BGs - seeding without milestones and the 1-year anniversary

Did you write this with your tin foil hat on?

I just can't understand how something that is supposed to be a celebration event has been turned into a grind-fest.

The starting at diamond instead of bronze has absolutely hurt me far worse than it's helped me. I am admittedly not that great at the game mode, but my ally wants everybody to hit all the milestones for the rewards (understandable). But without starting in bronze I can't win enough matches with the amount of free time I have to play. So something that was supposed to be a good thing has turned into a really bad thing because I will NOT be able to get enough points for the millstones. Because of this I'm hurting my alliance, and now BG has now become a source of anxiety instead of a fun game mode. At least before I could go from bronze to diamond or vibranium and sure I'm not getting much in the way of solo rewards but at least I could contribute to the alliance. It's a big problem for me atm.

No it would have stopped my PC from working, despite protecting my brain waves. I only use the hat when I write on notepads.

You didn’t even use this right

I agree, this event is a grindy mess. I saved marks for it and got to around 410k points in victory track after tons of grinding, and how I’m in GC having to use 15 energy for 375 points. I’m not expecting to win against these super high tier players, but we can’t seed and there’s no point increase from VT to GC (which is the dumbest thing ever).

Wish I could just put some 2* in my deck and throw some matches for the remaining points.

Its only been 8 days since the season kicked off, 410k points its a big number, you could have paced it and make it less grindy on yourself.

410k was with elders marks and it didn’t take much effort. Using energy does, which I’ll have to do now anyways unless I buy them. I’ll pace this last section out but I’m tryna just be done with battlegrounds fast this season.

I'm taking my time. I'm at 160k. I'm only going for the 7* Shards, and if I have time, I'll grab the Titans. It's not that big of a rush.
I will agree that seeding has its drawbacks though.

You are not getting the point, you said "after tons of grinding". You are the one who decided to grind it in 8 days, no one forced you. It only takes 3 wins with elder marks to hit the top milestone in solo event. Its hardly grindy or has anything to do with seeding.

Seeding has much draw back as tanking though.
Expecting easier or winnable matches while climbing is almost the same as staying in a lower tier to beat smaller opponents.

It's a drawback because you start off among everyone from the GC. So getting momentum takes more effort. You start the Season off with quite a high percentage of Loss.

*Most do anyway.

I understand that; but as a GC capable player wishing to start at Bronze to get winnable matches to hit milestones is almost the same as tanking matches in a tier.

I didn’t say anyone forced me lmao. The event design is still crappy because of the amount of points you earn per match. It should be less of a grind even if spaced out throughout the month. Also 3 wins? What are you even on about

I didn't say I wanted to start at Bronze. I understand your point there. I'm just saying there are drawbacks. Although I wouldn't agree it's the same thing.

I didn't say YOU did, talking about the thread.
It's not 100% the same; just the idea of making scoring easier on behalf of matchmaking.

The event isn't really that grindy, people trying to rush to get the milestones made it grindy so it's on them really. I've been going for 18k-20k points (about three wins or two wins and two losses) a day mostly and I'm already at 170k points with 8.5k elder marks left. I did do a few more matches on certain days but I went for 18k-20k on most days and my elder marks stash is still full.
Also, he is right about the three wins a day, if you win three matches a day with marks you're basically getting 20k points a day, more than enough to eventually hit all milestones.

Very well written, it’s the 1st time anniversary and rewards could’ve been done differently for festive reasons.
