player is ABI.. he has 28 bill power.. i have been maxed for a week and a half..

the 10th ranked player has 13 trll power and the 11th has 92 bill.. how can you even think of increacing the halls when all it will do is embarrass the game... its ridiculous..

[V]

My two cents...
HoG: Let's compromise. Have a Top 5, then have a link to the top 20 as "Honorable Mentions"...(as spayed said, rank 20 is ABI, and he does not even play...)

Nerfed workers: I think Emi is trying to make us decide between dedicating our segs to workers, or to our planet... will be interesting to see who chooses which : )

PvP updates: Cool! I just hope we can actually make a profit from PvP now instead of a consistent loss... Because that would be really neat.

Emi: The reason that there are so few players in this game now is because the game is totally unfair, and unbalanced. There are still exploits, and abuses that players use to gain an advantage over other players.
In order to retain players, you don't need to change the HoG to accompany a higher quantity of players, you need to get rid of multi-accounting. Before galaxy updates, having more than one account was not significantly beneficial. However, now, with galaxy updates, it totally is. It creates a totally unbalanced game when a player can use an alt to make money for themselves, pass money, multi attack, etc...
I know you say that a few of these are "against the rules" or not allowed, but Emi, be honest with me... when was someone last banned from this game for cheating!??!!?
I don't think there have been many; and I don't blame you, as with so few active players, banning even one could be a detriment to YOUR financial livelihood.
I believe, without a doubt, that if you only allow ONE account PER IP (STRICT exceptions for family members. If you need an example I will happily provide one), you will restore the balance in this game and bring back once again, the magnificence that was once Space Odyssey.
