End of campaign rewards sets after Summerset should be redone

Joy_Division · April 2018

The current reward of rings (gold for those who score high enough) wasn't very exciting or enticing. But, at least if I got lucky with RNG and got a gold Vicious Death or something, they could be sold for quite a lot of money.

With jewelry crafting coming out with Summerset, the exclusivity of getting a gold ring to a desirable set is going out the window as anyone with the chapter can get a trash blue ring and simply upgrade it (or buy from someone else who did and will sell it for a lot cheaper). Can the folks at ZOS please rethink the end of campaign rewards so those people who spend 30 days in a campaign can actually get something that's at least difficult to get elsewhere and thus the possibility to earn some decent gold?

I also think it's time to redo the "Rewards of the Worthy" mails. When these sets were new, some of them were desired. Now it's just vendor/decon trash. How about making it like the anniversary gift boxes where we get random stuff that sometimes is actually useful?

At the very least the end campaign rewards should have a chance to drop all ability altering weapons.

If they really want to let PvP players focus on PvP this would help. Maybe the chance for perfected one in the top tier.

Monster sets would also be an interesting addition, or gold items from the Golden Vendors loot table.

When back in time it had possibility to drop master weapons for top10 - it was more valuably to get into leaderboard.
Same goes current bgs rewards that no longer interest people.
Weekly reward for top10 again that drop perfected sets might make it interested for people to get into leaderboards. Might revitalize 7-day campaign with intense fight for leaderboard instead of being buff camp that dead most of time.

I think the amount that current ring drops will be devalued depends a lot on how readily available the improvement mats are for jewelry--while gold jewelry that people want will probably dip in price (like your Vicious Death example), some will likely go up as they are wanted for deconstruction (Gold Ring of the Swift, or stuff like that).

In general, I think RFTW should be looked at every 3-6 months, though, to keep the rewards fresh in general.

I just want some *** weapons in the mail once in a while. Trying to help a guildie with a bomber build but just getting the 2 swords needed for it would set her back 400k.

If only they cared even a little bit. They aren't changing the Golden, so I doubt they're changing Rewards...but at least our feedback is very important and we can rest assured that they are definitely looking into possibly looking into it.

It has been requested numerous times by myself and others to change the Rewards for the Worthy and End of Campaign rewards systems. They are an unrewarding chore to deal with, with the market utterly saturated beyond them having more than token value.

The leaderboard rewards system is awful, its basically who can zerglet longest

They should add a system that awards vMA style weapons, but away from AP. The system should be more based on individual skill, so the smaller the number of help, the more "points" it awards.

I.e. You kill someone solo, you get one "point" after that it starts decreasing exponentially per person, since it takes less and less skill to the point you can specialize, heal etc. And it'd function a little like AP where you can't gain points from repeat kills Its not based of damage, just interaction. It wouldn't have a specific counter, to discourage just plain farming and adding another currency to the game.

Agree completely, change the rewards up! Add something to them, do something! Would love to see rewards reworked.

The moment they add a dynamic low pop bonus it could be something worthwhile discussing. As it is now, PC EU, yellow morning zergs rule both cyrodiil shards and I dont see why they should be rewarded for it. Ruins any group play long time before season ends. Cyrodiil Vivec now is only filled with hamsters using towers as hamster wheels thinking they AvA.
Before zeni manage to do something about these issues its a big no go for me

Also add a small % chance to get better rewards depending on pvp level. At the moment there is no incentive to level up pvp levels except to get skill points ( The health increase for emp faction is meh).

The guys and gals and others who got to grand overlord should get some small reward.

BohnT · April 2018

I really don't think we need those ability altering weapons.
Most people who play PvP and get the rewards have their builds and don't need other sets as a reward. I just don't see the point to be rewarded with things you will never use

Either give us money or alloys, dreugh wax, flowers etc.
IE things that i actually use to keep on playing pvp and no i don't need Sieges i have enough AP to buy them for the next 300 years.

This, plus they could give vouchers as part of such grab-bags to be used at the Cyrodiil vendors so people could choose the type of reward box they want; also, add other vendor boxes like crafting mats for 20+ of something and a temper (with a chance for a gold temper) or recipe or AvA motif. The vouchers could be a currency that doesn't clog the inventory or at least stack. The kicker is that the Undaunted/Mages Guild/Fighter's Guild/etc. quartermaster would also take the vouchers for reward boxes, but the costs for spending PvP vouchers at such NPVs would be super sky high.

You would still have to run dungeons and trials for keys and head-piece drops, but could get things like some zone set pieces or dungeon pieces from the boxes along with a chance at a relevant motif. Using them for PvE stuff wouldn't be economical for players except those who get at least 100-150+ RFTW per week, week in and week out, but for those who do it would give something else to grab for personal use or for sale. A mirror system could be set-up for PvE players who have an unsalable mountain of keys, where they could blow a massive amount of them on some PvP boxes but would mostly be better of using them at the PvE vendors.

This way, excessive stacks of PvE or PvP rewards can technically have more spending options but the best investment for the average player is just to go do the activity dropping the currency for the desired reward.

As for end of campaign rewards, they could be made seasonal: "For the next six weeks earn X, Y, and Z sets for End of Campaign Rewards!" Then it moves on to something else. Higher reward = more rare pieces. You might not see those sets again for 6 months to a year. Also, for faction loyalty, this could be chained with the next campaign (see here for a model of such chaining using AP bonus as a reward), especially if higher tiers were added.

I can agree to this. Anniversary gift boxes have been pretty useful for me so far, since I craft many things. Rewards of the worthy is just decon trash right now. I would like to maybe get temps/rosin/wax out of them tbh. A gift that keeps on giving.

Agrippa_Invisus · April 2018

The rewards for PVP shouldn't be a worthless chore to deal with just to access our mailboxes. That's what RFTW has turned into, especially for those of us with lots of play time.

PLEASE CHANGE REWARDS FOR THE WORTHY!

PLEASE!

The current system is a punishment, not a reward.

Vaoh · April 2018

Gold jewelry mats (and jewelry mats as a whole) are going to be very pricey for awhile. Your Gold VO rings will likely be cheaper to buy than if someone wanted to obtain them through upgrading blue/purple versions.

I totally agree that they should improve PvP campaign rewards and maybe even introduce new PvP sets, but if not, those Gold rings (based on set ofc) will still retain high value.
