Ranked Rewards

[HermitUK]

People would still complain that they can't get every item. Because they simply don't like PvP to have their own ranked rewards. It is often just that.

This is true, but you can always over-reward. So if a season's ranked reward costs 10 ranked coins, you could dish out 15-30 of them to top 100 players (increasing as you place higher). For players who have nearly everything already you can always add some more generic items or let people convert excess into Wolf Collars or something.

I have a lot of sympathy for people saying they want stuff that was time-gated. It's silly to have missed a mount you might love because you weren't playing the game four years ago. Also, limiting in this way discourages the devs from investing proper time and effort into rewards. There is a reason most Feast mount rewards were just enemy models with player models plonked on top.

I have less sympathy for people saying they want a reward that's locked behind grinding out a top 100 spot. If you take put the time-based FOMO, then it's a skill issue. You get good, you get your mount.

Will people still moan? Sure. But it's no different than somebody complaining about shiny weapons being locked behind ultimates.

Adding stuff like aetherite tickets, disspeller crystals, rare dyes would go a long way to make such a shop viable for even tryhardest of pvp players

What a great idea. I would love to buy cordials with wolf marks.

I agree! Or even one untradable Jet Black or White for 20k Wolf marks or even Crystals would be amazing.

One thing that feels bad to me is that Framer kits and Gear cost 1,500 Trophy Crystals and weapons cost 3,000 Trophy crystals, but the reward for most levels is 1,000 Trophy Crystals. To get 2/3 a piece of gear for a level up feels bad. The only levels I feel any excitement about achieving are every fifth level.


PVP SERIES 5 is
Five items
28,000 Trophy Crystals







My suggestion for PVP SERIES 6

Instead of every 5 levels, rewards are every 3 levels. There are many old PvP rewards that should be recycled into the Series system to draw more new players in and get veteran players excited again. Return these old items to achieve this increase in item rewards.
Trophy Crystals in better quantities. (28,500 Trophy Crystals total)




It's vital to the health of PvP that there be this amount of decent, obtainable rewards to draw new players into PvP.

Maybe it's too late for changes to the next PvP series, but hopefully this feedback can help for future series. What do my peers here think of my suggestion? !
I have some other thoughts... like losing games as quickly as possible on purpose shouldn't be a viable way to level PvP series, but maybe that's for another post.

Or, SE could just make pvp Fun again. Otherwise people will just stop again as soon as they have their "rewards". Time has shown it again and again: New Rewards? PvP active. Everyone has rewards? PvP less active.
Just look at Rival Wings. It explodes from Dead and buried to 1 min queue pops when there is a event with "rewards" that includes this mode.

I find pvp fun, But l don't think majority of the people play this game for pvp, so reward is probably the only solution. frontline will totally be dead if there isn't a roulette.

I'd really like to test that in FL, but it'll never happen I guess. Despite our complaints about people not trying, there is definitely a population on Aether (plus some DC switchers) who appear to be playing because they enjoy it. I've heard this argument that RW is dead because there is no roulette and that FL would be the same, but nobody seems to consider the possibility that RW is dead because, in the opinion of some, it is not very interesting and overly contrived.
