Bounty Leaderboard !!!!

[languid rock]

Please can we have a leaderboard to appreciate those G O A T s who grind bounties endlessly everyday.
Top 3 would be rewarded w different in game name colour and top 100 a discord role or smth asimilar so people would compete, the refresh would be once a month.
I think it would be nice for the community but also give players a personal reason to grind bounties, after all there are a lot of competitive players are there isn't much outlet for that except the events and numbers.

We don’t have discord roles for things like this

[worldly vault]

Can you imagine the amount of work it would be to keep it up to date? Every month having to look through 100 in-game people and try to even figure out what their discord name is? Not really feasible, and plenty of better things to be doing.

[woeful needle]

Whilst i do think they should be an ingame reward for those who take 1st place e.g. a golden grab bag or something, I don't see the purpose for the discord thing.. the latter being gimmicky and pointless. Going back to the first point of rewarding bounty hunters would encourage friendly in guild competition, and thus allow guilds to meet their qouta more easily.

[muted garden]

ngl I think the people that would reach the top of the leaderboard would have such a surplus of guild tokens that a grab bag isn't really what they'd be out for

[worldly vault]

And one could argue that the extra guild tokens (equating to more grab bags, which equates to more boosters, and more shards, etc) are already a personal reward for being bounty hunters.

A lot of guilds do their own competitions with rewards and such, if you feel you need to motivate your people more to help the guild.

I put in a request for something like this a long time ago, but the reward would be visual instead, like an obnoxious hat, Olympic style medal, or an avatar frame. Awarded based on top performer in guild that week.

I just made some on the spot prizes up tbh they aren't limited I just thought the cosmetic avenue was more sensible. Also bragging rights

But yeah bounty hunters need to be shown love too :^(

[woeful needle]

I feel your pain, I got my first MVP title today.. and i got nothing, we could get our merchant avatars together and raid HQ like the French did in 1789.. it'd be Titan Crads Bastille moment, with tyrant Reinhold gone, we can replace him with Elder Owen to force change to honour and properly compensate bounty hunters.

@woeful needle reinholdt is incompetent and spends wealth to show strength to the ever encroaching empire, whos spy and alchemist he was able to draw away with his "bumbling" ruining his economy makes him less of a threat, and he bribes us to keep quiet and defend the realm

let's be realistic if we asked for a stupid bounty hunter title for every quarter or month then he would grant it since it fits his extravagant and opulent persona

[dull gale]

TBH, people would just abuse the bounty system to get places since if you're low level now you can just opt to not unlock higher tier bps with scrolls thus limiting your bounties to like tier 6 while still leveling and getting all the other bonuses.
People crafting t12/t13s would have to do so much to try and keep up with someone who has similar level bins and perks but only needs to craft t6s and not t13s for same amount of trophies.

[dawn star]

That is super detrimental to player progression in other areas though. Refusing to unlock bps past t6 just to do bounties just for a spot on a leaderboard seems really wasteful imo

[dull gale]

So, same way like hero leaderboards can be exceptionally misleading and detrimental 👀

[gusty shore]

Or rewarding events with Trophies which increase the distance between whales and casual players even more so. Hypermax heros do really well with the dragon event so I've been told and the leaderboards were already out of reach in competition before.

[dawn star]

never the less, this game balances f2p/casual and p2w better than most. It is really all just an individual thing, and watching how you improve over time. there is no need to compare your performance/progress against anyone else.

[toxic tundra]

ngl if there would be a leaderboard then top players would prob be just yt who spend so much money

[languid rock]

mhm there are alot of people like that. maybe it shouldn't count crowns but a score of some sort i dunno, also what wrong with some players just grinding bounties only, eventually they'll master those low level bps and be forced to move on, until then they'll be maxing out and any guild who has them will level a lot faster

[dawn star]

there is nothing wrong with it if that is how they want to play. Some arguments could be made that it would be beneficial to a point. It would give a player time to gather research scrolls, and build up their roster, for example.

However, not progressing solely for the sake of bounties would be silly though, as you would be missing out on higher xp/gold from higher tier sales. Although, once you reach high enough merchant level then you could just buy higher tier gear from the market. 🤷‍♀️

I guess you would have a tough time reaching ascension track rewards, and collection book milestones.

[languid rock]

Dunno just don't master the bp and keep doing bounties scaled at low level. I mean other guild members can feed the bounty hunter better items to sell in shop while they are busy, this is after all a social & communal game

[balmy idol]

My friend really wants a bounty ranking. Just take off the store ornament and put the bounty on.

It's more than 2000 a week

Are there any plans for this?

This one is even more recent

[tall ermine]

This, bounties would need better balancing first.. I only ever do surcharge & Discount ones.
