^ nah that’s not fair ... everyone will be judged on equal footing just there will be checks in place to ensure “hogging” doesn’t happen

I would like to see the top players, who already have piles of great gear, volunteer to pass on the rewards to give newer players a chance at it. I for one, although far from top tier, have plenty of resources to get whatever gear I want, and therefore voluntarily pass on the slim chance that I qualify for rewards.

Datthaw

I will take anyone's rewards they dont want. I haven't farmed IC in forever and I'm broke as nb's cloak.

Gederic

I have to agree. I’d prefer it if newer people got it. I certainly don’t need it and I think it would do the campaign better and get new people invested.
I think I might try and think of some cool gifts to send out on my own to players on EP and the opposing factions as well. It is Christmas after all

Here's the thing though. Most of us here would prefer to see newer people encouraged to play. We need to recruit those newer people. Most of the people playing will be us otherwise.

Gederic

That’s why we’ve advertised in various zones and have been pug wrangling in chat. Haven’t run a pug group in a long time but for the event we are considering it.

An_An

Do we have any streamers here ? Would be good for the event/campaign if someone streams it during peak times.

Datthaw

Someone contact sypherpk and tell him it's time to get his merry band or subs into kyne for the event

I think Sypher is too big for us now that he is a pro Fortnite streamer.

kit_sune

I would like to not be excluded I have 80k gold and no mats. So how about I'm just given a guaranteed 1,000,000 gold

Gederic

I would like for you to be sacrificed to the PvP Blood Gods. But we all can’t get what we want.

I would also like to be excluded from rewards, but I would like mine to go to the person telling that new person they can't leave until they vet out.

Then the rewards would end up being mine

But seriously, I'll pass on rewards aswell. I know da wae to git rich fast

I really like the idea of trying to push the rewards to newer players. The current reward structure really isn't conducive to that though, as newer players probably aren't going to be the ones towards the top of the daily leaderboards. If anything, the fact that you need to be at the top of the leaderboards to gain rewards might push players away from active participation if they feel like they don't even have a chance to win anything. I almost wonder if just choosing winners at random would provide better incentive for new players, as they'd know that as long as they are participating they have a chance to win something. The big problem then is figuring out how you can actually track everybody who was playing.

One idea I had is to create some sort of "check-in" system in the Discord, where players could "check-in" on any given day by posting a screenshot of them at an objective or something. Then once the winning alliance is determined, prizes can be distributed randomly among every member of that alliance who checked in. This, of course, has it's own set of problems. It may still exclude players who don't want to use Discord. But at least in this instance, players who end up excluded would be doing so by choice, as I can't think of a reason why somebody who can play ESO on PC wouldn't be able to use Discord. The other problem with this check-in system is that it creates a way for people to "game" the system by going into Kyne, taking and posting a screenshot, then immediately leaving Cyrodiil, giving them a chance to win a reward without ever actually participating in the event. One way around this would be to require a minimum amount of AP gained to be considered for a reward, but I'm not really sure of a good way to track that on a daily basis without requiring participants to put in extra work on their own. And between that and the fact that some people probably won't want to use the Discord, you may end up with too few people using the check-in system for it to actually be effective in distributing rewards to new players.

An easier alternative method would be to just use a random number generator to randomly select players from the top 100 leaderboard. It would still exclude the lowest-earning players, but would at least distribute prizes further down from the top 10-20 players.

I don't know, I'm just kind of spit-balling here. Does anybody else have any thoughts on how we could better distribute rewards to newer players?

kijima

With less than 30 minutes to go, EP don't get to crown an emp, looks like they came last too...

On the even brighter side, AD gets the chocolates too. =D

MajBludd

What's to stop guilds from vet servers to roll lowbies and roll the camp for the rewards?

Random distribution would be the easiest way to do it. Plus how pumped would a new player who might not even know we are doing this gets like 10k and some hakeijos in the mail with like "merry christmas" or something

What's Fortnite? Do they know they spelled it incorrectly?

What's the best way to grind CP?

Gederic

Alikr dolmens probably are the most effective. But if you don’t want your brain to actually melt then consider other things.

I enjoyed grinding CP from doing random battlegrounds, it gave some nice rewards and it was so much more enjoyable than grinding the conventional way (dungeons, dolmens, grinding random mobs..etc). Also the random queues really gives some nice xp on your first win of the day or second place finish of the day. After that the xp isn't has much.

Mjollo

I think randomly choosing people from the top 100 of each alliance is the most efficient way because it means you have to actually gain some amount of ap to prove you are participating but it also means that you dont have to play 24/7 to increase you chances of getting a shot at the rewards.

I’m good with it as long as An-An and the rest of you guys don’t mind. Might need to get a screenshot of the entire leaderboard each day though so you can confirm that people were actually playing that day by comparing their AP to the AP they had the previous day.

I'd like to 3rd the motion of awarding prizes to random people in the top 100. You are going to do 10 random people in the top 100, though, right? Not just all to 1 person for the day? You could still do the tiered system you had where the highest random person gets the most, then on down...

Aren't you already max cp? I don't play a whole lot, and spend a good chunk of time in Cyrodiil when I do, and I'm at CP731 without grinding...

Adenoma

Some of us don't get banned, we're lucky enough to just get suspensions.

I know it's controversial, but I think in the spirit of Christmas we should only siege with ice trebs. To be totally transparent, I don't know their damage versus walls compared to stone/fire.

I want to get 1 of my other accounts more CP. It's only at 236 or something like that.

An_An

Seems like there is a motion to randomize rewards in the top 100 of players of the winning alliance for that day.
Anyone opposes this ?

Keep in mind that if we do randomize the rewards (tiered as they may be),you will need to trust the person doing the randomizing. (It will take a person to use the random number generator.)
