We all know Vizzed is renowned for it's forums and it's eccentricities... I have but one issue with the entire site and that is the leveling system, we all know you can spend months idling on Vizzed and just rack up EXP one at a time, or endlessly trawl the forums for something you can post on without sounding like an Idiot or an A**hole {pardon my french}.

What I and many other Vizzed gaming regulars have noticed is a distinct lack of EXP earning for playing the games in the first place, we could change that quite possibly with a fair number of ideas.

1st. We have a very simple solution previously put up by other forum members... EXP packs in the item shop?, sounds like a fair go, but how would one see about fair pricing it? for the higher levels, buying 100XP XP packs would be ridiculous as it barely cuts a swathe in the EXP bar. On the upside it does make it easier to price rather than trying to code a 10% XP item that has to price up according to your level.

2nd. XP for uploading our gaming videos, it takes a long time for most uploads to actually get on the internet due to slow connections these days and makes it rather painstaking as it racks up our downloads and net bills. Sounds feasible but it too has a problem, you forget to link your video to this site? kablooey, gone, no XP.

3rd. {my personal favourite} GETTING XP FOR BUYING GAMES: simple elegant and can be easy to look into as I spend a lot of time actually playing the games, rather than forum trawling {I don't usually use forums for excess spam, flaming, confusing searches, limited access and so on}, or even constantly writing nonsense reviews or other things

You guys tell me your other ideas and lets help Davideo7

The exp is a measure of how much you posted. It would make the measurements inaccurate if you can simply but exp. In the exp packs thread was a lot more detail. 

Well, I play hours upon hours of games and get nothing more than just the gameplay, I have bought quite a few games and 90% of them are RPG or RPG based, and I use the EXP as a way to rate my gaming prowess and perseverance in managing to get to the higher levels, I have taken the format of the statistics on this site and use it in many RPG based Roleplays out of site and it hinders evolution to know I have to post continuously when I myself am not a native to the Forums so I'm continuously getting lost sifting through the endless lists trying to find that which even sounds remotely familiar.

Being a huge gamer on a site like Vizzed, as awesome as all the games are, providing a stats bonus for posting in a forum when you don't understand them, is as dangerous as plonking yourself in a den of lions. This is my main reason for starting this thread in the first place, adding to the fact I'm not known for my social skills as I will blatantly admit that I lack severely and that causes a fair few problems of insults via blatantly oblivious remarks or outright honesty.

I would be all for overhauling the exp system if it had any effect on the forum at all but it doesn't. It is a completely meaningless stat that came along with the original forum coding.

If the levels had significance then I could understand more ways to earn it but it doesn't so why bother earning it?

I assume you mean in ways of unlocking extras and the like?, for now there is no point, until Davideo finally creates his little PVP system. The point of collecting it though is obvious at the moment, the entire point is to show how active you are

yeah, but the new CP system already captures that in different ways.

And if you think David is ever going to finish a PVP system on here you are being tricked. We've been waiting for one for 4 years now I think. Maybe more. I really don't think it's going to happen because there are other things more worthwhile for him to do.

Davideo is doing everything he can to keep the site working, I've been playing a game called Sword Quest for years and they were constantly talking about bringing out an adventure mode, this was done for over four years.

so my response to the fact he will never get to it?, bull dust. I believe in him and after I finish my software programming courses, I plan to volunteer and help him get this site to it's full potential.

I think that would be great if you could contribute to the programming but I don't know if David wants help. He's had bad experiences with people trying to help contribute to the site with programming of their own.

Well, that's up to him, if he accepts my help I will do my best to do so. I do not wish to force my ideals and such upon him. Though otherwise I'll spend my time trying to finish all the games I bo.ught
