#910293 Why Can't I Control My Prestige?

Posted by sweetlou on 18 December 2014 - 04:52

Anything past 2000 Prestige will still only give you 10% added xp for 6 hours. I currently have 8405. I've seen players holding 30k+. Currently if I use it I will have 0. Why must I be forced to use anything past the maximum reward? I'm not asking to use little tidbits or for the ability to sell it. I just want to be fully in charge of how my character spends the Prestige earned. Let us use Prestige in increments of 2000. The rest stays accrued.




#945178 Update and Downtime

Posted by Bluetail on 17 August 2015 - 21:04

Hoof mentioned this on the home page right when the poll was released:

 

"Once the poll completes we'll review the results and if the majority of players prefer the old system we will revert it back. If the majority prefer the newer version we will continue to work on improving it going forward."

 

Im pretty sure everyone knew what they were voting for EP, you gotta stay more vigilant :ph34r:  




#944733 PvP Ladder Rewards - what would you like to see?

Posted by Maehdros on 13 August 2015 - 14:52

Crystal medium dura items with great ( I mean Great) stats. It'll break, people will need more. Whether they need it for pvp, leveling, or both.


Some may simply only opt in when they need to replace gear/ potions. Some may stay opted in continuously. Either way, some type of reward to keep things active.


The more active a ladder, the more stamina sunk, potions, gold/ composing/ frags that will be used.


#944672 PvP Ladder Rewards - what would you like to see?

Posted by apedde on 13 August 2015 - 00:25

I would like to see different rewards that would not only encourage pvpers but other play styles (levelers, farmers, ....) to join the pvp ladder

 

rewards that I would like to see:

  • pvp and hunting crystalline gear with great stats but different durability (for hunting gear low durability because you always use UB and hunt for a "short" time, finish hunting usually before your UB expires; pvp gear medium durability because you use them a lot longer than for hunting and the gear will be used when you are offline too, sometimes with an expired UB and it will lose faster duration that the hunting gear)
  • pvp and leveling bound and unbound potions with diffrent durations (yotekiller post https://forums.hunte...-2#entry944510)
  • frag stashes (being on the pvp ladder and spending stamina and frags for composing pots drains a lot, they can get some frags back with buying frag stashes from the frag shop paying with tokens)
  • upgrades (reserve stamina, max stamina, .....)
  • unique special potions that are only availabe from the pvp ladder  (like a prestige-LIB potion that does only work on prestige or a wrath potion that increases all stats by 5-10%)
  • increasing potion duration with adding extra x tokens (could use same interface as composing without frags but with tokens)
  • EPICS but will need a lot of tokens, long and difficult to get
  • add stamina gain per hour purchase-able with tokens (max 5-10 stamina gain), long and difficult to get (this will encourage other playing styles to go for them too)

I believe the more different rewards for different playing styles are added the more activity the pvp ladder will draw in smile.png

some will go for the frag stashes, others for the sets or stamina gain, everyone has different priorities

 

please make inventor II not work when inventing pvp ladder gear

this rewards bring activity for pvp :D

 

but add this reward too

  • EPIC CHEST: if pillow fight system season gets epic chests then pvp ladder with xp loss need get epic chests too



#944649 PvP Ladder Rewards - what would you like to see?

Posted by sweetlou on 12 August 2015 - 19:09

Bound stuff is good.

I disagree! I think it there needs to be potions and gear just like in the Arena and the rest of the game - UNBOUND!! Let the game's marketplace handle the Ladder's value. Why is PvP always relegated to being unprofitable unlike other aspects? It's discriminatory and needs to stop.




#944378 PvP Seasons & Bounty Board - Poll Results

Posted by Algoa on 11 August 2015 - 03:04

Clock96 you're argument might carry some weight if in the 6 years that you have been playing this game you had more than a Bronze Bounty Hunter medal crediting you with a "least" 50 bounty hunter kills although under the new medal system it shows 500 kills. As all I've ever seen you wear is guild gear belonging to WK I'm not sure how much  "dancing" that you could have possibly done.  If your stamina upgrades are indicative of your BP upgrades then you wouldn't have the room to have multiple combat setups.

