I’m sorry but 1.7 mil as a reward is a joke. I’m sure it’s worse on older servers but 1.7 mil gets me to either use TWO skill points or craft ONE badge at level 230. That’s a joke. No wonder people are quiting in waves. Especially when it’s not time for a guild contest (every 3 weeks) and right after a FTN

This has to be the worst timing I have ever seen with absolutely horrible prizes. A guild contest 1 week early based on stamina after a FTN contest and level increase.
Let’s move on to the pathetic rewards…. 1.7m gold, which isn’t even enough to craft some of the badges needed at level 230. 20 mission speed ups, what’s the point? These stopped showing up in deals, and now we get the smallest amount possible as a reward. 15 red cosmetic crates that might give me 1 new cosmetic if I’m lucky, usually 10/10 are dupes. More diamond crates that will give me badges I needed when I started and outdated hero chips I don’t want.
Well done PB, if you’re trying to make everyone quit, you are on the right path.

Maybe it’s about time somebody who sets up the contest rewards should start playing the game. How’s that for an improvement?
400 memory tokens? I’ll go straight to the store after collecting and buy exactly nothing.
1,7million gold? I’ll go craft a few purple badges. That should help in preparation for the yellow rank.
Winnie chips? I’ve never ever bought a deal and don’t consider myself extremely lucky on prize wall but after maxing her red I’d still have 800 left
Another rotation to prepare for the upcoming merge, totally fine. Give a small in game announcement perhaps so people would have some understanding for it.
But a guild badge bit after FTN that included a level cap with outrageously bad rewards. Y’all want people to quit the game?

Another week, another disappointment.
Guild contests are one of my favourite parts of this game, but to compete for that ‘rewards’ is an absolute joke.
You are making a fool out of us PB.
And creating a negative environment in every guild chat every week.
I don’t know how many more weeks I can deal with this.

Recently it feels like that has been automated and someone forgot to set the „scale according to level“ option to yes.

All these horrible prizes are just becoming another bitter note in what is becoming the death of this game for so many players

Seems they’ve forgot we’re about to hit Yellow. I think the time we did our first reds has been a long time now.

You really want to loose all your players don’t you?! It’s no wonder that many people stop playing… It’s all about the money… Oh u don’t have any resources left anymore because we sucked u dry already? Why don’t you buy another stamina deal with 2200 stamina for 50 euro! Like seriously are you insane?! I’m sick and tired of this… I love the friends ive made in the game and those are the people that keep me going but I actually really want to leave too.

We’ve lost 3 guild contests due to delays or outright substitutions during the last year or so; maybe this is just to make up for one of those lost contests? (Well, probably not, but it’s still a thought.)
Almost 20M on server 2. Not completely pointless, but not worth getting excited over either.
On the plus side, as a guild contest, you’ll get all the progress rewards easily anyway and will be competing for rank rewards mostly with other guilds that are similarly depleted from the preceding FtN/cap-raise double whammy.
Yeah, the rewards are underwhelming, even for a guild contest. And apparently the badge booster crates, all 15 of them, have been permanently moved to the top progress tier for guild contests, which won’t make a difference for reasonably-active guilds but which may handicap smaller, less active guilds.
If heroes from the past two months are outdated, the game has much more serious problems than poorly-timed contests with subpar rewards…

Besides all the rants and complaints, I’d like to give some general constructive feedback to the person responsible for contests rewards.
Think about which emotional reaction you want your players to have when a new contest is announced.
- Joy, excitement, anticipation. Players being happy to compete and invest because of the awesome rewards they could get. Rewards that will help them progress and improve, things they aren’t able to get otherwise or that would be very expensive.
- Anger, frustration, feeling disrespected and punched in the gut. Rewards that they have in huge amount, the tiniest amount of desperately needed resources, things that feel like a drop in the ocean.
If you’re going for 2nd, you’re doing everything correctly. But then you could just stop doing updates and hiring new people too.
If you’d like to achieve 1st, you should really rethink contest rewards and their scaling.
I think what she meant isn’t that the hero is no longer useful but that people already have enough chips. A Chef-like situation that now happens quickly with most prizewall heroes.

