Share your Feedback on an Upcoming One-month Event!

Giving out free MTX for completing challenges was perfect, I got both the red and blue seraph sets and they're from one of the more fun events I've played in. Lotteries aren't exciting because you already know you aren't going to win before you even start, which makes the whole race feel like a chore. Free MTX is a great option because, even if lots of other people get it and it's just a recolor of an existing set, it gives people without the ability to support the game a way to still look good. It also gives people a taste of playing the dress up game, which makes them more likely to spend in the future.

On that note, a flashback league would probably be more fun than a hybrid league, especially if you plan on doing a hybrid league after warbands/tempest end anyway?

Okay, bear with me here: Flashback league AND Warbands/Tempest. Flashback mods with a schedule like last time, but EVERY area has both a Warband AND a Tempest.

Event Type
My preference would be a Flashback event, but throwing Warbands/Tempest into the mix would be fine too. The issue with the last Flashback event, as others have pointed out, was those 3-day cycles of certain mods combinations which were met with mixed popularity. Consider making the most requested league mods semi-permanent to provide players some incentive to play during any given cycle. Beyond is a personal favorite. Week-ends can have all mods enabled for insane risk vs reward fun.

Player Goals
The set of challenges in the last hybrid 1-month event was reasonable both in difficulty and time required and I'd like to see something similar this time.

If you include a boss kill challenge again, please make it so that a player only completes the achievement if he's the only one present in the instance. Such a system is not perfect and could still be circumvented, but it would at least prevent some players from charging multiple people for boss kills -- an all too common occurrence in hardcore. Ideally, map bosses from a Zana mission shouldn't count for challenge completion either.

Prizes
Whatever, really. Any kind of MTX would be nice.

Top players (overall or of each class) should be awarded a special prize as a recognition of their effort and tenacity. A healthy competition at the top is essential in such events in my opinion.

I personally really enjoyed the last hybrid 1 month league. I think it would be pretty cool if there were some rewards for the upcoming one month that would synergize with the previous rewards. Such as some blue and red weapon effects/back attachment/helmet augmentations/pets that would match well with the blue and red armor that many of us have already won.

I'm going to try and keep my feedback short. First of all GREAT idea to not only request feedback but also put it on the login page (bring players into the forum/show interaction with players etc).

League mods: Hybrid Flashback Warbands/Tempest. Something that adds more mods over time (example 4 total first 7 days, 7 total next 5 etc, maybe randomly rotating). Idea being it gets more difficult and rewarding nearer the end to keep players challenged (even if they already have for ex. 4/4). Also notice that for hardcore league players if there isn't warbands they won't have had access to the uniques.

Challenges: I felt the last 1M challenges 4 total had the right balance of difficulty and time investment. It was a mix of level and challenge requirement and not toooo grindy.

Prizes: I disliked 'having' to do both leagues to get both MTX colours and ended up not bothering with the SC. It did make achieving the 4/4 in HC very satisfying though as it 'felt' like a real achievement, so maybe I take back what I just said. Although this may be unpopular I think guaranteed MTX is maybe too generous, but having said that something cool and unique to the league would not affect players motivation to 'contribute', instead of a full armour MTX something like the helm or like some have suggested Hideout decoration for those that get 4/4 and from 2/4 onwards a chance to win stash tabs or whatever.
Signed art or Physical divination cards for top X players would I'm guessing be what those players prefer, a personal touch is always great for those that are obviously the most dedicated.


(AHHH, one last thing (slightly off topic). Considering that eventually the rarest items in the game will become league specific uniques (and this is good philosophy imo as it gives one extra thing to hunt/craft etc) I liked the idea of the warband uniques and buffed uniques would serve this future purpose naturally.) And...please for next league not a totem but the core idea of Hideout bling is good. Maybe a throne next time :p

Flashback type please.

And rewards don't matter for me.

Flashback was without a doubt the most fun thing to play and level in. You have to do that again someday, but honestly I'd be perfectly happy with a Warbands/Tempest first. Save flashback as a trump card for when you need an extra month development time for new leagues, mini-expansion, or expansion.

I think challenges as a goal with prizes being a MTX are great. The challenges don't have to be very difficult really.

Signed artwork or signed poster reward is something I'd probably keep the rest of my life :P

I'm intrigued by the idea of playing with warbands... but don't want any more Tempest. The things that are annoying about Tempest are just too annoying for me to want more of it after it's league ends.

Flashback league! And MTX as prizes are amazing! Thanks for all the hard work GGG
keep it up!

1 month endless ledge!!!
