Get bigwham to explain what he has in mind with conquer star

Postby betiko on Thu Apr 17, 2014 3:02 pm

I still don t get it. No one seems to get it.
All I know is that the mods know that bigwham has something big in mind with those.
I don t know anyone who cares about them. And no, entering certain tourneys isn t a good excuse.
Could you guys at least create a leaderboard or something? Anyway, it basically promotes the most prolific players no matter how bad they are.

But a nice little interview of bigwham in the next dispatch where he could speak his mind regarding his invention would be very interesting.

Big Wham was interviewed in Issue 110 of the Dispatch:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=430&t=200777

It's a bit soon to do it again.

But it's doubtful he would put your mind at ease anyway. BW isn't afraid to talk about the details of things, but when it comes to the big picture he likes things to be a surprise.

Just stop this anal pretending-to-disdain-stars-while-secretly-obsessing-about-them behaviour. If you genuinely don't care about them, then stop talking about them every 15 minutes.

I am actually never participating in stuff to gain stars. Please allow me to question their interest, and no i don t know anyone thinking they are of any use.
BW is trying out stuff which is good, but when something is quite sloppy from my point of view and many other people's, I think I have the right to open a suggestion thread to ask to make this thing interesting. The attribution system is very bad and gives very little value with so much randomess.

If you have a suggestion for how to use/improve the inventory function feel free to share it.

I think that's part of the difficulty. No one really understands their purpose yet, outside of entering auto-tourneys, and because there is still mystery surrounding their eventual use, suggesting a better way to use them isn't all that easy. For me personally, I've just started ignoring them. I don't really care to join auto tournaments at the moment, just out of personal preference, so for me, the stars of of no use. As such, I don't know what else to suggest they're used for.

This isn't meant as a criticism. BW obviously has plans for the stars, which may or may not effect every user, but that's neither good nor bad. I don't see the stars as a negative; those who use them are getting something out of it, those who don't are very much unaffected.

Bollocks.

That's not how his development works. There was no master plan in mind when inventory was created. It was created as a framework so that as good ideas come to light, there is a way to implement them. That has been clearly seen with the other things that the inventory is now capable of doing, like the Easter event we're in right now. The conquer stars themselves don't need to ever be useful for more than entering autotournaments; they were there as a way to make the inventory have something upon launch.

The inventory make newbies feel good about their activity on the site because they're having positive feedback from their interaction with it?

It's not really an argument. More of a free-wheeling discussion.

Damn. I booked Madison Square Garden for Serbia vs Metsfanmax. Max gets home advantage since this is the Suggestions forum.

FTR, Using inventory for Challenges has been amazing, and I am thankful the system exists.

Basically, bigWham is just trying to establish Conquer Stars as the main currency over Saxibucks. Betiko doesn't understand these things since he doesn't have any saxibucks.

I heard a rumor that there will be an official SxBx <-> Conquer Stars exchange coming soon.

How clever you think you are! The difference is that I have consistently criticized Team CC for public bickering.

But how CHARMING to see a Jr. Mint weigh in with such insight.

Feel free to weigh in -- somewhere else -- if you find an actual instance of Team CC bickering. Back to the discussion at hand, please.

actually this is the best use possible. a conversion rate between conquer stars, saxbucks (there is no such thing as saxibucks) and AOG rubles.
A leaderboard in the OT forum with the ones with the most saxbucks; and people being able to offer stars for saxbucks whenever needed.

Would be interesting to have bidding (using Conquer Stars) come into play.
Position, map, options, team mates, victory, mulligans etc.

Having a cost associated when foeing/unfoe somebody.
