Mini Leauge Prizes, Its wierd

Some of the prizes seem weird, take the GW winter meltdown, a buccaneer for first, a LASER for second and a HCR for third?

Shouldn't it be Laser, HCR, Buccaneer?

As it stands, I would rather get second than first.

Yeah, that happens. Maybe the cash is meant to offset that. ;)

IT happens too often. Is it that hard to make it so say a Laser becomes 1st prize if is something like a buccy? Liek they just swap.

Kinda ridiculous have to try to "lose" to get the laser.

Looks like we are competing for second place here! :D

It can happen in any of the leagues. :)

For first place I won a "pike"

Second place got a "Mortar"


Just wait, some day you'll see an RGM show up as a 3rd place prize. ;)

I know it happens in all of them. If it's a league with sponsorsit's usually worth winning regardless, but I have specifically got 2nd place for the mounted mortar a couple times.

I would suggest it actually takes more skill to deliberately gain second place, than to just use superior gangers to grab first.

Maybe thats the challenge.

Oh and its FREE stuff.

Actually the main issue here might be the 'desirability' values that I have assigned to the hardware, rather than a coding problem as such.

Here's the current 'desirability' values. I'm happy to change any of these (I can see the laser looks very low, for example, and the rocket racks too high):

Weapons

Heavy Laser    190000
Radar Guided Missile    150000
Heavy Rocket Rack    90000
Medium Rocket Rack    70000
Mounted Mortar    65000
Tank Gun    60000
Rocket Booster    60000
Light Rocket Rack    50000
Mini Rocket Pod    50000
Heavy Gatling Gun    40000
Laser    30000
Heavy Car Rifle    15000
Flechette Gun    5000
Nitro Booster    5000
Anti Tank Gun    5000

Chassis

Fire Engine    240000
Ambulance    225000
McFly    220000
Roadrunner    220000
Squadcar    215000
Turin    210000
Cougar    210000
DeVille    205000
Fiftyseven    200000
McKenzie    200000
Hotrod    160000
Royal Eaton    140000
Stormer    125000
Pike    100000
Buzzer    80000
Osprey    75000
Hearse    50000
Flail    50000
Bus    40000
Moray    40000
Bullet    5000
Semi Tractor    5000
Buccaneer    5000

I'm surprised ATG is in there but Car Cannon isn't, especially since I picked up an ATG at Jake's the other day (without hero points, I might add).

In the chassis, the osprey is way to low, that's for sure, and as he said, replace the ATG with car cannons, also, I would call the RGM more desirable than the heavy lasers, just for the rarity of the thing.

The HCR and HGG should also change places
*sam*


Posted Nov 18, 2009, 1:42 pm
Osprey to 150000 ?
HCR to 45000 ?

What value should the Laser be at?
FireFly


Posted Nov 18, 2009, 1:47 pm
I'd say, osprey 130000, under the eaton, over the stormer.

Laser, I would say 60000, in the tank gun/rocket booster group

yep id go with goats pricing to be honest...now get some RGM's and squad cars in them there events Mr. Sam

Posted Nov 18, 2009, 3:16 pm
Thanks goat... any chance you could suggest the acutal 'desirability numbers'? ;) These range from about 5000 to above 200000, as you can see.

-Id make Hlaser and RGM the same.

-Under chassis, eliminate the Semi Tractor. It has no use at all until trailers are added.

-Drop the hearse to 5000.

-Fire Engine and Squadcar should change places. Squadcars armor isnt that strong. Its the rarest car at the moment, but surely not the best sedan in the game.

Sam  -Add some Engines?
7LV12 and 5LV12 at 220000
5LV8 at 150000


Other than that, great job Goat.

Don't eliminate the semi tractor. How else will I get one to scout with?
Joel Autobaun


Posted Nov 18, 2009, 11:21 pm
I would get rid of the Semi-Tractor until trailers are in.

I would get rid of ATG/HGG/moray/hearse and bullet because these chassis have become merely uncommon, but often people with only 3 weeks under their belt have these(or better).

If not, make them more rare in wild and at shops.
*goat starer*


Posted Nov 19, 2009, 12:07 am
think longos suggestions are right.

dont agree with joel.. whilst those are only uncommon they are still prized in ss and i cant see them being prizes for anything but small leagues in ss.

Wolf.. semi tractor can be purchased in GW and BL and other towns quite often in the shop
