Tournament rewards and RNG versus the effort put into the tournament by the players
Hi,
I know this game lives off of rng (and Paywalls) but what I don't get is why even the Tournament rewards are 100% bullshit-rng. I saved a lot of gametime (from the last few not-Login-compensations usw.) and did the fire-knight-tournament as not a lot are interested in it and thus even someone like me (only FK10-12 possible, 10 on Auto, 12 on Manual with my heroes) stands a Chance to get somewhere.
I actually managed to pull #1 in my Group after spending a lot of time doing Manual runs on FK12 and countless "repeat"-clicks on FK10 as this is the only Chance to get the relentless set and I wanted/needed it for my Gala-Build (she has some 4* relentless gear and is a lot of fun so I wanted to upgrade her to actually make her more viable to use :) -- I like that Little extra-turn-dwarf :D ).
Everyone who pulls into the Slots 1-4 ((with 3 being the a poor bastard - why would anyone want the rubies instead of the gear if he manages to get in that high? Like literally wtf? - why aren't the sets sorted for 1-3 and rubies and rest afterwards? If you were on #2 and someone overtakes you last Minute you don't only lose the 5* gear but all gear at all, because then you'll only get rubies and not even 4x blue gear…. amazing idea to drop from 6x 5* Purple to rubies instead of 4x 5* blue)) put LOTS of work into this and there are no other ways of getting this gear -- why can't it then be at least "somehow" "fixed-stats" but still full-blown-roulette-style. What do I mean? Flat-stats as main-stats on gloves/chest/boots. On boots I get at least the Speed-fixed-stat but everything else as MAIN stat on those should be %-based. The minor-stats can be 100% rnd and then you get a Att% with def-fixed, resist-fixed and hp-fixed *lol* - but at least it's a "usefull" main-stat compared to getting att-fixed/hp-fixed/def-fixed as mainstat on a SUPER RARE and SUPER HARD TO GET 6* Purple item from a Tournament you worked your ass off to be in places 1, 2 or 4.
I'm happy About my first 6* items, but at the same time..... my 4* blue relentless gear is by far better (I litterally got flat-att-gloves, flat-def-boots and flat-hp chest with also mostely flat sub-stats where Nothing is usefull except the ACC).
This is not only anti-climatic but actually is disheartening of ever trying this again and putting this amount of work into one of those tournaments (or even buying Energy packs for it) - because why would I ? If the Chance is this high of getting 6 items of which not even a single one is usable even in my Situation (just got my 60-day-reward, so really at the beginning) where most or at least 25% of the 6* items should mean a boost for me how is it in any way interesting for Players with a way higher lvl / better stuff to actually go for a Tournament like this if the chances are so super low to actually get something usefull out of it?
Wouldn't it make sense to have tournaments that actually are interesting for the playerbase? Especially with so many back-to-back which we have Right now it would make sense to have "relentless def race!" (50% Chance of having def-% on as main-stat on gloves/chest/boots and 25% as minor %-stat on helmet and shield) or just generally have the glove/chest/boots locked to %-based boni plus Speed (so it's still possible to get att%, def% or hp% on all three of them plus boots can roll Speed-flat on top) but without the chance of having them roll with acc/flat-att/flat-def/flat-hp
I mean, the General rewards Right now for reaching the Point-lvls are already "anti-climatic" ("win massive rewards" ?? sry. but srysly???) but this just adds some more dissapointment on top of it. And just as I'm typing dissapointed About stuff given to you by plarium --- I get the Server maintanance-warning. Again. *sigh*. Yeah. Besides the update-Bonus in the Mailbox we REALLY should get something for all the downtime, Bugs and issues we had in the last couple of weeks ---- so at least give us a good Tournament to compete in with REAL rewards and something to look Forward to / getting excited to participate in.
yeah, I'm sad / pissed / dissapointed and many will come in here like "oh cry me a river" but before you do that look into the Mirror and think About the idea first and if it wouldn't actually make those Events more interesting for the mayority of the community (and not only the "whales" which farm them anyway every Chance they get no matter how much Energy-refils they Need).
(also --- why doesn't the text-color-function work?)
