TOPIC: [SSRP SUGGESTION] Revert LB Nerf

Suggestion: Revert the harsh unnecessary leaderboard nerf

How will it effect server: It gave a really solid reason to play/grind or do anything on the server (a lot of people really liked it). Like I will mention again later the server activity has greatly declined since this change, and the leaderboards gave people a reason to play more

Bugs: None besides however the code may be messed up like previously

Extra Comments: The leaderboards give hardly any cases after the week now, (it used to include suits and better rewards) while the city events do that every hour for way less effort. I don't think the prizes should have been nerfed as hard as they were and I think a lot of people probably agree. I've seen a lot less server activity since this change. Thanks

At the very least something halfway in between the original and nerfed

Probably could keep it restricted to low-tier suits like Jugg/Nano/ACS/Hyper/EVO

If I remember right last time there were jet suits, warps, higher tier suits like those. Those are a little more expensive and it could probably just remain giving some of the cases those are in for a chance at least. But I think 1-2 cases for top position is bogus

there was players during the leaderboard tbf

I think leaderboard timer should be reduced from a week to 3-4 days if they decide to keep the current nerfed rewards, or keep it as a week but buff the amount of cases/rewards

I believe certain leaderboards over others definitely have an easier way to “guarantee” a spot in the top 3, for example nuclear launches. Reason being is that larger gangs would obviously have a much higher success rate, due to the number of defenders to (willing) attackers. This particular challenge also already awards you with a super charged uranium, which in itself is a great reward.

Particular leaderboards should reward differently, based off of a few factors such as whether it’s a group activity, difficulty or how significantly you have to grind to stay on top.

I also believe there should be much more variety in leaderboards and the prizing leaderboards should rotate every week, to prevent pumping too many items into the economy.

The main reason behind the nerf on the current boards is because of how many prizes were being given out every week, there was never much consistency between deep sea mining for example and trash collecting. This was just another of those inconsistencies.

We have got reworking prizes across the board on our radar, we just haven’t gotten around to doing it.

I do believe that it gives more of an incentive for people to log on and try for the leader boards when there are more/bigger prizes, it's just the fact that it was pumping in way too many items that Chute simply did not think was right, reasonably so. Nafe mentioned how nuclear strikes were simply not only one sided to the bigger gangs but also gives them way too much as a reward with the SCU's included which are sometimes more valued than some cases.

If we started to have 'mega' leaderboard events on a monthly basis, would this be a better solution? For example, in the first week of the month, we could set up the prizes and quantities to our own selection to things that hold a lot of value/use.

The latest nerf to the leaderboard is not final anyways and was probably subject to change again in the future, it was during a time where Chute had to fix a ton of issues SSRP was left with like the awful F4/F1 menu that was forced upon us, exploits and a TON of bugs (all of which aren't even fixed yet but we have a Trello for this and a lot has been done). We're going to keep trying to improve our current features rather than leaving them abandoned, a lot gets added only to never be touched again when improvements can be made and we already have a lot in mind to do.

to the stuff above,

"I believe certain leaderboards over others definitely have an easier way to “guarantee” a spot in the top 3, for example nuclear launches."

what I have to say about this is doing trash 24/7 or drugs 24/7 or printing 24/7 will always be easier than getting 20 players and 5 cops to launch a nuke

Yes nukes have been and always will be one-sided to more confident/"skilled"/supported gangs but there aren't even many nukes in a week anymore (20 players and 5 cops is outrageously rare currently) the only way it's been hit is because of alt accounts mining and begging people to go cop (or alt abuse)

Bank raids are more common because of the 3 cop 10 player (or 12 can't remember) requirement, but still there is hardly any incentive to stop them or risk any items

Trash is uncontested because those who spend the most time on it will win, same with drugs produced, and ALMOST with printing money although getting raided is more common because people don't want you making money. (once again more one sided to better players or bigger gangs)

I just believe all the rewards need to be rebuffed because as soon as the nerf hit I saw server activity decline. More players = more incentive to play = more nukes/bases/cops/players = better server health.

I honestly think the greatest releases as of recently were the City Events and Leaderboards, but it's just unfortunate that the LBs prizes got nerfed to the ground and people stopped grinding/playing almost instantly

Based on the current economy a couple suits and a dozen cases a week released is nothing in comparison to being able to print over 10b in a couple days. It was a good way to give newer players a chance to grind for good items without having to nuke or spend money (nuking would never happen for them and spending money wont even get them anything unless its a good booster event). Doing trash/drugs/printing or even participating as mayor (OMG A COP SLOT!) was able to give good rewards and it was a good idea in my opinion.

its a weekly reward city events are every 30min it makes no sense to grind for a whole week to maintain your spot for 1-2 cases the previous rewards were balanced and fair considering the odds of getting something really good from a case is already extremely rare and getting rewarded for actively grinding and playing the server makes you wanna play you could just rework it into a quest line like the npcs from years ago that would require you to grind but get rewarded (a random mid tier suit with a low chance to get a high tier suit and 1-4 random cases) which would be worth my time and effort to try and complete it

This change is a good thing to avoid people sticking to their pc 7/24 for some pixel it's not just that in games you have to see other horizons so don't take this "nerf" as such it was decided as well why you want it to be like before again it is only for personal interest and not for the activity of the players

Sorry you feel this way but your opinion is irrelevant since you spent 24 hours of the day doing trash 7 days a week while it was active until you got banned and was forced off zarp

my interest is in getting poor players back on to play because the server has been inactive for a couple weeks

your right hiro, shut up sinz brev don't call your items pixels as we all know your not gonna be happy when you come back to the server with 100k starting cash after your unban, leaderboards got players on the server i remember seeing smol and people who i havent seen in ages play just so they can win the cases for the weekly challenge
