metal sharing

sort

Dear community,
Excessing metal is shared to the whole team, right?
Can we have an option to automatically share this metal to the best player only? (if he's full bar, it goes to the 2nd best and etc..)

There's a widget that does this. I think there's even a forum thread for it, but don't remember exactly.

edit: Found it in my widget list!
I put it on pastebin. There you go:
Excess Fail Save v0.1.
Shout out to

So it goes to Firenub and funds his trollcom whilst an actual player is struggling to make the game-ending rush?

The better question is:
Who is the "best", if we go levels, then Firepluk will 9/10 get the excess. If we do elo, then googlefrog gets it. We don't really have anything to rank players besides elo, and we could just endup drinkdriving whilst a few newbs are trying their best to win.

I think it should be shared equally around your team, or at least, an option to pick where the metal goes.

If you want your metal to go to any specific player you can transfer it to them manually, right?

That is tedious and time-consuming if you are excessing badly, and I don't want to be doing this mid-battle, where a rush has just happened..

Sharing metal with the H menu every minute is extremely unwieldy. Maybe if it were easy to allocate a portion of your income to be shared to someone, instead of giving them a one-time gift, m sharing would be used more.

Better create a lobget that will tell a random con (idle preffered) to make a storage as soon as I start excessing.

I swear this is how it already works?

Or have I been fooling myself? I've always been okay excessing so long as there was someone competent on my team to receive it. Especially when I'm doing some micro heavy role... But if I'm putting my hard earned metal in the pockets of my more nooby team-mates then many more storage I shall make :)

If anything it'd go by elo. Levels are only vaguely correlated with skill, and this correlation diminishes the higher the level you are (as people get diminishing returns on their experience).

hedgehogs levels are all about playtime. Do you know who has the most playtime in ZK? Firepluk

10/10.

But then I could get first on leaderboard and drunk drive so team is wasting metal on me.

Maybe:

We have a widget which will share metal to the person you wish to have metal to, automatically, so you will never excess again. If that person is full, you can either choose a second preference, or give to the person with the most damage value in your team

Idea: play with teammates that you'd actually want to have your metal? You can also just use share mode with your freunde to assure there's no metal wasted.