Sorry but this isn’t even only about the contest anymore… This is the company as a whole! Not just the contests but all of it! Like the winter event where 90% of the playerbase can’t even get the rewards for! And who comes up with these crazy overpriced deals? I don’t think it’s just 1 person that decides all of this… I think it’s an entire team that decides this…

The rewards are horrible 
the only things I feel ok are 15 badge booster crates and 80 hero chips of Phil (because I use him)
Other than that, I don’t even want to try for this one. Guess I will tell my guild mates to stop trying for rank rewards as those are horrible as well
Great job, Perblue! Great job!

It´s indeed a way to Hades´ lair But yes, it seems like the team hates money. Winnie is the most unpopular prize wall hero to date. Rewards are negligible.
But I guess since people throw money at them during FtN, the guild contest and the other individual one can be even worse? Not that FtN is good now (and 99% due to the incoming merge… because someone could not close Servers 1, 21 and 23 from making accounts).

We will need to look into the Prize Wall for this as that isn’t intended to have an over amount of chips for heroes.

I did let the team know regarding the feedback on the contest.

They might mean Prize Wall gives enough chips to 6-star a hero. If you didn’t intend to work on that hero further than the quest within the prize wall, you don’t need the several hundred chips the Prize will gives extra (at least for that hero, there are mods uses)
I don’t think Prize Wall in combination with contest rewards even comes close to giving enough chips to max stars, mods and red skill and having some left afterwards.
Thanks! Hopefully it is as Numi says, so that they could improve after the merge happens (in one or two weeks?)

It isn´t meant for that, more so that because you give very little skill chips in Prize Wall “Grand Prize” in the early stages, you cannot effectively raise a hero´s Red Skill very far, thus you are left with many hero chips but next to none skill chips.
If there is anything to look into for the Prize Wall, I would just make Cosmetic Crate scaling on 10, 20 and 30 instead of 30, 60 (which only top whales reach) and 100 (where I don´t think anyone has ever been - if you have data of such, please, share).
Many would like to keep Prize Wall Tokens between Prize Walls as some heroes turned up pretty garbagey (looking at you, Winnie or Lilo), while some others are only decent-ish (Raya, Sisu) and others turn up rather OP (Bolt, Ariel, Zeus).
And I still think the crates (diamond, team, role, red skill, POSSIBLY ADDED megabit) should not scale from 1, but rather like… 6. I mean you give 1000+ crates in a 14-day trial event that is completed in max 1 day (well if we are lucky and it´s an easy one), yet reluctant to give similar 1000+ crates altogether in Prize Wall 
I can see why people may consider the team a bit scroogey at times, there just isn´t much of a balance in different modes. Some give more and some give nearly nothing.

It depends on whether we players use that hero or not. If we dont, we will just need enough hero chips to 6 star them
But if we do, consider we need 2k hero chips to max a red skill, the amount you guys offer are never gonna be enough.
So, if you guys want to fix something, pls fix that horrible cost of red skills!!!
Hero chips as rewards are hard to judge if they are too many or not as it vary from each player!
Please do not decrease hero chips grant in prize wall!!! At least not from tier 20 and below as we need at least that many to 6 star 1 hero

I still don´t know why early levels of red skills don´t cost 1 hero chip and 5 RS chips instead of 5 hero chips and 10 RS chips.
If it was like this:
lvl 2 - 1 HC, 5 RSC (same for 3-6)
lvl 7 - 2 HC, 7 RSC
lvl 12 - 3 HC, 9 RSC
it would be far less costly… @Loutre I do understand that you (well, not you, the team) don´t want players to have red skill maxed automatically… at the very same moment though you let enemies have their red skill maxed on many occasions so
