thorny rhapsody ltq rewards and pvp strike info

[DCN Gladiator]

Im hoping big money & reaper will use this thread as thousand view ur post during the ltq

What I would like to address is the unhappy sentiment from an outstanding amount of players including myself about pvp s being dropped so often and the poor rewards for top 5 25 100 250 1000 ...
For players such as myself , I have completed in full over a half a dozen of these pvps. I have gotten a good gauge on the overall opinions from many syndicates and its a resounding yes to 2 particular variables that gree must address. First the frequency of these are far to often considering the 20+ hours required to complete over a weekend.. thats actual time spent playing each of the last six , 5500 fights and however many robberies to acquire top 250. This would not be a big deal if it was presented in a quartley format and in doing so to add to the hype why not make the individual prises outstanding and add a few more categories. It only cost a vault or less to aquire 2 million points which is plenty for top 1000 or better 3 mil got top 250 this time. I and others would drop 2, 3, 4 + vaults if done in this format especially since it is nice for individual recognition. All praise goes to the team on every other objective lets spice this up and continue to improve a game that we all love and love to hate.we have a group chat for all the top 1-50 leaders to collaborate and if a unified strike is what is required than lets lay down our arms as one syndicate together and we will get what we want a better gaming experience. . Thanks and lemme know your thoughts and input i will start with thorny rhapsody prises from here.

Thanks Gladiator, appreciate the kind words. I have most of Normal mode done and will do more later, however, BigMoney rolls through the LTQ quicker than me, so I will wait for him to do his normal post. If for some reason BigMoney is put on an involuntary "vacation" for discussing very public "easter eggs", then I'll put up a thread for the LTQ.

Cheers!

[MagnusDux]

Gladiator - this 1-50 unified statement would def b more worth than 50 threads on same topic - hope you can pull it off and Gree mixes n makes events of more variety and more interesting and scrap that every weekend involvement and stop burnout - this good game, enjoying it, but burnout is a bi^#h!

[GucciMane]

or you could, you know, stop following the crowd, stop trying to keep up with the digital joneses, and sit out a brawl.


Yeah, I agree 2 pvp brawls each event cycle is too much, but I'm not going to sweat over an event like this.

just sit out.

...welfare syndrome.....?

[kingofwale]

how many elite goals?

[OMD73]

The whole pvp tournament like many things in this game, has become a farce. How many of the top place getters have a "robbing buddy" with similar stats - providing good points?

[sricc]

24 goals on Elite


how many elite goals?

[Deadwater]

I don't understand. PVP tournament poor prizes? So if you do your 5660 fights won for all the PVP LTQ prizes, if you get top 250/100 in both individual and syndicate you gain upwards to 30k stats for a vault. Pve LTQs aren't that good when looking at stats : gold.

My personal weekend schedule never changes. Work 44 hrs from Friday-Monday morning (graveyard shifts). Sleep 15hrs and awake at home for 13hrs. I was able to complete the last 2 of 3 PVP tournaments with my schedule. And no I don't just hit weak players, I still maximize my PVP points. Just with attacks this weekend I had 2.5million points.


Perhaps less crying and better planning you wouldn't have an issue with it. Now more tiers would be nice, top 250 - top 1000 is a huge gap for individual ranks and top 25-top 100 is also a huge gap for syndicates.

[Rodney26]

Prizes for pvp are extremly weak! I think top 5 prize should be what the 1st place prize is and 1st place should be about 50k or so

[Rodney26]

How could anyone possibly be happy staying up for 72 hours getting top 5 and getting a 5-10k prize that's pathetic!..don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about the 1st place prize or top 5 just think that they should be waaaaayy better for the time put In pvps lol

Ratios
6-1 Pvp = 20+ hours for 5500+ fights n robbieries to complete levels u up 5 times for 30k w a vault
10-1 Ltq = no time hardly , a vault w prehits , 2 levels up +/-, 25k stat increase.
50-1 real war = fun no pressure , a vault or 2 and ratios depend on syndicate placement
50-1 SLTQ = fun no pressure (free) with coordination and teamwork
Case & boss no leveling up 20-30k stat increase, less than 500 gold each thru completion for most.. sorry intermediate levels

I am a good team mate but I have better things to do for half my weekends every month other than a pvp tap fest. Everyones got an opinion some are better than others .. for the dedication required to complete a pvp and make top 1000 top 250 top 100 etc it would showcase the real talent if done way less regularly. I saw what rodney w silent assassins was doing bouncing from all 3 s.a. squads helping out and monstering points helping keep each squad in there respectable top 1 10 25 spots.. I and others would be more willing to see who is the best and let it all hang out if it wasnt almost every other damn weekend.. mad respect on that btw rodney n crew and to all the rest like me doing the same.. props.. ima go eat sum cheeze w my wine n beer n watch football yeah!

[Guisseppe17]

Anyone who says PvP prizes aren't weak or are good value for your money is mentally retarded. You spend an entire weekend having to fight every twenty minutes or so, and a crapload of gold just to get near the reasonably good prizes (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure 2k/2k stat prizes started around top 100 individuals? Not 100% sure) since syndicate prizes are crap no matter how good you are (I mean, the #1 syndicate got a prize weaker than this latest collect 10 grand prize for goodness' sake) when you could spend it on LTQ's and the like and guarantee a larger stat increase. Now granted, if you win big in the PvP's, you win BIG. But that requires top 5 to really get close to it being worth the vaults and vaults being put into this. And the worst thing about these is that even the #1 top individual prize is still not worth the 72 hours of time spent on the PvP that you'll never get back.

[Legen...dary]

It's not a Boycott, it's a strike.

[ablankone]

Totally with you on this one Radiator. And your analyse illustrates it.

A boycott isn't the answer though - it would never work. Your place would simply get filled by the incoming tide of someone else.

I, for one, gave up heavy participation in these particular PvPs. Not worth the effort. And too exhausting.

Yes. Make this a quarterly event, bolster the prizes, bridge in the huge chasms between prize levels.

Can't understand why it's taking Gree so long to clean up their act on this one.

[Coldjoey]

It is was it is, take part or don't. Just don't complain afterwards. For every thread about prizes being to weak there's another complaining about stat inflation and prizes should be weaker. It seems for most,the reward is instant gratification of seeing there name in lights.

[bald zeemer]

I think once per cycle (or even every 2nd cycle) is enough. Yes, the prizes are relatively weak, but IMO that's not a huge deal. The most important thing is that we have PvP at all, after it looked for a long while like it was never coming back.

I agree with most of that..but even the top1 prize isn't worth the time put in!

[Rodney26]

Which you did state lol! I just wanted to say it again! For the effort put in the prize should be higher..yea you can stay its not gonna help lower the stat inflation..but if only top5 people gets better prizes once a month it's not gonna change anything
