So how does this "Threshold Meter" actually work..

1. I though that when I reach a certain mark (50attacks = 5points for example), is that I will constantly gain 5points on the each of the next attacks I have until I reach another point in the meter (100attacks = 10points for example), and then have a constant gain of 10points on every attack, and so on and so forth.. Does this work this way?

2. Or is the Meter some sort of tally in which according to my total attacks at the end of the day (5000attacks for example), i will receive 500points at the end of the day? Does it work this way?

3. Or maybe it works in a way which I haven't thought about?

*#1 Would be good since you will get a constant growth of points after you reach a mark in the meter, that way, even if you haven't reached the next mark, you would have still been able to gain points..

*#2 WOuld suck since you're point gain would be limited to 500points per day which is a**uming you can reach the 5000attack quota..




I didn't have to do it but I did it to say, that I didn't have to do it but I would anyway..

I am afraid it is #2, but it can be changed at some point if you think it isnt enough.
I must point out though: 500 points == $20 worth of points.
I figured it would be enough, but naturally it was only an educated guess, because you cant know for certain until the thing is actually used(smiley).

had to make the limit high to give people something to shoot for.
few will reach it, especially without having more monsters in the quest(smiley)

It will be cleaned up though.

It should have been enough calculation wise (500points x 24 = 12000points in round3)..
Hmmm.. nah, its not enough at all.. Especially since attacking is now the primary way of getting points (raffle takes too long so you cant expect a stable "point income" there unlike round3)..

Observe it in a few days or so, but I definitely believe its too small..

I think what shifted this imbalance is that you used different denominators (100 for the cash, 24 for the points, I dont know the denominator for the level)..

I don't feel the cash and points conflict eachother, but I do agree that it feels like there isnt enough.
I dont know if its because its a smaller number, and we are used to larger once, or something else, but you are right, it should be observed for a few days.

If it's still crappy on friday night, ill put it up a bit.
