11:18 - cg: we did have dynamic before, but it meant people would lower in levels over time if they're inactive
11:18 - cg: in a couple of years, we might have to raise them
11:18 - cg: right now they're...
11:19 - cg: 0, 0.01, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000

Assuming it didn't change since the beta, the level counts the non-bundle giveaways + the bundle giveaways up to 20% of the non-bundle ones. (No more free 30$ from bundle)

The gift sent is the total value of games sent regardless if they're bundle games or not.

then how do you know if something was bundled nowadays? no indication until you reach the level up point that you should have? and have not? the asterisk is gone..

I don't like idea of retroactive revaluation of giveaways with low amount of entries. Now i have lower level than guy who gave only bundled games... Making puzzles for people was wrong idea...

No. There is a bit of math to it, and there is a certain number of people in each of the higher levels. L10 will only have 10 users at a time, IIRC.

I guess I'm at a decent level but I feel no inclination to want to either keep my level or level up further because of this. If I did then the way I see it is that I'll never truly know what it will take to get me to level 9 or avoid dropping to 7 so it would be slightly difficult anyway. Yeah, I could look at people's profiles who were on those levels but by the time I made my GA's they could have made some too.

I might atypical here, but it's not something that I can see myself ever being bothered about really. I'll just continue to give away stuff when I want and whatever level that gets me then fine.

Yeah. I feel more apathetic about this then the CV-system. At least with CV, it was an objective amount (even with the bundle-giveaway rule).

This level system? I don't care - just like I don't care about it at Playblink or Gameminer.

I like the idea of a level system though it would be nice to see more information on how it is calculated. Do bundle games contribute less for instance?

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

It goes something like this if I can recall correctly: The last place guy of level 10 determines the level of other people. The requirements for a certain level are not fixed, they change, you may be level 6, but as long as the last guy (lowest contributor of level 10) keeps donating, the requirements for levels rise, so tomorrow you may be level 5. Bundle games, I think, no longer count towards your level progression. I think this is how it works, feel free to say I'm wrong, guys how know this thing for sure.

My CV was $442 and i"m level 4. I'm not fond of the new level system. its too amorphous and vague. A dollar value is a clear marker of progress, even if the math behind it was a little convoluted. Now its convoluted math hidden behind unknowable levels.

Those lvls limit all these things. Here is an example of how I think: Now we have (let's say) 10 levels and that's it. When we had CV there was infinite number of levels. How is it? Well, we could compare each lvl to the smallest difference between one CV and another CV. For example, lvl 1 = $0.01 CV.. Lvl 2 = $0.02 and so on. Having 1-10 levels instead of 1-'infinite' levels limits everything very much, doesn't it?

I hope to see CV system back since it was more fair to those who aren't that rich.

Everyone should be equal on this site. As long as they gave away at least one game, bundled or not.

It should be friendly ESPECIALLY to the poorer people who just can't afford to buy games, not to the rich people who can already buy every game they want >_<
