Contest Feedback 02-14-18 - “VALENTINE'S CONTEST: Precarious Love. Pt1.”

[Attabrain_Zee]

My main problem with "level up" contests is that leveling gives you nothing. All points come from gold. Example:

Bringing a hero from level 1 white to level 140 C+2 will get you:

• Level up hero: 140 * 100 = 14,000
• Gain hero skill levels: 10 * (140 * 2 + 120 + 100) (assuming no orange) = 5,000
• Promote hero: 22 * 1000 = 22,000

Total: 41,000 points. It takes a ton of stamina to promote that much, and a lot of diamonds to get that many skill points, and it only gets you half way to the second reward. You can get the same number of points with 4.1 million gold, which isn't very much these days.

If you want these contests to be about leveling up heroes, you should be giving 5x or 10x as many points for those tasks.

This contest has limited participation because of the points categories. I prefer to promote, evolve, and lvl up my heroes when it makes good practical sense for me to do so and as far as spending gold goes we just had a cap raise not to long ago and I've just about finished spending all my gold enchanting and skilling up my heroes on s10 to lvl 125 and I'm a VIP lvl 15 that quite usually does every last daily activity including more than my fair share of crypt to account for the amount of gold I get. I'm not one of those players that has a huge horde of gold lying around so this contest is for them and also still growing players who have stars to chase left and promoting to do still.
I would have preferred a scraps/enchanting/diamonds contest for a special event you could have added these point categories to it with modifications for point scaling if you really wanted to boost growing players and those with stockpiles of gold just waiting for such a contest.
In short: I'm disappointed at the contest categories for points but since it's just another optional contest I'll just opt myself out of it, no worries of butthurt either. Idc much for seasonal skins, if the prizes had been in Burned One soul stones I would have been a little butthurt tho lol

Would like to have another chance to move around runes with no charge.

Firstly I really think an additional question should be added to all surveys to ask about tier prizes (ie are they good, ok or bad considering effort required) and most questions wording could be improved to make them clearer.

Secondly. The tier prizes look reasonable especially when compaired to previous contest. I expect weekend contests to have better prizes to take into account time and effort folks need to put in.

So what is good about the tier prizes?
- there are 5 prizes per tier (not 4 like last)
- It looks like more thought went into what is on each tier eg 100 skill points on first tier (given type of contest.
- Bazaar tokens in each tier. These are useful to all players
- Diamonds on some tiers. Useful
- shrine on top tier
- stamina cost reset. Most useful weirdly to low vip players and the big spenders
- shop resets

Whats not so good
- I would normally moan about enchant stones and ore but as prizes on this contest type they make sense.
- raid tickets and purple and orange chests are also fine for a change as its a 1 day contest so less effort required than a weekend.

I will not yet comment on points required to complete all tiers as will wait till contest starts so i get a feel for the challenge. I do know my main with its smaug like hoard will be fine. But am interested how my free to play alt gets on.

Stop trying to push dragonlady , let her die in peace , stop with the stupid skins plus we should be about to sell those redonkeyilous skins

[KING_DDJ]

This contest is easy, all you need to do is spend gold

I have 180mill worth of ore saved so its easy for me at least to just open chest and collect progress but if you cant complete this contest your not saving enough

Another contest i dont have to calculate points but i might just do it for the sake of others that dont like numbers.

[Slinky]

These contests are more boring than the usual boring weekend contests.
Can’t you guys think of new activities for us?
How about a guild contest?

[flycloud]

The items are not easy to get. We have to spend to many diamonds to get them. Besides, it is impossible to catach on if you don't play the game for a while!

@DSKenshirou_X

We have consistently expressed displeasure with the points awarded for leveling, evolving, skilling, etc. I'm not sure what magic you think happens here but it's way off.

I'll post tomorrow but I guarantee these categories will amount to less than 5% of points awarded.

To make it interesting, I'd recommend the following:

Level up - 1000
Promote - 25000
Evolve - 250000
Gain hero skill levels - 250

Your alternative should be to just eliminate them if you're unwilling to change the point structure.

[DSKenshirou_X]

Thanks Big_Dog_II. I'll forward your suggestion to the team managing this contest to review.

[Big_Dog_II]

If more details are required as to why the points for those categories should be higher, please let me know.

[Lady_Farter]

I have posted re prizes elsewhere.They are ok.

Regarding points and catogories. This is just a gold spend contest which others have explained well above. Gold spend is fine for mature accounts. But less good for newer accounts. The points on offer for lvl up, promote, gain skill lvl and especially evolve are so low as to be irrelevant This is a shame as not only would it allow different player types a chance it would add strategy. And therefore make contest more fun.

Lastly the jumps between tiers make no sense to me it should get progressively harder not vary.

[Leader_BDChef]

I think overall the contest is good. However, for someone at my level (max) as I’m sure many are, gold is an easy and very abundant commodity. I would value higher the leveling, promoting, enhancing, and upgrading of characters. This requires me to play much more strategically daily. With gold, I am able to dump anywhere from 50 to 200 million coins and it’s tedious. Maybe have a 100 chest button on silver chests as well. Thank you

[Lama_Krugbrecher_II]

Sorry but to much for a 24 hours Event

[Troldmand_Kutem]

I don't Really see thee thee'm

[Chillo_the_Great]

These contests are getting boring and even more out of reach for someone who just plays for fun and doesn’t spend a fortune on the game

[wanted_II]

I love this game ️ These contests are more boring than the usual boring weekend contests.
Can’t you guys think of new activities for us?
How abo

[Marshall_Gawain_II]

These point totals are sheer lunacy. The rewards would be fine for a mid-week one day contest if the point totals weren’t just ridiculous. Please have someone actually do the math before posting these.

[Knight_Arthur]

Contest is fine. The players that complain can't reached the tier prizes, that's all there is to it.

[Bravo_Fakir]

I'd like to see another silver chest buy option. Maybe 500 chest at one time? Or even a thousand? It's so time consuming
