Good idea or no?

[senZation]

I think I might have a good idea for what to do with the medal system in games, but I want some feed back. So heres my idea:
The medal are just random acheivements and medal points are worthless... so I think it would be a good idea to make it so that for every 1,000 medal points you get, you could trade them in for 10 experience.
Now that's just an idea I think is pretty cool so, just give me some feedback.

[masterchef56]

Great idea, but if you have the medal picture still, where does the point counter go?

[M0rtality]

No.

'Nuff said.

Sounds like a good idea. You may want to post it in this thread.

Why would we want to trade in a worthless statistic for another worthless statistic? Levels, medals and achievements are for show and bragging rights.

[Arctic-Zone]

It would be better if it were a rewards system. e.g. You get 100 medal points, you get 10 exp points.

I read the title and said to myself "let me go off on this guy"

But now!that idea actually sounds great.Something like this might actually drive people to get medals.kudos to you.

You should get store credit. That way if you trade it in it's actually worth it.

I AGREE! SUPPORT 100 PERCENT!
Sadly, I do not believe Pimp would agree.
He would lose his place.

I agree, except perhaps you could earn store credit by getting a lot of medal points. Not by trading them in.

[ColinPD]

I like the idea.

I just wish almost all games had medals so there could be higher stats.

[sumidiotdude]

Nah, I wouldn't go for it, mainly because there are so many people who have been coming here for ages and would say "HEY, THIS GUY PASSED ME AND I'VE BEEN HERE LONGER! CRYCRYWAAH!"

Besides, so many games in the future will have medals, the system would be flooded.

No, because it would take everything sad and pathetic about someone who spent so much time and effort for all of those achievements away.

There would be actual incentive to play the already addicting flash games on end, justifying all of that time spent...and then there would be a divide between users; the one's that earn their experience by simply voting (the old fashioned way) or the pumped up ADHD kids that violently clicked their way to the top...they'd become unstable and savage, and only thirst to conquer the next game...

...which would take all of the intended fun OUT of the game, and turn it into a hunt...

[senZation]

true, you got a point there. that's why there has to be a limit of some sort, like 5 medals a day or something. and the medals should only go up to 50 points, the highest.

[Ericho]

No way, I would want more experience for those. At least 100.

Oh, and experience points are pointless too.

[THESOULTRAIN]

trudat, trudat.

1000 pionts is a lot for just 10 xp. (plus you look like a loser) also i do agree with that other guy, they're just useless statistics, but they are good for show.

[GeoPowa]

Interesting idea, go alert time!

[THESOULTRAIN]

that would be pretty sick, but they wood never do it, NG would just loose money on their products that no one buys anyway. Now, if you mean getting store credit get DISCOUNTS on stuff in the NG store, then that'll fly, but otherwise...... no.

I like this idea a lot. I want me some free penicorns and shirts.

Can't argue there. No real point in trading stats...

[Skwurll]

a use for medal points??

Yes yes and YES!!!

[luigipwnsmario]

Actually, that is pretty genius.

Really good idea, PM Tom 'bout it

[senZation]

ive been getting positive feed back on this topic and i did post the idea on this topic: Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution MK3. I think my post got deleted though, i honestly don't know. it probably got deleted because important people didn't like the idea so they threw it the trash can for worthless ideas by worthless newgrounds newbies even though i did include the link to this discussion so they could see the feed back.
