Hey i don't know if it is a good or bad idea but i got it when i was thinking about the tokens. So i am gonna express it now. The problem is we(small players and noobs who can't war) find it difficult to enchant the banner to its max level by just with the tokens we get from reward tiers. For example, I can manage to get to 15k reward tier and get 4 continental token each time but can't make it to top leaderboards because of stats or whatsoever reason. Seeing that the banner requires 10 tokens to upgrade each level (which is total of 60, 15 events are required for people like me) . The other alternate i have is go and war and get tokens but we noobs are still learning war and cant make it to leaderboard for this event. By the time we get hold of things completely new event starts which leaves banners from the last event way middle half enchanted. So here's my idea. How about we can get rare drops of tokens for banners from past events? Just like seals/horns/aqua/inferno(rare drops) are dropped from ebs. I mean tokens for present banner need not be dropped now..we'll do our best in the event. The drops should be started like after the event is over. For example, as Rimeland event series is over and few people dont have enough tokens to upgrade the banner. Likewise Continental tokens can be dropped from ebs after this 'A Cast of Falcon' series is over completely. The drops can be rare but it will be okay. Who doesn't want a fancy banner as well as increase in stats? Is this possible devs? Thanks. Please correct me if i am wrong anywhere.
If we're going that far, why not just make it so future events just drop generic "banner tokens," so that all flags can be upgraded with the same tokens, allowing a fully upgraded banner eventually for a dedicated individual. If tokens randomly drop from EBs from old events they'll be pretty useless to folks with already maxed banners, people who don't have the banner, and so forth. Note that banners used to just drop at different levels and were not upgradable - you just had to perform at that top level for the event to get the best banners. Changes such as yours or mine demean previous folks' efforts and accomplishments, and I'm sure we'll see comments along the lines about how such a change even further dis-incentivizes participating in wars when the population there is small enough as is. In fact, I'd expect a fair amount of no support if only for these reasons towards placing them in epic battles - especially with the animosity already towards that aspect of the game and how it would give "free rides" to those who don't have to do anything to earn the best banners - just get a lucky drop or two. Edit: Also, your appeal is on behalf of small players and noobs who can't war. With that kind of character base, expect kickback about how small players should grow so they have things they can strive for and look forward to, as opposed to getting the same max level of equipment as someone who is build complete and put either significant time and effort, money, or both to get there. That's the entire reason why there are tiers of reward equipment in the first place towards event gear after all.
I think changing it to a generic banner token would be very nice for people. That or make it take an increasing amount of tokens to upgrade. By having a 10 banner token requirement per level that means most who get 1-2 tokens per event won't ever get anything useful out of it. It's 2k to get the banner, but you need at least 7.5k (if you don't war) each event to get any upgrades on it.
Thanks for letting me know what i have missed. We can see that from this event series from 2k-15k item tiers same banner is dropped but the number of tokens changes. Small tier eb clans can't make it to top level and no individual can grow completely big from one event. Coming to wars i dont know much about indi but i see many people requesting for clans for LL wars in WC and sometimes end up with no clan or bad clan who don't war seriously(taking only serious warriors into account). It's only the same clans that win all the time but learning warriors wont get into good clan most of the times. And coming to people who pay and work hard (Leader board people/event leaders) . They are getting what they paid for (SoD/xtals/silver bars and equipment) . I don't think most f them are really worried about their banners because most of the event leaders have a special banner equipped or they don't care much about it. And who wouldn't like to see small players grow? Wouldn't a lb player be happy to help out small/new players. All i want was that someone's hard work can be paid sooner or later. Please note that i am not requesting an increase in rewards/SoDs/xtals/nobility points. All these are common in every event. Even aqua/inferno is dropped from events and every now and then we have event for aqua/inferno to help out people who have less aqua/inferno to get what they wanted and enchant equipment fully they already have enchanted to some level. I like your thought of generic tokens where we can convert the tokens to what we want...just like we did convert prima tokens to aqua /inferno. Thanks and sorry if i am wrong anywhere. Thanks for your response
Not everyone who do warbeasts/haunts get a SoD drop. Or not everyone who does ASoF gets all scroll drops. The lucky ones and the ones who wont give up on kaw.....mainly growing from 2mcs to 70mcs is the big deal...so this rare token drop can be encouraging for them..we cant give them special equip or xtals or seals but tokens might be good. they'll like a fancy banner and also the stats will help to do good damage. Thanks
Two sets of lands ago I would've been way against this & said something to the effect of "I payed full price for my hl before the price cut and so can you!" But it's becoming increasingly obvious that KaW is a very different game than it used to be. Throw the new guys a bone, what's it gonna hurt? Let's keep our new players encouraged and growing so one day maybe just maybe they'll at least be in our hit range.
