Leaderboards Alteration

Leaderboards Alteration
Posted 2020-12-07 08:02:26

Ok so I'm aware this has been suggested in other ways before, namely things like leaderboards for different generations and such but I had a more immersive idea. 

This is just a light idea I'm tossing out, I WILL be coming back to this time edit and elaborate more 

But basically it's this


I raise Dairy Goats. We participate in things like milk testing, conformation scoring, and of course-shows!! That gives us 3 main categories of "leaderboards" and then those leaders are broken up by breed and age. I dont really think we need a million leaderboards by any means BUT I did have a idea for a small bundle of Leaderboards. The reason I want to propose this idea is because I feel it breaks Leaderboards into categories where specific goals can be achieved versus two Leaderboards for stats only. It puts more emphasis on specific styles of breeding (color, production and stats) and offers ALL types of players a chance to land on the Leaderboards. 

Not all of these would have to be implemented by any means, just a few ideas of what it COULD look like aside from just generational boards or stat board's. 


Leaderboard A: Stat Leaderboard aka what we have now (personally I propose bundling the 2 stat boards, just personally dont think 2 overall stat boards are needed in this layout)

Leaderboard B: Wisest Herbalist Stat - a leaderboard that only considers Wisdom and Smarts stats on wolves marked Herbalist only. (This does mean removing from the rank would eliminate your board spot until you added them back up, I'm not sure how exactly it would work?) Or maybe just Wisdom and smarts stats 

Leaderboard C: Frequent Scouter Stat - A leaderboard that uses the collective time a wolf has scouted. More hours you scout, higher you rank. (I dont think staying as a hunter is needed for this, since it saves?)

Leaderboard D: Successful Hunter Stat - A leaderboard that counts a individual wolves successful hunt count (Dont think staying scout would be needed for this either since I assume the hours scouted are tracked and saved?)

Leaderboard E: Color Rarity Stat - A leaderboard that collects a wolves base, marking and other color information and ranks them by the canines with the lowest collective rarity percentage. (Wolf with the most rare color bundle being 1st) I know these stats exist it's just players can't always see them except for the bases. Empty slots are marked extremely common. 

Leaderboard F: Most Pups Produced Stat - A leaderboard that ranks wolves by how many pups they produce in their lifetime

This would be neat! Having some more fun categories to go for would be a lot of fun

id love this; itd be more interesting to look at (especially the colour rarity board!) and would include a lot more play styles than just whos gunning for highest stats (perfectly valid, but not the only route to take). honestly when i first noticed the leaderboard we have now i was kinda disappointed and never really bothered with it again lol

I respectfully disagree. One single stats leaderboard would be fully dominated by lead wolves. Scouts, hunters and other roles simply can never achieve the stat levels a Lead wolf can; the current oldest scouts are just hitting now the levels that the OG Leads were maxed out at during Early Access. If you combine the LBs for Leads & other wolves you will effectively shut out all other roles from ever achieving LB status. On the two current LBs, Mimic (900+) and Echo (1100+) are siblings who were one stat apart at birth. Echo is #2 on the main LB and Mimic, at #1 on the scout board, has no hope of hitting the lowest level of the main LB because scouts basically are soft-gated at L20 and those +1 bonus stats are few and far between. It took her many times longer to get to L20 than it did him.

That being said, I really like the idea of successful hunts / scouts / recipes completed for those various roles. That was suggested in a couple of the other topics in this forum and I wholeheartedly agree.

The Pups Produced LB is given the side-eye by some in that overpopulation is already an issue. But if someone wanted to breed a ton of pups and chase them at birth just to get LB status, who's to say they can't do it? Look at Kylian, a stud that already has over 2k pups but less than 700 living (I think, last time I counted anyway), because most of their pups are for a project and get chased off when they don't meet the goals. That wolf has bred 2k+ pups but has not flooded 2k+ pups onto the market. I can understand why people object to the idea of mass breeding being rewarded, but honestly it doesn't matter that much to me - I can avoid breeding to them or buying any of their descendants if I don't want to, as can everyone else.

In short: don't support combining the current stats LBs, do support rolling out additional boards. The game has felt a bit stalled of late and it would be nice to have some new goals to strive for.
