timbalake Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I've been thinking and maybe some agree, maybe not. But it would be even more fun for the game if fighters hyping up fights on Buzz actually translated to fighter hype in general. Even for the organizations. The event hype should be a reflection of hype generated from somewhere other than just the amount of fights taken by the participants. It would be cool if, for example, two fighters that are set to fight each other are talking shit on Buzz. The more back and forth they exchange by tagging each other, should be tallied as extra hype towards the fight as a whole, which would add hype to the card as a whole. This might actually ignite a more engaging fake social media platform as fighters would be enticed to engage in trash talk in order to better "sell the fight". Just an idea to give Buzz a little more meaning. If you agree or disagree or have some better ideas post it here cause this is something I've discussed with a few org owners and they all agree it would make the game more fun.

imcool Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 The shit talking on Buzz is already a joke and rather pathetic. The one time a week I check Buzz, it seems like 5 year olds w/ perverted imaginations and an IQ in the single digits are the only ones who post. Buzz is a waste. People don't want to go on to see worlds worst trash talking, dick pics, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popart Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Perhaps a one time thing for a SMALL, small boost in hype. Certainly nothing that would reward spamming. There would need some major buzz reform to make it less cancerous. I post on there through my characters from time to time, but it generally gets drowned out by terribe, unclever trash talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zello Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Small boost maybe but only if its between two fighters who have a fight coming up between each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsquirrel Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 The problem is rewarding quantity over quality. If you can find a way to do the reverse instead you may be on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zello Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 There should be diminishing returns. The more times you post consecutively back to back like say 5-10 posts in 2 minutes like spammers do the less hype you get. There should be a cooldown before you can get max hype.

Yeah spamming is the only thing that I would have a problem with too. Maybe if the amount of times the fight card was viewed in advance due to the trash talk interest, would defer from mindless spamming and dickpicks. Or maybe if the fighters talking trash would have to tag the event to add hype. I know we can't have nice things tho because there's really no way around spammers, even with Buzz in it's current state cause as of right now there are about 3 shemale dickpics on my Buzz feed right now lol.

Santo Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I think when you get a fight you could buzz at the fighter and gain a small dose of hype rather than none and that's it only one time until you get another fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a bad idea because it would create practically mandatory buzzes for everyone who wants to maximize hype so you would see a lot of nonsense low quality posts and probably not much more actual smack talk than you see now.. which is the whole problem with the idea to begin with.

imcool Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 This whole topic is silly. A fighter ranking needs to be results-based. Also, it is not feasible to incorporate Buzz into hype regardless. There is no way to set up a filter for posts that are hype-generating rather than "balls", "asldkfj" or "your mom". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the best spammer gets to #1 p4p? Nope. I like this Idea A LOT but as JakeF said, people would spam buzz even worse.. they would need a bit of a cut-off limit, maybe only 1 buzz actually hypes up any given fight and it's very minimal, maybe if someone tries to abuse the system (i.e. spamming 10 buzzes at his opponent in an hour) he loses popularity or just gets no added hype. I like the idea, Mike would just have to take a lot of precautions to ensure nobody abuses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 No hype at all but fighter popularity should be considered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
