Yohane1 Privateer 283 posts 28,614 battles Report post #1 Posted July 25, 2016 Hey there WG. im happy to play this game, and i tend to see the good of the players. Would it not be nice to give a benefit for those who are in positive karma. And not just any regulare like +1 is good. But from a certain point. f.e. 50 or 100+. So for those players who like to play and help out on certain things in order to keep the community positive and happy. Instead of making players pink when ur a teamkiller, give certain colors to those who behave more often bad or good. Like Green for Good/Friendly players. Regards, Yohane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[UNICS] loppantorkel Players 4,506 posts 15,942 battles Report post #5 Posted July 25, 2016 They could make it so that reporting only works from upper class Karma to lower class Karma... The plebs would be useless for unreasonable reports 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ONE2] RAHJAILARI Players 3,160 posts 31,670 battles Report post #7 Posted July 26, 2016 Heh, might be nice. Since there is no real benefit on karma (or is there, tell me if I'm wrong because i wanna know), it would be just a nice addition. It would probably lead to an increase in envy-reporting but then again one does not need to take so bloody seriously right? I'm all for this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ONE2] RAHJAILARI Players 3,160 posts 31,670 battles Report post #10 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) True dat, but that doesn't bother me actually. All in the spirit of some fun you know. Not to be taken too seriously. I rarely get recommendations myself, as I often fail to chat during the game (i am slow, so it takes all my attention to just pay attention to what I'm doing and chatting usually gets me killed real fast). But this sound like a bit of rather harmless fun for the time being. Edited July 26, 2016 by RAHJAILARI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EXNOM] Spuggy Players 557 posts 6,203 battles Report post #14 Posted July 26, 2016 Game should ask you to nominate a "Most Valuable Player" at the end of the match. The person with the most votes gets Positive Karma + an MVP medal. If you don't nominate a player it will default to the player with the most XP. I know it can be abused but you get nothing particularly useful out of it other than possibly some recognition from the players. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To my understanding, this is the very reason why positive karma thingy exists. Although I agree with you that votes from the same division members should be excluded.

I meant that when you run into the same people, i.e. from friendly clans, they might give you a +1 regardless. Yah, this might be an issue. However, if division members can be excluded, so are the upcoming clans. As for unofficial clans, if a player managed to get such a big list of friends (which remember each other without additional tags) that his karma is significantly skewed, in my eyes he deserves to have high karma - he must have did something good to befriend so many people. After all, groups of assholes are more of an exception than a rule Even if karma would be associated with bonus XP in specific battle, it is difficult to meet friends reliably. So the easiest way to artificially boost karma and rip rewards from it is to simply be nice to everyone. And that is kinda win-win situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RNS] lilgoth Beta Tester 201 posts Report post #20 Posted July 26, 2016 i would love to see positive Karma being rewarded in matches, maybe with a tangible bonus as well ( maybe +5% xp gain or something ) and a similar nerf to bad karma ( -5% xp ) hopefully it would reduce the amount of people in the game who start hurling insults at their team and generally making a complete fool out of themselves because they were sunk, and promote teamwork and constructive comments ( as people would be fishing for +1 Karma ) I could well see myself giving a +1 to an enemy player who takes the time to write 'nice shot, well played' etc into the chat, or a friendly that Escorts a BB etc and a -1 to someone who yells out 'F*****G HAX' ( along with various comments about my mother ). It would both punish A-Holes and reward decent folk and give an incentive to get good Karma. Sure it is open for abuse for people with large clan networks, but any reward system can be abused if you try hard enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZoidFile ∞ Players 569 posts 12,052 battles Report post #23 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Maybe WG could add a new signal that only gets awarded for karma points. One karma point grands you 10 flags. So the system would make finally some kind of sense. It would be a nice bonus for the players and people would see that you have good karma (for ten games at last) and it has otherwise no lasting effects for the game economy.
