Graalians - BRING BACK SPAR HATS

- - BRING BACK SPAR HATS (https://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23696)

The coding for this would be very simple.

Something similar to:

PHP Code:


		
			
Function onPlayerTouchsme {
  If (WhateverVariableKillsAreStoredIn==Whatever #) {
  //Give Hat Code Here
  }
  If (WhateverVariableSparWinsAreStoredIn==Whatever #) {
  //Give Hat Code Here
  }
}

Even though I literally just wrote the above in 5 seconds, it's unlikely that this will be made due to the fact that it takes the graphics team two weeks for a hat update.

Yeah guys more hats yay woohoo bring on the heat

Hats should be somewhat decent though. Personally, I think a GFX competition should be held so hats are somewhat alright and admins approve on submissions. Just an idea though.

ok we'll do it.

People have been asking for this since forever and now that one more person made a thread about it, it'll just be so? K, might as well ask for a better "brown" now, again. Brb making thread.

If they add those rewards, I can't wait to see the boosters.

This thing popped 4pg in two days so i skimmed over most.
@Thallens reply to my post: I say this wont make more people participate in spar PK BK because the only people who dont already are people that arent interested in any combat activity on graal. A hat for a goal that takes ~9mo to get to wont motivate people who dont enjoy these activities to begin with. Sure, we may see more sparrers around the overworld pking, and some pkers may hit the spar caves; but the masses in graal city wont care.

to those arguing this will "promote competition:" I dont want to compete with people who are only pking / sparring for the hats (people who wouldnt be if there werent incentive). Theres plenty of competition that I am happy to compete with who enjoy pking / sparring.

If for some reason this actually goes through, I at least suggest the goals be non-linear.

Telling from Dustys post^ i think both of his posts here were trolls

that's steep man
I agree that when you hit 1 million PKs and when Shan (or Sarah) hits 100k wins you should get something special, but hopefully something other than a hat

or if it is a hat, a hat that you choose and upload
hopefully if this is followed through with, the milestone numbers are both reasonable and scale to a relatively high level though so there's always more to achieve

1 million.
Lolololol

They should just make a little shop with a few hats in there lol. Like the old PK shop.

I dont remember hats just the skull skeleton and the black horse

Thats how i felt when noobs started mobing MoD just for the incentive of being in my beloved leaderboards lol :P then i realized i was nobody to decide how people enjoyed the game.

lol. it took me 5-6 months to get 10k. livid let me teach you something, if you spar for wins, stay in the streak rooms and streak instead of chasing noobs around rooms looking for wins. 100k pks? 500 kills a day would get you to 100k pretty easily.

ANY guild that participates in the GST gets an item even if they dont pass the first round. so your point in invalid

You missed my point. My point was any average player would most likely not be able to make it on to a guild's spar team that is able to be in the tournament to begin with. So it's mostly the same ppl getting those unique items that you can only get for being in the gst's to begin with.

Because a big percent of the community wants something that makes them unique or stand out in their own mind. Whether it be by being the first to do something or having a “rare” hat. So, when someone mentions a reward idea in which they will automatically receive the award other people will see it as unfair. Example, if they used thallens #’s I would get 4 hats automatically. Is that fair to the newer players? especially since I haven’t logged in to classic in a long time.

OT: I'm not against rewards but the manner in which rewards are handled should be though out. Personally I would prefer seasonal competitions in which you would have to buy a ticket to participate. 4 seasons, 4 categories, pk,spar,bk, and yes bug collection.

I completely agree with Goat on this. Like I said in my last post I don't think Sparrers need more rewards,and that was where I was meaning to direct my post towards. IMO the ones that do spar or would be eligible for the spar hats as Thallen suggests all ready get the rewards for participating in and winning the gst's. Also I thought they all ready hand out hats to guilds for hitting so many spar wins as a guild? I could be wrong on that.
I do agree that it would be ok to hand out hats or what ever item for reaching individual milestones that don't include sparring. However,Idk about the seasonal competitions tho I would like to see it in action first and see how it goes.

I do really like the idea of more categories than just sparring,towering,pking,bking. Like bug catching, but then it seems like it would be more like an achievement system like Rufus trolled us with awhile back.

In any case I think you can't do something like this anyways because of boosting/cheating,and if you could you would have to find away to start everyone on an even field to get those rewards. Like Goat was saying it would be unfair for players specially noobs, for players to start out having all ready met the requirements and would automatically get 5-6 hats. So unless you can refine a rewards system to do this to eliminate boosting/cheating,and make it fair and even for everyone my answer remains a solid NO on this.

"BOOSTING IS SUCH AN ISSUE I SWARE IT WILL KILL ICLASSIC" - iClassic community
can't take you guys seriously

LETS ALL GO BUG HUNTING BECAUSE WE DONT KNOW HOW TO PK AND CANT SPAR
