I play amazing tiny galaxy games yet even after I rip the AI hands down in record time on Normal, Crippling, and Tough I get rewarded for my speed conquests with 4000-6000 scores. Yet people that play for 560 years in Gigantic galaxies for the sheer sake of it get 4.5 million scores????

I think I agree with the rebalance, remove the length as a factor to the scoring, or invert it so blitzers are rewarded for quick games especially in a GIGANTIC game.

-J

but there again i can see why some ppl b(most) that i know are complaining now (yes even those who arn't getting the high scores (over 100,000) already are winging now that it seems imopissible to get scores anywhere near that..

IOts like employing someone and giving them $100,000.00 / 10 year employment then suddenly telling them that their efforts are still appreciated but now they will only be taking home $20,000 for the same abount of work.. I'm sure that you'd complain too..

There has to be some sence of achievement.. and with scores under 100,000 its no longer there.. and some of the ppl i know (most) are now thinking of stopping playing because no matter how they play they can't get a decent return..

As for the meta its a great deal part of the game for many of us.. its not just a high score list.. its an extention of the game itself (some say the game itself is mearly a steping stone to the meta) If you look at the galactic map you'll see what i mean.. your scores help your empire..

For those of you who reckon that they don't care what score they get then good on you... but don't put us down when we find ways to achieve great scores and you don't.. Some recok that scores don't matter, then winge that others are getting more than them that its unfair that they are doinbg so.. Those are the hipocrites that i can't stand .. as they say one thing and then say another... If you can only play a game x houts a day then save the game and come back rto it
(thats how i do it) don't ecpect to be able to get the decent scores in 1 session unless yoiu are really good and a devoted player..

Don't worry the meta is set up so that those who flood the meta with games get only a part of those games in their full score to help balance the time factor.. but like i've said before if you want the prize you have to work for it

alas i think that the scores over 100,000 are a thing of the past and like all currency when theres too much of it they devalue it.. lol and those of us who have those notes are the loosers in the end

As for the re-calc i agree it should be done already.. but SD may be having problems.. as the loads on the servers are still extreamly high.. and doing a re0-calc would bog them down even more... so they have to choose wisely as ppl are already complaining about the speed of the servers.. so give them a chance.. (and yes i'm one of those ppl whoes scores are going backwards.. i've droped about 5 plaves in the list and my empire has droped 2 .. all in my last 4 submitted games)

There is no sense in arguing until the scores get recalculated.

I'm just curious to see how much the scoring change affects rankings. I started out in the low 200s and then dropped pretty fast into the mid 300s just by playing games with the beta scoring change.

Well, I am looking forward to recalulation as well. My last three games hve seen my score drop, but not as drasticlally as some. But it is all relative. Not getting as high of scores in 1.1 as in earlier versions will all work out once the recalc takes place (if it is done correctly).

It may be just me, but I cannot imagine stopping playing such a good game due to Metaverse inconsistencies. I figure I would be playing this game plenty even of there was no Metaverse at all. I like the Metaverse concept, and want it, but the game's the thing. If it isn't fun, then I won't play it. If it is, then I will. GALCIV 2 is fun.

I am a little puzzled as to why Stard Dock does not just say, "We're still working on it - its taking longer then we anticipated and here's why..." or something like that.
