Hello!

The amazing Dev-Slaariel is working on a cool automatic leaderboard for SoD. We want it to be fun and interesting and highlight many different aspects of the game. We are leaning towards the top 6 of each "catagory" being shown, with possible titles or special items that move with the top spots.

What we need from the playerbase is ideas for categories! Here is a short list of examples we came up with to give you an idea what we are looking for:

"Most Kills", "Most Quests Completed", "Fastest Hatesfury Times", "Fastest Leveling 1-65", "Fastest Hardcore Leveling 1-65", "Most Recent Archaic Completions", "Adept Kill Club (Killed all available adepts when hitting 65), etc etc.

Have another cool idea? Post it. If we use it, you get fame. Hurray!
 
Most times jailed
Most Banked AAs
Most times saved by Divine Benevolence/Secrets of the Wee folk
Most Duels won
Most Feign Death Fails
Most Tradeskill combines
Most Deaths
Most Factions at Ally
 
Best kill:death ratio (must of CoPs complete or some other sort of restriction so its not all 65 hardcore buffbots)

This one came up in our discussion, but I am not sure how to do it without letting people sploit the stats by killing things. Also, you have to remember that a lot of things have not been recorded. We can see kills/deaths, but we can not see how many of those kills are from greens (unless we ad something new, but then older characters are at a huge disadvantage).

I like the idea, but it might be hard to put into practice!

Individual rankings are cool, but I'd like to see how many times a guild has killed a monster.

We can definitely do guild based rankings, BUT, the leaderboard would be awfully cluttered if it included every guilds kills. I would be interested in putting up a secondary "Cool stats" bpage, but I think that sort of thing is beyond the leaderboard idea.

Banked AAs are capped at some point I believe, so whoever got there first would be the leader forever. So this one is not doable because of technical BS.

Most Times Saved is kind of cool! I will think on that one. I would be worried people could just suicide over and over with it to raise. Same problem with duels won and FD.

Most Tradeskill combines - I like this one.

Most Deaths - Same sploity possibility. Don't want people t just hain kill themselvves.

Most Factions at Ally: This one is a really good one.

Most Scales/Heads I am not sure is a big enough thing to warrant inclusion. What do othe rpeople think?

Most time /played would incentivize idling, but I am not sure this is too big a deal. Thinking on it.

Adept Kills would need to be a "Club" list, or just showing everyone who got all the adepts that existed when they leveled up. Otherwise whichever 6 got them all first would never be deposed.

Raid boss kills we sort of have in "Most Unique Raid Kills" which counts each raid boss once.

Damage Done is good and we have that.

Travelling is hard because of the idling, autorun problem. Try to avoid this sort of thing if possible! (Although I know it is hard.)

Least Kills is cool if we disqualify people who use adventure bands.

The fun ones about queen bee tomes et al are fun and would work. We will see if they are widespread enough to make the final cut though.

Good job so far. Keep them coming folks!
 
wasnt time played removed from fomelo to hide peoples played time because they were ashamed of it
 
items bought/sold to NPCs
items bought/sold to PCs
traps triggered
duels fled from
total ooc messages sent (top person gets ooc muted until overtaken!)
total friendly (amiable and above) mobs killed
time playing gems

someone mentioned the queen bee one earlier, something for each class based on class tomes would be cool since a lot of them have just been added. im not sure if all these things can be differenciated from normal hits/damage.

bard flurries number
cleric overheal amount
rogue insidious stabs number
enchanter with cascading tome time
magician empowered pet time
sk pet explodes number
wizard amount of mana returned? from that killing blow tome
ranger number of arrows split
shaman hp consumed for blood ritual
paladin tears heal amount total
monk elemental fist damage

it's capped on fomelo (well it rolls over after 255) but i dont THINK its capped ingame. i have 1000 banked and i think vartenaal(?) has ~2500?

