I’d like to present a suggestion concerning the rewards players get from Battlefield PvP.
(Territory War, Guild Elimination, Guild Arena, Battlegrounds)
It is well known that there is little incentive for players who are not optimally geared to participate in Battlefield PvP. If players receive some sort of benefit to being active in PvP, I think it’s likely we’ll see an increase in participation at least on some level. I’m aware that Eden Eternal is not some hardcore PvP game and players should not have to go to Battlefield PvP to get exclusive items they can only get from there.
Right now, the main reward that a player gets from participating in Battlefield PvP is war stones. Unfortunately, for the Awaken VGN server at 130 cap, this reward is quite insignificant. In the “classic” era of the game, war stones were a reasonable and useful item to obtain over time for players to gear themselves, but I think the reward system should be modernized and fit into the actual meta of the “awakened” server we play on.
The Battlefield Reward Chest’s reward outcomes should be changed. Unless there is a new method implemented for players to obtain war stones over time, then the chests should probably continue to give war stones in addition to the below.
I think we can accomplish this in one of the two ways.
Allow these items to randomly come directly from the chest.
Incorporate a new currency (or rework PvP Tokens) into the game that you would get from the chests and have these items bought from an NPC.
The new items we should be getting from participating in Battlefield PvP are:
· Zodiac Sparkles
· Abyssal Soul
· Fragmented Abyssal Soul
· Azure Crystal
· Viridian Crystal Fragment
· Empty Parchment
· Angelic Parchment
· Demonic Parchment
· Blessed EXP Jar
· Cursed EXP Jar
· Abyssal EXP Jar
· Viroona Godstone
· Event buffs such as:
o Mulled Wine
o Abyss Flower Charm
o Abyss Grown Mushroom
o Corrupted Crystal
There are probably other items that would be nice to add, but I decided to be a bit conservative on this suggestion to start.
I would be interested in hearing community opinion on the above and if anyone has any ideas of what reward would make a good incentive for players that I have not yet considered. I'm sure someone out there has a great suggestion to add.
Thanks for reading.
