Better Job Assignment

Post by Zhgorin » 12 Sep 2016, 10:57

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add a system so that the longer you go without getting a certain job, the more likely you are to get it.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Makes it easier to get a popular job.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
If you get a certain job one round all the other jobs get a +1, If you have a +1 in a job you have higher priority than people without a +1, When you get a job you lose all your +1(s) for that job, +1(s) stack, If you have a stack of +1(s) you have higher priority than people with no stack, If you have a large stack of +1(s) you have higher priority than people with a small stack of +1(s)

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Make changes to the current job assignment system that is used at round-start.

A small note, I made this mainly with the Specialist in mind.

Basically, the more you miss the job you want, more chances you'll get it next time? This reminds me of something...

this'll lead to people readying up at roundstart, without spec pref on, then heading straight to cryo to do something else so they get them +1s

might improve server pop though, it'll be like MMORPG dailies
So this is what cluwning feels like?

I assume it'll only trigger if you have the preference...
