Adventure Points

Inthractus · 01-11-2009, 06:51 PM

I always wondered how these were set. As no matter what you do, how complex you make your adventure, no matter how many things you have to kill, collect, examine etc it always seems to be 15 points! How the heck do you get your adventures to have more points? I'm getting fed up with it always being 15 points, I mean why can't it be 20 or 35???

Once about 20 people have played an adventure, the number of points will start to change. After that, various factors such as difficulty and number of plays will affect the actual number of points.

I was just wondering: does rating also affect point total?

Ghelae · 01-11-2009, 08:16 PM

I don't think so, no.

Rebecca1208 · 01-11-2009, 08:25 PM

The more people fail at it, therefore the higher the win:loss ratio or higher the difficulty, the more points it gets.

If loads of people complete it easily, it shall be less rewarding.

Blooming typical, so unless you are one of the lucky bunch who always gets featured items and lots of people down loading your stuff, you are stuck with adventures being at 15 points. The highest number of plays I've had for a games is 8. I mean why can't things be a bit fairer on those of us, ie the vast majority, who aren't popular and are never likely to get many people playing our adventures?

Yeah, it is pretty difficult. I did see an interesting guide for getting noticed somewhere, I think on the Sporum. The gist of it was that everything comes back to you-spend time on the MPN list making good comments and your name gets thrown out there and your reputation goes up. Sounds feasible. Still, I do agree with you.

Shrooblord · 02-11-2009, 07:24 PM

You know, advertising your new Adventures (like I'm doing right now (look at my sig)) can also get you more points, just because more people will notice you have a new Adventure and might play it too.

P.S.
Tell me what you think of my new Adventure (if you want to)!

Rebecca1208 · 02-11-2009, 07:38 PM

Advertising is a great way to gain attention, especially on the Sporum.

If you all want, I can show you the guide on how to be noticed?

I'm going to down load it and have a go. It is doable like, I mean I'm not going to get halfway through and meet some impossible situation that there is no way out of? Hate it when people do that.

Adventure points are set by difficulty, 99% of the players loses means 100 points (thats max) if ALL players can do it its 5 points (thats min)

It is determined by how many completes your adventure actually, so if someone just quits in mid becouse they gtg or something then it counts as an loss which does so the adventure is "harder"

It is possible to clear, but you have to have a good eye for detail at some points, for example, you will need to be cautious of your surroundings and remember where some objects were, but this is only once and there aren't that many objects in the game to remember. My guess is it should be fairly easy to do, if you know what to do.

Rebecca, I'd like to hear about this guide. Could you please explain in more detail?

RedAlertOn, what do you mean by 'gtg'?

Rebecca1208 · 04-11-2009, 07:21 PM

Shrooblord- "gtg" or "g2g" means "got to go".

Also, the guide, I decided to post one of them in Spore creative >> GUIDE: How to Get Your Creations Seen and Commented!
