Swimmingly he/him Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 what it sounds like... Please tell me if it's there, I just could not find it.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 There is no officially available list but some enterprising members have endeavored in making one. (This is one such thread in which people have been discussing it and has links to the rest)
Chaos he/him Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I gotta keep the mystery up somehow, right? 1
Chaos he/him Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm not sure where I should announce it, but I think the ceiling for reputation levels is a bit too low, especially if you consider how high a lot of people will be next year or so. So I am going to be changing the reputation levels. It will be a very drastic change that will allow for a great deal more progression, as right now, after you hit 128 and get Shard, the ranks are few and far between. To get an idea of how many ranks I'll add, there are currently about 16 positive rep levels (this was unintentional, though funny). I'm brainstorming and we have about 60+ right now. So have fun trying to figure them all out when I get it done 3
bartbug he/him Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Does this mean that I missed a bunch of levels? There are a bunch of cool powers I will never have. NOOOOO! 2
Chaos he/him Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Well don't say never, but let's just say that Brandon's current rank will not be the ceiling of the rep levels. 1
askthepaperclip he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I was just thinking about this...it looks like the membership has surged recently and with it seems to have come a marked acceleration in rep giving/receiving. I'm not complaining, and personally am glad to see the rep flow increase a bit (everyone likes the warm fuzzies they give, right?), but I was curious how the admins would handle it. Looking forward to seeing what you came up with! 3
Chaos he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It's going to be fun trolling you guys with really obscure titles from the cosmere. 2
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Please tell me King's Wit will be one of those titles 4
Chaos he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 That is a very safe assumption. The current count of new reputation levels is 84. This is going to be fun 1
Peng the Just he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 that sounds like a blast. when can we expect this update?
Chaos he/him Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'm not quite sure. I may need to wait closer to Words of Radiance, but mostly, even though I have the names of each rep level, I want to make to sure their distribution is pleasing, so I'll have to use some math on it to make it good. 1
Chaos he/him Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm double posting, because judging by the upvotes, people are interested in how the changes are going. Progress on the new scheme goes pretty well. I think I'm pretty close to finishing where the levels are at. The increase is much more linear, though as the rep goes up, its slope increases. So, it's basically a piecewise linear function, which is always increasing. The first 0-100 reputation is a little odd because I like fitting the powers of 16 in with nice powers of ten. This means that in that those first 100, sometimes the step between rank 6 and 7 may be lower than the difference between rank 5 and 6. I don't really foresee this mattering much, considering that's how the low levels are now, and no one seemed to care I'll need to make sure that after 128, the deltas between the ranks are at least nondecreasing. I think I mostly have it figured out, though. Now comes the difficult part, in placing each title with each number! Some facts (preliminary, of course): -There are currently 80 tiers of rep rankings. -A little over 25% of them are the range from 0 to 128. -A little over 50% of them are the rankings from 0 to 1024, the current cap of ranks. So that means there's plenty of progression at higher levels that should be fun! 1
Peng the Just he/him Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 how many of the new levels are negative?
Chaos he/him Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Those 80 levels are actually the nonnegative ones. I haven't started working on the negative rep levels. 1
Shardlet he/him Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I had wondered how soon the changes would occur since we currently have six incarnations of The Broken One. Edited January 23, 2014 by Shardlet
Chaos he/him Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 That will still probably happen eventually with the extremely high rep levels, but that can't be helped.
Claincy he/him Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Uh oh! I had better hurry up and hit shard before the change happens. Just so I at least reached it once Seriously though, this is cool. Having more rep levels will be very nice
Swimmingly he/him Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Will every magic system be making an appearance in this?
Bloodfalcon he/him Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Will every magic system be making an appearance in this? Most of them do right now, right? Anyway, you've already mentioned it, Chaos, but the hard part will be deciding which rank corresponds with each level. Right now some of it seems a little backward. Like a Shardbearer being higher than a Mistborn? I think that is the case, which sounds off. Oh, also it would be really cool if hitting that rep level gave you access to the title, and you could then choose which one to display. Like I would Rather be a Knights Radiant than a Hero of Ages, honestly. That idea might be making it too complicated though. Edited February 19, 2014 by Bloodfalcon 4
Swimmingly he/him Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 I like that idea. I'm using my phone, so I don't normally look at total rep anyway.

Like I would Rather be a Knights Radiant than a Hero of Ages, honestly. That idea might be making it too complicated though. I'd up you by more than one if I could Bloodfalcon. I forget what the level was right after mistborn, (Elantrian?) I was a little dissapointed when I made it. At the time I believe I said (out loud) "But I used to be so much cooler"
Chaos he/him Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I don't think that will be technically feasible. That said, in the new system, you'll have much more discovery and progression
Swimmingly he/him Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 There needs to be a level called "Cosmere Colluder", maybe right after 17th Shard Trainee.
