Emperorship Changes in Summerset

Meetre

What if emp was awarded based on max ap during the last rolling 48 hour time period (48 just a thought). When emp keeps are taken, the player with the most ap earned in the last 48 hours is emp. stops one person from running away with ap at the start and making it impossible for others to catch up, but doesn't lock anyone out of getting it if they put in the time for a few days?

Simply stop AP gain for a sitting Emperor. Watch it become a hot potato

The PS4 achievement should be modified. Make it max PVP level, thats no cakewalk.

I won’t hold my breath though. Console quality of life updates are literally rarer than unicorns in this game.

I'm an emp...and if something should be changed that should be the passives reversed for PvE that 1% on all stats ulti gain etc.

Why?
Because they had the ability to earn it and someone else didn't? The idea of "everyone gets a turn" is stupid and makes no sense.
This current system isn't good, but why don't we think of a better system rather than just penalise everyone good at the current system.
Or as I keep saying, remove everything other than the in campaign bonuses so less people feel they "need" to be emperor for achievements, dyes, trophies etc.

who cares?
during prime time the EU-server is down, so no need to worry who, why and how one will be emperor

No. This comes up often and I always feel the same, if someone is good enough or dedicated enough to fight for the top they shouldn't then be relegated to the bottom because they ranked that high.

Normally this desire always boils down to people who can't rank getting annoyed with others who can constantly getting crowned.

I am open for a new system over all which isn't entirely dependent on AP rankings, but I don't think we should be penalising dedicated, skilled and committed players from being Emperor.

How is this any different than any "Other" in game collectible though! You can only get them once! Why not this one?

I've always wanted to be Emp, but ive resigned the fact it will never happen, cause man its a lot of work. I do have two suggestions though that may level the playing field a bit.


1, make a 24 0r 48 hour campaign. Give us job jockies a chance to decide to dedicate a weekend and make a strong run at emp. Of course rewards would not be as good at the end, and it could rotate to allow one during the week too (Not everyone has weekends off), but hey its a way for a casual PvPer to have a chance. I doubt the dedicated Vivec/Shor groups would abandon their campaigns for a single day one so perhaps we'd see a larger sampling of unique players.

2, maybe apply some sort of bonus like the enlightened one we get each day to AP gain. Maybe like, the first 100k is earned double quick, or a 2 hour AP buff at initial log in, something. This would make long burn runs less profitable and short daily ones more so. Would this solve the 20 hour zerg emp issue or give the super casual player a strong shot at emp? No, but at least it would give the midrange guys that are close a bit of a boost.

Again, just spitballing here, but it seems these ideas could be worked into regular play with minimal effort and allow more enjoyment as a whole from the population.
