@Polaris I believe an explanation is owed to the community on the contest design this weekend.
I’d like to take some time to spark a constructive discussion on the decisions made for this contest; as you’ve seen there is a great deal of contention and frustration around the criteria for this contest.
A few points to note:
- There has been a distinct lack of deals for diamond crates lately in the events tab, in-game.
- Contest rewards have not included any/many crates for the player base lately asside from the whale-level rewards, if at all.
- City watch difficulty scaling changes lately have made it nearly impossible to get the maximum points for each of the featured heroes this contest, if you can even complete all 15 on normal mode, per day, without any of them dying, that is.
- Including Arena wins in point scoring, just adds salt to the wounds, as some players are unable to compete in their respective arena’s due to massive or unrealistic spread of other players’ power levels, once ranked and unable to attack anyone but those above them.
4a. Piggy-backing off of point 4, some players in arena have taken to "dropping defense” to allow for others to gain points within Arena, which is a highly unfortunate side-effect of this contest, and I’m assuming an unintended consequence of poor planning on perblue’s part.
This is a highly difficult contest for any player to compete in, Whale or otherwise, including personal progression.
As you’ve seen already, there is a massive outcry from the community regarding this and many players have reached their last straw and will be, or have already quit the game due to these types of decisions.
Thank you
