Would it be possible for the Factions that finish 2-5 to get something in the Behemoth hunts? Maybe some AR points or something like that. If we want more factions to take part it would make sense. As it is now, if you aren't going to win there is not much incentive to compete.

Indeed. This is on the "List o' Doom". Something I'd like the Coders to look at soon. Need to work out the prizes and what type of points it should give. Not AR as that is Artifact Requisition points. Something new perhaps.

I don't think it's necessary to give rewards for 2-5 place. There aren't always 5 factions competing. Maybe something for 2nd place, but even then, they are usually the faction that just finishes off the Behemoth for winning the faction.

The point is to change that scenario.

and 2-5 rewards should be based on BH kills ( it makes sense according to me, the more kills - the more points Faction will get = maybe buy Legendary drop for some "point" amount)

I fully support the idea of incentivizing behemoth hunts, HOWEVER, I am totally against another "point" system.

We have too many "point" systems in place. They lack creativity. As with the artifacts, there is not incentive to take one over the other. At least in that other game relics have unique advantages making certain one coveted over others. I really think that the game mechanics could use an infusion of the same creativity it gets in storyline and art.

Mechanics tend to be numbers....

The problem with the AR points is not the point system - it's the creation of 300+ AR points per day with no real use for them. I can't imagine how the reward to Behemoth hunting losers could really be anything but a fraction of some reward. So, measured in points. You could call them anything you want - but they'll have to be able to be added up to use things.

Indeed. We have ideas already, regarding this.

I got another idea concerning this issue, when 2-5 Behemoth reward will be applied:

- i think each Behemoth would need different point system, for example Altus point system differs from Rorsarakan. So, for some amount of Altus points u can buy "Sanctuary Colossus Core", for some amount of Rorsarakan points u can buy "Heart of the Sun".

-I think this is good because u cant hunt Rorsarakan and get latest Behemoth item, if u need that latest BH item, u need to fight that BH.

-So, what u think about this idea BigGrim? and other guys?

I don't think individual points is the way forward. Every time we create a new Behemoth, we'd need the Coders to create a new point system. No, I believe a universal Behemoth point system would be best.

I would like to know the status of this. As it stands it take a VERY long time to kill this Behemoth and it would be nice to have an incentive for those who may end up placing 2 - 5 to continue to hunt it.

This sounds like the Titan update where you have to save up TKP to buy titan drops(oggy gloves, skaldir frosbitten boots). and to be honest I don't like that idea, it throws off the hard work of winning the behemoth :(
