Crystalline Conflict Rewards need to be reworked

Crystalline Conflict Rewards (Day 161)

Hey,

I will be updating this post daily, and it will serve as a record of people that have had similar issues. Please post your situation if you want it to be seen.


I ranked Crystal in the first season of Crystalline Conflict (CC), there was a lull in content, so I unsubscribed for a few months. When I came back I was a few days too late to claim my rewards. Every time there is a new season of CC I am reminded of the totally asinine way that PVP rewards are handled in this game. We have plenty of systems in the game for delivering items and rewards. Why are the rewards not simply mailed to you in game similar to a veteran reward? why not add achievements that you automatically earn at the end of the season where the reward can be claimed? Either of those options are better than the current system. I do not think someone in my position will ever be satisfied with missing out on a rewards that took countless hours to earn.

Anyway, I have been directed be the GMs countless times to post to the forums. so without delay here is "Day one hundred and sixty-one of posting on the forums until I get an explanation of why they can't give you the rewards you earned and/or the system gets changed."


If anyone else has had issues with being unable to claim your Ranking rewards at the end of the season please reply here. I want them to change the system so that it doesn't rip people off.

Update: I spoke with an SGM and they confirmed that it is possible to give the rewards but they are unable to do so due to the policy they must follow. They advised me to come to the forums and post to get the policy changed.

If we want the system to change so that the players cannot possibly miss out on their rewards we have to make it known on the forums.

Still waiting for an answer from SGM.

My man. You are showing pathology of some deeply disturbing behavioral issues, and I mean that with all empathy. Video game addiction is a serious affliction, and the zeal you display for some pixels that you didn't care about for months is not the flex you think it is. Allow me to be frank here, it's probably best for you if mods and GMs actually ban you from this game and forum at this point. That way, you can cut your losses and move on with your life. But your spam in this forum ain't it.

Nah he is just a catboi. It is interesting to see how many days it will take to ban him, so let him post. My bets are on 50+ days.
And to OP, SE wants you to sub to get rewards. They don't want to code a new achievement reward system for it, as it is an indie company. They actually do some hard work for top100 people and mail them, exactly what you want basically. They are manually sent by the GM, can you imagine that. But you are not in the top100, you just want your tier reward, so basically more trophy crystals and a title and background for that season. As soon as you get yours, they will get 1000 other guys asking the same. And GM are most likely understaffed and overworked, unless you are technical support on the forums, not sure if they ever solved a single issue xD What other users write is often helping more than what they write..But that is how they have to work I guess.
The irony is, they have a match history system, that keeps track of your tier ranking. They used it for premade ranked PvP. So the information that you ranked in a specific season at a certain place, is available inside the game even. And not just on your lodestone or where-ever. So if they would give us a match history even for solo ranked, that would be cool, and you could keep using that at the NPC, to prove your place in the future even.
But that brings us back, that they want you to stay subbed, even when there is no season or series active yet, and that is how they could do it. Similar how retainer and glam dresser systems are so convoluted, that you can waste an hour just to rearrange some items from your retainer to it, and sell them or turn them in or redye them differently, while being at the space limit etc. You aren't playing the game, you are micro managing storage space lol. But it wastes time to keep you subbed longer. They should give us a free 3rd retainer at this point, there are too many damn items. But that is offtopic I guess.
The simplest solution they could make, is to get rid of ranked solo already, as this current PvP, isn't suited for it. I rather wanna see The Fold come back and have 1min team deathmatch match.

I am posting an update once per day, I don't believe that constitutes a disturbing behavioral pattern. Besides, the GM's are telling to me to post on the forums about my issue to see if the policy and the system can be changed. Apparently they can do nothing until the system is changed from above and that can't happen if no one is "making noise". My concern is legitimate and even the GMs agree that the PVP reward system needs to be reworked (I have the screencaps).

Side note: The way that GMs contact players needs to change as well, lol.

Especially after the latest changes. "We improved the hit detection!" Haha but also animation lock is terrible and purify is broken and guard doesn't go off half the time. It's like eating handfuls of nails and going "please sir may I have some more". The Fold was so much fun... an absolute mess of carnage. I miss it.

and guard doesn't go off half the time.

I sometimes wait a few seconds, because I think I have a lag or delay, so it can still activate. I am reluctant to press it again, because muscle memory taught me, it is better not to (even if that is not an issue anymore, as it has a recast timer now to de-guard), or because you will overwrite the input with another skill, and then your guard was active for 0,3s and was basically useless. Only to find out it will never activate, and you are as good as dead now even if you press it. Such magnificent display of skillz.
