Dive trail/ reward for playing

So uhm do I get my trail or not? It used to be that after the season split u get the trail right after now u have to challenges aswell? How ab no already did the work to get the trail and that leads to my other point u barely get anything for playing the game. It feels like it’s not even worth playing.

    I dont think preds were complaining, or they could just turn the dive trail off. Looks like it was a company decision for whatever reason.

    That’s true you could just turn it off 😭 so why are preds complaining lol. I just feel there’s not much point of even playing ranked or even the game in general you get what 1 pack every 20+ games lol(not to mention the game is unbearable rn and im a day 1 player) . I get it’s a free game but I also feel if ur playing the game for hours at a time should be some kind of reward especially ranked. Not the stupid gun cosmetics or holo things. Plus now you have to do extra challenges for the dive trail and become champion on ranked ladder for it well I already became champion on my ladder and it wasn’t marked, still at 0/3 so yea fun times wooh. 

  • I thought it an odd thing to do, to remove the dive trail prize. 

    The reasoning behind it:

    "A reward for being a top player shouldn’t give away valuable information at a critical part of the match"

    does not make much sense, as the rewarded player does not have to use their dive trail in ranked. From what I've seen in ranked, there's a few preds that are still using their powwaarrrrr dive trail, despite the above info.

  • Wooh a useless badge😂 thanks. so I’m basically playing rank for nothing than? I’m not trying to like pisssssss you off but do you get what I mean we want something that seems worth playing the game. Cosmetics gun skins and badges don’t really mean anything to most of us. How about blue shards or even small amounts of other shards. We need a reason to stay or we will leave it’s not a fun game to play anymore imo. 

    also wanted to add I get having to get rid of the trails it did affect ppl but sucks some ppl ruin it for the rest of us. We just need something to feel like it’s worth playing bc there’s plenty of other games 

    had to edit it bc apparently pissssss is a cuss word even tho it’s not in that context gotta love it😀😀😀😀

    Hey grannyplayz​,

    This was actually changed all the way back in Season 18, with Revenant's rework. You can check the blog here for the full details, but I've put the relevant portion below as well. Essentially, you'll be getting a badge rather than the dive trail.

    RANKED REWARD REWORK

    In previous seasons, players achieving Diamond+ ranks would get access to an exclusive season-long Dive Trail.

    We’ve been observing an unintended effect where the presence of a Ranked Dive Trail during the drop would unduly influence where players wanted to land—either strongly avoiding or actively pursuing players with the trail. 

    A reward for being a top player shouldn’t give away valuable information at a critical part of the match, so we’ve made a change to swap the Dive Trail reward with an Epic Banner Frame as the Diamond+ Ranked reward.

    • The Epic Banner Frame lets players flex their hard-earned status at the start of a match and more importantly, every time they take down other players.
    • Badges, Holosprays and Weapon Cosmetics will continue to be rewarded in Ranked as in previous seasons.
