Over the last 10 days, I've been asking Tengagers if they think we should put in more color levels past TV star! Over 105 users responded, and I have the results!
Agree to some extent: 57.6%
Disagree to some extent: 32.1%
Neither Agree nor Disagree: 10.4%
A lot of strong opinions on this lighthearted topic! Although just over half of users agree there should be more color levels, it should be noted 83% of those who agreed, agree strongly. So what should these new color levels be (if any)?
Rperduex11 brought forward an interesting concept, a prestige based system for color levels. "It’s been proposed plenty of times, but I think it would be simple to do the prestige system. So after TV star level, you would go back to white, but you’d get an emblem of some type (perhaps a star) that signifies that the user has passed TV Star". Certainly an easy way to stir more activity on the site and get players joining games again to rise through the ranks. Who wouldn't want to be the first player to make it to a prestige TV star level?
Many players also stated that they believe more color levels should be introduced, considering the amount of TV star users who have nowhere else to go, nor any other ranks worth aspiring towards.
Although many agreed, there were plenty of users with strong opinions against new color levels. Another interesting concept was brought forward by EmzThorne, who stated "Color Levels are boring... I think we should have Icons next to our Colour Level for like breaking records, or just something that isn't color levels. Something else to achieve rather than just Karma, Karma, Karma". Another interesting and easy way to customize users profiles. Why not have users win a little pin/tag to put on their profile when they win Stars? Something like "I finished 1st in Stars #123". These achievements could be acquired for all sorts of games, even group games could bring out some neatly designed pins for profiles.
All of these kinds of ideas are easy ways to spur users into action, and hopefully aid games that need to fill faster. Obviously there is still the current issue of multis and cheaters, and those will need to be taken care of before these new solutions can be implemented. But certainly it'd be an easy way to get Tengaged active again among all types of users.
In any case, what are your thoughts about the addition of new color levels? Should we introduce a prestige system? An achievement system with pins and badges? Maybe even both, or something entirely different! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. And as always, thanks for tuning in to #10DaysOfTengaged. See you guys next time!
