View Full Version : High Scores Idea - Not asking for a change of Rank


05-18-2002, 05:56 PM
Well, since Sentinel has been introduced with Artificial Inteligence, the idea of a High Scores may not be too far off. Because of lag, it's impossible to design a perfect ranks system, but a High Scores would have closer to perfect design to say who's the best. Now I'm not asking for the rank system to be replaced (which would probably make less people care about fighting each other), but I think it would be a good idea to have a high score along with it.

Now if a high score is made (since there's so many people here) there should probably be a limit of one high score per person since it would be pretty pointless if the top 100 high scores was dominated by a few players. And I guess a different place than practice mode should be used for a high scores because you can turn the sentinel's AI off, making the the high scores pointless.

If we do have a high scores, I believe these should be some of the basic things you get a score from:
1. Time remaining
2. Health remaining
3. Moves used more than 50 times (possibly lower) deduct from your score
4. Times you used your helper should deduct also

Well, please just consider this idea TMyApp.


As always, Thank you for your time.

sounds a little confusing to set up.

i disagree, i'm sure tmyapp has much more important things to do on the game rather than the high score system. the ranking system is not as significant as the game and the changes you want tmyapp to make are quite complicated. your score isn't that important

i readed it one time and i understand it perfectly !
it is no difficult to make, at least i think.
but i must ask you:
princevegetam: your score isn't that important
so why is there 4000 people fighting for the rank ?
at least it would make people fight for fun not for the stupid rank who is more and more difficult to keep. i mean look at me, i'm not playing for the rank, cause in a single day i start at 7xxx and the next day im about 9xxx !

i AGREE, the ranking system must be upgraded or be changed for something else !
anyway, that is so true that tmy has something else to do than worrying about the ranking system !

i think tmyapp should concentrate more on making the game rather than the high scores thing, the high score thing is expendable. what would you rather have? a good high score or a good game.
