Ascended tournament Winner suggestions..

I suggested this to admin in private but putting it up here..now the top 3 in every arena wins stuff..so I basically suggested that the winner of an arena misses the next 3, runner up misses the next 2, and 3rd misses the next one.

Re: Ascended tournament Winner suggestions..

Sounds silly to me. It would make me not want to win. I take part in the arena to have fun and they are pretty much my only motivation for playing ascended right now.

I assume your point is to stop one person or one set of people dominating? Stopping people from taking part because they are good is silly. Try harder, improve your account, recruit people to help you.

If you want to play the next arena..then don't play to win. Or just remove the rewards. (Although I'd think people would object to that as first two arena winners got rewards). This is not an attack on individuals or alliances, it's all about balance.

Re: Ascended tournament Winner suggestions..

I don't see the same person winning every time. You do good one round, the next round could be completely different based on what happens. If someone is good enough that they can win multiple rounds in a row while people are gunning for them, they deserve to win then.

This suggestion is like rank 1 being put on vacation for 6 months because they were too good, so that the weaker people have a chance to catch up. If someone keeps appearing at rank 1, I'm sure something will happen to them to stop them from being there.

Removing the rewards is about the only suggestion that is reasonable, and even that would cause the arena to not necessarily be as active due to there being no reason to do so, though it wouldn't penalize people for doing well.

Re: Ascended tournament Winner suggestions..

Honestly ETL this is the saddest thing I believe I have ever seen come from you. Which is saying a lot from all of your previous posts.

It is so very sad people want to change the game when they just can't seem to find a way to win. I just hope your credit line isn't extended to the ascended realm anytime soon.

Re: Ascended tournament Winner suggestions..

if you're afraid someone will win continuously just tag team with a mate and bring them down when they enter the arena.

That would be most logical, and especiallly with the varrying starting times for each event.

There is but 1 thing from the rewards I am less fond off, and that is the demis which provide extra turn generation. These are hefty rewards which annually gives a bonus unlike any other.
And with the way the balancing works with levels vs extra planets ... its a tad unreasonable.

But thats just my thoughts on it.

From ETLs suggestion I can think of one slight adaption which might be more beneficial.... not allowing the same person to win twice in a row. But should be allowed to enter and become rank 2 or lower. This to prevent a team stacking up the most powerfull demis on 1 person.

Jim talks to everyone about tag teaming, the dirty girl.

Could be interesting if it made it if you won last round, you can't win this round. If you did make it to top 2, it would force the other person to knock you out within 2 days, or it's considered a tie and both people get 2nd. I don't necessarily think the person should automatically win 1st, just that the one who hasn't previously won can't get knocked out and the one who previously won has to "defend their title".
