About the leader boards and resetting

Unread post by heliosa10 » Tue Feb 10, 2009 6:05 pm

Could it be possible to be put on the leader board if you qualify, or just having your run end in general, as soon as you beat legion? I don't see why we have to reset again to have our runs end..

I see a good reason for you actually...it makes you choose between the board and giving up a few turns or using those turns because they matter to you more...make your choice and stand by it, i say.

At this stage, there's no such thing as "qualifying" - you either reset (and end the run) or you don't.

Changing this is a major mechanics change and won't be happening in the near future.

I'm curious though as to why you have to reset to end the run. And how does it change mechanics. I don't want to seem mean but I just don't understand.

It's probably best to assume it's a long drawn out code explanation that you don't really want then and take his word on it.

Mean? Not at all. The simple answer is that the code isn't set up to work that way at this stage. Changing it would mean a fair bit of work and I don't see the point at this stage, since Legion isn't the end of the game and it'd just be something else to update whenever we add more content. Plus I have plenty of other things to work on that are much more important.

For now, please just accept that a "reset" means hitting the reset button, and that you have to choose which is more important to you - leaderboard position or something else.
