**Arcade is being extra tricky with his Murder Box...**
It appears Arcade has been non-cooperative in his approach to this month's side quest and presented his clues in a nonsensical order. Lucky you, Summoners, we have our best and brightest on the case and those clues should now be a lot more straightforward. While messing around in Arcade's files we came across a phrase, highlighted and bolded, with sparkles and pointy arrows: "the abode for the dead" ... Maybe that will help you along the way!

400k points at 4,500 per match IF you win every match is 89 matches, 89 matches with 90 elders marks per match is 8,010. For spender I’m sure that isn’t much but I’ve never had more than 3,000 elders marks.
For most players, the opportunity to do BG instead was always there. They didn't need to do anything. However, for players very active in BG, that opportunity didn't actually exist because they were already reaching or nearly reaching all of the milestone rewards. For them, the loss of the opportunity for AW could not be replaced by doing BG, because they were already doing BG.
It is specifically for those players that the higher milestones was necessary, or the AW opportunity would simply be lost. It is fine if players who ordinarily don't do much BG to try to push for those higher milestones, but those players cannot complain that they are being forced to do a hundred matches just to get them. If they do a hundred more matches than they normally do, they aren't just getting those top milestones they are also getting a ton of BG rewards they were otherwise not getting as well.
I score 450k points every season, while my alliance barely reaches 6M(acceptable and satisfactory arrangement for my team).
The solo rewards are shards and nexus. They are alright. Not too bad.
While the real rewards in my eyes are rankup resources, which are walled behind a requirement of enormous team effort.
Forget 12M, we will never reach there.
I'm taking about a score of 8.2M which we have never reached in 8 seasons.
In most 3BG war allinces, Everyone plays war and do their fights. But when it comes to BGs, no one is required to push it. Some people push on their own, some doesnt. Nobody is blamed for not pushing BG scores.
The present reward structure is extremely toxic and unhealthy for stable alliances.
How are my rewards up to me?
How can I get the rankup material which is much more valuable to me?
Should I leave my completely stable allince?
I cannot remember the last time my alliance scored over 3 million points in a BG season, if we manage that over the month then our reward is 4 Tier 1 Alpha Catalysts. Brilliant
Sorted
But if they keep it like this and hide good rewards behind alliance contributions, it clearly favors a subset of people, who will get there and thus this change isn't favorable at this last moment for EVERYONE.
I'll still be in top 5 scorers in BG of my alliance but will that get me the t6cc, probably not. That's the issue, that we can't make people go for it, or else we risk losing them.
Commitments cannot be changed at the last moment, an alliance is built upon agreed cooperation and commitment. Kabam has just moved the goal posts to where THEY think is ok to place the barrier for aw rewards.
However as per calculations, it doesn't even come close in terms of items, time or effort needed between the 2 modes.
Assumptions -
Target - 400k points
Win rate - 50%
Match time - 10 minutes
Only using elder marks, this requires -
Matches - 89
Elder marks - 8010
Time - ~900 minutes or 15 hours
And if someone spends units to buy these EM -
3432 units
I'll do it, sure. But how do I make other members do it, so we can actually get the rewards that matter?
We too are plat 4 and there is a good amount of our members who don't care much for BGs
If, over the past 8 seasons, an ally hasn't scored over 4 mil once but consistently gets plat 4 rewards then how is this new, 1 time only, way right or fair?
They should either move all rewards to the solo event, give nobody nothing or give us season rewards based on where we finished this season just ended. Those 3 things I've said are completely fair to all parties affected by this war downtime.
The problem with giving players control over anything is: they will use it.
Lol thinking about it, I'm wrong. It still doesn't give you the actual indefinite ability as we still need energy/elder marks to achieve it, both of which we don't need in war.
It cost players no ingame resources to start an AW match. Players could get P4 (maybe even more) without any cost in AW.
However, to achieve 350k - 400k points in BG would be quite costly for players (both in term.of in game resources and time)
