The proposed revisions to the tournament will reduce participation rates.

My hanger strength: 6.5k ,sp 23k, years played: just over one, activity: daily

Last tournament finally bracket result: Master II, started in professional one  I think 

I found the new tournament fun and engaging. I was able to play more often than not, with a teams that could consited of more players than bots.

1. I thought the bot difficulty was fine. Increasing bot difficulty will lower participation rates of new players who will lose more. When players are not getting rewarded with acoins for loses in earlier ranks, it will likely discourage players from participating. Big spenders will be rewarded, ftp or small spenders may not participate.

Fix: I would suggest leaving acoin rewards alone earlier on because it is a small amount and helps new players. Win/Lose players lower rank players should get acoins to help them develop. It would help with player retention and pull new players in. As these players grow, they are more likely to spend real money. Remember, the tournament feedback was likely from long time players not new ones who have yet invested in the game ecosystem.

2. GrandMasters should receive acoins for winning not losing. The boy dfficulty should be increase. The acoins reward pool should be much higher 

3. Lastly, let's not forget that some of us spent a ton of time building up resources and spending them on upgrades to only have a patch come out and lower the prices of everything besides legendary by up to 75 percent off. I'm still bitter her the time I spent unlocking tiers was wasted when everything now is much cheaper.

Secondly, I spent money on both eclipse and revokers, only to have them nerfed to oblivion. Balance is important, but when people spend money on items only to have them nerfed multiple times, it is a intentional devaluation of the original purchase. There could have been compensation by Plarium to make up for it. 

Thanks and good luck

I’ll pass your feedback to the team. If you can share a bit more detail about what feels most unfair or which bugs you’re running into, it would really help.

Thanks for speaking up even when it’s frustrating.

Even with these changes, you will still earn several times more A-Coins than the old Tournament system

Who came up with that maths? Because that is not true, I was earning 2450 to 3150 acoins every week from the old Tournaments because I'm a good player and got top most days, 

So several times that would be over 17,000 acoins a week

And these new tournament the last one, I was only earning 2000 a week because of being paired with players who don't know how to play as a team so on average it was 2000 a week for those 3 weeks of the new tournament,

That was already less than what I earned in the old tournaments and now you're going to reduce the rewards for winning and no rewards if we lose because of bad teamates, even we we get top kills and vip, so again it will be alot less acoins we earn, probably 1500 a week if we are lucky

So please explain how that is several times more when it is actually half of what we earned in the old tournaments 

Fixed: because I'm a SP Dropper and got top most days 

All this and no date as to when tournement is coming back. Seems to me that its just going thru the code and changing some variables and moving on but yet here we are no tourney for over a week and no real date as to when its coming back.....

there is a lot of feedback here because this is where feedback is accessible and should be based for everyone and not on places like discord where most of us will not be, because lets be honest, who is using discord? i dont really know anyone. I joined it for rewads that I never received but it's not where I would voice my opinion. If you ran away from us, doesnt mean we will come chasing you and beg you for changes. Keep making decisions with your little circle of special people providing feedback that majority does not agree on.

The negative feedback is the only good feedback, something for you to think about what would actually make people happy, attract new people and make existing players stay.

I really don't mind your changes, like you said yourself, its better rewarding than old tournament, I will still be happy with it rewardwise. But as others said above, no need to compare it to something that was deep trash to make this "new tournament" shine in better light. 

The one thing you will really accomplish with these changes, you will lose people and we will again be playing with 8 stupid bots every battle that you will also "make smarter", by adding extra legendary mods, implants and guns, because that is the only smartness they can get from you, - NONE. And I hope you will feel lost sales within just a month or two because there will be nothing interesting left in this game, but of course you will never link it to your decision, blame the summer weather. I am losing my interest to play with bots, it's not fun, giving them gemini 16 instead of gemini 8 will be even less fun for me.

Like others said above, I have no idea where you getting your feedback from, I'm not the one of the moaning players, I like the challenge, less rewards don't scare me, I'm scared of the big picture where tournaments are full of bots because that is what I see clearly. I have no idea how losing lot of players will heal the game economics for you. 

If i was competing against real people all the time, I might have had some stimulation to consider to buy a new robot for real money, because I have money, but I will certainly never do it to compete with bots, and that is what you get just awfully 100% wrong about your economics, removing rewards for loses will remove players. Removing players will add bots. Adding bots is an utter crappy idea that will make you lose sales. Who needs to buy robots or guns to show off in front of bots?!??!?!? Are you mad?? 

You want people to buy skins? Make less bots and more real players, no idiot in the world will be buying skin to show it to the bot. Bots dont care. And if you change their names every 3 days does not make any difference, we all know that we played with bots, or do you think everyone is stupid?? You can trick new people for a month, and then oh wow what a wonder, he stopped spening!? he figured you out, nobody wants to play with bots here!!!!! 

You just announced something that was literally between the lines saying: "you will get less rewards and tournaments will be full of bots again and the bots will be stronger"

I would share what needs to be changed to improve your economics, but you dont really care, we share it here every day, nobody is reading, you decided to retreat into discord where nobody can find you. 

Thumbs down. Good luck.

bruh I can barely get enough acoins as is! And the bots were already to hard or me to fight against! pls keep the design of the version of the new tournament

When is crate rush schedule coming out???????

Are you going to bring back single style tournaments alongside the new "improved" ones where it's a crapshoot what style the next match will be and thus takes you out of the game back into reality, like a commercial in the middle of a good movie would be a good comparison, so like for instance if you really love the FFA tournaments but don't really care much about 5v5 or CPC, every so often there would still be a strictly FFA tournament?  

I know I don't speak for everyone but the new style of switching formats match to match as really killed the enjoyment of it all.  When I jump into (99% of the time) a FFA tournament it's because to me it is a really fun style (except the level when you start in the chute, that one is really annoying but I digress), and that's what I joined to play whether it be a 5v5, CPC, etc jumping around from format to format, which I get the idea behind it, some are better in 5v5 some are better in this or that so rotate to give everyone their chance to shine or whatever.  cool. but  I don't see why we can't have the new 8 chance limit, because yes it does seem much more fair.  but just do it with a consistant format each time... (pick a length day, 3 days, week, whatever) of 5v5 then rotate to FFA then to CPC then mixed mode BS for the people that were never told you can't ALWAYS have what you want available ALL the time and sometimes in life you DO have to wait for things.  And maybe they'll learn that the wait builds anticipation and that anticipation, when finally satiated makes that first kill of the tournament that much more satisfying and that makes them realize other things that they previously deemed unfair in life is just a part of life and then everyone sits around sings kumbayah and and asks if theres any new promo codes and we finally acheive world piece because the nations of the world laid down their arms and now settly their differences in mech arena tournaments: Where the stakes just got higher because the prize is your world.

So anyway, if they could do some single format ones here and there that'd be great.  Stay awesome.

Please keep an eye on our announcements 😉

Thank you for bringing it up. I get what you mean about sticking to one mode. I’ll pass along your suggestion.
