    How you doing in the "League"

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Moe Overload

    @_shal_ Very similar story for me. I finished 67th in S2. I was the lowest leveled player last week, this week I'm the second lowest leveled player. Although a quick glance shows a handful more winnable fights, I've decided to tank this week. My target is 90th place, so I can win first place in S1 next week, and come back to S2 stronger than ever.

     

    I'm going to be sacrificing a fair bit of EXP this week, but I figure I'll more than make up for it the week afterwards.

    In retrospect, this was pretty much inevitable. If we're going to continue to get epic days, those of us that still haven't spent any kobans on EP are going to clear it out in the course of 7 more epic days if we assume the patter still holds (two new girls show up and four permanent EP girls are on bosses. With that loss of revenue, they moved event girls into their own pachinko to continue the cash flow.

    Great Pachinko, not Epic Pachinko. Epic is good for girls. Great is for equipment. You need to accumulate cash, not kobans to improve your items. You get cash by upgrading the affection of your girls.

    Also, it's a 1 in five chance of getting the right mono-stat item, you can also get a useless Ego or Harmony item.

    Identifying the Dicktator league brackets

    Season 12 on the test server has 4 W3 leagues with 112 to 113 people each. The league sizes should be:

    • W1: 6 or 7 leagues (I've identified four of them with my alts)
    • W2: 6 leagues 5 leagues
    • W3 4 leagues

    We should have 480 players in W3 next season (4x120), unless W2 is down to five leagues, in which case we'll only have 465 (4 x 116-117).

    I mentioned the possibility of only 5 W2 leagues on the test server, but I just confirmed it. W3 has only grown by fifteen players to 465 players (3x 116 + 1x 117), which means we only had 5 W2 leagues last season. My estimates for this season:

    • W1: 7 leagues (I've identified four of them with my alts (3x 101 + 1x 102))
    • W2: 5 leagues (no details)
    • W3 4 leagues 465 (4 x 116-117)

    I estimate that the next season will have the 480 players in W3 that I predicted for this season

    I ended up getting a ~500 point equipment upgrade halfway through the season, which enabled me to move all but one opponent into theoretically winnable territory, so I made a go for it. And it worked out juuust fine:

    (I'm a bit boostered up currently; my "normal" ego is more like 151k right now.) 

    The guy in 1st place was by far the strongest player at 175k ego, and he consequently got the perfect 900 points. He's also the only one I didn't beat at all (no surprise there); in addition to those 3 losses I had 2/1/1 against three other players. 

    The second-strongest player at 167k didn't seem to play too seriously and finished 15th. Don't think it was a tanking attempt gone wrong - he was as high as 11th only a few hours before the finish line. The one who finished in 3rd place was arguably also the third-strongest player at about 157k and KH class (there was also a 157k Charm guy) - dunno how he managed to lose one more match than I did, considering he's significantly stronger than me. Wasn't as conscious about waiting for the best judges against tricky opponents as I tried to be, perhaps. (Hey, as Charm I have to make use of all advantages available...)

    So, a nice 384 kobans banked en route to finally reaching Sexpert 2 after five weeks. The bad news is that...

    ...I'm now the lowest-levelled player by a mile again. Managed to defeat a level 309 opponent to start off the new season though, so I'm probably going to be able to pick off a few points here and there. As after my last promotion, I'm just shooting for 75th place here for the debut week.

     

    I'm four levels behind you, but otherwise same story. Second place in S1, and now I'm the lowest level person in my S2 bracket.

    It's not just that the rewards for finishing much lower are worse, losing fights means much less xp too.

     

    I know. My rule up to now was that if I could make it into the top 4, then take it and promote. So far it served me well. I followed that rule in W3, promoted when I was in shot of first place (but ended up second), tanked my first round in S1 and finished 17th, then I'm about to finish second. I was strongly considering tanking, but when I saw that I could make it in the top 4, I decided to go for it.

    Also, I messed up my calculation. I need to make it to at least 45th place to get the same or better koban reward as if I had tanked.

    Looks like I'm promoting from S1 to S2 today. 1st place is out of reach, but I'm going to be in 2nd or 3rd place for sure. 4th place doesn't look like he can catch up. The only question is whether or not I can keep up in S2. I'm 72/102 in sexpert 1 in terms of levels, and I'm the lowest level person that's going to be promoting (Level 226). There's two people in the 240s, and everyone else that's promoting is 250+. If I can't place in 16-30th next season in S2, promoting this week will have been a mistake. I'm worried that it will in fact be a mistake.

    After some thinking, the solution is pretty simple.

    1. Points reset to 0 at the start of the season.
    2. Refill time is sped up to allow for 15 more challenges during the normal course of a league, or give an item that gives the player 15 challenge refills, to keep the balance the same.
    3. Give a "finish up" button that gives the player all the remaining refills that would happen between that moment and the end of the season (can't exceed the cap).
    4. After you use the finish up button, you don't regain challenge tokens any more (maybe you can still buy refills, maybe not).
