James13 said: I don't see this doing anything other than widening a reward gap by providing additional resources to those who already get most of them.If you were going to argue some seasonal rankings at the individual level instead, maybe there might be some merit, but even then it's still effectively doubling up rewards for those who already topped them earlier in order to be there in the first place.Individual there could be more movement. Coalitions I don't think there's really much.
Larz70 said: I would love to have seasons also but unfortunately, the data I have collected on Coalition Events would disagree with this.For the last 10 events, I have been capturing coalition scores and I noticed that in the majority of the events, the top 10 coalitions end up winning the top 10 rewards. There was one event, HoR, where GratefulDead and Deadapult broke into the top 10 but they came in 9th and 10th respectively. GoblinPile and SWWAgain "boycotted" the event and played progression or more if they want to. Even when the top 10 coalitions are sandbagging, they still manage to dominate, how much more when they are focused?Conclusion, if the top 10 are consistently nabbing top 10 events, it follows that you will see the same 10 coalitions in the Seasonal Rankings top 10.I also like the idea that of searching coalitions based on Seasonal Scores, but the more I think of this, the more I think it's bad for the game. I agree that we need to give players a better way to search for coalitions to join in the game, but if they start finding coalitions in the top 51-250 with 1-5 open spaces, this will be exploited big time. It will open up a way for hundreds of players who really have no intention of playing that weekend but want to grab coalition rewards. It sounds selfish of me, but I'm not that kind of person because I used to run a coalition where I plan on competing hard and I tell my family and friends come join even if you're not playing cause I can get you some runes and crystals for free! But I don't like the game to make it easy for randoms to get free loot and make this one of the top tips/strategies to get easy rewards. I mean I would still invite random strangers to join my old coalition and not force them to play (disclaimer, I play for a top 10 coalition now), I just don't want the game to actually make it a thing ..... hope I'm making sense.So really, I would love this but I hope you also see that over the long term it won't work......I'm excited for something though, Duel Decks! Imagine no coalitions and more than half the participants get the best loot. I mean that's better than 20 people in the top 2 coalition getting the best rewards right? Kudos for Oktagon for coming up with this (and doing a beta to boot!), I hope we all get a chance to test that and give a lot of great feedback to make it a success.
Sarahschmara said: If the top ten didn’t consistently over-achieve then they would be replaced fairly quickly. They work very hard to stay on top. That said, I’d like to be able to scroll further, if not in the game then perhaps a more complete rankings could be displayed on the forum? That could liven up the coalitions subsection a bit.
