These might be a HUGE step in the right direction, but you're still WAY below anything considered reasonable!
First, the time in the academy is too short for your "Rookie" event to even matter. So there is no point in even running this event. Your time would be better spent cutting your event staff in have and simply hiring more people in development to make new content for events, like addon's to maps or unique equipment.
Second, your first 3 battle win wp doubled are pennies and only rewards the no-lifers who can play 3+ games daily. This is not a SP event. This is a daily incentive program. Again, pretty much worthless. Also what about getting thrown into a battle that's about to end and your side wins? So that's 0wp doubled gives you......0sp!
Third.......Another w/l ratio based event? With proto gear too? So the protostompers do their thing all week and then get rewarded with more gear so they can keep doing it? Someone must have thought really hard about that one. And what happens when your dumped into a battle already lost? Higher w/l rates for rewards and make the rules so it's even harder.....done good on that one. Was this supposed to stroke the "egos" of the vets still around? Cause it's looking like that to me. The ONLY good thing about this event is that the protostompers should be occupied elsewhere for at least a few hours making the instant battles playable again.
Winning doesn't matter. Anyone who says that they are a better team than their opponents because they "won", but had only 4 clones to their opponents 80+, or their opponents had more than double the amount of wp, or both, is ignorant. Making events based upon that is also ignorant. War isn't about who wins what battle but who is left standing at the end. AND as mercs we get paid for what we DO and not whether some arbitrary goal was reached. If I get hired to fight for someone it's because they know I can bring a 2000wp bump to their team and still listen to orders. If everyone else has their head between their knees and I still preform, why should I be penalized? So why has ANY event been based off w/l ratio and not on wp? Are they not a gauge as to how much YOU contributed to the team and would thus be a MUCH better way to reward playing well instead of rewarding something that YOU don't have any control over? If you want to encourage squad play then can't you give a bonus for your squad's average wp total? And then if you are still bent on rewarding winners you could add an additional bonus on top of all that. Come on CCP! I won't wait forever for you to get your act together.
Another month of horrid events. Here's hoping that 1.5 can make up for it. |
