Important! Curb The Oratan Food Supply Event (3rd Sept to 16th Oct, 2011)

Appreciate the effort you are making Starfinder. Hope they are giving you something for all your effort. I second Moonbiters request to enhance the display with the number of globals or the the gap between each place.

The images Cyrus provided to me for making the scoreboards does not have a place for "points".
It does make sense from their side not to include such a field, since this might discourage you to hunt the mobs if you can see you are far behind. I dont know "I just work here".

Regarding the part about them giving me something - They are part of the planet partner agreement, which means they are paying me a little (less than you would think) if you are running the ET client on Arkadia. So, events like this should get more people on Arkadia and hopefully they will use the ET client - as ET keeps track of the scores. Thus, I should be getting a little more than I have been lately.

Btw.. All the scoreboards have been made now:

I will add the "updating of the scoreboards" to the cronjob I have running on ET.
They will update every 4 hours - I think it is.


Edit:
Regarding the special rules Cyrus posted, where if you win event 6 you can not win any lower level events. The scoreboard has been made so that if you win an event - you are excluded from the algorithm to find the winners in the lower events. This means that if you are winning event 5, and would take 3rd place in event 4 - you are not even listed in event 4.

However, if you are placed 3rd in event 5 but winning event 4, you are still listed as 3rd place in event 5 since this event is of a higher level than event 4 - and you are also still listed as winner of event 4. The point being that the system always wants you to "win" the highest possible event, so its not excluding you from events thats higher than the one you are currently winning...

Does that make sense?

Slight problem here:
I can't access the e-mail address that I originally signed up to ET with and I can't make another account with the same avatar name - how can we resolve this?

 

Starfinder, just to check I understand you:

You say that if you're winning event 5, and coming 3rd in event 4, you're excluded from the algorithm to find the winners in event 4 and below.

If you drop out of the running for event 5, do you suddenly appear in event 4?

In other words - is the exclusion a live thing that changes as your positioning changes, or are you eliminated from event 4 permanently, once you've gotten to the top of event 5?

Probably a stupid question. Just checking

Very well done to get this all working at short notice. I can't speak highly enough of what you're doing for our community.

EDIT: For anyone who isn't sure, the Leaderboards for this comp can be found at the forum's homepage (ie when you click "Home" at the top of the page) here.

 

Im at arkadia now.. - hunting Kiana. 14309 10437 .. come see me

You are exluded from the query to the database meaning that IF you would be winning category 4, even tho you are winning category 5. Then you are not listed in category 4.

Yes.
If you all of a sudden are taking 4th place, then you would be listed in the lower categories again.

 

Just wanted to echo the thanks to Starfinder for all this effort for Arkadia and the EU community, well done and hope you win a smuggler

 

Thanks Starfinder, great work you have done there!

 

Isn't ANYONE hunting in category 1????
I can't believe its THAT hard...

I've never seen so many globals in chat though it makes me happy

And you should check entropiatracker website for the stats on 8 coins and santuary cove LA's. They have an incredible influx of activity i wonder if it will stay as high...

 

the category 1 mobs global like 1 in 100.000.000 kills

 

I like those odds! let me go and exterminate a few & see what I get shall we? I'll pop over from NI after I've done the few limited missions there & migrate to ARK for a while. I'll try either category 1 or 2 due to the Oro challenge. Gl everyone looks like a fun event & I'm missing out!! for now.

 

I am killing halix for 10h today and my best loot was 17 PED , so ye it is that hard !

 

But you will be listed as the highest loot will you, because one person can win more then one of those? It might be kinda weird to be listed as the top loot, without being listen in the top 10 for lets say category 1 wheer I do not expect to many globals.

 

Remember to run the ET client

 

Yes, you can win the armors in category 1,2,3,4,5,6 while winning a smugger item in one of the categories

 

Btw starfinder do you maybe know where is spawn of big halix ? old provider guardian is the bigest ive found. i went on all spawns which i found on entropedia and on all spawn there are young and only 1 spawn has up to guardian , any ideas where to find prowler alpha ?

 

I'm not taking part in this anymore so I'll tell all....south of Taipan Digsite (if thats the name I don't remember it exactly) - Domi>Stalkers... west of the Halix are Oro Domi>Stalkers. Use an el cheapo LR32/A103 combo or equivalient to blast through them quickly. I did about 500 of each before giving up... 6 weeks of killing the same old mobs and I'd go mad (and broke)

 

Giving up after 500 mobs? .. wow.. yeah.. this event is not for you.. 5000-10000 without a global, then I could understand you..

 

Thanks Jack. I will hunt these with a vengance for you once I encounter them.

 

Tnx for the info did not think any1 is gonna hunt them but i see i will have some rivals here ^^

 

Category 1 mobs have about the same stats as male snable meaning they will be incredibly hard to global from.. my advice is find the staalker / prowler and camp them... could get lucky...

Other note the Kiana no1 is mine you can have the fap tho Star
