[Med] BETA Map Medal

[nicestash]

Those all say lower...

[hotfire]

i know and i cant fix it tried about 8 different times...poll must have a virus....removed it for now...maybe someone else can edit it for me like they did earlier...wink wink

[DoomYoshi]

I am trying to fix it, but it is all haywire.

Yay! Fixed it, as my first act as Suggs Mod.

If it is unique kills, stick to levels already known for those. 20/100/400/platinum level?

I'm always for medals, but what happens when a player realizes an imbalance in a beta map and takes advantage of it? https://www.conquerclub.com/player.php? ... so=&page=1

[hotfire]

that is an advantage of this medal...we should notice these glitches and gameplay problems sooner and fix them faster if more honest people are playing...

Yep, that was my map and it was something that after a 50 page thread and countless hours of people looking at the map, it was not seen. But these things come around once in a blue moon. Nothing can be done about it and even maps that have been quenched have had problems.

I would not say it is an advantage. But with a lot more players wanting to play beta maps, it would make it easier to do this. But as this happens only very rarely, right now only 1 map has been closed to sort a problem like this out.

what else needs to happen to make this GO?

[Jdsizzleslice]

I don't think this is a good idea. Beta maps only stay Beta for a while. And what at if one point there are no beta maps to be played on? Then the medal becomes unachievable for that certain period of time.

When was the last time a map was not in beta? But on top of that, just because a map is not, your unique kills are kept. You do not need 400 on one map to get it, you need 400 on any map as long as it is in beta when you play it.

It's been stickied. Right now the [Submitted] section still only has Battle Royale medals and Monthly Challenge medals waiting to be implemented. Which means this is probably next, after those, if it gets approved. Which it probably will. But this won't be an instant process. If you are playing Beta games, feel free to spread the word about this suggestion. Extremely popular suggestions may be hurried along, but there are no promises.

This is indeed next in line to be Submitted (as far as I am concerned, it's a go from us), but as DY says, we're currently waiting on the programmers to get to a few other things that were ahead of it in Submitted, so we'll let it sit here for now and garner other feedback.

[SimplyObsessed]

Stupid idea.

I'd prefer an escalating spoils and flat rate spoils medal.

We already have that in the standard medal category.

[waauw]

waaaa!! I really like this idea!

[Metsfanmax]

I'm going to submit this unless we have a significant number of objections from the community. I'll give people one week for commentary if you have a reason why this should not be submitted, or if you just want to express support again.

[koontz1973]

or if you just want to express support again.

[hotfire]

well 3 weeks and no complaints...boomshakalaka

Since the primary beneficiaries of this should be the mapmakers and carto mods, I'm wondering whether your department shares this feeling? Any idea on how the rest of your team feels?

[spiesr]

I have some level of concern in that this medal would seem to presume that there will be handful of maps in beta at all times for the remainder of the site's lifetime. I am not sure that this will (or should) always be the case. Is it okay for a medal to one day become temporarily or permanently unobtainable? Or is admin willing to commit to somehow making sure that there will always be beta maps?

I think it's ok for a medal to become unobtainable in the future in principle, as long as we aren't intending that to happen any time soon. For example, the Conquer Cup medals make sense even though we may not always have a conquer cup.

[Melkor52]

I think it's a great idea and should be implemented at once.

Can we get this kicked upstairs to the new boss sometime. No one can really say anything bad about it and only good things will come from it. Not a finished product but an idea on how to show them. Similar enough to what we have now for medals but different enough to be recognisable.

Indeed. SUBMITTED!
