Level & Experience Bar

Hey folks.

You see that level and experience bar above your cash amounts?

That's a premium dynamo features. Do we have any uses for this? I was thinking RPG related (starf, marc?)

But could be anything really. You gain exp per post I believe.

I just noticed the thing actually.

I don't see it increase at all though, is the post count supposed to be really high to see a difference, or is it not adding any posts at the moment?

I just noticed it as well, maybe it just hasn't been fully set yet. I think we use this for showing activity.

Yeah, I haven't set up any of the groups yet. But the basic idea is every post you make gives you exp which fills the bar. More active you are, the more you can potentially unlock in the RPG or something, I dunno. Just an idea.

Plus, it looks pretty cool when filling up. xD

I see, so it's a RPG specific function? What exactly happens when you level up? More post income?

Not necessarily. Just need this topic for suggestions on how to use it really ^^

Hm... Perhaps in the RPG we should have certain Poke balls unlocked? Or if we use the skill point system, it could level the points up? Maybe a free prize to come with each level up?

Just adding on to what Aura has to say, perhaps special events where you need to be a certain level?

Considering you use money, which you get by posting, to buy things for the RPG I don't think having another system that gives you something for posting would be a great idea or else the RPG will seem like it relies more and more on posting.

What minimii said. RPG wise, I don't think this is such a great idea since it already relies on posting to earn money. Maybe as an indicator of how active members, as a kind of Karma thingy? Not sure...

*sigh* I wish this was discussed with us before hand in staffs.
We have discussed that we're trying to move the RPG from being dependent on active posts. Because of this, this EXP function will not be incorporated for the RPG.

Doesn't need to be for the RPG. This is a suggestions forum, and I'm asking for suggestions, not complaints, nor sighs. It's all to be debated atm. ^^

I might use it as a way to unlock things around the forum, or just for the sake of having it. If there was a way to manually edit a users experience, that could be quite handy as you wouldn't need the posting as a way to level up, but we'll see.

Editing experience has been suggested before and is at the top of my list - but I don't know when I'll get the chance to get to it unfortunately.

if it's possible for mods to edit experience and make it so you get none for posting then it could be a nice feature for the RPG, having a RPG topic where people can post the battle results and mods can give the winner exp and maybe the loser gets a little bit of exp as well.

That would put more mod power into play. In this new version we're planning to have the RPG more free to the users than having almost everything in accordance to mod approval.

I thought a betting pool would be interesting. Same basic principle as a lotto at first, where everyone puts in a certain amount of cash. (for tournaments and stuff I imagine) Then the moderator could pick the winner's name and have the money be distributed to them and EXP gained. Of course, this isn't possible to the extent of my knowledge, but this is the only way I could really see of having the EXP bar be useful without it being used for the RPG. Could dictate trainer skill levels in battle. Since we are being practical here, I have no idea. Or rather, I have ideas which can't be used.

Problem is, we already establish caps with Gym Leaders. Some people aren't too happy with forum EXP caps since we have to post WAY more to get perks.

so have exp be totally unrelated to the RPG, except for maybe in the case of tournaments in which EXP can be earned. It could be a pure indicator of talent in battle

Hm... That doesn't sound bad at all. I wonder if this could just be universally in any game tournaments to show skill level or just bragging rights. I think the Halloween event should raise up the exp of any participants and have a "final" level to show mastery.

I personally don't see a use of the EXP system as mentioned before. Bragging rights, like the badges you get for posting a certain amount could be considered. Like, you get EXP by posting and by participating in contests, and that's it.

Despite us having no real reason to have this system. It feels weird to just ditch it (not implying that we are now) I can't really think of anything right now, but it seems like something to can be used in several creative ways.

Badges are used for pure post counts though. The way I could envision it is as pure battling skill level, which posts don't cover. Battling or contest type things rather

I also think that the system is not ready yet.

Why don't we get this system started and try it out? To be honest I'd much rather have the karma bar back though

What happened with the karma system? And why can't we have both because they tell entirely different things.
