    I have 9k elder marks, I would've find match and afk after I reached GC but If I do that kabam gonna banned me for "point farming". Sorry guys but I really don't like bg

    Play just one match then afk maybe.

    The positive side is that if we don't reach the milestones, the "reward budget" will be in positive numbers. So Kabam won't have an excuse to not buff rewards on other areas with whatever rewards we didn't get from this event... RIGHT?

    bro... relax man...
    so many players won't even begin playing bgs until a few days or a week into the season.....
    and not many if anoyne is in GC yet.
    once people get to GC points will speed up a lot.... as GC is worth a lot more....

    take a breath!!!!!!

    🤣🤣 Have u played the GC node last time
    many people will still play a lot tho. and we all all know those at the top who get big scores play a hell of a lot and use elders marks all the way
    I think the calculation is like we need 50mil score everyday 😂. We didn't get that in the first 24hr so we are already behind 🤷
    bro....
    its not all doom and gloom man...

    its pretty simple...
    - many people have not even started playing yet.
    - people are not yet in GC. once there they will score points at a much more rapid rate.

    are you doing your part?
    or are you part of the problem?

    I love how all the BG enthusiasts trying very hard to convince in terms of different strategies etc. 😅. I don’t see that happening

    If you don't like bgs just participate with your elder marks and lose. It will contribute for the community and you can also get some good rewards.

    How much data do you need before we get the initial report?

    Spamming matches with marks and losing only works to an extent. The question players should ask is what their individual points are and what they can expect to reach.

    5K individual points isn’t a given. At some point, some will make the calculation that grabbing the objectives every two days is enough because they won’t reach that 5K score.

    Observation from the field — there are more low level accounts playing in the first week than I have ever seen. I’m mid-tier valiant, 24k prestige, 7r3s, nothing special but I always make to GC. Usually, I play a few matches at the beginning of the season to check out the meta, etc. But in most seasons, I’m consistently outgunned by bigger accounts and hardcore BG bros.

    Not this time. There are lots and lots of smaller accounts playing in the first few days, based on my matches and win rate. It’s a good sign for the event.

    And personally, I’d say our goal is 1BN, not really 1.5BN. Let’s get that Titan. That’ll be a nice accomplishment.

    That’s great news then. Hope it holds up.

    Because they put a deathless shehulk piece to force players to play this season.

    I saw the same in diamond. I have 5 r3s, usually I get outmatched on day 1 and only due if I’m lucky or if I match with someone who’s not skilled. This time, pretty much everyone I matched with in Diamond, and even some in like Vibranium 5 had like 1 r3. Rest of vibranium has been brutal though but that’s to be expected
  • DrZolaDrZola Member Posts: 9,130 ★★★★★
    Contra: Matching up a rank in Diamond 2, which suggests there aren’t enough players in Diamond 1 looking for matches.

    Also, just facing myself or stronger versions there. None of the weak accounts.

    That might be the case, but who cares? In the other seasons when they juice the solo milestones, you get extra participation but everyone is fighting for the same pool of rewards. At least this time there’s some collective benefit to additional players participating.

    Part of what’s wrong with this event and the community’s engagement with it is that OP has written a dissertation that has 1100 views for an event that will require 100,000 people to reach peak milestones to have any chance at the good prizes.

    It’s hard for us to conceptualize the scope of the playerbase.

    A full 5-days in and there’s 80M points 🤣

    23 days left, at this rate we’d be lucky if the community reached 450M, considering that what it’s on pace for.

    Plus most summoners play less once they’ve completed the Victory Track meaning 450M would be the ceiling.

    My only regret was not realizing this sooner, I’d have saved about 4,000 elder marks thinking we had a shot at some of the good prizes. Literal bait and switch.

    Get your facts right buddy. We are only 3 days in and have 25 more.

    And you would have save them for what exactly?
    The only reason to save EM is the speculation of a special BG event. This is the 2 year "celebration" doubt you will see another event un the next 1 or 2 seasons.
    The point gain changes every 48s with objectives and so on. There is a lot of players doing objectives right now with energy just to claim them and waiting for the try hards to move up. I think we are going to see better numbers around week 3.
    Its a terrible event though and I agree we will be lucky to hit some significant milestones for Valiants.

    bruh.
    stop spitting lies.
    your whole comment is meaningless.
    3 days in and 85 mil points.

    also "literal" bait and switch.
    do you even understand that phrase?
    the rewards are there, withing our reach.
    nothing has changed.

    What have you been smoking, buddy?
  • DeaconDeacon Member Posts: 4,256 ★★★★★
    like the crystal cleaning thing i think they've sorely overestimated here. BGs is cool but it's not join the grinders and buy all kinds of elders marks cool. you have an incredibly low amount of points for a win to matter unless you're talking about a LARGE LARGE amount of the base winning more than they lose and that's not likely.

    and normal summoners won't spend to get the most (albeit too low) with elders marks.

    For a realm event… it just seems bizarre that energy and EMs are scored differently. If we are collectively working toward the same goals why separate the FTP points from the Pay to Play points?

    How much data do you need before we get the initial report?

    I’ll probably do weekly posts as with Crystal Cleanse, but as I write this we are just under 86 hours in and at about 100m points. The pace car for 1b would be at about 128m at this point in time, so we are currently under the pace.

    The big difference between Crystal Cleanse and BG Blitz is that Crystal cleanse started with a huge burst of Crystal openings and then dropped off a lot in the first week, whereas there’s less of that going on in Blitz. We’ll need to see how activity trends over time. Unlike with crystals, scoring activity has a better chance of staying level or even go up over time.
    i for one am thinking it will spike up as people get more points once in GC.

    also considering many people have not even started playing bgs yet
