    So let's discuss this here. This thread is mainly for covenant leaders but any member can vote and propose ideas on the scoring system. Last war, we had an average of 200 points per player, with the lowest ranging from ~100, to the medium and most credible ones ranging around 300 and the crazy and unbelievable +700 points.

    Either way, the scoring system needs a serious balance. What I'm proposing is a simple points cap of 400, due to experience of past wars some members I know were working super hard to reach this number that seems almost impossible to get. Also I'm proposing a simple scoring system for the invaders and gravelords based on our past mass invasions and the rarity of the target.

    1 point per host/DW/DM
    2 points per SoV/guilty host/phantom

    Gankers, 2vs1 and 3vs1 points could be added but they aren't needed if we want things simple. Doughguy came up with the genius idea for the coop points system which I'm alterating a bit.

    1 for passing one area
    2 for invader during a coop
    3 or 5 points per boss

    This scoring system got around 100 points average per player, with the highest being 200 I think. Maybe bosses should score more. I leave this open for discussion.

    A point cap is a good idea so people who have too much time on their hands (amos) dont score 04385729438570 points.

    I prefer the Timed Scoring suggestion Rooster made to a specific points cap. If we are limited to two or three hour sessions then it becomes very clear which points are valid and which arent. I this way people can still score well.....just not ridiculously well.

    Oh and I forgot. Each covenant should do their respective roles (looking at you Viral). This means Gravelord will only gravelord, NK should only coop, Dried Finger only host and invaders invade.

    How big is "an area" for the co op. I still think that co op is under valued.
    although it varies massively between zones. (Eg archives and PW are good co op zones whereas stuff like LI would be terribad)

    And I think possibly hosts should get 3 points a piece and Darkmoons 2.


    And just out of interest. what do we want to decide who wins wars? do we want it to be skill. or number of active players. or time invested. or what? because that effects a few of the parameters I think....

    I thought you were going for 400, seeing as last wars you worked super hard to reach 300.

    Indeed. however I think at most one dedicated player should be able to equal out 3/4 people who put in a nights worth of play. otherwise it just gets silly both lore wise and play wise.

    honestly i think there shouldnt be a cap but keep an idea of how long players are on because it would seem a lil ridiculus to get 500 pionts in an hour or 2 but if there had to be a cap 500 would be my vote.

    Most people don't get anywhere NEAR the cap. Every time I see the points being posted in war threads, it's typically in the hundreds, if that.

    This is an interesting topic. Basically there are a number of ways this could work, it all depends on what you want to reward. As it is now(or was during the Duke's event) A very dedicated person could accrue so many points because over a 24 hour period they have thousands of chances of invading/hosting/Cooping/GLing what have you. This system directly rewards time investment over any other parameter. Skill, number of members, these take a backseat to sheer volume.

    If you impose a stricter time limit. (Say 3 hours total over the 24 hour period) Then number of active members moves to the front, as 15 members on side A get 45 total hours while side B's 23 members get 69 full hours to earn points in. It's the same problem as before, Quantity is valued over quality.

    Then again this is Honorabu duels in the burg, this is WAR. All things being equal the side with more people would normally win. So it's hard to say what's "Fair" in this situation.

    Honorabu warfare? In my covenant wars? more likely than I'd like.

    I still vote for the 3 time groups over, so it can be a bit more strategic than "gather everyone and have them sit their for 24 hours with a constant flow of blood to their coffee stream".
