Other than that, rewards are the same tier for tier compared to Predator and Prey, with 500 extra Iso-8 for 1-5 in the newest Tournament. I get that you might not like that we shifted a cover over, but I'm honestly not sure where the thought of "gutting" comes from. The Alliance rewards are (except for the one cover shift) a bonus on top of current rewards.

The Alliance rewards are (except for the one cover shift) a bonus on top of current rewards. The lack of a 50hp 500 progression award and blue BP from ranks 2-5 clearly show that you shifted important awards from the current prize structure to alliance awards. If you wanted it to be a bonus on top of existing awards, keeping the original prize structure while giving out events tokens + iso for alliance placement would have been a much better way to keep the important prizes you give out (3* covers/hp) to a minimum without forcing alliances onto us in this fashion.

Alliances up to 2500 gets 50 HP, so let's say 5 guys per alliance that's 12500 people, and I guess it's fair to say that we didn't have 12500 people hitting a rating of 500 before (there are some brackets I'm in where 500 would almost be enough for top 10).

Appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!

The 3* covers were at 1200 previously.

I've been able to hit 1100 in pvp with effort and luck 1200 was just not possible.
