I got a new component published along with a video. It’s more than 6 hours and I did not get the video buff badge. And when I see the profile, it shows as 8 components in the components tab in my profile but I have 9 components. For for the total, the new one is not considered.
Also, no new points added for the video and for adding new components and for adding collaborators…
Here it shows as 8, but I have 9 components altogether
Now the video points is updated… it looks fine now… Only thing is still that 8 components thing is there… It should ideally show as 9
But when I calculated the points, I see that I have got only video points… and no points were added for the new component which got published… earlier system had 100 points for each component, but the new one doesn’t… I think you guys need to fix that
Hi @Srini84
Yeah… but as they say, maximum is 24 hours… I got the points for the video I added for the new component… But in the previous version of Connect, we got points for each component we published… In the new version, I didn’t get points for the new component that got published last friday. I checked today as well and still no points… So, there is definitely a problem there
I raised a bug for your component count error, that will get fixed in the next minor release.
For the points per component, those don’t apply anymore in the new system. We have badges for 1/3/5 components, but not individual points for each component.
That option should be there I think. Because it is a good way for a person to gain points and an encouragement to contribute… any thoughts why you guys removed it?
Also, can you tell me what are the other means of gaining points? Apart from the badges and academy courses… Is there any other way? Say for example person has all the badges… what are the other ways yo gain points to get to higher ranks?
The reason we eliminated points for components was because in the new system, only badges count. We will consider addin gmore badgegs for 10 components, 20 components etc.
To your second point, the gamification system will continue to evolve as the top people et close to completing all of the possible badges
