Removing Kill Leaderboard and Leaderboard Notifications

[.Yes]

That's exactly how those operations went, actually. For Ambulas Reborn, all that was asked of you was 60 points to get the teraccota statue, 240 if you need the gold one (for ghost clans). That's all they ever asked of you. The fact that people did 10k points, that was of their own accord. They already got rewarded long before that, everything else is just extra they did willingly, and shouldn't be rewarded for it. Cause, even at your job, whether you give it 100% all 8 hours, every day of the week, or just half-arse it like most people do, the salary is the same each month.

 

in your example, the salary stays the same.

But in real life? Your bonus is heavily based on effort and hard work.

To remove competitiveness in a game is a completely ignorant move since competition is a part of HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

your lack of competitive spirit shouldn't be the standard of which other people and the clans they represent should conduct themselves, if you really want the exclusive content that might be locked behind a leaderboard work for it. Join a clan that actually plays regularly or live without the item

its that simple

Until you get promoted for your hard work if your boss is paying attention at all.

Wow, if your goal was to be as condescending as possible, you succeeded with flying colors.

I must also commend you on managing to combine both strawman arguments and labeling in a single post, you must be really proud of yourself.

 

If if you must know why I personally don’t care for this leaderboard (since you obviously have no clue and would strawman me if I didn’t mention it), then it’s because I am simply disinterested. Non of this bandwagon bs or...what is this...”not putting in effort”? Effort for what? Killing enemies that takes no effort whatsoever? Staying long times in endless missions (as much as I dislike endless missions) takes a magnitude more effort.

Oh, and one more thing...if your trying to be funny with the whole mentioning bandwagon 3 times, then don’t.

so you're saying if there was proper incentive included to leaderboard events you'd be more interested?

Ooh, more forum drama

There is no need for me to comment on this. @--Q--Phanini did it better than I ever could.

Probably not (just not my thing), I’m just particularly annoyed with bad argumentation techniques.

I’m strange like that.

That's the point of rewards, in any game with a leaderboard that I've played, there has always been a reward at the top of it.
It's a way of granting players gratification like:

"Hey look, you took the time to grind, you rescheduled your time just to get to the top, here you go have some reward"

Believe it or not most competitive people have lives, like stuff they do on a daily basis, be it work / school / etc...

i guess the would be nothing wrong with an syandana that you can only equip when you are in the top ten/hundred, but nothing useful should be locked behind some stupid leaderboard.

Because Leaderbords only serve one thing and that is a competition in who can brake the game the most.

When did this ever happen? I cannot think of a single useful item locked behind a leaderboard.

You probably read that wrong, it wasn't a a post backing an argument, it's my representation of what the comments on this post are like.
If you have no interest in leaderboards, forget it. And this posts discussion probably isn't for you.

This post was also about leaderboard events, operations and such. Not a leader board reward for kills.

Even if you weren’t arguing for something, you still strawmanned and labeled a bunch of people. That’s where I start to draw the line, so to speak. Intention means nothing if it’s poorly delivered.

primed chamber has been said to return one day

ignis wraith is tradable

anything else?

1. I forgot that mod exists, and it's honestly not worth the slot IMO

2. The blueprint for the Ignis can be traded, and it's not like clan levels actually matter currently.

Theory question here, say that all the clans that did have access to ignis blueprint creation disbanded? What would happen to the weapon?

RIP Leaderboards. Hopefully there is a solution for competitive gameplay that doesn't become "temporary" like the removal of Trials. Most people think that those leaderboards are pretty useless, but some people worked very hard for those leaderboards, and it is sad that minority is getting cut from the boards. I hope Void Onslaught promotes this sort of gameplay and rewards players for it, otherwise it will be another Incident Archive 2318-H where it is played for 1-2 weeks and abandoned.

yea im sure a lot of people 'worked' very hard to make scripts to get those kills, give those poor chaps a clap folks.

I was aware of leaderboards but did not care for them. Ive got resources to farm damn it.

Considering the chances of that actually happening, I don't think that will be an issue.

as I'm sure it doesn't personally affect the two of you, it does however have a lasting effect on niche communities who enjoy this sort of content.

yes it can be traded, and most people with access to it will charge like a "vitality" but you can't get the Clan research. 

Regarding the current usefulness of Clan levels: At the moment you are right, it doesn't matter.

But those 3000 exp could lead to the same discussions that emerge regularly about Founder Items and Mastery and I have no interest in having that again.

if you have no interest in bringing up a discussion regarding said hot topic, why did you bring it up..?

When clan levels start to matter, DE will relook at the ignis wraith situation, simple as that. Until then its available to the clans who earned it and whoever they wish to trade it to

And as you said they are "niche communities" so why should the majority have to deal with unwanted leaderboards just for a "Niche" part of the Community? 

If the "niche" Part would get some Dojo Room/Decoration to make custom Leaderboards for their Clan/Alliance they could get their Competition without affecting the other Parts of the Community which doesn't want competition.
