Event Ladder System

Event Ladder System

We will be doing a point system for all events. At the end of every month, the person or clan with the most points will get 6000 gold. If you're in a clan, your leader will decide how to disperse the gold fairly. Anyone who places in any events, will automatically be on the Event Ladder System. If they are in the clan, it will display their clan. If they are not in a clan, it will simply display their Annihilus Forum Account. People who are in a clan, will have a higher chance at being top ranked in the Event Ladder.

How it works:

If a person wins 1st in an event, they will receive 2 points.

If a person wins gold in an event, they will receive 1 point.

If a clan sweeps the entire event, the clan will be awarded 1 bonus point.

Wager Point System:

Wager Points are only for clans. You may wager points against a clan that's higher up on the ladder rank then your clan. You may not wager against a clan who's lower then you on the ladder rank.

You must have at least 3-5 points to wager against another clan. The winner of the duels gets all the points wagered.

Wagering Points are only allowed on D2PK Server, and it has to be at least a 2v2 and can go up to a 4v4

This seems like a great Idea if the server had more clans but since LocK clan is the only active clan it's kind of unfair.
The current event ladder looks like this...

1) - Clan LocK 24 points
2) - rra 6 points
3) - Parc 4 points
4) - pozdramiam 3 points
5) - About20Pandas 2 points
6) - Sadpacakez 2 points
7) - Clan Cruc 2 points
8) - diablor - 2 points
9) - Tears 2 point
10) - Qne 1 Point
11) - TehBigNutSack 1 point
12) - Tenebrae 1 point
13) - saesa 1 point
14) -
15) -

Obviously LocK clan is going to win every single event ladder and always keep gaining 6k gold every time.
I'd say hold off on this idea and just wait until there are more clans around or else no one else can ever hope to beat clan LocK.
If the entire clan had seperate points I'm sure "rra" in 2nd place would at least be closer to 1st than he is....
Just kind of seems like there's no way to ever win 1st as long as events are setup with Clans sharing points.

We're going to be re-evaluating this at the end of the month. I've been watching it since we first rolled it out, don't worry!

I would say the best thing to do would be to separate everyone instead of putting clan points together.
Because if Clan Lock didn't add their points together it would look more like this

1) - rra 6 points
2) - LockZilla (LocK) - 5 Point
3) - Bluevex (LocK)- 5 Point
4) - Juice (LocK) - 5 Point
5) - Parc 4 points
6) - pozdramiam 3 points
7) - DrLukifer (LocK) - 3 Point
8) - Norp1 (LocK) - 2 Point
9) - About20Pandas 2 points
10) - Sadpacakez 2 points
11) - Clan Cruc 2 points
12) - diablor - 2 points
13) - Tears 2 point
14) - Qne 1 Point
15) - TehBigNutSack 1 point
16) - Tenebrae 1 point
17) - saesa 1 point
18) - Shtew - (LocK) - 1 point
19) - Eric - (LocK) - 1 point
20) - Brimstonejack (LocK) - 1 point
21) - Revandarth (LocK) - 1 point

Just the fact that rra is 1st place without the Clan System makes me feel bad for rra.
He's technically done best in events out of everyone.
But simply because he isn't in a Clan he get's screwed out of his well deserved #1 spot.

diablor and rrra are the same person

Join a clan? You were in a clan long time ago.

Join a clan? You were in a clan long time ago.

I'm aware joining a clan is the other option, but there's really only a small handful of them around.
I'm glad you made LocK clan somewhat recently and that it's been so successful because Annihilus really needs more clans.
I've had plans of possibly making my own clan for next ladder to hopefully urge others to do so as well.
Also I really never enjoyed events as much as others, I'm just more concerned for the players who do enjoy them.
I do love the idea of events and think it's a good addition to annihilus, I'm just no damn good at them.
So even if I made a clan, I myself wouldn't really participate as much as the members of my clan probably would.
I'm really just looking at how one sided it seems for the one and only clan that there is at the moment.
I know it encourages people to start a clan or join a clan to put themselves in that position as well.
But at the moment with there being so few clans it just seems like a bad idea to me.
For example I could say why not start up a separate Clan Event Ladder and Single Even Ladder.
But the Clan Event Ladder would have all LocK players and very few Crucible members and that's it.
I just think it's something that needs to be added in the future when/if more clans start appearing.

We were seriously hoping people would band together as clans for this. Of course we are going to win if you guys don't group up. Participation in events is mandatory for active clan LocK members, or we'll hand out the boot. The best advice I can give is to form a clan and challenge us. As it stands half of the people that join events are clan LocK members, and I'm sure if it wasn't mandatory there would be less events overall due to lack of signups. Like it or hate it, it is what it is

I understand, and I wish others would band together to challenge LocK clan so it wasn't the only big clan in events.
But as of right now I just feel like it's very abusive having the one and only big clan in such a position of power.
Gold is no laughing matter and there is a lot rewarded for events, most of which at the moment goes to LocK clan.
I don't want LocK clan to get ahead of everyone else just because they're the only clan that exists that plays events.
I just want everyone to have an equal opportunity to win at events even if they aren't in a clan.
Not all people who play games enjoy being team players so making events purely about clans just isn't smart.
Clans and Events are two newer growing areas of Annihilus that need to grow separately before they can work together.
And also solo playing and team playing are two different ways of gaming and there are many more solo players around.
Events are very important to keeping Annihilus alive and healthy I believe, I'm just saying what I think is best for the server.
Like I said before, I think as events are now, playing solo without a clan is pretty much a waste of time and I'd never do it.
So if that's the way I feel, a lot of other players will probably feel the same and not participate also.
I'm aware that someone like myself could make my own clan, if I felt I could handle the position of leading a clan.
But the job of running a clan is really not as easy as it seems and not everyone is up to that sort of challenge.
So basically joining LocK is the only way to benefit in events as of right now until more players make clans themselves.
And I don't see clans getting very big for quite a while, it will just take a bit more time for it to catch on.
It just seems a bit unfair for the event ladder to focus on clans especially at the moment when there are so few around.
I appreciate everything clan LocK is doing for Annihilus, so please don't take this wrong as if I'm against you guys.
I know we had some misunderstandings in the past but I'm not holding a grudge about those things anymore.
It's obvious you guys aren't going anywhere and neither am I, so I'd rather we all just get along.
I know it probably seem's like I'm out to get you guys, but I would've brought this up no matter what clan it was.
I just feel no clan should have this advantage as of right now, it seem's very unfair and could be bad for events and Annihilus all together.

oh, well he'd be winning by even more then I guess lol
