PvP Server Records 2.0

I'm down with it having to be a win, but not much else tbh.

I looked through all of the current records posted last night before making the suggestion (and to emphasize, it is just a suggestion still. I'm open to other suggestions, but I'd like a reason other than "Nah, I don't like it." :3 ). Only about a quarter (if that) of the winning matches posted wouldn't meet a restriction of 4500 Objective Points OR 8 medals.

I fully understand that occasionally there's a wonky choke with objective points where nobody seems to be able to earn them, especially during stalemate matches where the game doesn't pick up on attacker points. That's why I suggested an Honorable Mentions category, just for that sort of thing (well, and for lulz like negative healing xD ). We could expand the idea to honorable mentions for each category, if you're so worried about sent/maras and sniper/slingers.

4500 or 5000 objective points and/or 8 medals is really not that restrictive when it comes down to it. I think it's an acceptable change to something that doesn't mean everything in the first place, especially if we call it a Leaderboard instead of a Records thread, as per Averth's suggestion. Since we don't have a huuuuge Ranked pool (and thus, no abundance of screenshots from ranked matches), Leaderboard seems more fitting as a title.

For the time being at least. If Ranked explodes and gets to be huuuge, I'm open to reconsider, or split the thread. Leaderboards for non-ranked, Records for ranked only or sumfin.

Having an objective points requirement around 4500 or 5000 would ensure you would never get a record in a Hypergate. Only way you ever get higher numbers is in a stalemate match at mid or at a pylon.

Hence the OR 8 medals. Or however many medals we all agree on. Could be 6. I don't think any lower than ... well probably 6, maybe 5, would be reasonable. Without coffee in my brain yet ( x_x ) I think someone guarding a node gets 6 medals if they do nothing else and don't see combat? But if you're getting on the leaderboard, you're out and about anyways.

Looking through all the Hypergate records, very very few of the people on the winning team did not reach 8 medals. Those that didn't made either 7 or 6.

There are six defender medals total, up to 15k, the 15k one being impossible to get unless you see some combat. I'm thinking seven would be reasonable. Assuming you're fighting on a node, you should get several attacker/defender medals, say up to the 5k, then 90k Damage/Healing, 360k Damage/Healing, and then the Demolisher/Savior medal for a 3k heal or damage move. You can also get the 6k Heal/Damage medal as well.

That makes up for a total of seven medals, and those are the medals you could assuming nothing is dying. If the other team is dying, then you're just getting more than the required seven.

My two cents, hope it helps get this going again.
