Since Cormyn hasn't commented on this thread since last September I don't know if these suggestions are even worth mentioning but here's my thoughts.
- ideas about where you want us to show your AG Score (the total of your points)
Cormyn said that the "team" was thinking of using,
One idea we had was to make everyone's armatar a hover pop-up that would show some basic stats like how long they've been a member, AG Score, etc., and controls to add them as a friend, follow them, etc.
a "hover pop-up attached to the armatar.
I would like to add the suggestion of being able to leave a brief comment to the user's profile page. For instance, if I agree with their "community" comment instead of wasting thread space with unnecessary chatter that usually strays off-topic I could utilize this feature instead. If this feature is implemented it would also save us from having to have multiple tabs open to leave comments to other user's profiles for their game comments, too.
example: Maybe I was able to achieve a higher score on a game because of the way Gantic rated a game, for example. I could then comment to him directly and thank him without wasting space on the games comment page.
ideas about where to show the leaderboard
I think an individual leaderboard could be attached to the above "
op-up" idea showing a user's weekly progress or something similar by showing the previous weeks score vs the current weeks score. Then much like AG2 has showing the top leaders on it's homepage but instead of having it be on display just have a separate tab for it say, next to the FAQ.
how we could display the leaderboard
Using the above "separate tab" idea, a display showing each user's armatar, when they opened an AG account, how long it took them to reach their gaming achievement and where they currently stand in say the top 10. If people want to archive it, it could be a sub-section of the tab but on another page much like the archive community comments.
whether we should keep the current rank system (serf, knight, prince, king, etc) and WHY
The current rank system and the female counterparts is fine and keeping the hats will be fun. I think it would be a nice touch to keep this a "familiar" feature with AG3.
whether we need to come up with a new rank system, and what you think the ranks should be
If I were to change it the changes would only be cosmetic like Gantic said but my difference(s) is:
Personally, I like the Russian Tzar and Tzarina better than emperor and empress because it sounds more cool.
A different way to show rank such as the whole face with the crowns and hats. A more accurate background coloring for Iron (or, a flat gray) vs AG2's silver (or, shiny gray) color. I'm not sure whether the color gold is supposed to represent the highest rank or if it's supposed to be the color of brass or bronze but it would be nice for the colors to be more authentic, please.
