    I quit reading after a couple of belles post. She's just clueless as they come.

    I've been working with the calculations of overall lb and I'm just going in circles. Nothing adds up right based off what the kawmunnity knows to be the standard overall lb formula.

    Clan Prestige is based of the ELO ranking system and it works great. Very simple and easy to calculate. It would be pretty much impossible to use the ELO system for the individual lb categories but surely there can be a simplified way to calculate overall lb.
     
  2. iProphet is completely right, there has to be a simple way to calculate Overall lb that makes sense.
     
  3. , but I would like to see the Battles LB take into account only PvP actions not PvE.
     
  4. Do you really think KaW has taken track of that?

    Anyway it would just be the people who have hit the most OSFs.
     
  5. If nothing else but the combination of spy actions with battles would provide a true standing of your kingdom.

    Or the removal of spy actions completely. Because as we can see it is way over influential on a players ranking.

    Overall build plus ally's should be what determines overall. All the other bs should be its own separate thing like value lb.
     
  6. Yes spy actions play way too big an influence on rank. Sad to say but there are players that are literally scouting there way to the top.
     
  7. It's not my preference, but I think a spy leaderboard is a fair concession. Let's recognize different roles in different ways.
     
  8. When you email the devs ss their reply op :)
     
  9. Personal strength cannot be displayed by any leaderboard.
     
  10. If you want to see who has the highest ally bonuses, it's not hard to find out. If you want to see who can use their bonuses the best that is something that cannot be displayed^
     
  11. Lol noobs complaining about Lb that they will never be on thats so funny
     
  12. ¿Dónde está la prueba? Esa es mi razón.
     
  13. U think belle was saying mixed build lb n nob lb as an idea for u to submit? Hello!! Belle was going to the extreme because this is ridiculous. OSFs choose not to b recognized. Y on earth would any spy want a spy lb? what!?! Wait a sec. Noobs! Ah yes! Let's make a list of the top 200 spies so everyone will have a quick link to FARM THEM!! Great idea iprophead!
     
  14. Hi kethry, I'm iProphet, long time spy main(as in longer than youve been playing kaw) and as one of the very few actual true spy main players I've oftener wanted to see an lb for most whatever spy action you choose.

    You're just as dumb as belle. It doesn't matter if there's an lb that tells you I've got more spy wins than anyone else. It doesn't effect mechs of play whatsoever nor will it ever let you know when my spies are ramming you real sweet like, unless I fail.

    Now changing profile to show spy actions would totally do that and piss me as well as most spies off now you can track spies actions and there aviod about any major strip just baking tracking them. It would ruin the last the kaw has going for it that is actially war. We want our secrecy and luckily a spy win lb doesn't give that up.


    I said in another thread but will say here too since its about this.

    Accoring to the findings of me and my crew of inner city rejects, you lot give spy actions far too much credit. 1 atk = about 10 steals which = about 50 scouts. Those numbers arent dead on but very close and much closer than this whole "scout your way to the top" theory.

    As hard as it is to believe, there are spies in this game that DO want to be in the leader board and that is why the present system gives big weight to spy actions because some hansels gathered together about a year or so ago and petitioned the devs so they do appear in the leaderboard. Look at the top 200 and you will find some spy builds on there.
    A am personally not a big cheerleader for a spy leader board, but I do recognize their contribution to the game and therefore suggest separating the leaderboard to properly do this.
