I’m not even participating in this overly complicated event
it’s easy, It’s the normals job to spread the cure and it’s the zombies job to destroy the cure
Cure is clearly going to win, it's almost done already.
I just hope these hunger pfps get made available to us anyway; because like what is Kabam going to do, just let them go to waste?
only ones to get these pics are the ones who stay Zombified
Everytime a new tier is reached another one appears. You have no idea when it will be almost done.
I’m staying hungry cuz I like zombies and stuff.
someone said we all get the winning side reward so we won’t be able to get the zombie pfp even if we stay on hunger. .
So I just had a thought, could there be a massive flaw in this Realm event quest?
So the idea is that None Infected players can Cure Zombie players.
So the Zombie players have a choice/option to be Cure or stay as Zombie.
However for the None Infected players there is no option for them to change over to Zombie.
This is more problematic, when players original pick side, they did know what is the difference in reward or even how the rewards work.
So for the None-Infected players there isn't an option for them to go for the Hunger rewards and profile even if they want to
Could anyone have official confirmation on this.
Because it will be a massive issue if it wasn't.
And if this really is the case, I.e, everyone get the same rewards of whichever high side is, then there is no point staying on the Hunger side. Better to be Cure contribute on the Cure so all can get higher rewards.
Either way it is really important for Kabam to let players know before the event end, or it could cause more unnecessary upset to the community.
Tag me when you get the answer... even if its late. I'll wait.
I will make a post on Monday in hoping someone from Kabam will respond.
Will tag you in if we get anything back.
Yes, this is one of the fundamental issues with the event.
It's basically a very sophisticated version of the classic Prisoner's Dilemma.
It seems pretty clear (from a practical perspective) that we'll all get the best rewards if we cooperate and work together.
Any noncooperation will effectively reduce the overall rewards.
It's possible that theoretically we could generate more rewards by Curing 99% of the population, and those people then feeding Cures to be destroyed by the infected (since one infected person can destroy an unlimited number of cures). However, this would take a fairly phenomenal level of cooperation; since clearly the Cured aren't going to continuously pump Cures to people who are destroying them, unless it's all part of an agreed strategy. And we've no way of measuring the numbers of Cured people in the population, which makes doing the maths fairly problematic.
Ultimately, the rewards are Statcast shards, some 7* shards and Titan shards, so... How much effort is it worth, really?
TL:DR - just get the cure when you can, and pass it on. It's really not worth the trouble of trying anything more sophisticated; since any other strategy is going to be impractically complex to execute, for the available rewards.
