Question for OOO regarding Leaderboard PvP Prizes
Thu, 08/11/2011 - 19:07
Since it hasn't been stated yet, a quick question for anyone at OOO who can answer: Will we be seeing prizes like the Gold Crown costume item reappearing now that leaderboards are back? For those unaware, during the Beta, the top players would earn a one-week costume crown upon each leaderboard reset.
I ask because my guild took first in the Guild PvP Rankings during the reset this afternoon, and we were all curious as to whether or not these temporary costume items would be awarded to the top players / guilds upon reset.
Any clarification would be awesome - I hope I'm not alone in saying players from many guilds would love to see the return of costume items for the top scorers on the leaderboard. (Perhaps Gold costume Crowns for the first place guild, Silver for second, and Bronze for third.)
To all the players out there - are you also in favor of temporary costume rewards for the top players / guilds now that the AFK problem has largely been dealt with? Please post with your thoughts, either for or against!

Costume Crowns
I would love to see some sort of Crown Costume Item for the first three leaders on the guild PvP rankings! With all the effort each guild and their players put in, they deserve it.

Sure.
Costume items as a prize for being in Weekly Top 10s are a great idea. They could also be themed off of the games you're in the leaderboards on (a special Bombhead Crown for Blast Network, some weird keyhead mask for Lockdown (assuming it'll involve keys :V)) and things like that. Maybe some additional crowns or a bit of CE thrown into the package as well.

The current focus is on Krogmo rewards, but weekly prizes for top Coliseum players is something we're discussing as well.

Thanks for the response,
Thanks for the response, Nick!
Here's to hoping for Guild PvP (and other) leaderboard rewards in the future. : )

@Nick
You can do both, really. If you make the weekly prizes good enough it'll be even better incentive for people to play to earn tokens for those juicy Krogmo rewards, along with adding some sense of competition to the gametypes.

Only introduce weekly prizes
Only introduce weekly prizes for top coliseum players when the leaderboards actually mean something....
A costume for best k/d or w/l yes, but for having no life and playing PVP all day... I think not.

Well, given that they're
Well, given that they're discussing, it seems unlikely that prizes would be given out this Sunday evening along with the resets.
Fingers crossed that we'll hear some good news in the coming week or two, though! It would certainly give all the players and guilds a much stronger reason to rank highly on those Leader Boards, and play more PvP as a result.
This is a really great idea! I love it! The fact that being the top of the leaderboard not just for show would really make more people participate in PVP.
