Dom Score Change and Other Updates
Posted By: Ryan at 10:54 AM, Monday September 1, 2008 EDT
I'm still working on multi table tournaments and hope to test them this month to go live next. But I managed to get a few updates in for this month including an important but slight change to dom scoring.
In short: dominance scoring increases in value as the game goes on (but still caps off to avoid farming). The effect is that if you're knocked out early you will get less dom points than if you were to hang on for a bit (all things being equal). The goal of this change is to make comebacks a little more lucrative. Watch the dom meter and you'll see how things change.
Other small changes:
- chat box word wrapping fixed
- some db optimizations
- dom fixes for suicides (commit previous turn dom at end of round)
- sitting during game bug fixed
- dom max is 1/2 size of map
- new all player leaderboard (see top 25->click more)
- map sizes based on normal distrbution with a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 4 ( most maps will be around 35 +-4 with some outliers)
- fixed a bug that caused tables to lock up

But what was wrong with the old leaderboard? Showing TOP 100 provides more information than only showing TOP 25 (and it was more convenient so see your position immediately and the people who are around your position rather than clicking your way through your position) With the new leaderboard, you also don't get to see your avatar... Can we at least have the TOP 100 back? Please? :) |

at 2:37 PM, Monday September 1, 2008 EDT just wondering, are the new trophies going to be implemented this month? (i.e. most kills, most 1sts, etc...)

at 1:27 PM, Tuesday September 2, 2008 EDT The dom suicide fix doesn't seem to help for the cases where the suiciders are last or near the last in the round.
Could you take into account stack size into the dom equation. A stack of 1 counts as 0 dom a stack of 2 counts as 1 dom a stack of 8 counts as 64 dom. Then short stacks don't get dom points |
