IceIX, what do the rewards look like?0

Maybe they are finally trying to beat it out of us that any of us should expect top rewards for anything and just take what we can get and be happy with it...0 -

As cool as a meta-score adding feature to give more rewards for doing nothing additional sounds, it will also be harder to put the damn game down for a few days, and it's already a little too addicting
I also think this shouldn't involve alliances in any way, shape, or form and I think the alliance inclusion in almost everything is going overboard a bit0 -

Versus Tournaments are the PvP events that aren't Lightning Rounds (or the buy-in PvP events). They last 2.5 days and are bracketed. There's almost always one running at any given time.0 -

Excellent
! Exactly what this game needed! 
A meta-PvP system
! And another free reward for the big 20-member alliances 
!
All we need now is that new Jubilee character and we will all be sitting on the 2014 mobile Game o/t Year
!

Now excuse me while I go tank the ShieldBro event.0 -

So that means only the 3 weekly PvP tournaments count towards season score?0 -

If the tournament season is instead based on say the sum of your MMR at the end of each event that'd actually be different enough.
Wait, how would this feature encourage tanking more than it's already being encouraged?
Because now there's even more prizes given for tanking well from the prizes on the season event
The tournament season should measure MMR, not PvP rating, since it's well known that you have to have a relatively low MMR to have a high PvP rating, and yet by definition the people with the highest MMR are supposed to be the best players so that makes no sense.
I feel like MMR is too volatile of a stat to be used to determine event placement. It would completely get rid of tanking, but I can see a lot of other issues associated with it, such as making it so that lower tiered players are completely screwed out of placement awards (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but completely against D3s strategy of making anyone able to place in any event).0 -
Not finalized yet, but the current concept is:TheFallen wrote:IceIX, what do the rewards look like?
Relatively standard rewards for progression (Iso-8, Health Packs, a couple Boosts, Tokens) but on a longer tail than a normal event.
Agent placement rewards are a bunch of Heroic Tokens (maybe a 10 pack token?), some Iso-8 and Hero Points.
Alliance rewards are similar to Agent rewards.0 -
Tokens are good, better than expected.
For some reason I was expecting to read 1 of every cover to each shield member, second place through 50 gets some hp and iso.0 -
It's something new and they gave us an announcement ahead of time, so props to the devs on that.0

ooh cool! progression rewards too! I really like this idea! So we basically don't really do anything different? we just get extra rewards for competing in vs tourneys (which I do already!) Hope it's as cool as it sounds! Are there brackets? or is it everyone on the same leaderboards?0 -

There's nothing volatile about MMR other than your ability to lose a ton of games on purpose to lose it quickly. I have gone through a month basically seeing the same 15 guys on my matchup list.
If the season event is supposed to be a more prestigious event, why shouldn't it be harder for lower tier people to do well? And it'd create a much needed separation, because for people trying to do well in the more prestigious season ladder, you'd have to keep your MMR and not tank, which means your PvP rating is likely lower, so a lower tier player with a low MMR would have a better chance at winning the actual tournaments while the higher tier players battle for the season rewards. Of course, I am assuming the season rewards are substantial. If they're not, then I don't really care.0 -
Great, another event IceIX can let us down in. Time to pull your finger out :-p
Just kidding........not really0 -
Also, how does tanking affect this? Does it encourage/discourage it more? Are my nipples supposed to be green?0

based off of the awards that iceIX mentioned, seems like this is just another minor carrot to incentivize people to play tournaments that they wouldn't have otherwise: I doubt we're getting a huge 5k hp reward for first (although I would probably expect 1-2k hp).0 -

wait so MMR isn't volatile, but the only way to win tournaments is to have a low MMR, which you wouldnt have because of all the people you beat to win the tournament (IF MMR isnt volatile, that is)
you're drunk phantron0 -

Only if they were bitten by a radioactive spider. But you really should have waited for the newer genetically engineered models. You are 3 times as likely to develop super powers from those.
It's still a 3% chance.0 -
Any chance we can know when this will be implemented? Beginning of may?0
