This is just a thought, but I think if it could be implemented somehow, it would add another dimension to the website. You guys already have it where it recognizes when we've already voted on a game's score, so could you make it where if we complete the game (more AP for harder difficulties), then it would register?
That way we all wouldn't find just the easiest game out there and just keep beating it over and over to get tons of AP. Not good.
I feel like this would give the account users on Armor Games more of an incentive to play a game all the way through, rather than just loading it up, playing it for a few minutes, rating and commenting, and then moving on to the next one.
Anyone have any supporting/conflicting things to add?
However, sites like Kongregate already have this sort of system and Armor Games want to be unique compared to other sites.
Yeah, the idea has been suggested about 1000 times(Which is okay, it just shows people want it). Thing is, Armorgames wants to keep a level of uniqueness, and implementing a Kongregate-badge related idea might make some newbies think Armorgames is copying, and we might not be on good terms with Kongregate.
The idea is great, of course (After all, it's one of the main reason Kongregate has users that stay for a long time), as it gets addicting and is a much easier way for gamers to make points, but I just don't like the idea of mimicking the Kong idea.
Although I like the idea of "incentive" points, my belief is that Armor should keep its system as is. I, myself, am a very poor player of keyboard based games. I, probably like all of you, am a member of Kongregate, and yes it is a good gaming site. However I shy away from keyboard based games there because, and lets face it your playing to earn points, I find it difficult to meet the challenges. With Armor it doesn't matter how I do, as long as I try. And incidently, I'm becoming a much better keyboard player because I do take the time and effort to play these games on Armor.
This is a good suggestion and it would be great having it, some games are made to have achievement and awards. But unfortunately already too many other sites use it and it would look like AG copies those sites. So until somebody thinks a way to have achievements, which is fairly unique it can't be realized.):
Yes, there have been many requests to change it(Like reducing comment AP and increasing Forum posts). None of them have actually been put into motion, because the system is already almost perfect.
I find it difficult to meet the challenges
Yeah, some people just aren't into gaming so much as to be good at every game they play.
