Re: (Nutaku) PeroPero Seduction
honestly, I gotta say the current system (for princesses) seems pointless.
Chaika mentioned they once tried dividing the points over number of supporters in jp? That actually seems more fair to me.. why didn't that work?
That system worked I guess, but the difference was insane. If you chose the wrong girl, you pretty much never had a chance to win. Say one card had 10,000 followers, and the other had 50,000. For one, the sheer numbers could actually hurt you since it was off of win percent. (Lots of lowbies always losing dragged the whole team down by reducing the win ratio.)
Another version was I believe just off the point system, and then divided by the followers, so again, the popular girl would be in trouble because low activity players made it so everyone else had to pick up the slack for them.
Considering the fact you have no control over who else picks what card and unless you waste a day or so to see the trend on the cards, it just didn't seem to be as friendly. The current setup encourages more 'teamwork' on all sides to try and fight/push for your princess at certain points, and keeps everyone in the game rather than one card getting way ahead, and the backers of the other two just giving up. It may not be perfect, but it makes sense on the business side to at least keep everyone active. It also keeps it interesting in the last hour when everyone goes crazy in all the events trying to keep/maintain their rank.
*Don't quote me on these setups, as I'm trying to remember the details of one or two events of each setup that happened 1-2 years ago. I'm sure we probably explained it somewhere in the Ulmf thread at the time, but good luck finding it.
@Sza I don't ever remember the JP version ranking off of the point system; it was always just straight wins. I think it was just attack wins too. (Defense wins had their own ranking tab that no one could ever really compete over.) When they used 'points' it wasn't a 3 or 1, but rather the lane win number, and if you defended and lost say 2 to 3, the 2 defensive lane wins would at least still count toward your princess/idol.
