the game with non stop PVE,

first i got to say i will be the first to say i loved PVE and hated PVP ever since i came to the game. I like how PVE gave you the chance to battle and not worry about being attacked but now it has changed.

like many have said the rewards need to be greater not LESS. I know a lot of people who love jumping in the last few hours of PVP and winning. Lets take a quick look at PVP VS PVE..

PVP- those who can jump in the last few hours and score mid to big.

90 mins of work every 2 days nets them anywhere from 1 to 2 covers at least 25 HP and token. Many are getting top 50 and some top 10 (meaning up to 100 HP) then the other 50HP from progression

1 -2 covers 50 to 150 hp for 90 mins of work every 2 days 3 to 6 covers 150 to 450 hp week

PVE
you have to log in when it starts and play around 30 to 60 to do 1 to 2 sweeps, you then have to log back in 8 hours later and do it all over again and then log in 5 hours later to do the last 90 min grind to the end.

Time per day 2 to 3 hours what do you get A token and if your lucky 100 HP
7 days 14 to 21 hours 4 tokens up to 400 HP and 2 to 3 covers

So

PVP 4 to 6 hours for 3 to 6 covers and 150 to 450 HP + token
PVE 14 to 21 hours for 4 tokens. 400 or so HP and 2 or 3 covers if your lucky

we really need more rewards for PVE before this non stop PVE kills it once and for all (though i do think they are trying to kill it off and bring ultron back as the normal PVE--- i know i said the same with deadpool)

end rewards at least for 3 star
TOP 25 get 3 covers
Top 75 get 2 covers
Top 150 get 1 cover

all allainces
top 150 get the cover


also something to think about 4 stars... how about making 4 stars two ways.. bring 4 stars out in ULTRON BASED EVENTS and PVE at the same time This would allow a lot more people to get covers, How you ask cause the major allanices will be going for the ultron rewards while it will allow the people who are either not good enough to fight in it (or are not in the major alliances to go into the single player PVE and get the covers .

the major allainces would be going after the ultrons to get the extra tokens (hp and 1 of each cover while others will just be going for the covers in the normal PVE ..

    Please rethink how you play the game and the irrational train of thought that a person (or you) must participate in every PvE. PvP has been a constant. PvE is now a constant. You are not required to be a constant. If you find problem with my words then you might want to admit that you might have a problem. It's only the first step to recovery.

    I'm reading the OP, and I don't see him saying that at all. What he's saying, correctly, is that the awards for PvE are disproportionately low compared to PvP. And hell, in the past week, they've made them even worse. This isn't a good thing.

    i tried the whole "entering a PVP with an hour left" last night with the HB pvp. Started rank 76, got the token and 25 hp with 18 minutes left, was at rank 19. Zero attacks, finished #26 (grr) but with no effort other than barely paying attention to a show my wife watches while i played.. i got a cover, some HP, a token, more HP, some iso, and all the match rewards.

    I see his issue. I also did not get attacked, so this helped my overall season quite a bit, i hit the QS black progression and now working on my 10 pack for the 3rd season in a row.

    Also, entering the PVP at the last hour, i have never seen such high point encounters for **** teams.. loaner/92/94 team giving 47 points on 3 straight fights. Gladly take those, thank you.. didn't even need to use a health until after the 4th fight.

    To add to that, PVE, particularly if you are trying to get decent placement, it is best to play the entire event when it starts to mitigate getting in a bad bracket that doesn't fill and everyone has at least one refresh on you. You literally can't do anything to make up the points lost if you are 8 hours or more behind when the bracket started.

    You can take a day off PVP after each event and still do about as well in the next one because they are smaller brackets, tend to fill faster and you can sprint to the top of the leaderboard because it is based on roster strength and not time invested and when you get into the bracket.

    If you want rewards in PVE, you have to invest time and for what you get back, it is a difficult proposition.
