Oh my god..... I've been playing this game for the last two afternoons and can't get away from it anymore. I haven't played DOJ for about 2 years untill the recent shooting meet 1 week ago and I'm already entirely absorbed in it again.
My current max score is 189mio (old highscore on the board is 153), but more would have easily been possbile. I died many times in silly ways, never used even a single bomb in the whole run. But wow, this game is a blast. My average score is about 140-160 after the stg4-boss (hypering him up to 7000 hit) and then I try to do my best with Stage 5 - but failed in epic ways EVERY FUCKING TIME I reached it.
I can't even keep my combo in the beginning, NO, I get TWO 700-combos. Then another 400, another 300, again a 400 and so on. If I could only avoid those combo breaks... 500m would be accessible in no time
Will post a picture when I got at least 200m.

How about making the table look less confusing by putting it into [code][/code] like most high score tables here ?jpj wrote:okay. how about making it 40 places?
I don't mind having 2 tables as long as you would keep one table for overall scores (Maybe with something like 10-20 spots). 40, even 50 spots is fine as well since it's pretty competitive and would encourage more beginners into posting scores. Do what you want; it's more work for you, not for us.
okay, well i have just gone through all of this thread, and all of the previous thread. table now includes ALL doj scores submitted on the forum
what i'll do soon is either cap it at 50 places, or switch it to two separate tables
and sorry, i don't do code tags. religious reasons

Seconded, there's no need to write down scores that can be reached on the first try until the stg1 boss. I think 25 or 40 m would be appropriate here, everyone can reach that with a little effort. Or shorten the list to 30 places would be an option, too.Goongrave wrote:I don't like the "infinite place" scoreboard. You should make it 40 places OR give it a minimum score to enter e.g. 20 mill or 25 mill (which I believe is a score that anyone who is playing seriously should be able to achieve in a couple of weeks at max).
I am currently working on my stage 5 chaining. Damn hard it is, I always break my combo during the combs. Before ~1100, then nothing, then again ~1000. My max was a 72m Stg5 score w/nomissnobomb up to the boss (which I could beat with 1 death). But I'm really surprised how fast one can improve oneself by just playing a particular stage. Will keep up the work and maybe someday I'll be able to do get the "plasmo-effect"

I think it's fine when the table gets big, it shows how many people have played the game and it doesn't bother or decrease the visibility/legibility. Now it is a little pointless to keep scores posted by people who just did a run or two or played really casually, and those entries can be viewed as parasites indeed, so in my opinion the best would be not to cap the table length at all and maybe cap the minimum score to something like 40M. But really, even that capping would only be necessary if a lot of people posted their crap score done in a few casual runs.
Because really, what's wrong with a really lengthy table ? Even if it was so long that it would make a whole page by itself, that'd be fine. That'd even look cool cause it would feel like a lot of people are playing the game. It could even generate more motivation for the lower players because they could easily make it into the table, see their rank and climb the ladder / compete with the nearby players.
Heck, I should change my Mushihimesama Table to reflect that. But it already has too many different rankings so it'd be a mess ^^ Unless I make one thread per mode...

table updated
40 places per ship type. i'd really like to see some more people post scores, and some more friendly competition as well there are tons of scores in the 20m range for example, so even just a few points you can ascend the table
please post scores and have fun

how far did you make it into stage 4?
and it's totally up to you regarding the images. personally, i've just cleaned up my imageshack account, and have kept only the most recent/up-to-date high scores. i really don't mind dude
