I think what we really need is an ongoing ladder.

A 1v1 "TEAM" ladder, you you can have say 3 people max and represent ur clan. As well as 2v2 and 4v4 LADDER.

Leave it as a running ongoing ladder, and set a future date for a TOURNAMENT. The community is small, unorganized and competition is lacking.

I feel if there were ladders open leading up to a "cup" or what ever it would be way more successful.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY

Have the rules nailed out better. And fix up a better website. That one is ridiculously messy and hard to navigate. It took me ages to find where to even find the chat place to "select maps" - This should also be in a menu, not verbally in chat.


We appear to have quite a bit of die hard AA fans here and we should put something solid together.

are we reinventing the wheel?
We have a player toplist here... http://battletracker.com/index.php?page=AAOPlayerToplist&type=rank
and here... http://battletracker.com/index.php?page=AAOPlayerToplist
and here... http://battletracker.com/index.php?page=WhoIsPlaying
and a torrent of stats here... http://battletracker.com/index.php?page=AAOTrackerStats

There is nothing stopping us trawling this data and adding it wherever we want.

With the first part of your first post I agree with.

Saying "extremely silly process selecting map eliminating 1 at a time then blah blah. " You were aware of the rules before the tournament started. I have posted the rules literalily everywhere and now is not really the time to complain about it. If you had posted your comments BEFORE the cup started then we could have changed it maybe. The rules are here for a reason and they will be followed at all times.

The website is actually quite easy to navigate through. Clicking through the menu : League - Tournament - Season 1 - Brackets. I cant see a way how to make it even easier. You are repeating ladder ladder ladder over and over again. Did you read my post before yours? I mention there that the ladder is being created right now and will be online within a week.

Enough with this topic. If you have any problems about the cup come to me on ts or send me a pm about it.

Sounds easier than it is. We always appreciate help so if there is someone who has the skills to unite all players he can step up and help us.

maybe talk with server owners: they can put some ad in the console... where normally the rules scroll down, add a small ad?
all things can help

We can put adds in the assist client, either in the news section above the training/deployment buttons. or we can have a popup message on logging into assist.

The issue with battle tracker is the age of those stats and how far they go back. What percent of people actually even play anymore?

Thats why I thought it would be good to keep top lists CURRENT and relevant. - daily, weekly, monthly and so on.

In the past I have also brought up a mass honor reset, and even tracker I feel should have been. But obviously it would have been ideal to happen back when assist 1st came about. Someone will always be PO'd.

But for a tight nit community you need these things imo.

Perhaps we could implement a NEW tracker. That is combined with a ladder and tournament system. All within assist. Keep the old battle tracker, or phase it out. I dunno but im guessing we have what, under 1% of tracker accounts are even used still? Likely way under that number.

Its all hopes n dreams

A small link to "Fun League Community - Competitions and events" or "Tournaments and ladder" or something like that inside assist would be for sure a good thing. I wrote spanky a message about the rank icons which we already talked about Jonny. If we get that to work that would a nice ad inside the game, motivating people to join and get the "special badge". I hope spanky can help us writing a small script that would read the current ladder leaders IDs and you would get the csv file that is auto updated when there is a change on the leading position.

I cobbled this together;
http://aao25.com/stats/top_player.php

The information output is in this order:
Player Name
Total (leader + goal points)
Honor
Goal Points
Leader Points
KIA
Enemy

Right now, it just grabs all the players currently in-game, grabs their scores and then sorts them all to pull the highest scoring Total. Not a great way to pull the data since if a new match starts, they're back to 0 points. To perform a real top list with multiple time lengths, it would basically mean building a tracker. If that ever happens, it should be easy. Right now though, this is what we got. Good enough to replace "Latest Member" in the stats bar?

One thing I could do to make this a bit different is to put this info into a database and then pull the top 10 scores from the database. That would mean it would be a top 10 list of players who had the highest score during a match.

Could you make a list with the most 'kills of the week' or something like that?

Thats an awesome start and would be cool!  I think ideally there should be some sort of combination of kills per week, frag rate, and kills per hour.

Some sort of formula, and list the top 10 or so.

Need to include kills per hour because people can camp and get massive fr and people like that quite frankly degrade this game and deserve to be shunned not glorified.

For example this would produce a true listing of what I at least consider a "top" player.

Taking all those into account you rule out or at least penalize people who camp like tards. People who have no job or life and play all day. AND take into account good team work. ie score to roe.

There should also be a minimum kill count, and time played to qualify as well. - to rule out someone getting 1 really good round lol.

Give equal value to those 3 stats, and penalize for score to roe ratio or something :)




I think all that needs to be taken into account where as "top kill" merely symbolizes any decent player who happens to have the most free time that week. Ya know what i mean?
