Victory points, experience points, fame points and ranking

Hail Gladiators,

Over the course of the last few weeks, we’ve introduced you to a number of different changes. In addition to other topics, we’d like to provide a bit more information about the new experience points which will replace the existing victory points. Thank you very much for your feedback which we’ve used to make these new changes.

Victory points/Experience points
In order for you to measure up against other opponents in the arena, we’d already added victory points to Gladius2 in the past. Victory points are used to reflect the success of your gladiators. To make duels in the arena even more exciting, we’ve optimized this system even further.

Facts:
With the update, the existing victory points will be replaced by experience points (EP). Experience points can be gained just like victory points by winning PvP and PvE fights. PvP victories are still much more profitable than PvE wins. You’ll also continue to gather more experience when your opponent has a higher level than you. The level of a gladiator will be determined by the number of experience points gained. To reach a higher level, you’ll need to have a specified number of experience points. As soon as you’ve advanced a level, your experience points will be set back to zero. In the past, if your gladiators were defeated in battle, then all experience points were lost; this will no longer happen. In the future, you’ll be able to keep your experience points – even if you’re defeated!

Advantages of the experience point system:

Experience points gained in battle won’t be lost!

Regular playing will be rewarded

Collection of experience points through PvP & PvE duels plus various quests

Influence the collection of experience points with special items or events

-Fame points
You can prove just how strong you really are not just with experience points but also with fame points. These points show all the other gladiators how great your reputation is in the arena.

The more fame points you have, the greater your reputation will be. With fame points, a world of opportunities greater than you could have ever possibly imagined will open up to you. They are much more than just some meaningless value in the game!

Facts:
In addition to experience points, you can gather fame points. Starting at a certain number of fame points, new features and elements in the game will be activated. Fame points don’t just reflect your reputation, but also help to bring you a lot further in the game.

You’ll receive fame points when you defeat an opponent who has at least the same level as you. The fame points will be rewarded to the player who attacked the opponent first, but only if he/she remains in the fight to the very end. They won’t be divided among all attackers.

There will also be a separate ranking for fame points where you can compete. All fame points received will be counted there.

Advantages of the fame point system:

Shows even more what you’re made of

Receive great features for your clan or for yourself

Shows other players your status and experience level!

-New ranking
We know how important a good comparison is to you, and that’s why we revaluated the rankings during the course of the update.

Facts:
A good comparison to other players is only possible with a clearly structured ranking. For this reason, the following rankings will be introduced in the new update:

Best players

This ranking shows the best player accounts. All your gladiators’ values will be factored in for this ranking.

Best gladiators

This ranking shows the best gladiators. All the values of each and every gladiator will be factored in for this ranking.

Most kills

This ranking will show the most kills made. If 2 or more players have the same amount of kills, they will be listed in alphabetical order.

Most fame points

This ranking shows the players who have collected the most fame points. This ranking applies to all gladiators in one account!

Highest level

This ranking shows which players have reached the highest levels. This applies to every single gladiator.

If two players have the same level, the player with the most experience points will be put in thetop position (EP comparison).

If two or more players have the same level and the same amount of experience points, the player who reached that level and amount of experience points first will be put in the top position (Time comparison).

Best kill ratio

This ranking shows the “Kill/Die“ ratio (Comparison between victories and defeats) of each individual gladiator.

Best clans

This ranking shows the best clans. This is determined by a clan’s total amount of fame and the total amount of experience points.

Best duel players

This ranking shows who has won the most duels.

Best quest players

This ranking shows who has completed the most quests.

Hall of Fame (Jackpot battle winners)

This ranking lists all the users who won a prize in the Jackpot battle.

The ranking indicates the username and the date of victory.

It is sorted according to date. The most current date will always be shown first.

The new rankings allow you to have an exact picture of your current position in the world of brutal arena fights.

Note:
Since the development phase has not yet been completed, all information in the game is subject to change. We still reserve the right to make all changes that we see necessary.
