Some small improvements are online.

First of all there's a little improvement on the "go to the master" page. You may have noticed that if you had too many skills to learn, most of them weren't visible. Now they are.

On the hero page now is quickly visible how many tournaments he have won (if any). There is a small cup for each victory.

Moreover an Hall Of Fame has been added to the Tournaments page

And last but not least, finally when you see the hero profile here on the forum (the same profile that you can access from the messages), clicking on the avatar you're redirected to the hero page!


Hope you like them

Well done! I noticed the small cups for each victory showing up. And the Hall of Fame is also very nice, especially since I am in second place on that one!

Are you insinuating that I did it just because I'm the first?

Indeed, it was one of the reasons

I'm happy for any improvements. And redirect to hero instead of login is great!

It seems heroes are not so prone to go on missions lately. Speaking for myself, since I saved the world, my appetite is very low, what's the use, there's no more glory there.

One thing I suspect is that it would get me more attention in the press, I hardly appear in the comic stand these days.

Can the feature be beefed up a bit?

1) More missions - Mwah, that would make it more difficult to reach 100%.

2) Making the Glory max not absolute. How much Glory you get should depend on your current Glory. With high Glory (compared to the mission 'par' ) you would get little extra (1 to 3 points), with low Glory you would get a lot (for high glory missions). For low glory missions (washing police cars) you would not get any glory far above the par, rounding down should result in 0.00 in these cases, or maybe even negative glory, it's rather silly for Superman to be seen washing police cars, don't you think, the Joker would choke to death laughing! . Computational formulas could be derived from for instance ELO rating or similar ladder formulas.

3) Displaying hero icons with missions running and about to start, making it more social.

4) The leader of the mission should be able to raise flags to indicate there are evil/neutral/good vacancies in the mission. These would show up beside the hero icons of 3).

5) The leader should be auto-assigned to steps that he/she can perform (skillwise, assuming ample health), leaving only some steps "To be decided at the last moment". This makes it possible to create an auto-advertising mechanism to advertise vacant steps in "The Daily Hero", attracting more heroes to the mission page, more social. Remember, with 2) it will be worth their while to 'lend their sword'.

6) Bug: On the Latest Mission page, aborted missions are shown, regardless of the date. This gives the false impression (these days) that most missions fail. Please show only the latest 30 missions, regardless of success/failure.

oh well, making a new mission now is not very easy, and anyway will give you just a little amusemente. New missions should be added constantly or not at all, in my hopinion. Consider also that adding a mission now will result in our save the world progress to drop to 99%, which is quite strange :=)

The 2) i think is not a good idea. There's no sense in making glory defeating godzilla for the 1000th time. Maybe some missions created with an engine similar to the one that creates the quest would be better.

3-4) displaying the icons where? On the mission list?
