rankings

so now I've got a shield cluttering up my action bar that as far as I can see is just a link to 10 players names. so, my question is... why?

if ur 1 of those 10 ppl and u want to see ur name cant we have something a bit less obtrusive as a link? and how bout making that teeny weeny castle do something useful, like perhaps house those marshalls that are cluttering up my star menu!!!

I'm not complaining, there is obviously at least 10 ppl enjoy pvp, these are suggestions :)


p.s. I just noticed u can still access the "view 10 players names" link from an adventure.... awesome!

yes it is a lot of space to use - just to celebrate the 10 that made it to rank 3 - also a bit depressing. Use this much space to try to force this rubbish on us. It is fine that there is something nice to do for these 10 people,I am just a bit annoyed because I joined this game to play settlers - not this pvp rubbish.
I kind of get the impression, that they dont have time and resources to make new adventures and develop the settlers, because they use all resources on this, and on trying to force it on us.

I have to agree that only showing the top 10 seems to be a lot of work for little return, when only a minority of players even care.

And a lot of those 10 players only cancelled the expedition to make it into the top 10

I found a use for it - it gets me the homepage without having to click open the option menu. saves about .2 seconds.

Sorry Peajay, you are wrong
To be ranked you have to be tier 3 and have defeated a minimum of 1000 enemy units.

[Ozzymandeus]

You can cancel expeditions and still be tier 3... I have cancelled loads trying to drop tiers and still stuck at tier 3.

[inyi]

yes, but you still need 1k kills

[Ozzymandeus]

yes, but you still need 1k kills

Yes but that is in total, not per expedition, as you can complete some expeditions using considerably less troops than 1000... and that requirement only applies to the efficiency rankings anyway.

[inyi]

no :D
you have to defeat at least 1k. Why cancel an expedition after killing 1k enemies? that makes no sense

and yes, that's for efficiency.
For( example ) average time small map, you need to have played at least 5 expeditions tier 3. Cancelled ones do not count.
So you can't make that ranking for cancelling either

[Peajay]

Cancelled expeditions count as a 3 hour win and count towards rankings.

[inyi]

average time small map
i wonder how many scratch their head for not making the top 10, after actually conquering colonies, under 3 hours :o
beaten by players who cancel 5 :o

[Durin_d]

If they conquer colonies under 3 hours their average should be lower than 3h where as players who cancel will have average of 3h. So the players who cancel can't beat players who win under 3 hours.

All very interesting but it does depend on how many are actually doing PvP be it for the fake kudos which comes from canceling at the start of each cycle or the well earned fame gained from putting the work in to do it properly.

to give you an idea, i made it in the ranking after doing 1 (UK server) , i didn't make it in the average time ranking. Not even after a second.
I cancelled 1, my times were between 1 and 2 hours ( which is slow, because i have done them below half an hour before )
If you don't continue to do them daily, you drop fast on world wide ranking.
I can't honestly figure out if a lot play pvp, i say yes when looking at the time ranking, but no when i look at efficiency
But, to make it to the time ranking, you need *easy* maps, not the ones i have seen in the past days and i haven't paid enough attention to figure out how far/early in tier 3 you have to be to get them or it's just random.
If that makes any sense :p
