'Individual Glory' Leaders Board

[StarTrekAlliance]

Please consider creating an ‘Individual Glory’ leaders board for World War. ‘Individual Glory’ would be earned during WW only, and perhaps a leader board for each age. Glory could be obtained based on how many stars a player achieved in their attacks during WW, the level of difficult given the age and XP of their opponent relative to the players strength, and deductions based on best attack against the players base. In other words, the algorithm should consider offense and defense. Perhaps the current alliance glory calculator could be modified for individual glory. This would be awesome, especially if your alliance is very inclusive and allows all players to participate in WW regardless of age or skill, which usually results in average alliance glory.

I recently read a complaint by another member who didn’t like the fact they had to take on noobs to their alliance, perhaps the addition of an ‘Individual Glory’ board would resolve such complaints.

‘Individual Glory’ would be cool because it would show the best players and bases across the ages. How awesome would that be? Another thought perhaps would be to have ‘Individual Glory’ leaders board for every age…that would be cool too!

Good idea but why not apply this to regular mp battles? Maybe it's just me but isn't the concept of individual glory incongruous in a game involving a team of players?

Side note: a good leader takes noobs under his/her wing, nurtures them, trains them, encourages them, etc. When did noobs become a burden to a good leader?
I'm guessing about the same time glory became important to a leader.

Yes - and we could call it “medals system”!

Medal-dropping would skew an individual system wildly....

I guess I see ‘Individual Glory’ obtained during WW as different. In WW, the way it could potentially work, is that you must use both your attacks or lose glory, more glory for tougher opponents relative to your own strength, plus WW is a more realistic test of offense and defense. The Medal count in MP, in my opinion, is too easy to bypass tough opponents without any penalty. Plus, in MP folks have a multitude of goals, from raiding to honing battle skills. I think we all have seen players with high medal count in MP but struggle in WW.

As to your side note, I agree 100%. As I mentioned, our alliance is very inclusive and we allow all who want to participate in WW, and encourage new players and unskilled to join the Wars...makes it fun for everyone!

One thing that could do in MP is have players lose 1 Medal for bypassing an opponent. In my opinion, bypassing an opponent is the same as surrendering so there should be a medal penalty. Having said that though, a con is that this method would favor the highest aged players who have no chance of drawing a more aged advanced player.

@Phil - Exactly! That’s why ‘Individual Glory’ would be exclusive to WWs only. We could potentially have ‘Alliance Glory’ and then ‘Individual Glory’ leaders board for each age.

Not really. The system could be designed to ignore any battle that lasted less than, say 10 secs.

‘‘The Medal count in MP, in my opinion, is too easy to bypass tough opponents without any penalty’’
Isn’t that the point about glory rather than using medals? The players that are interested in individual glory would take on that tough opponent rather than nexting or dropping. The system could ignore these short 5sec battles as only the ones not interested in glory would ‘drop’.
Let’s face it, there’s no individual glory in beating up lesser bases. Isn’t that your point about the glory system?

Manifesto - I’m thinking that ‘Individual Glory’ could be earned only during WW. The MP system already exists and is flawed in my opinion, due to no medal penalty for bypassing a base. MP and WW are two totally different animals and should have separate measures. The medal system alread exists for MP, but nothing for Individual measures for WW. I.e. ‘Individual or Player Glory’ for WW performance. Me thinks it would be cool!

Fyi, it's a good idea either way.
Wasn't trying to be a 'grinch' about it.
