Stream ranks based on points - scaling
« on: April 10, 2015, 02:02:20 PM »
I prefer to have the ranks based on points, rather than hours watched.

By using points instead of hours the viewers could level down if they fail their minigames or spend to many points (at least I think they would lose rank if they lost too many points??? Not tested it yet though).

The whole idea is that the points are 'Orcs' the viewers have to use on !orcraids rather than !bankheist and so on.

Anyways, the issue at hand.

When loading in the default values for ranks it shows the rank requirement in minutes, then switching to points it remains the same. By doing the math (with 715.000 points required for top rank and a default rate of 1 point per 5 minutes, i.e. 12 per hour), it will take 715.000 / 12 = 59583 hours total. If you watch a stream 24/7/365 it will take you 6.8 years to get top rank. If you only stream 6 hours per day it will take 27 years.

Obviously it needs to be tweaked.

So has anyone else scaled their points down to get a reasonable ranking up ?

How long should it take to reach the 42nd rank do you think? ... 1 year? 2 years? Less? More?

Well as seen here: http://deepbot.deep.sg/forums/index.php?topic=16.0 You can see by default to get to the very top rank, it would take 497 days. So I think a year would be fine. I mean it all depends on how your viewers get points from mini-games/loyalty timer for points.
