custom cloths and clan tables ^^

thanks Zak i couldnt find them haha

Lol

Like the idea of unlocking cue's and that though, could have diffrent ones like football design ones, baseball, basketball what ever sports haha

been mentioned too many times, post up on the other threads

Right, I have done a few examples for cue designs, using a screenshot of the funkypool cue.

The designs are quite restricted as the cues are only about 5 pixels wide.



There is, however, another way to customise cues, which I saw on a pool cue website. I'll tell all once I get a few pics together

Brace yourselves!

wanna see haha hurry

Cue shaft clip-ons:

dude they are awesome like last one on right hand side

Why does it always have to be based on ranks...?

At the moment, look at the players who are top in the overall ranks compared to the legends of this site, who are in the top ten of overall tournament wins.

Rank means nothing to me, if we implemented 'Get higher ranks to unlock better cues", I couldn't imagine how many people would be cheating.

I wouldn't want to see people cheat to unlock a better cue, but there will be a few people who are unforunately sad enough to cheat.

If we based it on tournaments however, you couldn't cheat, there would be more entries in tournaments, and I belive that not only people's skill would develop, but this game would develop too.

I know we need to be fair on these 'Up and coming players" but we should even more take into account, that there are players who have been on this site for years who have earnt hundreds of tournaments, and I really would not like to see them, earning all of that, and it coming down to nothing...

I still believe the cues should be done like google does.

For each special days in the calendar, there is perhaps a symbol or images on the cue that represent that particular day.

We wouldn't like to see people being bored of limited cues. If we did it like google, there would be more people online on a day like Chritmas eve, Haloween or Earth Day. On top of all that, it would be something to look forward too rather than users knowing what to expect each day...

Thanks, Callum.

Wouldn't really liike to see a cue being unlocked simply for coming online

And if you look you'll see most o the ideas are coming from tournys not ranked

I think you need to have everything involved really, means that people who dont like tournys can get involved and the people who have already achieved the highest cue in tournys can go for runouts or something

There has only been three posts about tournaents and the majority of the comments have been abour ranking.

Anyway, here is another idea.

We haven't decided what you need to earn to achieve a cue.

To the right of the cue power and the cue ball with the spin, maybe we could have a selection of cues.

For example:

Your maximum amount of cues you can take to a game is 3.
Each cue does a different job. One could do big shot power, One could produce big spin, and maybe one can have very good cue control.

Opinions...?

noo

only marco and sort of cmurphy have mentioned rank, pretty much everyone else has gone with tournys (marco too)

I dont like the idea of having 3 cues and having to choose or switch, wastes valuable time which you dont have in speed tournys or short time limits

and you should probably be able to pick you cue from options where you can see all the cues you have unlocked (and gaps with how to unlock the ones you havent)

I think the fairest way would be to have a system where you earn points (let's call it "FunkyMoney" for this example).

You would get FunkyMoney for getting to next rank, winning tournys and getting GB'S, Run Outs and 7 Ballings. Maybe even something for beating higher ranked players.

Each achievement would have "Base Points" plus there could be "Bonus Points" for milestones.

You could then use your FunkyMoney to buy cues and other things. These could range from a basic cue right the way up to golden cue. Could also buy a Custom Kit that lets you customise your own cue.

funkymoney has always been of interest to me. I think it would need a completely different ranking section though.
So when you create a game you would either choose ranked, friendly or 'funkymoney ranked'.

I really couldn't care less about the cue really, but yeh, that would definitely be fair Murphy.

based on that and zantes idea here is what i come up with

500 = structure kit (Own Design)
1,000 = bronze
5,000 = crystal
10,000 = silver
25,000 = gold
50,000 = platinum
75,000 = ruby
100,000 = sapphire
125,000 = emerald
150,000 = diamond

would make people work really hard for these cues, what you think, I also like cues structure.
