Realm Events

Azure

Hi guys,
It's been couple of weeks and ongoing with the crystal cleansing event, and some of the mods said this is a demo for the next events. I don't think we will be able to reach 1billion mark by the end of the event, but since the reward aren't worh having a full stash of arena buffs and etc, i guess thats ok.

However, next event will be BG based, and as i understand so far, it will give us approximately %10 of our bg score in the realm points. 5k per person will be enough to cover all milestone rewards in the end.

If all the realm events in the future will have marks at billions, i highly doubt we will reach those marks. What do you think?
Is there any way to make it more manageable for the future events?

Honestly, because the rewards aren't even that great, I just want kabam to send 5000 tier 1 catalyst crystals to everyone

I'm not gonna lie. I'd love a bunch of extra t1 and t2 catalysts. Both basic and class.

So, that's kinda hopeless lol

I think, just an opinion, they're trying to get everyone more involved in bgs. The main problem is the outrageous score needed to maintain average rewards.

Is it really worth it? My opinion no

They're trying to increase player engagement, so I understand the lofty goals. If they can get the other 90% of the player base to engage like 10% does, these would be easily doable.
The problem is they aren't putting up anything that blows anyone away and gets players super excited to engage.
The rewards for the BG realm event are very good, and better than a regular season, but it is going to be a grind to get there and it won't be as exciting, especially if less engaged players don't show up.
These things need to be over the top. If they threw maybe a 7* nexus, a 7* awakening gem, a 2>3 gem...something big and potentially account changing for a lot of players, then they would probably get the engagement they're hoping for.

You think realm events that are time limited should have equal or better rewards than something like necropolis or story content? Wild.

Not at all. I am not saying they should have all of those things, just giving examples of ONE thing they could add. But they should have something that gets players more excited than shards and sig stones. Those are just examples.
I'll be putting in my 5k points at least because the rewards are better than any other season, and that should be enough for any other player to want to do it. But to reach 1.5b points with the way the scoring is set up, there might literally not be enough players to hit that because the grind has a random and somewhat non-guaranteed pay-off.

I could see a 7* nexus as a time limited add on sure. But a 2-3 gem or 7* awakening gem as a time limited grab, at this stage of the game, is still far too early as 7* are barely into their cycle still. 2 years from now, sure. They'll probably be as common as 6* gems are now. But until then, more t4a, sig stones, 7* and titan shards are good.

That's fair, and I definitely don't disagree. Like I said, these rewards should be more than good enough for anyone. The problem is we're given an objective that looks like they're aiming for 100% engagement instead of a more reasonable 70-80%.
Lofty goals are good. Impossible ones are discouraging and only make them harder to reach.

So, i can understand the engagement, but it's never gonna be %100
Lol i don't even think we will be able to reach %60 if im being honest. Good push, good rewards. But, yeah 1.5 billion is a crazy score. If the rewards were similar in this crystal cleansing event, we could actually see if we would reach that level or not.

The point is, these kind of events should be more reachable. Maybe lower the score, and make it twice a month. They don't even have to give out crazy rewards. (just because this is said, don't put profile pictures on the goddamn milestones. We literally spend hours to get those rewards!) Maybe people think that it's worth to spend hours in the game. Other than that, i think they are trying to do good for the community, and kudos for that.

Well...since it's unreachable per what u guys are saying, I'm not going to even bother. Didn't bother with the first, not gonna bother with this too until it gets reasonable.
Thanks y'all

And that's the problem. That "can't be bothered" attitude is what is going to ruin it for everyone that tries to actually benefit themselves and their fellow summoner. Super helpful.

The downside to having such a high goal. There's enough BG data out there for Kabam to make a wise decision on what a reasonable goal is based on previous player participation. That can't go 1:1 or this would be too easy. 5:1 could be a nice sweet spot. This feels like 20:1.

Well, kabam should have done the needful. Take a lesson from the just about to end realm event and made the event quiet entertaining and meaningful.
From what I'm seeing and hearing about this event, it's either I throw away my entire month for kabam's sake or I do something meaningful for myself with the Time and energy and yhh I'm going for me.

I mentioned in the other thread before the inclusion of alliance event and the 50 bi-daily points (up to 700 points total for the season) that we can reach 150M, 300M would be very hard but maybe MAYBE possible, 450M is where the rewards get interesting and I doubt we reach that. With the alliance event back to bring back the competitive nature of BG focused alliances we may be able to reach 450M. Time will tell. But 1B let alone 1.5B is way out of reach.
