Race and Season Feedback - Race Reward Purchases Instead of Progression - Forum

I'm reposting here. This is a more relevant forum. " What if instead of accumulating points to get unique rewards we could save up reward points to purchase the unique rewards we want at a set price! Better rewards would be worth more points obviously. And you could only purchase 1 of each reward per account(and/or IP address) Example with last season's rewards: Kaom's Sign, Cost: 8 points Storm Cloud, Cost: 13 points Fairgrave's Tricorn, Cost: 22 points Moonstone Ring, Cost: 35 points Gifts From Above, Cost: 50 points Divination Distillate, Cost: 67 points Le Heup of All, Cost: 88 points Queen's Decree, Cost: 115 points Perandus Signet, Cost: 200 points Auxium, Cost: 375 points This would allow players who don't race in 80%+ of all races to get some of the better rewards! Top players are already rewarded substantially by getting more points and the unique Demigod items. Why should they also have exclusive access to the alt art Auxium for example?(In all 4 season I have raced in, only the handful of top players get the 1000 point reward item) I just want more of a reason to race. And Race Reward costs instead of accumulation would do it for me. Let GGG know if you are also in support of this!

Certainly the costs would have to be equal or greater than the current. Auxium for 1000 or more, not 375. Character archive: view-thread/963707 HC: 96 RIP SC: 95 97 96 100 95 96 97 98 Settlers: 88(retired) 95 92(BPL) 94(Settlers GSF)	Posted by unsane on Jan 22, 2014, 4:55:01 PM Quote this Post

This would be okay if it didn't apply to the better high tier rewards. If you had a separate points you could spend how you choose then maybe. I don't think it would work well if you could get the end game uniques for even say 500 points.	Posted by terrex on Jan 22, 2014, 5:15:17 PM Quote this Post
I think the idea is fine if it costs 1.5x-2x. 2000pts over multiple seasons for Auxium seems ok. That's an enormous investment.

Maybe you should get a badge of justice for every race you enter, and you can turn in 20 of them for an Auxium. [quote="Hilbert"] CT should be around the art of PKing and not griefing lower levels. [/quote] http://www.twitch.tv/zoroxo123	Posted by ZoRoXo on Jan 23, 2014, 3:49:33 PM Quote this Post

It would be nice if you could save your points across multiple seasons. While the 1000 reward points one requires getting some wins, one could theoretically get the 600 point ones right by if they just got to level 10 in literally every event. I have no chance of getting 1,000 points, because I'm not a terribly good racer, but even if I was there is no way my ork schedule would let me participate in enough races in a season given their current times. If someone is consistently getting top 10 (overall) finishes but just can't make it to enough races, they should probably still have a shot at some of the higher season rewards, no? (I have no idea if there are still people who get top 10 in races and only participate occasionally, but I remember in season 3? there was one guy who finished top 3 in every race he did but he did less than 10 of em.)

I only see Zoroxo on for majority of the early morning races. Early morning be early morning for me on PST / west coast timezone. This includes like the 3am / 5am races til maybe noon my time. He just is so damn good at knowing exactly where to go every race, same times in fixed as normal. Hmmm. Don't plan to get first with this guy there.
