Arcade

[scottish]

Can we switch back to ibProArcade. It has much better layout and it had a lot better features (such as tournaments)

pls @xxMATTGxx;

If we can't change then first of all can the arcade be fixed on the Non Habbo Dark Skin



and can we redo the arcane, so reset the scores, add a few other games and actually maintain it, rather than leaving it to collect dust.

Actively encourage people to use it, whether that means waiting a few months then offering people rewards for beating scores etc or whatever else.

Templates don't magically look nice by changing the plugins, it's because none of them have ever been edited to make it look nice 100% with the skins we have. That's why it looks perfect on the default vbulletin skin that comes with every vbulletin.

If someone reminds me on Saturday I will fiddle around with the template for the dark skin to make it look nicer.

reset the scores? i object!
for obvious reasons.

The high scores that are currently there are the only thing motivating the current people to use it. Getting it more active would obviously be a huge mistake and you should all just forget it exists.

I just looked at ibProArcade. Apparently ---MAD--- helped make it.

Could always look at importing the high scores.

Scott has rose-tinted glasses cos the tournament system was always buggy and terrible (it not actually moving people up when they should be etc).
---MAD--- did a ---BAD--- job (this is a joke rosy would do, this 1 is for her).

I was responding to scott's OP which is calling for a reset of the arcade. I'd like some new games, not too fussed about tournaments (see above) but I disagree with resetting the scores.

Reset the scores just to annoy Mike he's a hacker anyway but yeah tournaments were crap and the old system would constantly either not record any score at all or randomly give you millions of points for 7 seconds of gameplay

In closing, don't change the system to the old one but do delete Mike's scores because it'll be funny

The arcade needs a new lease of life, and score resets would be something I'd encourage as it's obviously going to get people into it as there's not some stupidly high 300 million score to try to beat.

So it would encourage old people to get into it to achieve their old score, and new people as they feel as though they can actually get a score.



MAD didn't help make it, he gave feedback on bugs which the developer then fixed so probably why he was credited within that.

I'm not a hacker, took me ages to get those especially the Android one lmao took me like a thousand goes
And it wouldn't change anything. The same old people would use it. If that was the case, we'd be resetting post count to encourage newer people to feel like they can reach the top and that wouldn't matter because older members would be encouraged to get their post count back to where it was. It's a totally bogus argument.

Not really, the arcade could easily be more advertised and attention brought to it via tournaments and other 'rewards' for participation within it.

However if you go on a game and see someone with a score of like 30 million and you got 10k on your first go, how likely are the majority to attempt to get a high score? They're not.

I never use the arcade as the scores are stupidly high and there's no encouragement for me to get them apart from a little bit at the side saying gz you got 4 medals or something

Reset score, advertise it more, hold more tournaments with actual rewards, offer other rewards too for example maybe January = this game, person with highest score at the end of the month wins <insert prize here>. Add more games, actually maintain the arcade rather than just having it sit there.

Hell I'd even go as far as saying clean out the arcade every 3 months (score-wise)
