Another Ranking that Matters (sept 2014)
Walhallah
Dear fellow citizens,
you all know my 'ranking that matters'. Naturally, this raises a few questions and it is by no means the only approach to this game. In the end, the only approach is FUN. Fun keeps us here. However, certain things in this game make it more fun and one of those things is the ability to get around. To make it through the day, to be able to afford enough food and weapons so to say.
Weekstrom once published an interesting approach, that was unfortunately never repeated, but the idea is simple. And it also shows why strength is important. Strength being a key ingrediënt to my X/S mantra, it finds me supporting this approach.
this table shows the costs per million damage for a player, in terms of Q7. I realise i forgot to include food in the table, so perhaps next time. However, its give a nice view and its also more fair on Epix, who felt deeply discriminated against by my X/S ranking.
Find yourself and compare yourself with your peers. Also, it gives an indication which CO's to find when you are on the battlefield.
Improve on this ranking by TRAINING HARDER. There are still so many people that dont train to their potential. Look at the money you are wasting!
=dont forget to join DAF in the process, we like strong players=

Yeah, new interesting numbers 🙂
yeah i thought lets make a ranking that puts you on top for a change..
I'm yellow/green that's better than yellow/orange 😃
So according to you I need to do 50 kills for 1 million damage? How accurate is this, because 9 out of 10 times it only costs me 25 to 30 kills to reach 1 million damage.. Non the less a great job again with the article 🙂 o7
hits 😕= kills. Usually it takes around 2 hits to get a kill.
looks like ur doing fine. at least your costs/mio are lower than for a whole range of D2 players. Good work !
Hit = Mio doesn't add up with me either , 15 to 20 useually does the trick , depends on the enemy's NRG level is it low i do 40k medium 80K & high 120K a hit .
Thats 1, 2 or 3 hits for the kill
Interesting article 🙂
Who gives, I recently received a stack of weapons that will probably serve me until lvl 45 😁
Until then, I'll be earning money with my str.
Mind explaining each tab?
rank is a list with numbers from 1 - infinite with an interval of 1.
citizen = the citizens name in the database
division = division 1-4 and a well chosen division color
hitQ7 = what is the damage you do with 1 hit. Note that usually for a kill between 1 and 3 hits are necessary, resulting in double or triple the damage (and also double or triple usage of Q7 weapons)
hits/mio is the number of hits a player needs to do 1 million damage
costs = the cost of 1 million damage in terms of usage of Q7 weapons at a price of 8cc
Adding food at 0.04 CC/Q would correspond to adding 2CC / Q7 weapon. So that means add ~25% to the costs in the table to get the total costs. Or easier: just read the hits/mio column as costs.
If you fight barehanded (not recommended for division 1-3), you need 3 times as many hits for the same damage, so you only would spend 6 CC / Q7 weapon equivalent. I.e. just subtract 25% from the costs in the table. It really isn't that much more profitable to fight barehanded for COs.
need some improvement...all the best...
For once I'm not in the red. xD
Being in the red has less meaning here than in Walhallah's S/X articles.
Although for D4 that won't matter either way.
For this list: Being in the red as a starting player is really no problem. It just means you should work on your strength more, and ignore COs, as they're not profitable anyway.
So we only have 6 people who can really make a profit from COs at 10 CC/million damage?
A 50% booster by the way can make it slightly easier: If you need
Goddamnit! Why am I not on this list, Walhallah!? 😨
coz i hatez competition 😳
but seriously..no clue... it happens all the time to different people it seems.
I seek vengeance...!
then we shalt meet on the fields of glory ! prepareth thy
I'm actually wondering a bit: What are typical values for COs in the lower divisions? In D4 it's typically 10 or 20. According to the above almost everyone can profit at 20 and only a select group can at 10 (but at least it's less of a loss).
This by the way is also a good reason for most people in D3 not to want to go to D4. Only half of them would make a profit at 20 and noone does at 10.
Oh, Walhallah: nice article by the way.
For D1 it is typically 50-100. Some lower prio battles do 30, but that doesnt attract any damage and if it gets tense it can sometims be 150, but thats rare.
I think those numbers make sense based on this table. 🙂
Most of the damage in D1 will be done by the top players, the ones that indeed will make a profit at 100 CC. The really new players don't matter yet, so there's no need for extravagant rewards.
usually when i set normal CO's it will go like this:
D4: 10
D3: 20
D2: 40
D1: 80
I assume thats roughly supported by this table.
D3 is between 10 and 30
In D4 it's not exactly about making money anymore, but more about being able to fight extra without extra expenses. At least that is how I would see it.
In lower divisions its actually possible to make tons of money by fighting. And invest that for times your XP doesn't matter anymore.
Very nice article again. And indeed I never repeated my earlier article (as MoF, not as a private person, so don't bother searching my personal newspaper). Didn't have the time after it due to my work as MoF/MG/CM/Cmdr and since about 6 months don't wont to spend that amount of time anymore on eRep. All the more reason to applaud you in doing it!
Also nice to see how well the players I'm coaching from the start of their eRep life are doing 😃
thats why i couldnt find it....

numbers \o/
Well done!!!!
lol. I'm not mentioned in the x/s statistics with 0.305 which is a shame, but not being mentioned here wit around 4500 dmg/hit ain't that bad (yet).
Nice work again though.
I'm not doing bad at all....
Good to know that I don't suck that much anymore XD
