Maybe have vanity discount -50 plat/vanity with players reaching 100k pts.

Was being sarcastic...smhQuote:

Collage and school started for most of us 100k is a bit high unless points are changed differently. 100k is like 20-24hrs of play time?
This is true but some people are busy and dont have time to grind the event religiously, thats including me. Birthday weekend so ill be doing family thingsQuote:

But all this ensures that: A) The hardcore grinders will achieve gold tier once again and 2) the players willing to spend plat will feel more enticed to purchase platinum. For games like PL to sustain, there can't be a level playing ground for both P2P and F2P players in terms of looting unique vanities or having access to different gold maps.Quote:

And tradable versions of the vanities for this event to further the incentive.Quote:

We should definitely wait to see how fast the points accumulate before making any suggestions about if they should stay this, or be lowered to that.

But there is a balance between catering to P2p and F2P players. In order to have a healthy player base and economy you need both. However the F2P player base will decline if these events are catered solely to those who pay to win, as this one most appears to be. I, and a good deal of my friends I have talked to in game, will not be participating in this event because of the insane point threshold.Quote:

I think that the 35k point threshold along with the myxx elixir was the perfect combination. Everyone had a chance to hit gold tier, and plat spenders had a exponentially higher chance of dropping the rare vanities. I do admit that if the points per hour is much higher, than I will be more inclined to participate. Guess we will have to wait and see.
Just my 2 cents though.
In any case, Cinco always checks the velocity on the first day and makes adjustments if he deems it necessary.
I think it would be more enticing if we werent just getting weapons. Tbh id much rather see full lootable sets + 1 or 2 weapons to go with our current sets.Quote:

That weapon sounds like it could be very cool, i would like to see it happenQuote:

Hope this time around the Myxx Loot vanity weapon's drop has rate has been increased since it won't return next event, it's frustrating spending abit amount of plat and never get lucky with any drop.
I think 100k for gold-tier is fine. There needs to be a genuine reward for people who are willing to sit down and grind.
Just a suggestion, I think it would be better if the “Death Knight Vanity Set” has a skull effect for example like the (mimi ring). I think the color effect (dark purple) is fine but maybe just add skulls on the color effect because it would resemble a real like death knight.Quote:

Can't wait for this event. 100k is going to be a challegenge but I'm up for it!
Yes you can, the pve events are inclusive to all levels.Quote:

Unless you are lucky to join a group of kind higher levels that welcome you to join them, or host a locked map of your own with you having the highest level character in the party.
Thought after each event we fix the issues to make the next one better. Points got double to reduce time, solo mode got balanced for players who want it, points were awarded to all players in the area to make multi better, myxx elixir was added a while ago with demand, loot has been refreshed with demand and all has been going well so why did we feel the need to change the tresholds this time?when they have been working fine all this time and the amounts are just way too high in my opinion. I believe what Cinco always said is 'i want as many winners as possible' so with people having things to do and schools starting for some it just feels like an inconvenient and very unneeded change. To give you an idea about the time it would take i will use the data from the last group event. We organized guild runs with myxx elixir and stocked dmg+combo elixirs, remaking as soon as bosses are down to save most amount of time possible and even like that it took around 2mins for 350-400 points and if we use the 2mins for 350points as the base it would take solid 10 hours of efficient plat farming for 105k points. When you start reducing the plat spending, removing guild members and replacing them with randoms, and reducing combo amounts the time required keeps climbing.
In short i believe most issues of previous events if not all have been solved and the point change is unnecessary and limits are too high for what we aim with these cool little events.
Not everyone should reach gold-tier easily. It's how it should have been from the start IMO.
