I think that the clan rankings should be irrelevant of the absolute stat rating, which means, for example, that nickname would contribute to the whole clan rating if and only if he would be in the first n_i of players on the server, where i would distinguish between gray and gold players. This constant could be set by simply comparing the stat distributions of the both groups of players and thus choosing a reasonable one by the percentage from the whole number of players in the given group and their density. This way the problems with increasing/decreasing amount of good/bad players would be solved. The number n_i could be calculated for example once a day and posted at taorankings, with the sentence like: "If you have at least /insert(stat of the (n_gold)'th player) stat as a gold, or /insert(stat of the (n_grey)'th player) as a grey, you contribute to your clan ranking."

Just to let you know that most of the new gray players don't know anything about taorankings when they first start.

That's why we fill them in any time possible.

This is not true. 6 players ranked an average of 250th are equal to 1 person ranked 1st.

Oh goodness, you're right. Bad guestimation there. I guess a clan with 100 ranked players would always deserve to be ranked above my fictitious 300 point clan. Hoping my new math is correct, it would take the bottom 24 players to make exactly 300 points.

EDIT: Just tested my math using your averaging trick (although I'm not sure why I have to count zero). 0-24=25 slots multiplied by an average of 12 points is 300 points.

You shouldn't use zero.

The average number of points was 12.5, not 12.
12.5*24=300

I think if they put the acc. up-grade like Legends more people will like that, and will up-grade more , they would like to pay one time and that it not every single month . I think it will be better for the people that are running the server and for people that are plaing it .

Sure it's better for us.

But not for the people running the game. It's a one time payment, and after a while no one will upgrade anymore and TAO will run out of money to keep the game going, most likely what happened to Legends.

5$ monthly gives them the money they need to keep the company going, and also, a company needs a profit, voila the profit.

Although I would like the 10$ or 20$ payment just once, it'd give FPS a better chance of dying.

I still don't understand why people think the 1 time payment is better than what we have. You pay $5 for 2 golds. And one of those golds lasts forever...

I have a question? The old rankings 1st place was 100 points, 10th was 90 points,100th was 1 point. I still count the top 100 when I look at rankings but jw how this 300 thing works. Does it just go to 1st place = 300 points? 10th 290 points and 300th being 1 point? or is it changed?

Sebba · 11-05-2009, 05:24 AM

Your thinking about the points the clan gains or the actual rating of the players?

It hasn't changed. Your reckoning is accurate.
