not to rehash an old argument, but i think this would be a better way to award points for record sales.
sales x record rating = points
100 rating = 1.00
sales for an album rated 98 would be multiplied by .98
sales for an single rated 93 would be multiplied by .93
i think you get the point.
for the record... i'm not upset my band isn't #1. i just think the creator should make minor changes to the game rather than completely overhaul it. its a shame so many people on these boards love to cast stones when someone suggests things could be better.
bikz you didn't even engage me in conversation. instead you threw mud in my eye without bothering to hear me out. you just assumed i had to be #1. you're a moderator i don't think you should be instigating arguments.
undoubtedly, some users here use the internet to flex their tiny muscles, and fill their deflated egos. the blatant antisocial behavior on these boards is pathetic even by internet standards.
that is all i'm going to say about it... flame away.

I think it's a pretty reasonable solution for ratings. On what you said about Carl tinkering with the game as opposed to overhauling it, overall I'd like to see the game overhauled because it has been the same more or less since god knows how long and to me it's seems tired and dated, so much so I can't be bothered playing the game anymore. To me it's such a chore sitting there going through your points..click click click clikc click blah blah blah....*gets off soap box* Also as far as I am concerned if you (not actually directed at you PG) dont anything valid to add to someone's legitimate query (which yours was I beleive) then just stay quiet.

Just saying, PG .... did you know that you don't actually get any points for record sales, and Carl has made it pretty clear that the only ways to get points will ever be waiting and buying? I'm agreed with Insano - bring on the overhaul. It's not even challenging any more. Maybe it was in v1 (*coughv1wasmarginallybettercough*), but now there's nothing to draw me to it besides the roleplay, and that's on its way to kicking the bucket now, if it hasn't already. In conclusion, if the reason you're trying to work out a rating solution is to get more points from sales, then it's pretty futile being as sales don't equal more points.

Meh, too many people have suggested "buy points with ingame money" to light the fuse every time I see anything to do with getting more points. Anyway, sorry 'bout that, crossed wires. |
