Re: Gamewhore Competition

I kinda feel like we have enough event tokens already. Having more just makes it even more unreasonable to try to unlock all of them. Maybe people who have them all could just be given credits instead - you could work out a reasonable exchange rate, like 50k replacing each token prize.

Credits hold practically no value anymore. If we're doing a lot of events that means a lot of opportunities for people to obtain tokens. As of right now we're doing a lot.

Maybe not to you or a couple dozen older players, sure, but credits are still a serious prize for 99% of the active member population, which is probably why tournaments still give them out. And IMO events should be targeting the people who don't hang out as much (as opposed to the users who play or talk about FFR all the time and already have everything) to get them more into the community.

Absolutely! It's great to have opportunities for people to obtain tokens. I just don't want it to get to the point where you'd have to be one of the few most talented users who can win events one after the other in order to get all the event tokens.

I'll join! I'm a bit rusty in FFR, but I'd like to see how I do in this...

Although, people who have all of the event/support tokens most likely already have this large amount of credits, where them getting any more doesn't really do much. I think that is what the meat of this really is, of course tons of people still need credits, but replacing event tokens for credits for those that have them all, probably wouldn't lead to much more incentive.

Also, events should really take both levels of players into consideration. Obviously getting newer players more involved into the community is great, but you cannot forget that FFR should also continue to peak the interests of the players who've done almost everything. Just as we want to gain new frequent members in our community, we don't want to lose members we already have if we can help it. Running events of many different types and skill sets (where some are more involved with the FFR engine than others) will prove to keep hopefully everyone invested.

It's also the reason why more event tokens were suggested, so that there is more incentive for those who have unlocked everything to keep going. The way it is now, a person can get all the event tokens usually by pulling a single first place, or placing really well in a tournament. Of course not everyone can do that, but they can also build them up over time by participating in several events and placing. They are merely trophies and rewards for doing good in an event, so why not have a few more of them.

Re: Gamewhore Competition

I know you probably can't do this but if you could offer skill token(s) for top prizes or even just top prize I'd do this....there are some tokens I literally have a 0% chance of getting unless I won them. Honestly I don't see why you can't do this because this competition is technically skill based, not to mention very difficult to come in first. If someones gonna suffer for a day they should be rewarded with something great (for me it would be a skill token). Just my 2 cents.

Re: Gamewhore Competition

I already said we can't offer skill tokens. The point of skill tokens is that you have to have a certain skill to obtain them, it wouldn't be fair to the people who tried like crazy to get something like St. Scarhand.

I like that you're an event manager or whatever now

I'm glad people feel I'm doing a decent job so far! Trying my best to help in making things fun around here, working on some event related stuff right now actually.

Re: Gamewhore Competition

Also, I'm gonna go ahead and actually give some input on this event in particular. A competition like this is a LOT. I saw some stuff at the top of this page about credits not being a big deal or whatever, but I'm being lazy and not reading exactly what that's about. I'm fine with only giving out one or two tokens I guess, but I really think that the people doing this should get a lot more credits because of how exhausting it's going to be to get to the top for this challenge.

What song would get you more points in the long run as well?
EHHS or Vs Boss Battle?

Re: Gamewhore Competition

boss battle. It has less idle time, and it's shorter.
