I don’t need or want to be given prizes for showing up. I want to see a few things fixed:
-I want d3 to return an interested and interactive presence on this board and to their CS mails. We had a lot of server hooey going on and no response from them on the boards about any of it. I have three support issues out with no meaningful response in about a month.
-I feel as a longtime player, d3 considers me a revenue source that has been “tapped out.” They admitted, only after poster comments, that they’ve given veteran players harder brackets, regardless of roster strength. I have no beef with the newer guys who are getting a smoother path than I got, but I expect that with enough player-days, they’ll get pushed off on an iceberg for another group of wide-eyed players.
-I’m just tired. I’ve never given this much semi-voluntary time to a game to be able to advance in it.
So, once my Season is up, and I’ve given a fair contribution to my alliance, I’m going to take a step back and watch how the game develops. If the staff doesn’t make any change in direction, I’ll give an honest review and copy it to d3. Then I’ll find something more rewarding with my time.
I don’t need a game to cater to my wishes, but it’s losing fun and it is negligent with its customer service.
Signed, 100 5deadlies.
My line in the sand was crossed when they refused to give alliance rewards to people who switched alliances a day after event had ended. People quit the game over this, and this lack of customer service is unacceptable.
Signed. Mainly to register my distaste for D3’s latest changes since I won’t be sticking around.
Every. single. change. lately made the game less fun to play and more about grinding and searching for more $$$.
I’ve enjoyed the underlying game mechanics, just not what has been done to them lately. I haven’t been very prolific on the forums, but to everyone, I’ve enjoyed the comraderie, suggestions and even the nonsense on here. Thanks.
I just informed my fellow Scavengers I will be leaving the game after season 1. Shout out to them for making the game a bit more enjoyable and making me want to stick it out this long.
Good luck to everyone who stays. I just can’t see the game getting better, just worse (especially for veterans).
I came here to look for something like this. I’m not terribly concerned about individual PvP events, but when you look at season 1 as a whole, it highlights something very wrong with the reward system.
I just had a member of my alliance tell me he placed 24th in season 1. That’s good for 2 heroic 10 packs. He had 7510 points. Meanwhile, I had 10794 and placed 129th in my bracket. I get 4 heroic tokens. Certainly nothing against my alliance member, but he gets 16 more heroic tokens for playing less. Let’s call that an average of 4 or 5 single PvP events of work in difference. On what planet is that fair?
Clearly the longevity idea only works reasonably (if you can even say that) on a smaller scale. Round robin bracketing would make much more sense, programmatic issues involved with that aside. Alternatively, multiply rewards by number of days played, or something of that nature.
Whoa, I wasn’t aware that Season placement was also bracketed according to longevity. While the actual heroic packs are less important to players well into their 2*-3* transition or already fielding a few L141s (so, pragmatically, I’m pretty “meh” about it), it still sucks that longevity-based bracketing was extended all the way to Season placement.
I finished with 10747 points at #100. #1 in my bracket had 16882 points and is a member of S.H.I.E.L.D
Not sure if that info can help anyone decipher this ranking system better.
I finished with 7774 points, good for 324th… 1st was 17239. I’m a 2 star team, probably in middle of progression. I’ve been playing a little over 2 months. I worked hard to get there and got an ok reward. My reward is season 2 is virtually unplayable.
Signed. I’ve defended the game and the devs time and again against what I found to be unjustified attacks. But now, even I feel that many of the most recent changes made the game less fun instead of more, like they should. Puny rewards in season/progression, ongoing reward problems with unsatisfactory resolutions, changes to punish successful players time and again…it’s just getting more one more work-ish to play MPQ, and that’s really sad