Howdy Rock,

     I'm sure you would agree that I, and many other WK's have not only been around long enough, but also have the pvp experience/reputation/character upgrades to speak on this subject inteligently. I can assure you I STILL danced on the BB up unitl these changes. There were also many other players who danced with me when clearing them. I also was a quite regular participant on my ladder, as many players in my range can tell you ;) Many of us still had a lot of pride in the fact that we could not only dance with, but regularly beat players over 2X our level. Yes the BB and ladders were less active then they were in the good old days, and i have a few ideas how to fix this. Including returning XP loss to the hunter, bountyable ladder attacks, smasher medal ticks counting on ALL 100 stam hits, new rewards and more. Much of this i will bring up in a PvP improvement thread in the near future.

     Having said that i am VERY happy that we will be returning to the old pvp system, perhaps even reverting it even further back to a previous and more glorious day. I like the thought of making this new "PvP season" it will allow those who like it to continue to do it and keep from wasting all that hard work HCS put into this. Hell i might even jump in there and get me one of those shiny new medals some time soon :)

 

VERY GLAD to see you involved in this Hoof, IMO one of the things this game has needed the most recently is more of your input and presence. Thank You!




#944371 PvP Seasons & Bounty Board - Poll Results

Posted by mary4ever on 11 August 2015 - 02:27

You can't add stuff in when they neglect it for years... Enough tokens in game combined with omacraz to destroy anything they release...Come on now use some common sense they won't work. I get what your saying...But if they are gonna do that it has to be from the get-go.

I could flip your arguement and say the same should apply to GvG rewards too when they are going to add new rewards for GvG too !!!

if all ladder tokens should be worthless then all RP from GvG should be worthless too !!!

do not you agree?

BUT I would like to follow Nappehs example: STOP TAKING AWAY FROM PLAYERS ........

everyone had the chance to get pvp ladder tokens AS did everyone have the chance to get RP from GvG !!!

IMO those who did not get any or a few only have themselves to blame, they had the opportunity but they choose not to of their own free will !!!

 

 

  • HCS gave us 2 chances to join the PvP season (think about 2 weeks in total or a bit less), those who missed it or did not join (like me) will have a chance to participate in the PvP Global event to earn the epic chests and the new medal or maybe from the PvP ladder as rewards
  • there are some asking for "compensation" because they spent a lot of stamina & resources, for gods sake you got an EPIC CHEST that can be opened 12 times => 12 EPIC POTIONS as rewards !!! these 12 EPIC POTIONS are more than enough, usually I spend about 40k-50k stamina to get 3-5 EPIC POTIONS during a global event, you got 12 EPIC POTIONS, players like me who spent years on an active PvP ladder, lost hundreds of levels, spent numerous resources (stamina, fsps, potions, time, ...) should be going crazy!!! we spent A LOT more than anyone has on the pvp season over the years on the PvP ladder and the rewards combined do not even come close to ONE single EPIC POTION !!!
  • PvP rewards were promised first, then ARENA rewards BUT they released ARENA rewards 1st and said they would release the PvP rewards later, unfortunately we never saw any PvP rewards sad.png Nappeh is right with what he said about PvP rewards being promised but not delivered, ask HCS they know it too !!!



#944366 PvP Seasons & Bounty Board - Poll Results

Posted by Melons on 11 August 2015 - 01:45

So, is there any point on dropping stam in the titan league now, unless you are trying to get first?

 

Also, I didn't appose the seasons update as much as the bounty board update. In my opinion, the seasons could have been a viable system with a few tweaks here and there. I think the main backlash  was the fact the bounty board and normal PvP was reworked as a whole, when we were told it was only the PvP ladder. 




#944166 PvP Seasons & Bounty Board - Poll Results

Posted by Hoofmaster on 10 August 2015 - 19:01

Hi all,
 
Firstly, we'd like to thank everyone who contributed towards the in-game poll regarding the PvP Seasons and Bounty Board update.
 
A total of 2,036 players voted and of that 515 liked the update, compared to 974 who preferred how the game was before. This means of the players who either liked or disliked the updated, over 65% preferred how the Bounty Board and PvP Ladder used to work. Or if you include the players that didn't mind along with people who disliked the update - it would give a total percentage of 74.7%.
 
Therefore we have decided to do the following:
 
1) After the current PvP Season ends next Monday, we are going to re-instate the PvP Ladder and Bounty Board to how it used to work. We'll allow players to opt-in in advance of the first PvP Ladder going live.
 
