Kezzer, I really don't see many people complaining about smaller players destroying smaller tiers. I see people complaining that events don't comply with smaller accounts. This is an event that does just as much for smaller accounts as it does for bigger accounts.
The devs have put a cap on the action count of smalls doing items during hte and other ebs, they have done this for every event so your comment is slightly stupid and no one should pay attention to you
I post support to a lot of things actually so get your facts straight and no mention of a cap was posted here. I said no support as the devs are trying to encourage players to grow instead of hiding behind low stats and massive bfa/bfe. With events like this look at how many people have converted from SH or statless builds to bigger builds because they can no longer remain competitive. If you believe my comment is stupid then think that but I was working with the information given and posted some numbers to it. If a cap was introduced or items were removed then this idea is heading in a better direction, however I don't think it's right for a completely brand new player who is mega active for a small period of time to get a massive reward which far outweighs the strength of their build and will do for some time. Bigger builds get bigger bonuses from % equipment but static equipment effects appear to diminish in comparison to the stats at that size. Just think about the bigger picture before trying to call someone out who has seen far more than you have in your 328 days of playing.
Seems OK, slightly less based on HtE and RotWB. It also gives smaller players a chance to do well as it is based just on actions, not damage. Although the changing higher drop EB's would be a nightmare for my tracker thread... Just curious, would this be on a pattern or just random?
The thing is, the % banners scale for all sizes, so they are fair for small and big players. Small players won't suddenly destroy everyone their size because of a 3.3% (the highest % banner in the OP) bonus, that's pretty small. This is good for small and big players as the bonus is relative to their size and stays relevant no matter your stats.
I am well aware of that however they also stated that this should be implemented into normal events. No support to that whatsoever. % equipment I have no issue with so long as it isn't massively overpowered (which these banners are compared to what is available currently.) Also has been said already in this thread already, event banners are a rare commodity and if everyone has them they aren't rare.
1. If you read the comments on page 2, you'll see where it was clarified that Items from the Marketplace do not count as actions that give event items. By you not seeing this, it tells more you not fully reading/comprehending what's on this thread. 2. I've never seen someone go SH just for events. So, that point is invalid. And plus, people dropped build because drop rates for smalls were better at the time. With an event like this, they wouldn't have to drop build to get better drop rates. 3. You point of smaller players getting better stuff is invalid also. That happens with all events. I know many alts that aren't very big that get as you call it "massive reward which far outweighs the strength of their build". Basically, pay to play players are already doing this. 4. If your gonna be rude you can leave my thread. All because an account says 328 days means absolutely nothing. They could be an alt/ someone who knows more than a 2-3 year player because they actually did what it took to learn the game. ️
Well, to be fair on point #1, most people only respond to what's in the OP. Whatever is in-between doesn't really matter to those whom make their response directly to the OP. But, it's corrected now.
Also, normal events? These events used to happen. The ice moth event was like this. As was the Quetzal hunt event. Haven't you seen the mass amount of Quetzal banners? Events are starting to lean more towards pay to play the more events are ran. And massively overpowered? Have you not realized that these are just numbers? Don't you think devs would change them? And event banners are rare? No, they are not. If an event was ran every 3 months, event banners would be rare. But you can't say event banners are rare when about half of the lb has an event banner and new event banners come out 1-2 times per month, that's pretty common imo.
Hmmm. The only problem I see with this is eventually nobody would have the original beginning banners equipped. I think to get a banner you need to be distinguished from other people. However, I do think the rewards from lower tiers of prizes need to be increased in some way. Good idea
As said, this type of event doesn't have to be limited to banners. It can be used for equipment and other stuff. And also, the original banners would still be worn by some. The lb even sometimes wears the original banners. But let's face it, the "original" banners are mostly not even worn. It's the newer banners.
Ops removed the challenge of small ppl growing as older players had to do n reward them easily. Ops also lives in the past n suggests no eb variety is needed. Boring. Poor idea that panders to either the new or small ppl to get rewards like handed out candy. Oversized EQ for undersized builds hardly makes for a logical idea. Ops look at who supports this idea n be enlightened. A popularity vote does not make it a good idea. Veiled attempt of easy street Spend 3yrs or more n then see how this idea sounds if u want a true perspective. This is the same as every idea that makes a mockery of the time n effort others did for those with no patience to put in the work. Sorry No Support
I want to focus on these two statements right here. Was hoping these would come up. 1. Did I remove the challenge of small people growing as older players had to do to get rewarded easier? I would say hte did this. I had a 900k Çš alt that did hte for 15 days. After those 15 days, the alt was 6m Çš. That's not really challenging growth. So, I wouldn't say that I removed the challenge. 2. I live in the past? No. I'm suggesting a way of tiering events that showed up in 2-4 of the events ran when events were new. I suggested this idea after seeing people ask to have tiers back like in the quetzal event. Though the event was long, it got positive feedback due to more people being able to get rewarded for their activity rather than being rewarded for spending lots of money. Also, how am I suggesting no eb variety is needed? The op says that every eb would drop 1-2 event items per action with the exception of 1 eb from each tier dropping 2-3 event items. sounds like a variety to me. Considering the 1 eb that drops 2-3 from each tier would change every two days. Look at it from this point of view. Say you were equip hunting for a piece of equip from Acc but you also wanted to collect the event items. There are only 4 Ebs in that tier. Acc would drop 2-3 items for 2 days twice. That's a total of 4 days of acc trying to get the piece of equipment and also being able to collect the most event items you can.
Also, As someone who's been playing for 2 years, and events occurring within the past year, I don't see events stopping. They'll just keep coming and coming. So, why not make the best of it instead of complaining about it?
1st off HtE did not exist when i was BC 2x. 2nd FOD was top EB n Haunt was 24/7 3rd i did not complain 4th its easy street for ppl with out respect for the earlier KaWers before my time. 5th 2 weeks is pittance for rewards u suggest. 6th ppl warred for months to hopefully win enough to earn EQ. Want me to recite more examples?
