Rank you mean? Yeah, the population will just decrease every FtN.
Just increasing the supposed free to pay gap that perblue cares so much about or so I thought not even certain anymore on that
I mean… should I care? When the team starts to cope with the dwindling playerbase, it will already be too late. So just raise the requirement to infinity while not adding another sources of diamonds I guess

Yeah but Polaris preached about newer servers keeping the gap small hence why they get such bad deals
Technically the gap is smaller, but the way the team induces diamond expenditure is awful…
- PB Team: You need to spend 100 Diamonds every day for Prize Wall Tokens
- Also PB Team: You need to spend 12000 Diamonds every 3 weeks on Fortify the Network

Frankly, the rewards in this contest are not that good, except the mod upgrades, exp bottles and badge booster crates
I will be satisfied reaching the 3rd progress prize as I don’t feel motivated reaching all
I guess that’s the perk of having not-so-good rewards offered
P/s: hero and red skill chips are situational as it depends on whether or not a player use them so it doesn’t really count as a motivation
I´d rather say we should discuss limiting the rewards to only 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th+ as… the differentiation beyond that makes hardly any sense.
Besides that, I remember how Polaris was talking like “We want to discourage hoarding” and all that jazz, but FtN is the contest that can´t be done without hoarding at all (unless you spend a ton, which I assume is what the team wants?)
Also, it´s the only contest staying to this day that has the criteria based on “Spend X”, “Spend Y” instead of “Earn X”, “Earn Y” as like every other contest. If we had Earn 2000 diamonds and like… Earn 40000 stamina, I am pretty sure everyone will be happier.
You can still “earn” stamina with the deals the same way you can with diamonds, however it discourages hoarding (unless it is preferred) @Loutre.

can we add a ‘Yes, but…’
i welcome the chance to spend my stuff for rewards i wouldn’t otherwise gain, but I think the progress tiers should be a lot easier to reach.

these are the point-scoring system on FTN in Server 14 since the 7-day contest began on July
as we can see above, the number of Diamonds and Stamina needed increases significantly every FTN. I think the numbers on other servers also increases similarly with Server 14
it’s getting more and more difficult to earn 1M points if the numbers keep increasing
if PB says that the players are having more diamonds and stamina refills in their inventory nowadays, I believe it’s because the amount needed for FTN keep increasing so that players need to hoard more and more everyday, but this doesn’t mean the game economy is good, people are struggling to gather resources everyday, something need to change here

very right, the game economy only moves because the requirement moves…
and once it becomes unbearable, most will just not reach 1M at all

let me try another breakdown
in server 14, we need 128K stamina over 6 days, thats over 21K stamina per day
personally i think buying stamina with diamond 6x per day is still worth, that amounts to around 4.5K per day. add free stamina 3 x 1.45K and stamina regen, the total is only around 9K per day
(note that the calculation is based on server 14 numbers)
that 9K per day is less than half needed to reach 1M progress rewards. hoarding and buying stamina deals is the only way to get the contest rewards, and if the contest requirement keep increasing, hoarding will not be enough anymore

wrong calculations, you got 9 more days preceding the contest
so 128K stamina over 15 days… spending stamina as it comes is not worth it
So much for gold spending contest, to upgrade skills I need xp drinks to level up the hero first.
Triple ports for Xp drinks.
Enhancements, badges, …
I’ve already gotten nearly half a million contest points just from Arena fights – with a P0, level 50 Bolt.
And that, yes.
last week contest:
- win arena battle
- spend gold
this week guild contest:
- win arena battle
- spend gold
- spend stamina
next week contest:
- spend stamina
please consider more variety in the contest, these are to similar and repetitive

@Loutre could you ask the team if they could make sure the Guild contest with scoring based on guild influence and heist tokens can return?
That would be a nice different contest to do!
