Top 100 Super groups

When I'm in Atlas one of the things I like to do is go into city hall every now and again and check over the top super groups. But for a good long time now the top 100 has seemed to stay static, no change in the listing what-so-ever.
Even when I just check the registered super groups, again it seems to have been static for a good long time....no new super groups show up.

Is it bugged?

Is there another way to check the active and top super groups from a third party site?

You're looking at it from names. Click the "Prestige" word on the window, it will list them from 1 to 100 from how many prestige they got.

Yeah I know that, been playing for nearly 3 years now

My point is it never changes. It seems to have been static for a few months now and many SG's have been created in that time. You would expect the order of the listing to switch and have new additions every now and again.

getting on the list is 10 million and that alot of hours need to earn that even for a solo SG

We the Supernation on defiant really went for number 1 Hero SG and it took us a while to do it

So don't expect for weekly or monthly changes

Ok I understand what you guys are saying about the top 100 listing but the show all super groups function shows the same 100 SG's in the top 100 SG's list...and that's it.

It never seems to change even though new super groups spring up on a daily basis.

I was just thinking maybe the super group listings have gotten the same fate as the info terminals around paragon city, broken beyond belief.

It does change. The SG my brother and me are running (Callous Crew) just made the top 100 earlier this week, and is currently at place 96

We hit the top 100 12 months ago, and it's taken us this long to get into the low 80's. But we've been playing redside more this year.

So anyway, yes it does change but not by much

It's not a competition.

But I think this is a false measurement. It only compares Prestige earned over time, wheras there are many other ways to gauge the activity of an SG

I agree 100%

OK then so the top 100 SG listing isn't bugged but if it is gauging the listing over all prestige gained from when the SG was formed doesn't that mean that a lot of the SG's on that list may well be inactive over a good period of time and the only thing that's keeping an inactive SG on that list is the huge amount of prestige they gained when they were active?
So an entire SG could just dissolve (which does happen) but still be number one in that list even though no one would even be in the SG?
That does sound rather unfair....

They do eventually drop from that top spot if that happens although it can take several months. But getting a new SG into the top 100 can be done in a couple of months if they are active, then the next 50 or so places are very quick to gain, the to 10 or so on Union are very active and trying to make sure they keep those places which is why you don't see frequent changes in rankings. They do change though but generally over the course of months.

Yup.. it is still working as should be... The Court usually flucturate about the 9-11 rank.

Aye seems to be an ongoing fluctuation between Art of War and The court...but to answer previous posts, AoW for exampple have been around since beta, and are still going strong, so it is fair to say that such as us/the court..the handprints..clean and dirty..the horde etc etc who are alos long standing and still active, deserve to be up there, but on the other hand we dont see it as competition, why UV isnt in the top ten but i know of them to be a good sg filled with great players...so its not all about positions.

We are still number 1 on defiant and most of us dont even play that much any more

According to my SG leader, its a competition

Off course it's a competition, every SG wants to be number one.

We all want to be able to say YES WE ARE NUMBER ONE! /e cheer, we all want to be able to tell prospective recruits that yes you are in actual fact being asked to join the number 1 SG on the server....lucky you

We all want to wear it as a badge of achievement ( makes note theres no SG badge for being no.1...weird ) and show it off on our various SG sites.

Off course its a ruddy competition, the games geared to be competitive....everything in this game is a competition, even making and showing off a costume is competitive now....cossie contest anyone?

I'd just like to make it onto the list

It is definately a competition to be #1, but I would like to see more than total prestige being measured, for example:

Characters active over the last month
Prestige earned last month
Levels gained last month
New additions last month
% active/inactive over the last month
Badges gained last month
Most tanks/scrappers/khelds etc

You can show the above for last year and all time as well. It allows the top SG's to remain top because they are also going to top the activity and monthly prestige charts, but lets the newer SG's get some recognition (New members and levels gained will probably be ruled by new SG's).

Actually because I think a good SG can make or break a persons gaming experience I would like to see a proper SG roster where you can put up your SG rules, an SG description and all the stats are updated automatically so a newbie could just sort by whatever he is interested in and read up about the SG's. There could be an 'apply' button which would send emails to the SG leadership.

(If I hadn't joined the Handprints I would probably have quit the game long ago)

I put my seal of approval on this

I think this deserves its own thread in suggestions

As Zortel says, that'll be because we're primarily a roleplaying SG, and team together for IC missions and general fun. What we're not is a prestige earning monster, which is a dreadful metric for measuring an SG's success. All it really means is that you have members which mission a lot.

Now, if an SG could be measured based on it's members dedication to the game world, and base design etc, we're be RIGHT up there. Have you SEEN the UV's base? I mean, seriously... It's totally awesome!
