In order to avoid confusion, no matter which hero is chosen, once the "Elemental Gem" or "Kukri" is purchased, the guide at the foot will disappear immediately.
6. Store Purchase Optimization
[b]Pre-ordered item logic optimization
[/b]Specific changes: Old: Once pre-ordered a high or third-level item, players will be offered with two most expensive pieces of items that are affordable.
New: Priority will be given to purchasing second-level items rather than a large number of scattered first-level items. Should you find any abnormality while experiencing this optimization, please feel free to tell us.
II. G A M E E N V I R O N M E N T O P T I M I Z A T I O N
1. Behaviour Score System[b]
[/b]
[b]
[/b][b]Reward and punishment system
[/b]Later, there will be a Ranking system in the Behavior Score page, where players who can maintain good behaviour in the Game get a prize. While players who have bad behaviour, and are ranked below will get a penalty. However, we will optimize the Reward and Punishment system before it is implemented directly on the Live Server.
Algorithm Logic
Behaviour History & Ranking: Data recorded on the Behavior Score page is data from the 25 most recent Matches in the past 1 month. If a player has only played 10 matches in the past month, only those 10 matches will be recorded on that page.
If there are 50 matches in the last 1 month, then the 25 newest matches will be recorded on the Behavior Score page. And if a player doesn\'t play at all, then the points calculation will not be counted and entered into the Ranking.
Basis Point: Each player will get an initial score of 100 Points, and can be reduced to 0 if hit by Report. There is no maximum limit for this Behavior Score Points.
Reduction of Points: Players will get 1 point reduction according to the number of reporters, with some adjustments. If there are teammates from different parties reporting, the Points will be reduced by 1 point multiplied by the number of different Party reporters. Meanwhile, if the reporter comes from one party, then the points reduced remain 1 point regardless of a large number of reporters.
[b]
[/b]Example
3 Reports from different Party partners = 3 points deduction
3 Report from one Party colleague = 1 point deduction
Additional Points: If a player gets a Like from a teammate, the player will get an additional 1 point. These points will be accumulated from the total likes received.
[b]*We are still monitoring the performance of the Behavior Score System. For now, likes and reports will not affect the score. Please look forward to future updates.
[/b]
2. Scoring System
There are several factors that we make judgments in determining the validity of player reports.
- Reports from different players (being in the same team) are more influential than those of Party friends.
- If you get a report from different players in several matches, the chances of that player getting a penalty will be greater
- In a match, continuous Verbal Abuse will result in the player being punished directly.
- Fixed a Bug where a player who succeeded in becoming MVP of the losing team was considered a valid object of a report from teammates.
3. Pre-selected Role
For players who do not play in the specified position before entering the Ranking Match, they will get a penalty. You can report the incident on the Report Page that we have added. However, if you play with friends at the same party, the penalty will not apply.
