gain point for putting people out in Standard

Post by Rythum55 »

there should be something more to putting people out than just getting their cards. I understand there is a whole game type dedicated to this, but i think there should be some points taken off if you put someone out, then a majority points to the winner.

Yes, but the current "Winner takes it all" system it's too extreme. Something in the middle would be much better.

we do have something in the middle where you gain points for eliminating someone.

Also, this suggestion has basically already been made. There was that thread about people splitting the points in standard games for each person eliminated.

We have something in the middle where points go to the one who happens to be next to the last soldier of an eliminated player. Completely unfair.

So we have standard and terminator, this wants to be a middle ground. What is next, assassin where you gain half the points for eliminating a different player from your own target.

The problem is that terminator is not fair at all, so I would not call this a "middle ground" unless the OP is suggesting something half unfair.

With terminator, the winner takes all the unique kills. Killing someone just gives you the points. There is an incentive for winning the game, i don t see what is not fair in terminator.

Lately i ve tried battle royales and finished 2/52 in the 2 games i ve played. That was hugely frustrating, but i was playing for the win, so were others. It was with settings (no spoils trench) that meant round limit. Maybe in those kind of settings your so called middle ground would work, other than this i really don t like it.
Anyways, the op title is stupid. Talk about creating a new game mode, not to modify standard mode.

I am certain that that Suggestion is floating around here somewhere. Would you like me to find it for you?

Anyhow, unless someone has a proposal for how to go about awarding points for eliminations in Standard this thread lacks any inherent value.

How about this https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 0#p4351621 ?

I agree with spiesr.

I concur that what's proposed is not different enough from Terminator that we should push it as a separate game option. I am more partial to ideas that give people who finish second or third a partial split of the points, but those have some serious issues to be resolved before we can implement them.
