R 200

Totally agree with what trakilaki has said.The rewards are pathetic and will most likely make more ppl cheat (bot) to win.Without the gold rewards, many will lose interest in the LBs which is good because why would BP want people to invest time , and money to win these leaderboards anyways? xD Now that there arent any reasons to go for 1st places, most likely ppl will stop investing ander in essence and infernal fragments.Instead of making these leaderboards more appealing by increasing the rewards they came up with these crappy ones .No ander rewards...no gold rewards....whats next?

Lame move guys....lame.

 

Eh, i think the reason is because a ton of players play in groups. Now that group leaderboards are a thing, it means they would have to give out more rewards. So the logical thing is to reduce the rewards. Now if they reduce them fairly or not idk that but i'm not very hopeful. I'll just see leaderboards as a nice bonus if i do get a reward

 

I read in developer's head I'm not 100% sure so I wrote "possible"...we must wait tomorrow.

Cores are usefull mostly for who can't kill bosses in infernal and you can get gold also in painfull but you nedd more time (1,5).
Q1 painful: 166 run
Q1 infernal: 104 run

I agree with you that with these new changes the dev team is promoting cheating and botting.
I get gold in 9 Q only for money to try craft. If these are the new rewards I think I get gold in group leaderboards (playing normal with my friends) and in 1 or 2 Q when I'm alone (Q1 and Q5 and peharps Q3).
I think in the future we need many many Soul cores.

 

Well, even if you are not strong, you can get to first place in quest specific leather boards
But i agree with you

Now, either they [EDIT] up hard or, if I get a little bit more cospiratorial,maybe cheaters and botters are the biggest shoppers in here and maybe BP themselves are the ones selling those bots to people. It doesn't look good fot them either way

But they still removed the gold, that's such an epic fail on their end, I can't even laugh. No legit player will do the leather boards

It won't help the noobs either who have to craft the equipment

 

They have changed the mechanics of PW leader board rewarding - the reward is appropriate chest which contains particular loot. If the loot list really matches the content description of those chests then the effective rewards match the rewards described by Marsicanus.

 

Update :
It looks like there is no gold indeed

 

So it seems that I was right

 

Is anyone truly surprised that the dev's would remove the gold from the leaderboard rewards?

 

You mean "Is anyone truly surprised that the developers would take something that is universally liked and ruin it by replacing it with something that is guaranteed to piss off about 99% of players." Right?

And no, I'm not surprised in the slightest. Lets hope that they listen to feedback and don't piss off their player base. However, to be honest, I'll be more surprised if they listen and fix this horrible idea than if they simply let this atrocity go to live server.

 

I agree _baragin_ ... i got 4k for hard work. i crafted with 3k gold. and only one decent head i got. not even by perfect. and if they really remove gold for ranking rwards. well. my game is finished with pws, but to add those rwards + there then its very welcome.
thankyou but no thankyou.

 

the only reason I try on the leaderboards is gold for crafting. if this is removed then their purpose for me and a lot of others will be removed also

 

Im more curious to see what will they do now after seeing the negative feedback.Will they keep the "our feedback is important to us and we make adjustments based on the players's feedback" or they will switch to "we dont give a crap what the people want and think" xD.If these rewards are to be final then pretty much they have proved that our feedback is not important at all and that what we want is not relevant.

 

I have read that Dev's will change the prizes from leaderboard.
And i dont agree wih that because they give us cores but the craft is bad and we will have no gold to craft items so what we do with cores?



So i will oppen a poll to see what players think about this decision maybe they will hear us.
I strongly recomended to mantain the gold prizes now that the amount of points for each league was change and you need 250k for bronze.
Is the second thread about the bad evolution of the game, first was about the augment cores that came with a big price per unit .
If they dont listen us i will have o make a decision about this time/money consuming bad developed game.
Thank You.

PS. And why dot they give us Drakens and Augment cores, if i need soul cores and pristine cores i can farm them. Ah i remember they try to make all kids in game understand how to transfer and augment items instead playing gold on jesters.. maybe they should remove jesters instead, anyway only some "lucky" players win 3-5 japots per month, so they are not for all players.They should understand that only guilds will teach them how to play so focus on that.

PS 2 I wait for my POLL, why they delete my post if they dont add a POll ? They need to know - we vote against bad decisions.That thread was meant for that poll.

 

Wrong decision for:
- no gold
- need 1.000.000 point to reach gold trophy

I appreciate cores.

I suggest to leave single leaderboards like past (300k for gold, and same rewards) and introducing new group leaderboards like in R200 with cores and no money (gold rewards at 1.000.000)

 

I don't really care that they took our gold prizes, but they constantly try to kill the casual gamer.
I DON'T WANT TO SPEND ALL MY FREE TIME ON YOUR GAME. Can you see that or should i make it bold as well?
Not all gamers here like to Grind at the PW's to get those pathetic prizes you added there. 50 and 50cores? Really? and 250k for bronze? This season i only took 500gold from the PW. So next season i will take nothing. thanks.

P.s my signature makes more and more sense after every rel.

 

Please keep the old limits and prices... totally agree with INeX with this. This will totally destroy the toon development that current limits and prices give possibility. I cannot put any more time on this game... So why would I then bother to play at all

 

ok devs who ever came up to this idea to remove gold from reward. try and go try to start from level 1. wtihout any character bonus. and then come cry here "we removed gold" oh us stupids

 

Last season was the very first time I tried the leaderboards with my still not so good char. I got a few silver and bronze from the rest of Qs. I mainly did it for additional materi, but when I also received some gold - ah that felt so good! I could craft (or at least tried to) some of the legendary items I kept in my locker (there was 1 huge success and several failures though). And now.... you increased the amount of points needed for bronze, silver and gold... what for?! You know, some of us are much older than 15, and have better things to do, rather than spend all the free time grinding PW. What's worse, there will be no gold? Again: why??!! If you want to punish players- look into the so called 'bots' and other cheaters - there are plenty of videos on youtube where ppl show off how they do that. So far you're doing everything to discourage us from playing your game.

 

They just need to change the name from 'Leaderboards' to 'Leaderbots' then this will all make sense (alternatively the could call them Leadergangbangers )

Luck be with ye,

Now, can they also add the legal bot they made for the chinese version of the game? Because this development seems to be made for them and for cheaters

Obviously the rational solution would be Marsicanus' one, keep the same rewards for solo leatherbots,without any increase in points needed and put the new group leather boards with the new rewards

I would suggest changing the general leatherboards too, they also should have the same system quest specific have, you reach a certain threshold of point,to unlock further and better rewards, the current systems favors only bots and cheaters, legit players can't hope to get those rewards
