[UPDATE] Changes to Guild Wars Prizing

[busteroaf]

Time will also prove me right when the best players from lower-performing guilds start shuffling into top 11-50 guilds for realistically attainable rewards, thus bolstering competition for those spots even further.

I don't need or want your thanks. I'm just happy to have been a part of making the game better...but if you are compelled to express gratitude, I have a PayPal for donations.

Um... people have always shuffled from lower-performing guilds to better ones. This isn't due to anything you did. When people finally decide they want to make a move, they will. It just happens that now, they can be happy for settling with Top 25 instead of having to jump to Top 10. So if that is the case, maybe you were a part of it. Way to strive for mediocrity Top 25! You have Sol to thank for a 2nd-10th place epic from ... 8/9 wars ago?

wow...
Just because the other 7th graders think you're cool doesn't mean you actually are...

ps. The game still blows. Let me know when they release some actual new content or fix stripping. Bunch of tools playing & coding this pathetic game.

Very excited to see Gree responding to player input. A lot of great ideas have put out there for them to choose from. I still have my fingers crossed for a new map level but will enjoy this new reward set just the same!

[EljayK]

It has actually been my belief from the start that 11-100 should be better. I made a pic in the 11+ thread showing what I believe rewards should be. I think a good setup would be old Epic+ for Ribbon A and old Epic for Ribbon B.

It has always been up to GREE exactly which Ribbons would see increased rewards.

So you want the rewards for Ribbon A to be better in stats than the rewards for the tier above it? Forgestone+, with guild boosts, would have better stats than Sol Vanguard. Why. why would that ever be a good idea?

Exactly. Forgestone isn't even that outdated yet. I could understand Blazeborne+ being for ranks 11-25 and regular Blazeborne for ranks 26-50, since Sol Vanguard is a mono fire, but not Forgestone.

Totally agree with this. Forgestone plus is not appropriate in this case. Let's not get greedy ourselves

[Sol Invictus]

I never said Forgestone+

Since GREE is running the show, then..duh, they should obviously be making reward tiers appropriate.

You guys are getting bogged down in minutae. A weird sort of non sequitur minutae.

The guiding principle is commensurate distribution of rewards.
I think most (if not all) of us would agree that #1 shouldn't be the only guild to recieve the newest war Epic, and #1,000 should recieve more than Shiny Shards...so it follows that most (if not all) of us agree, in principle, that the value of rewards should be disributed equitably based on performance.

[busteroaf]

Well, #1 isn't the only guild to get the newest war Epic. They get the Epic+. And if "most (if not all)" feel that #1 should not be the only ones to get the Epic+, what else do they get for being #1? An extra fusion boost? A few extra gems? All of those items are worthless compared to the Epic+ itself. And most games reward #1 with something to set them apart for, you know... winning and being #1?

I'm just asking.

And no. #1000 actually gets AotIL+. At the present time, #1000 (The 3 Bombs, congrats guys... you get a free plug) is sitting at 43,256. Top 25 (Dragons Fang) is at 2,590,661. If it is a 40 player guild, avg points = 64766, almost 1.5x the entire guild score of rank 1000. And you think AotIL+ is a bad prize comparatively? Based on performance, the fact there are over 6600 guilds getting prizes of some sort, basically a "hey, you logged in, declared, and hit a wall" participation prizes, I'd say they're pretty fair.

[Lazzo]

Alot of potential in this game through additions and modifications to accompany the changing of times within the game.


Please ADD:
Removal of player in guild wars that does not receive the reward. Many leeches out there, keep the game honest and ethical.

I look forward to seeing changes made in the future



Thank you

you guys will not regret this. prepare to see your wallets explode. looking forward to those new additional updates coming very soon as well!

This is just a mean thing to say.

The poor employees at Gree have to "happily" support a game who no one on the upper eschelons gives a crap about, watching us poor saps throw thousands of dollars into nothing, & you act like their measly salaries will actually be affected?

Such naïveté.

[ZerotheHero]

*Cough Cough* So what ever happened to those additional reward updates coming "very soon", Wise One? Just wondering.

[El1ta]

Look for additional upgrades to Guild Wars rewards very soon!

If you think 2 weeks is what Gree considers "soon" then you're adorable.

Aww thanks! But I just brought it up to see what sort of reaction I'd get. I promise I'm not that naive

[El1ta]

New war rewards are useless. Gree is one of the only companies not translating games yet they refuse to just make new content? Hell, KA/MW/CC are still getting unique LTQs every month as far as I know? They walked away from Kandy & our skeleton crew of developers has no way of churning out anything real when they're being crushed by the status quo & corporate pyramid infrastructure.
War rewards? Maybe I'll care when there's a Raid Boss Leaderboard. Or even an ingame banner of past war winners, LIKE EVERY OTHER GREE GAME HAS.
War rewards?
No, what we need is an Android only K&D forum.
