The more I think about it, the more I have my reservations about hiding the top 100. Especially compared to the other ideas here, I really don't think that would do much to encourage more kills vs just annoying people...
I really like the idea of giving 1 extra Ruby pot for all players who reach a certain threshold but I wonder if 25k is achievable for lower-level players with limited stamina banks. I know I can reach it if my stamina is close to full at the start of the event and I use a high-level Conserve and get 2 good hunts in but it's still quite a challenge. In terms of fairness, I wonder if 20k kills would make more sense.
I am completely against basing the required kills around the player's stamina. While it makes sense to get a player with 10k stamina to get 20k kills, it is ridiculous to ask a player with 50k stamina to get 100k kills.
If HCS agrees to a tiered system for giving out extra Ruby chests, I don't think any of the proposed ones make much sense. There would definitely have to be a sliding scale such as 20k, 50k, 100k
This scale would give the top 3 contributors who each made over 100k kills 3 extra chests in addition to what they get for the top 100. Also, if HCS decides to implement such a scale, I think the bonus for top 100 should be dropped to just 1 additional chest or removed completely. Even if the bonus chests are removed from top 100, players will still battle for the top 100 medal and if they can reach 100k kills, 3 extra chests.
Good points made here. It is difficult to create something new that is fair to the entire community, and there are pros and cons to hiding the top 100.
I'm really not sure we have to mess with the system. It just worked pretty well.
The debate about stam usage and fairness and incentives happens Every. Single. Global.
There is always the argument that maybe NEXT time X and Y type player won't bother participating. That maybe NEXT time we won't hit ruby.
I've always been of the opinion that if we don't hit ruby we'll learn from it and play harder next time. That does seem to be the case. And we'll learn to use and make the most of our reduced rewards.
Strangely enough the debate about globals often (I'm not saying always) seems to be about gaining MORE rewards and MORE incentives. EXTRA chests for things.
I think the rewards are massive as it stands from this global.
I think we'd need to see a consistent failure to perform before looking at altering things or increasing incentives.
Hitting Crystal and Ruby every time is not failure.
(BG if you want to give out extra chests for 4 or 5 times the ruby qualifier, fair enough. I'm not sure it is necessary TBH. And more epic chests in game from stam usage in globals reduces lingering urges to donate for epic chests - that needs to be considered in terms of the overall health of the game - by the players as well as by HCS. Yes, I'm being a boring old so in so.)

The amount required to gain an extra chest would be 4 or 5 times the Ruby qualifier. I disagree with tiered ideas as it essentially looks like punishing those who have more stam.

#916399 Mercenaries - In DIRE need of additions

I honestly think guild mercs has become useless. items and buffs have become so powerful that in very few situations would smaller guild ever need mercs. in the larger guilds, most of the time mercs are completely forgotten
I have to agree. I see using merc only usefull in case You do not want to risk losing Your kill streak. Other than that it is much easier to take the big bad creatures solo.
Both of you are in guilds with multiple relics, one more than the other, admittedly.
The relics you have give you pretty darn good stat boosts. Not all guilds can get relics.
I'm looking at the bigger picture here - the mercs are outdated with FAR too many being of low level and next to useless stats.
Some guilds need mercs more often than others and should be able to find useful ones instead of a merc offering 20% of 172 Attack (Dwarf Veteran) for instance ..

Also Grim, could you list the latest top 100 contributors of of this event, in stead of the first event?
In other words, reverse the order of the events on the Top 100 Global Quest Contributors page.
Cheers ![]()

Hide the top 100 till the event is over.
It's simple really.
All of this sliding scale depending on max stam stuff is nonsense.
I mean really, you want to make the game harder for people that upgrade their character? When does that start making sense? Character upgrades are meant to make things easier for the player, not the opposite way around.
Just make the top 100 an unknown quantity till the event is over, that way everyone pushes their hardest, hopes it's enough and gets all excited when the event ends and they rush to see if they made it. (Or they hedge their bet on what they 'think' will be enough and cross their fingers)
This "Oh look at the top 100, there's no way I can do that, I'm not even going to bother" stuff that is happening now is both saddening and unnecessary.

Since when?
Max levels in Composing are AM 400 and Conserve 300
AM 500 is wonderful when farming since it gives you 100% chance of respawn so you never have to move unless someone comes & kills the creatures where you stand and obviously Conserve 500 is far superior to 300 at making your precious stam go further...
He was talking about SH maxing at 450 which is more than enough of what is needed.

Is it possible to remove the log spam, where it says "You gained 1 x Common Fragments by auto-opening the Fragment Stash dropped by 'Zombie Yeoman (Global)" ? Make it a preference, if players want it.
Yeah, asked Zorg about this and it's easy enough to do, but would require we take the game down, thus we'll implement it after this event.
I'd like idea of a medal for the amount of Global Creatures kill, like we have the Titan medal.
A Medal or Guild Achievement is something we could look into I'd wager.

Now, this has been mentioned before and shot down. The potions are staying as they are.

HCS can't win. Give people a heads up, people complain. Surprise everyone, people complain.Thanks for yet another event HCS! It's good to keep having things to do on FS
One thing I have noticed though, it almost seems as if on here, if a couple of people ask for some sort of event, they get it. I know this event was asked for by a few people and all of a sudden, a few days later it's been released again. Not that I'm complaining but there's no element of surprise anymoreWe know about the 2x XP event, the dragon LEs, the titans, santork/reindeer LEs and this global event ALL in advance. There's no pleasant surprises anymore

For me the Vampiric Chest (Halloween) and the Cut Ruby Box (OK1000-Mosquitos) are a lot better than this one, but yeah, that chest is great too.
*The reason to prefer the Vampiric Chest over than Zombie Chest, is because Vampirica have SH and CoA 525 inside.
Personally, the AM and Conserve are my favorite buffs for the way I play making this one unbeatable.
There are many ways to play this great game but I think it's fairly safe to say this chest is among the top 3 for most players...
