Extra prizes for Top 10% of Top 10 in PvE

Nonce Equitaur 2

In PvE, there are two aspects of frustration.

Very competitive brackets, where the top scores are incredibly high.
Nearly empty brackets, where lucky people jump in, play a few games, and win big prizes.

For the first, D3 should look at the Top 10 when there are 8 hours or so left in an event. If a bracket is in the Top 10% of brackets, an excruciatingly competitive bracket, then the number of people getting top prizes should be doubled. This would be announced 8 hours before the event ends.

For the second, there should be a minimal Progression Award requirement before getting Placement rewards. For example, in the Heroic Juggernaut, at 10100 points a player could get 25 Hero Points + Placement Awards.

late joining is already risky enough, like your other idea maybe add slice placement awards for all the players for the top 10 % hp/iso 3* cover in the slice and top 10% of all slices total get a lager hp/iso + 3* cover reward plus 3 event tokens, top score 4* featured.

additional rewards if they can get the average score above various levels of the progression up to top progression. rewards based on how hard to get average progression goals reached if not reached highest get top goal progression these can be given out once related parts of the event finish.

the main event screen can show rewards and current average score with listed progressive rewards, total score of bracket and current highest in slice, and total so far
