New Updates Coming!
Hey Chump fans we sitting on another whopper update coming to a ChumpDump. We all need to put our hands together and pray the Apple App store approves this puppy fast, however you Android lovers will see the newness REAL soon, like mucho faster. But we’re trying to time this goodness at the same time so we’ll see.
What’s coming?
Better Lottery Randomizer
Many of you have complained about having to save the same person over and over again as if the lottery in ChumpDump is toying with you bringing the same person up over and over again. Well that’s note true really. The lottery is a pure randomizer, plain and simple, those people coming up again and again is just taste of the luck of the draw there. There are only so many tweaks we can do so that it always brings up a fresh face. Most of which would delay your experience playing the lottery… how much of a delay? Depends on how many friends ya got. If you had 40, not bad, if you had 10,000 thats alot to process. That lag time, we feel is bad. So what can we do? Well we’re putting in a slightly smarter lottery that will always fish for new faces (basically re-runs the lottery over and over) when you do back to back lottery plays, so that you GET a new person more often than not. Its not perfect but its good for you die hard players that play the lottery back to back over and over to crank up that karma goodness. For you folks, you’ll see more fresher faces. Now those of you playing casually we’ll your back to the basic lottery math of pure random logic. Its only when you play back to back lottery spins does this new “hey ChumpDump go find me a fresh face, I just saw this guy” kick in.
3 LeaderBoards instead of 1
Ok so let’s cut to the chase here, there are a handful of folks who have rocked the game with their sheer domination goodness. They just don’t play, the play WELL, and they keep at it. However there’s plenty of other folks who are playing and need to get that recognition to keep going just the same. 3 Leader Boards are in the new update. Daily- most active players today. These are people making waves that very day. They are saving and dumping, making way to get to the next board. Weekly- these are the players dominating the week. They are doing the most plays, either by adopting new people, saving or dumping. Finally we have the All Time- these are the folks who have the most karma earned.
Tighter Klout Integration
How do people choose who to save or dump? That’s a question that comes up quite often in the ChumpDump universe. Lots of reasons really. Could be most recent tweet activity, could be whether or not they are following you back, could be number of replies, retweets or dm’s? Maybe its # of folks they are following? Or maybe its something in their social profile, or maybe.. its their influence score via Klout. The Klout influence score is pretty handy. It computes a persons overall influence position online through a wide range of stats. Is it the end all be all indicator of worthiness? No, is it a good one? Maybe. And now ChumpDump is sporting tighter integration with Klout. A number is fine but a reason behind the numbered score, that’s kinda better in our book- so now you can go right to the source itself- klout. Clicking on a players klout score takes you to klout- from there, you can see how its computed and decide for yourself.
Clearer Adopt Indicators
We still get alot people asking us how adoption works- its simple really, you follow recent dumpies, thats adopting. But we know the words are in the UI helping you add that up, so we’re putting those words in there to make it easier to understand.
Links in Chatter
Often we’ll see links in chatter and think.. hey why can’t we view those things? Well now you can. You can view links in ChumpDump or open them in Safari (iPhone version).
Badges are linked!
Now when you get a badge, its linked to the website allowing yourself and others to see your glory- and see who else has that coveted badge!
Thats about it for the big cool stuff. After this update we’ll have an even greater slice of ChumpDump coming.. ChumpWARS or maybe.. ChumpDump 2! But basically we’re sitting on a ton of feedback from people who want greater control and more crazy game play, and we got ideas.. so you’ll see goodness soon! Meanwhile iPad lovers, be sure to get that 4.2 update coming for the iPad and then you too can dump on the ipad… woohoo!
We hope to see these updates made available soon, keep your fingers crossed! (Early October for sure!)
