Tourney are good

Hello,

Many posted their dissatisfaction with Tourney and i will give you my point of view as an FTP from February.

1. It does not cost anything to enter the tourney and grab some free credit and gear.
2. Adjust your expectation: I know I can't be top 10 even though I rank first in arena everyday, but that is life and some players paid much more than I, so it fine. If CG decides to collect cash through tourney and AP, so be it! At least FTP have a shot at unlocking him.
3. It is the only time when you can use your whole roster. I sit on probably 5 arena worthy teams and I can't use them (modulo tank raid).
4. No refresh and 24h tourney are really valuable.

Some points of improvement:
a) Rewards should be scaled accordingly. The difference is like 200 shards between first and 11. This is too much on a server of 5K players.
b) There should be a script to check if players position is plausible: taking the number of AP spend and the quality of the roster, Devs should create a likelihood estimator to determine how likely a players has cheated (comparison to peer for example). Players should be compensated as well...
c) Fixed cost tourney and Tier: a solution to many problem is to create Tourney where the amount of AP is fixed for every players and they are allowed to only use this amount of AP. Moreover, it would allow to create different Tier of rewards (say 50k AP, top 10 gets 7*, 200k top 100).
  • My problem is the unevenness between shards. I can start early, spend lots of time and AP to struggle to get anywhere. My wife jumps in attheend of the tourney, looses the first battle and plays a few more and places twice my rank. On her tourny shard first place had something like a third of the score as first on my shard.

    This has sucked the life out of tourneys for me.
  • Agree 100 percent with OP. Why all the hate on whales? Jealousy is one thing, but to argue that they shouldn't get value for money that they spend is illogical.
  • There is a lot wrong with tournaments for them to be counted as good, fair enough you get free stuff but if they ran another event in the place of tournaments you would also get free stuff and enjoy it more.

    The difference between shards is really bad, I have out scored my friends every tournament and struggled to make the top 1000 they have gotten into the top 100.

    Once you are over level 80 and have an arena power of 35k you are matched with players who have over 50k.

    The characters are only rewarded to the top few and the tournaments are advertised as your chance to get the character yet most won't and they keep changing the character so you can't even work on one over multiple tournaments.

    And all that is not including the cheaters who are increasing more each tournament as players realise its the only way for them to get the overpowered characters rewarded in tournaments.
  • In my guild i have 2 cheaters. I have reported them and ea dont have done anything

  • It's too bad this discussion disintegrated into a discussion of cheating. Report cheaters to CG_LucifersDaddy
