It's hard to enforce, but the way to make this game better is to eliminate more of the PGA. I've heard multiple chats stating they won't play the 2000 or 5000 tables because all the people do is PGA to get them points.

Mostly, it's not PGA, but the trucing that goes on makes people not want to play.

Team games would be interesting and eliminate the PGA since they are teamed already.

My #1 vote for change would be to increase the kill bonus on higher lever tables. The kill bonus is good a way to recuperate some of the loss when your luck is poor in a game.

1v1 tournies

Instead of higher point kills on dom tables I suggest a buffer against point loss. Eg 1 kill = -1/2 point loss and 2 kills = no point loss for place and score relies solely on dom. This would eliminate the abuse factor on high tables.

Trophies for kills and most wins.

Give some bonus for levels, Custom font, custom name color etc.

It's true that membership points are a big bonus but regardless of how easy they are to gain if you're good at tourneys, they're not that unbalanced as some non members think they are.

You really need to farm like 50 of them and gain over 1,5k/tournament to really compete for gold. This means you need to finish 3rd on average and play almost 2 a day EVERY single day.

The advantage WAS unbalanced before Ryan added kill bonusses and before the extra 3 freerolls were added to the daily shedule. In fact, they pump in way more points a day than the membership inflation does.

Even with the player pool shrinking a bit, you can see that the points needed for top 100 increased by 1 or 2k after Ryan added the 3 freerolls a day.

Imo, you can counterbalance the current membership advantage even more by adding 1 or 2 tournaments a day combined with higher kill bonusses on 2k and 5k. Most of this extra point inflation would find its way to the top players, being non-members and members that play top tables regularly.

Let's keep in mind that the members actually help to keep this game alive and free for the non members so it's pretty "normal" that they get something extra for their financial support. I would only change one thing to the member advantage atm: only award 1k bonus points for every player that joins a tournament and cap it at 7,5k like it is standard now. That way, you need 8 players at least to get the full bonus and for example, 5 players starting would only get a 5k bonus. The fact that members still get the full 7,5k bonus if only 3-7 players join is the only "unfair advantage" imo.

In conclusion, I would suggest to add a daily freeroll for the European timeslot (countering the current 3 for the American timeslot) and one extra middle wager (500?) a day + add 200/2k and 500/5k kill bonusses and your membership advantage would be more than counterbalanced again.

MORE TOURNYS AT EUROPIAN TIME? thanks

you should only be allowed to play 1 member tourny a day.

I said it.

Like everyone says,

scaled kill bonus
point caps on tables
more tournaments for Euro times

What about:
"bounty" kills, like a certain player (unknown to all players) is the mark, and there is a bounty bonus. It'd discourage weak ass flags

Higher risk tables and tournaments with knock out bonus

ELO server maybe?

You should update your copyright to 2014 on the site, Ryan. Thanks for continuing to give support the game~

Scaled kill bonuses should be running now.

0 table: +50
100 table: +50
500 table: +100
2000 table: +200
5000 table: +500

1) Jurgen, you can debate it all you want, the rationale for most high level players to leave is that member tourneys make it very hard for other players to compete for Gold. This is also the most common debate in the forum. Members have 2.5k to start plus 3 high paying tourneys a day. Non members cannot play most tourneys once they reached 10 to 20k.
So we need to decrease this unbalance. The easiest way to do it is to increase the number of 500 tourneys for non members to 3 a day at the same time as the free roll with same pay out as members. Members would still be privileged as they sit with much less players.

2) create an App to play on Smartfone, IPad...

3) Fix the early flag syndrome which destroys the fun of the game when not countered. Add a button, "buy a pair of balls" on the site for players like Vic, Gurg1, Rastaa, Skyler...

I am worried about 1 on 1 as it helps funnelling. We should make sure that games are recorded.

Thx

PS: do not forget that I would still be happy to buy your site.

Adding back point caps on lower tables specifically 0 tables, Cap off the 0 table maybe at 1k so we can get more use out of higher tables.
