Basically, this suggestion is to have a standings and possibly/hopefully some rewards for individuals in the temple activities. Entirely separate thing from the studio competition. This idea hit me the other day when I had a lot of points in the buy temple on one star and wondered how I did compared to people not in my studio. It would be nice to be able to see these numbers.

 

It would also give people who are not in a studio a chance to compete somewhat.

 

Obviously, some minor changes would need to be made to the standings page to have a sub-section for individuals and some kind of icon like the one in a studio to click and get info on what the current temple is

I think that sounds like a nice idea...

As much as it should sound like nightmare material to any leader/producer of a smaller studio.

 

When people are out recruiting for their studio, the most wanted candidates are of course alive and active players. Right now you can judge those on film activity, refinement and booster knowledge etc. ... basically all the stuff that shows how "present" or game-smart someone is. Adding an individual temple scoreboard to the game however is just like pinning a red flag on any studio's most effective member(s), or forcing them into a t-shirt saying "take me to prom with you!" while waiting for them to be whisked away.

Now that my char has been deleted...

I finally am just as relevant to UK2 as Maalena always has been.

I played before temples were added. Their presence is definitely a bonus. It's a way for people to help their studio acquire diamonds when they don't have money to buy them. I had a little solo studio then. I was stuck doing only what I could with just notes because I wasn't able to buy any at that time. Also, around the same time, several career bosses were added. Before that there was a big gap after the one in Los Vengeles and I wound up getting bored of just grinding missions. As a result, I faded away from the game and returned later to find that star deleted.

 

I don't always like what the devs decide to implement but I'm glad that they actively implement things on a fairly regular basis. I've played games where it seems like the devs have gone into hybernation or even a coma. Things get stale really really fast. And this team does make changes some times as a result of player feedback. Altering the film trophies is one example. Making the party tickets 24 hours was another. There was another game I tried to return to that I liked a lot. When I was there before, the entire player base was begging them to to do something about the ridiculous mandatory PVP after a certain level. They flat out refused to budge on that and guess what. When I went back, there was no game.

 

As far as people being recruited away, that's up to whether the player is recruit-able or not. Some are. Some aren't. I've had a lot of offers. I even get them as the studio boss on the star that is one. I don't worry about people moving on. If they do, I wish them well...and shower them with epic bed feathers :P There are several in the studio I am in that were there when I joined on this star. I think I have only seen one player that was there for a good amount of time leave and join a different studio. In the larger studio I am in, it seems like if people leave, it is for RL reasons. I'm the newcomer there and don't know the full history, but I don't have the feeling that the big players are about to be lured off somewhere.

I don't like the idea. 

I think temples are a step in the right direction about making the game less about individual performance and more working together as a team to achieve something.

I do like the idea of introducing an individual performance reward for contribution though but it should be for the top 3 in studio, or perhaps the earnt rewards for the studio distributed based on individual performance within the studio.
