Stat caps, anybody?

Yeah, I know there's already a stat cap of 4000 - but be honest, who would actually reach that? I'm talking about small caps that increase over time. A few other games on BYOND have these, and since a wipe is on the horizon, it would be a nice feature to add in - for most people. Let me show you what I mean.

First few weeks of wipe: Stat caps is at about... 250. This means that nobody can get any of their stats over that number for some time. This means that players that don't have all that much free time actually have a chance of being one of the stronger players. Since this is the point when all the ranks are getting filled quickly, this means most people have an equal chance of getting the rank they want.

Next few weeks: The cap gradually raises by about 50 every few days. At this point, everybody's more of less settled, there isn't (as) much fighting for orginizations or teams, so people can casually level themselves up/boost their stats without much fear.

And the stats are steadily raised from there. If the game was like this, we wouldn't end up with a helluva load of powerplayers miles above everybody else -coughuknowhocough- and gameplay would be more... balanced, I guess. Of course, players that end up joining later in the wipe would still have some trouble, but hey? What are you gonna do?

Great Idea, I am really a fond of this. It will require some coding because I will have to make it so that Stat Boosters inform you that you've reached the Stat Cap for the time being. I'll have to make it start off at 300 because sometimes Evolutions will give you Stats such as 259, 272, etc.

Unless of course I make it so that your stats are reverted to the Stat Cap for the time being if they are above it.

Thankies :3 - Begins to code-

Nice Idea Katona , This may be the saviour to meat head players that pick on new players and players in training

And kenny you arn't kidding anyone by saying you begin coding =/ If it is true then you obviously must be sick or something because you never begin to code xD

Nice idea, we're going to implement this just not on a weekly basis. If people want to no life go ahead we'll just make the caps what they are in game though.
