Flexible Sprint Start with In-Game Time Tracking and Leaderboard
Just a suggestion to help sprints feel more fair for everyone involved. I know it isn’t perfect but I’m hoping you guys can maybe build upon it so we have a better system.
- When sprints open everyone has a week or two to start their “sprint” whenever they please (this eliminates the time inconvenience for some people).
- Whenever you choose to start your sprint, all your IN GAME time is then tracked until you complete all the sprint challenges. Whoever has the fastest time gets #1 and so on.
- Whenever you finish there is a leaderboard showing who currently has what place/serial number. At the end of the week everyone is then rewarded based on what place you earned. Going forward, after the first week, the skin is rewarded the same way it is now.
Possible cons of this way:
Players can spend time coming up with the best method to complete each challenge before they start to get a better chance at #1. You can maybe fix this by adding a score/time multiplier for people who start their sprint right away.
Players can snipe their friends and farm the challenges.
Players may not like the idea of having to wait to unlock the skin after completing challenges
The system we have currently is cool, but going forward the only people who can compete for #1 will be 6stacks queue sniping each other and farming the challenges. I think the sprint is a great idea but if it doesn’t stay fair and competitive for everyone, it will backfire.
