Obviously the people in the leaderboards care. The last update really from AGS was the leaderboard. Like watching a ref move the goal post mid game after someone scored a touch down. You happy and want to actively participate in events where rules can just change whenever?
People expect to compete against other competitors, not the ref. That’s not the type of ref I want calling the shots in my game. Not complaining about it seems apathetic and complacent to me. If you want health competition make it so that rules matter.
it’s a smack in the face and it proves they don’t care about the hundreds of hours and millions in gold we all put into our leaderboard spots. Delaying the seasons is one thing, but delaying a competitive event is the LAST thing they shouldve done. Changing the time at the very last minute, not giving a couple days heads up in advance? ZERO TRANSPARENCY. I have never seen a company do this to its player base before. It’s upsetting to say the least.
A very loud minority, even louder and smaller than the NeRF HeALeRs crowd.
Nobody cares about leaderboards, nobody asked and they got pushed as a big thing.
With the endless list of things that NEED to be addressed, leaderboards might not even exist and server pop and overall feeling wouldn’t change a single degree.
You’re just now figuring this out lol? AGS has done tons of stuff like this in the past. This is why people need to not ignore stuff like this so maybe AGS listening but no enough people say something. people always say well it doesn’t affect me so who cares. Now it affects them and they care but it’s too late.
I’ve been here since beta and seen all the shenanigans that have been pulled. It doesn’t matter if it’s PVP or PVE related, everyone who plays the game feels the consequences in some way shape or form.
Why is this such a big deal? I don’t pay any attention to the leaderboard I’m just curious why people say this is the worst thing ever? Not trolling at all just wanting to know.
What are you loosing?
If you deserve your spot can’t you just continue playing and hold it?
Say you’re running a marathon and you’ve dedicated your time and everything into preparing for it because it matters a lot to you to be top10 in the finishing times.
You prepare for the traditional 41.8km distance.
At 41 kilometres - you can already see the finishing line coming up - the organizers realized that they suddenly want a marathon to be 45km long. You’ve only practiced for 41.8m and you’re not sure if you can make it longer. Your feet ache a lot, you direly need to take a dump and worst of all, your wife told you you should’t even have joined because she doesn’t want you to have bleeding nipples.
It’s okay though, you carry on as you still want to finish top10 and prove it to yourself.
At 44.5kilometes, the organizers decide that once again, it’s not been far enough. You now have to run 48 kilometres.
How would that make you feel, having the finish line move further back for you and all the other guys racing?
Oh and I forgot, to actually be aware of the fact that the goal line was moved back further you have to check your mobile phone and go on the organizer’s website and check where the new goal line is at.
