Suggestions for a more challenging PVP Competition
I understand that the computation of the final rankings are based on the prestige that each player has the very second the competition ends. The players who were last ranked at borderline region of the cut-off ranks of the different prizes would be the only ones hoping for good news in their mailbox a couple of days later.
Some players who are already far up in the ranking table usually kill off all their troops during the last few days of the competition. Since there are no troops, there are very slim chances that anyone might take their prestige away. Treasures would also be sold off as they may not need them anymore. They may already be tens or even hundreds of thousands prestige count away from the next ranking player and could easily wait out the last few days as they could already be the clear winner. Why not include the final troop count for the final computation of scores as well, together with treasures, resources etc. This may result in a more flexible game play as well as any player with lets say ranking #500 may jump up to rank #300 just because he kept his large troop count safe from harm, has kept his high level treasures, lots of money and resources, and unexpectedly jump up in ranking well above 200 other players.
At least for those who were wiped early in the pvp may not just quit and there are still other options to play the competition to gain prestige or even achievement as well, but of course at a slower rate than to engage in battles. This may reduce the number of quitters early in the game.
To make it more challenging, at the same time players might jump or reduce in rank greatly after the final second of the competition, here are some suggestions:
(1) Include final amount of resources, treasure types held to be calculated as certain amount of prestige.
(2) Include the final troop count which each player has once the PVP competition ends.
(3) To give prestige to the level of techs upgraded.
(4) How about some small amount of prestige to the amount of money each player has at the end of the game? I understand most of us just spend it blindly in the market on the last day. After all this is a 15 day competition and some of us do take lots of effort cracking our brains to trade in the market to grow our money too.
(5) Since there is an achievement ranking, how about creating another competition prize for this category as well? At least for me, I did managed to get a much higher rank in achievement ranking than my prestige ranking for the last one.
At least with these (Hidden Attacks - on the final prestige), it would be more exciting anticipating the results released in a couple of days as in who will come up tops or whichever ranks we finally achieve. How does this sound?