I agree that fomelo has some sort of cap that isn't true to in game. I have logged on characters with over 2k banked AA as well, and when I fomelo them it says they have 100something banked lol.


As far as the 'exploiting' for some titles, it is kind of part of how any leader board works. If someone wants to kill 1000000^n green mobs, they win the kill title. If someone wants to suicide 1000000^n times, they win. Honestly, it is a mini game unto itself.


People who have more than one title earned will need to be able to pick which one they want displayed.


Most hails made. Title - 'Hail Storm'
Longest time spent in 1 zone. Title - 'Sir Camps'a'lot'
Most Jumps - Title 'Frogger'
Most Time spent as x illusion.
Most cannibalize deaths. Title - 'Cannibalist'
Most named (#) kills. Title - 'Sniper'
Most items sold on list sold. Title - 'Merchant of Dalaya'
Most time spent levitating. Title - 'Floatilla'
Highest Falling Death. Title - 'Geronimo'
Largest Sum of Money Held at one time. Title - 'Money Bags'
Most kills of x mob type/race. Title - 'x Slayer' (Bunny Slayer)
Most time spent shrunk. Title - 'Mini-Me'
Most spells cast.
Most spells landed on NPCs.
Most spells landed on PCs.
Most uses of x skill. Title - 'Elite xer' (Elite Rampager, Elite Begger, etc.)
Most pets summoned. Title - 'Pet's Worst Friend'
Most time spent under water. Title - 'Gillman'
Most Fame earned. Title - 'The Famous'
Most Fame spent. Title - 'Big Spender'
Longest Time Banned. Title - 'Bannon'
Most weapons equipped. Title - 'The Undecided'
Most Items equipped. Title - 'The Upgrader'
Most time spent Hungry/Thirsty. Title - 'Meager Rations Grueling Pace'
Most Weapon Procs. - Title - 'Procosaurus'

I am a huge fan of TONS of leader board stuff. Things you would never even thing of being on there. Little things, big things, weird things, etc. The more you have, the more it spices things up. That said, organization is a big thing once you reach x mass.
 
Most short duration log ins .... title: "I work too damn much and though I thought I wanted to get yellow numbers, once I actually logged on I said 'to hell with it I'm going to bed' ".


I WIN!
 
Most group members killed by your own AE.

Longest time in a city at max heat.

Most bugs reported successfully.
 
Not that I have anything real to contribute to this, but would the server record damage numbers when the damage numbers made the zone crash? (Specifically talking about back when blast traps were first put in, wink wink)

I'm not sure why I'm so curious, but I never got to see how high the number-toll rolled.

Also pretty sure it would get honorable mention for most damage done.

I would be willing to accept an answer as payment for all those fame points you owe me Wold.

:D


EDIT:

I lied, I do have something to contribute. Most expensive gear. Encourage some twink cash-dumping and tally up the biggest vendor-value spender on Pimp My Toon.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet so I will mention it...

Highest Unbuffed HP (aka fomelo HP)
Highest Unbuffed Mana (aka fomelo Mana with or without FT considered)
Highest Unbuffed AC (aka fomelo AC)

Highest Unbuffed Combination of HP/Mana/AC/FT

This could be continued for stats and/or resists.

Could extend it with filters for things like level or raid gear (replace XYZ with HP/Mana/AC and such). So,

Highest Unbuffed XYZ for level 57s or level 55s
Highest Unbuffed XYZ for level 65 toon that has NO raid tier 1+ gear.
Highest Unbuffed XYZ for any non-65 toon

Based on the "Club List" idea:

List of people who have all tradeskills/skills maxed.
List of people who have all languages maxed (if languages were implemented at some point) or list of people sorted by # of languages maxed.


EDIT: List of X level characters that killed Y adepts (only if the adept is higher level than the intended target -- aka. lvl 55 killing 57 adepts would be an example). Not sure how effective the "club" lists would be for the leaderboard as they would not necessarily have people pushed off and replaced by newer/better characters.
