Points scoring system – Fastory

The points system has been redesigned to bring more competition and widen the gap between players on the podiums, while limiting ties. Here is the scoring applied to each game mechanic (games played within your experiences).

Points or stars?

Two complementary notions coexist:

points are the detailed raw score of a game session. They are used to precisely rank players in the leaderboards (points mode);

stars (from 0 to 5) are a performance rating derived from the score, which moves the fan up through the levels.

This article details the points. For how stars are calculated, see the dedicated article on the star system.