2) The PvP Season system will no longer be a permanent feature, but instead we will remove the Titan League part and convert it into a new form of opt-in Global PvP Event. As well as this, during the PvP Events we will re-instate XP Loss for rated hits and also remove the ability to place a bounty for them.
 
3) We will also re-instate the ability to select how much stamina is used in a PvP attack (from between 10 and 100).
 
We will also continue to work with the community to improve the PvP Ladder by looking at new rewards which in turn should hopefully encourage more players to take part. Also with the addition of new opt-in PvP Events it will add another interesting aspect to the game that we can run periodically in a similar way we run the Global Events.
 
Finally we will look to continually work with the community to improve all aspects of the game, but focus on more incremental changes that are discussed with the community via the forum and in-game polls before they are implemented.



#944125 Community Poll - PvP Seasons & Bounty Board

Posted by mary4ever on 10 August 2015 - 16:44

I picked few posts out that I liked here & agree with (started with the last pages because I did not have time to read them all:
 
 

what has "value" and makes profit draws participation to the ladder, that is how every aspect of the game works, be it arena, gvg, pvp, titan hunting, SE hunting, ...
 
for me the pvp season is an excellent idea for a GLOBAL EVENT (pvp)

I played on active ladders for years and what kept me and others there were the rewards !!!
at that time the rewards had "enough" value to attract people to the pvp ladder !!!
 
EXAMPLE: ONE single helhearts item was selling for 200 - 250 fsps for a period of 2+ years !!!
the helhearts set was a great set for leveling back then and with time their value dropped (that is natural according to SUPPLY & DEMAND)
years ago it was said that the pvp ladder would get new rewards after so many asked for them and it was decided to introduce new rewards to the pvp arena too !!!
unfortunately ONLY pvp arena rewards were released and the pvp ladder was "ignored"
 
it is no surprise that the pvp ladder has been seeing hardly any activity with rewards worth next to "nothing"
 

IF HCS would put the same pvp ladder rewards into the pvp arena, gvg, season then I am sure it would result in hardly any activity too !!!

 
 

Why is it that we must continue to insist on taking things away from people?  Tokens, whether you like them or not, were earned by people.  Some, admittedly, paid more than others for theirs.  So, it is what it is.  A lack of activity in some Ladder bands were not the fault of the players, it is the fault of no rewards of any value to be earned.  These tokens were earned with time, stam, and FSPs.  If you place a deadline of say 30 days from now and all tokens are deleted, what would happen??  A flood of the gear they invent will hit the market and values would plummet.  How does that help anything?  Why not let people just keep their tokens for goodness sakes??  I mean, we sit here and take things away from people and then sit around scratching our heads wondering why the game player base is declining.  We get up in arms and demand changes to the game for aspects that we don't like, then when the change comes and 10% of the players leave we wonder what happened?  Then another change and 10% more is gone.  We love winning these battles until a change comes to something that we like. People are becoming disenfranchised and are leaving this game, usually at the complaining of a minority.  Some people are winning a battle but will lose the war when they sit here playing a game with nobody left to compete with.
 
     For the life of me I do not understand why we keep taking away aspects of the game completely and then impliment completely different things?  Sure, tweak old things and improve them, but MAJOR game updates should be ADDITIONS to the game to broaden interest and player base.  I want as much as anyone to see thousands of people online at any given time.  But most of us have found just a narrow band of interest in the game as we are all different.  Then, when that aspect becomes radically changed and/or deleted, we lose the reason why we play.
 
    Please HCS, please stop just arbitrarily deleting whole aspects of the game and running off people.  Please, restore back some of the things that were taken away and change the policy to tweak when necessary and AD to the game in other areas.
 
