Official Warcount Leaderboard

Hello, im here to suggest again an official warcount ranking.


The issue to the last siggestion was that we still were on 1.19 and starting a new leaderboard would just disconsider previous thousands of wars from some people and make the community mad. However, with 1.20, warcount was already reset and its now being officially tracked for the tome slots.


Just like professions and combat levels, warcount is a stat many players grind. Unfortunately, its very hard to compete warcount with others since the only way to see eachothers warcount is seeing a screenshot of the tome slot of the other ppl. I believe warcount fits the theme to be included in wynncraft.com/stats and would bring even more representability to the guild community. As someone that grinds warcount, i can assure that having an official leaderboard would also be an extra incentive to devote time on wynncraft.


Im pretty sure failed wars count towards warcount rn, so for this to work that would have to be changed and only successful wars be counted in the warcount.


I believe this idea is simple to be implemented, will gave a good enough impact and i see no cons to it. Thanks for reading, constructive criticism is much appreciated!

 

Yes failed wars do count. People can just hub out immediately or die and they will get a +1 in the tome slot thing. There should 100% be a war leaderboard.

 

yesssssssssss

 

mmmmm any challenge mode leaderboard enthusiasts

 

literally entering a war is +1

also please, i'd love a leaderboard badge

 

Really it should track both wars entered and successful wars so you can get a success rate too, would be a lot more interesting then just having a single number. Great idea though, there really should be more leaderboard metrics.

Would be extra cool if it tracked stuff like total mob kills, average players per war, average successful war duration and individual kills too but that might be asking a little too much :/

 

There is technically already unofficial war leaderboards by motobot, although it is outdated.

Fun fact: Moto exclusively counts wars after Federation. It does not actually show all-time wars hehe -Only wars post-Fed. It is basically a leaderboard of guild war count after the Federation, around that time.

Personally I am not very fond of the idea because there are already warcount leaderboard. People can just share their stats if they want.

Not to mention this mainly would just give clout to attacking guilds because allied guilds, in the form of a mega alliance, can barely move lmao

I sort of want to get away from warcount because this system is much more than brain dead warring and people just grinding wars like they did back then. The game actually involves a lot of strategy so it favors strategy over physical power and just attacking territories.

 

leaderboards are things that would uh promote more wars so uh those mega allied guilds you are talking about would have more to attack.
leaderboards are more of a qol thing anyway its just nice to have and is useful when dealing with promotions and comparing stats and such.

 

Having a leaderboard can be so much more useful then for just comparing basic stats though, if done right (see what I wanted above) they would also allow guilds to be more informed about other guilds fighting strength which would make warring far more interesting since it would become more of a numbers game. You could also purposefully sandbag to spread misinformation which could be cool too. Of course, all that depends on what metrics are shown, if they're not going to show more then territories and a running war count then there's basically no point to having them at all.

 

Warcount statistics are something I am in great favour of. Having a dedicated leaderboard and extensive info like Sg_Voltage suggested is probably a bit overkill (and i dont think those stats are saved anyway) but having a simple wars and warsSuccessful field in the API would allow community based leaderboard like the ones that already exist for most stats.

 

A man can dream :(

Technically some of the stats were at least recorded (probably not stored anywhere) back when it showed most damage, most kills and most healed at the end of wars though since that's gone they're probably not anymore. Regardless of that though, some stats is better then none, even if it's just for the sake of curious people who want metrics to compare guilds beyond current territories.
