Hey Everyone, been a minute since I have made a forum post so don't expect any colorful letters or fancy pictures. I am here on a mission. I'll just be getting to the point, this PVP event sucks. It is a terrible event and I honestly have no idea how it even made it into the game. First. this event sucked since the announcement of it, all you had to do was scroll down a little bit on the forum to see the GOD AWFUL avatars. I don't know who's idea it was to make 4 sets of avatars and just make it RESKINS of one another but if you know anything at all RESKINS IS THE MOST LAZY WAY OF DEVELOPING EVER. There is no excuse to such laziness. Second. Why would you make it a collection PVP event again?? Every time you speak do this you get complaints because HARDLY ANYONE DOES PVP anymore! Just play your own game and try faming somebody, hell just try talking about pvp and you will see how much of a joke you have turned it into. You have to collect a total of 400 swords to get 1 head, yes that doesn't sound to bad... UNTIL YOU HAVE TO SPEND YOUR ENTIRE DATE TIME TRYING TO FIND 1 PERSON WITH A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SWORDS so now you have to either write down the long dramatic name and start a new date or hope you get lucky when you back out to get a new date started just to restart the same process. So now it takes forever to get the first 5 heads for the event. Then to make it better on top of that the very next tier is 20 HEADS! Why such a insane jump from 5 to 20?? It's like yall refuse to listen to feed back from any event.(I'll get to this in a minute) Third. Leaderboards... yall are lucky that I can't bypass because I have never in my years of playing games, and 8 on this game have i EVER seen such a disrespectful leaderboard as this hunts. Non-stop players get cats, decor boxes, 2 sets of avis, top 10 999, stat item, DNS, maps, ect. Pvp players: a crappy 1.4mcs item, 500 useless shields to spend on a reskined avi, and 1 decor box.... IN A PVP BASED EVENT THE NON-PVP PLAYERS GET MORE THAN THE PVP PLAYERS! You have done nothing but slapped those who actively tried in this crappy event in the face! Nothing to show your triumph over other players! Nothing but a crappy cake! And finally fourth. I know this has been a problem since pimd has came out, I'm not sure about KaW or GaW or any of the other games that yall have brought out... But yall have some of the worst player service I have ever experienced. Instead of listening to the players and having even a slight conversation with your players (which is important to understanding your game since they play it every single day pretty much all day) you say 1 thing then close the ticket as quickly as you can so you dont have to deal with it anymore. You didn't think it was enough when you got rid of y'alls support email?? To have people send you a page long report of something currently wrong with the game, and is obviously showing signs of disappointment and ect. Yoh really think the best thing to do is just send a reply saying "thanks for your input!"??? No! That is so disrespectful! We give younkur money, our time, we are the ones who tell others about your games, we are the ones supporting yall. It isn't going to kill y'all to try and talk for 30s just to answer a question or 2. Or to reassure players, or to show a general appreciation for your players. I am done with my rant. Sincerely, The Big Salt.
I agree with the fact that the rewards for pvp players are not worth it and also the head token collection is difficult.
The PvP story quest is simply a side quest. There are still the two party drop collecting quests so, if anything, the PvP story quest is a bonus. You are not required to farm for the swords. ATA is not making you; they simply offered an additional story quest, which I think was a nice attempt to include the PvP community. I do agree that the PvP leaderboard rewards are crap and I am quite disappointed because I think it's actually much harder to earn 400 swords to make heads over and over than it is to hit a cat party but it is what it is.
The whole forum promoted the pvp aspect so not very side questy in my opinion. Besides, just because it may be a side quest doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort ?