    I hope all understand the sincerity of this post and its intent.  Whether on or off the mark I want as much as anyone to see this game revived.

biggrin.png  BRAVO biggrin.png
 
 

Don't give me the excuse either that 5 against 1 on a ladder all from the same guild is harder because it's way easier. I said before when the 1 has buffs he has 5 targets to hit and can take 1st at any time. It's likely the other 5 are not even all online and some on the ladders filled with my guild did not even bother to fight back.

many are under the impression that if a guild has more members in the same pvp band that those members would have an advantage BUT that is not true !!!
everyone who has participated on the pvp ladder against 2 players from the same guild or had a member from his guild in the same band knows that it is a DISADVANTAGE !!!!
before I joined my current guild I was in a small guild and had 2+ players from the same guild joining my pvp band, I had the ADVANTAGE because I could get attack 2 targets every hour and they could only attack me tongue.png
 
EXAMPLE: a month or so ago a player called kenwyl joined the 2600 pvp band to earn his dominance medal !!!
he was not from a pvp guild or even a "pvper"
the 2600 band had 5-7 players from the same guild participating, kenwyl joined and guess what, that player dominated this pvp band, he could attack 5-7 players every hour BUT the others could only attack ONE single target every hour, I watched as he rose in almost 1 attack session from the BOTTOM rank to the TOP rank and when he dropped it was very slowly !!!
he knew how to utilize it to his advantage & after a short time managed to get his dominance medal smile.png congrats smile.png
 
 

I play pvp ladder and many times ask to give value to our rewards to have more activity, years go and no response, pvp ladder get low activity because of rewards, if you do not believe then remove epic rewards from pillow fight system season and you see that same thing will happen, what makes season active is not pillow fighting, reason is epic rewards
if you do not believe then remove epic rewards and see how season activity get inactive

totally agree with you here
 
if HCS change the titan rewards to common drops for example then there would be hardly anyone titan hunting
 
the REWARDS on the pvp season are currently the driving force for the current activity, I mean come on, the REWARDS are EPIC CHESTS, we got EPIC CHESTS from GLOBAL EVENTS and that is another reason why the pvp season is in my opinion best suited as a PvP GLOBAL EVENT !!!!
 
I liked that there is a communtily POLL but to be honest I fear it will end up like this
  • if the pvp season stays & the new BB => well, nothing I can do, majority vote has decided
  • if the pvp ladder returns & the old BB => then they will add "tweaks" destroying PvP (this is what the last years of PvP updates have taught me BUT I am not losing hope)
in both cases "we" are in trouble? BUT I hope HCS is now trying to follow a new direction to promote PvP and not do the same direction they have been going for the last years that have watered PvP down
 
Doing-the-same-thing_Albert-EInstein.jpg
I think it is time or are we going to keep riding the "insanity" train and expect different results?
 
ps: I want to return to the PvP I used to smile.png

I can not wait to pvp again when this pillow fight system ends, epic rewards for pillow fight system but nothing for pvp with xp loss? I do not understand

I want epic chests too for my pvp with xp loss

 

pillow fight is in arena and gvg, leave pvp ladder alone and not break it to water pvp down

 

if pillow fight is reason for activity then why arena and gvg low activity?

reason for activity is epic rewards, not pillow fight system, put epic rewards on pvp ladder and sure activity get back :)

this pillow fight system season is nightmare and I want wake up from it soon I hope

We've changed it so that a post cannot be bumped more than once every 24 hours.

 

 

 

We've not changed the end time of the poll :)

Will the Poll results will be published for everyone to see? Would be great to see the transparent result, with the amount of votes cast.

I don't care about any other medals I'd never titan hunt, and I don't pay attention to them for the most part.

 

So if you don't care about the rest of the game, why should we care about you ;)
 

rageanger said he does not care about any other medals and your reply to him is that he does not care about the rest of the game, how do you interpret medals to game?

 

 

Glad to know you only care about one aspect.

the topic of this forum is PVP season / bounty board, it is about PVP and rageanger is talking about PVP here and mostly playing this one aspect of the game PVP

 

 

Trash the other medals.

where in this forum did rageanger say: trash the other medals?

 


I don't care about any other medals I'd never titan hunt, and I don't pay attention to them for the most part.

that is what he said or can you quote a post there he trashed the other medals like you accused him of?

 

Just don't mess with yours right?

again, the topic of this forum is PVP season / bounty board, it is about PVP and rageanger is talking about PVP here and mostly playing this one aspect of the game PVP

you are against the old pvp system because of its REWARDS, not because of its system (you did not attack the system in your other posts, you attacked the rewards on the ladder, read the posts in this forum)

then you used your last resort the "bully" card and started trolling, your posts do not have any basis

 

I have played on the pvp ladder for years and I know from experience how it got inactive, the reason were the rewards which were almost "nothing" worth

you do not talk from experience and you are not even participating in the pvp season which you like

the only thing you do is trolling and using the "bully" card
