Explorer rankings... again

Alright, so I heard from a few people that their rank isn't moving up, deja vu anyone?

But primarily, I think some people have moved up way too fast, including me. When the system was 'fixed' before, people started zooming up the rankings. I thought I was going to stop at the third or fourth, but instead got Planeswalker, though I haven't explored Magnagora, Nil, Earth Plane, and other Tainted areas yet.

Soo the main thing is... is this how it's supposed to be? The explorers system would look too easy to advance in then. I'm hoping it's not, because Planeswalker doesn't feel special anymore sad.gif Yeah and just raising this issue so the Divine would know about it, if not already smile.gif

I'm STILL broken. I'm totally NOT an itinerant traveller, dangit. I hope that the game's been storing my number of rooms travelled, and just hasn't associated me with the %s, because I'll be totally PO'd if I have to go through it a THIRD time (since someone told me it was fixed, I did it all again.)

We know, but in all honesty there are far more important things to spend time on. There's a major problem with them, but which of these two choices would you like:

1. Spend time, fix explorers
2. Spend time, make new skills/areas/quests/other random fun things

Explorer rating is a pretty superficial thing. I'd sooner see all the other stuff.
Shiri2005-03-19 18:07:28
Well, yeah, I just hope my rank will be properly updated when it finally DOES get fixed. *hope* is this the case?
Shamarah2005-03-19 18:08:04
I concur with Silvanus. Not in so many words though.

Sorry, last time I checked saving rankings was commented out. The bug is in there, but none of us could figure it out quickly enough to fix it.

Glad to see mortals and Divine can agree on one thing atleast. tongue.gif

PPPPFFFFT You guys are worrying over bragging rights? COME ON.
Unknown2005-03-19 19:04:44
Oh alright, great great. I know rankings is hardly a mention but I wanted to get some word on it instead of staying in the dark all this time. Okay, thanks Hajamin, time to continue on this dream plot thing biggrin.gif
Unknown2005-03-19 19:27:29
What is this dream plot you're all talking about? Arggh.

Nothing to see here... move along...

One my my alts is a pacifist and thus rarely needs to sleep, the other is just too damn weak to fight.

No dreams for Guido! sad.gif

There is no such thing as sleep, and dreams are a myth. *nods self*.
Shiri2005-03-19 19:39:55
It's a mage/druid thing. Pff. sleep.gif
Erion2005-03-19 19:46:36
I am content with my current explorers ranking. Don't bother fixing it. Unless you just wanna increase my rank permenantly by 3.
Kharvik2005-03-19 19:58:08
I go to the same exact places everyday and find my rank will randomly go up even though I hadn't gone anywhere new. blink.gif
Unknown2005-03-19 20:00:24
I think it should be a priority to fix things rather than bring new things in. If you keep picking option number 2, you'll eventually find you have a backlog of broken things and nothing works properly.

Mine too. Nothing like ratting and seeing your explorers rank skip a level
Roark2005-03-19 20:31:50
It's a cost/benefit thing. We do things based on having high value and low cost. Fixing exploration will have high cost and low value, which puts it low on the priority list. Though the other factor is how much it annoys me. Exploration is actually starting to annoy me, so perhaps it will get fixed.
